The woman, overwhelmed by labor pains, tried calling her husband. He answered while holding his mistress in one arm, his phone in the other, his tone cold and detached. “If it’s a girl, I’m not raising her. She’ll just clutter up the house… Go stay with your parents.” Then he ended the call. The next day, when he returned home, what he found shook him completely.

Andrew forced a laugh and said, “I told her to go to her parents, I did not expect her to move out so quickly, but that is fine because I will change the locks.”

“That will not be necessary, because this property belongs to Mrs. Pierce,” Mr. Hamilton said evenly.

Andrew’s smile faded as he stared at him. “What are you talking about, I bought this house myself.”

“With funds from her family trust, and you signed a prenuptial agreement five years ago that clearly states separation of assets, and in cases of infidelity or emotional abandonment she retains full ownership of the residence and any business funded by her inheritance,” the attorney explained.
