Chapter 8 - David Consults A High-Powered Manhattan Divorce Attorney
Bright morning sunlight streamed through the tall white-paneled windows of the mansion living room as David reviewed his legal options.
He didn't waste time mourning a dead marriage; he picked up his phone and dialed Marcus Vance, New York’s most ruthless litigator.
“Marcus Vance speaking. If this is a social call, my hourly retainer just doubled,” a sharp, confident voice answered immediately.
“It’s David Bennett, Marcus. I need emergency representation for an expedited divorce, sole custody, and criminal asset freeze.”
“David? You sound like a man who just survived a bomb blast. Tell me what happened in that mansion,” Marcus requested seriously.
David detailed the harrowing ironing incident, the security footage evidence, and Clara’s history of dangerous, negligent behavior.
“Good God… she tried to iron clothing right over an infant? That’s not just negligence; that’s textbook reckless endangerment,” Marcus noted.
“I have the 4K smart home security footage downloaded on an encrypted drive ready for your forensic review,” David stated firmly.

“Bring it to my Wall Street office by 10:00 a.m. sharp. We’ll file emergency restraining orders before she even wakes up,” Marcus promised.
David hung up the phone, feeling a surge of absolute confidence as the wheels of true American justice began to turn.
