His corporate accounts were locked.
Every single personal credit card, joint investment portfolio, and emergency liquid reserve had been slapped with an emergency judicial freeze.
His private corporate phone rang instantly, piercing the silent, sunlit executive office like a sudden gunshot.
“Mr. Whitmore, this is the senior partner at Sterling & Vance Legal Counsel,” a crisp, formal voice announced over the speakerphone.

“She can’t do that! We have a binding prenuptial agreement drafted by the best legal minds in Maryland!” Grant yelled, his face flushing crimson.
“That prenuptial agreement becomes void under Maryland family law when gross negligence and endangerment of a child are legally established,” the voice stated coldly.
