Chapter 4 - The Shark Attorney
I sat in a sleek, modern office overlooking the Chicago river, sipping a hot coffee.
Across from me sat Marcus Vance, the most ruthless and feared divorce attorney in the state.
Marcus was reviewing the USB drive I had given him, his eyes wide with genuine shock.
"Clara, this isn't just grounds for a divorce; this is a federal RICO case," Marcus whispered.
I smiled calmly, touching the bruised, purple skin on my swollen jawline.
"I want you to file the divorce papers immediately, and I want maximum damages for the assault," I stated.
Marcus nodded, typing rapidly on his laptop to begin drafting the aggressive legal documents.
I told him I wanted Julian to be left with absolutely nothing but the clothes on his back.
I wanted to legally strip them of their penthouse, their cars, and their false dignity.
Marcus warned me that Arthur Sterling was a dangerous man who would try to destroy my life.
I took another slow sip of my coffee, feeling an incredible surge of fearless power.
"Arthur is a billionaire bully who only has power because people are too afraid to fight back," I replied.
I explained that without his stolen money, Arthur was just a sad, angry old man.
Marcus printed out a massive stack of preliminary injunctions and handed me a pen.
I signed my name with bold, confident strokes, legally declaring war on the Sterling family.
The papers would be served to Julian and Arthur before the stock market even closed today.

They thought they could hit me and get away with it.
They were about to learn that my revenge was far more painful than a simple punch.
