Chapter 11 - The Secret Trust Account
Inside her attorney’s high-rise office in Tysons Corner, Claire sat across from Virginia’s top divorce litigator, Sarah Jenkins.
Claire wore a tailored charcoal suit jacket over her silk blouse, her expression focused as she reviewed bank ledgers.
"Mark has no legal claim to the Great Falls house or the core capital of your father’s trust, Claire," Sarah explained.
"However, because you’ve been married for four years, he will attempt to claim alimony and a percentage of joint investments."
Claire pulled a black leather binder from her tote bag, placing it gently on the glass coffee table between them.
"He won't be getting a single dollar of alimony, Sarah," Claire said softly, opening the binder to reveal bank statements.
"For three years, Mark has been secretly transferring forty thousand dollars a month out of our joint household account."

"Where was the money going?" Sarah asked, her eyebrows rising in professional intrigue.
"To an offshore LLC registered in Delaware... under his mother’s maiden name."
