Chapter 14 - The Husband Makes A Shocking Decision Regarding Marriage
Back at the sprawling suburban estate, the Husband sat alone in his high-tech study pouring over old family photograph albums.
He looked at pictures from their wedding day five years ago, wondering at what exact point greed replaced genuine affection in Elena's heart.
He closed the leather-bound album with a soft thud, sliding it into the bottom drawer of his mahogany executive desk.
He picked up his encrypted satellite phone and dialed his corporate legal team to initiate immediate divorce proceedings.
“File for an immediate, fault-based dissolution of marriage on grounds of grand larceny, fraud, and attempted framing,” he instructed.
“We'll have the emergency divorce decree drafted and filed before the courthouse closes tonight, Mr. Vance,” his attorney confirmed.
He felt no sorrow or regret—only a profound sense of liberation and clarity that he hadn't experienced in years.
He walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the evening stars begin to sparkle across the clear night sky.
