Chapter 15 - Legal Papers Served Instantly Inside The Grand Foyer
Late that same evening, a court bailiff walked up the front steps of the federal holding facility holding official legal documents.
He was escorted down the concrete corridor to holding cell number four, where Elena sat huddled on a narrow metal cot.
“Elena Vance? You have been officially served with divorce papers and asset forfeiture notices filed by your husband,” the bailiff announced.
He shoved the thick stack of legal papers through the steel bars of the cell door, letting them land clattering on the floor.
Elena stared at the documents in absolute shock, reading the bold title printed across the top header in disbelief.
“PETITION FOR ABSOLUTE DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE AND FULL ASSET REVOCATION.”
“He can't divorce me while I'm locked in here! I am entitled to half of everything he owns!” Elena screamed at the concrete walls.
A prison guard walked past her cell, tapping his nightstick lightly against the iron bars with a cold, indifferent grin.
“Turns out prenuptial agreements signed by federal judges hold up pretty well in court, Mrs. Vance,” the guard mocked.

Elena collapsed onto the cot, sobbing uncontrollably as her total ruin became an unalterable reality.
