Chapter 10 - Digging the Grave Deeper
With Julian completely out of the picture, Marcus and I turned our full, undivided attention toward destroying Eleanor.
Submitting the evidence of her conspiracy to the family court judge was only the first step in our grand, ruinous plan.
Marcus forwarded the entire dossier of Eleanor’s financial crimes to his contacts at the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The FBI immediately launched a massive, discreet probe into the Kensington family’s extensive financial holdings and offshore accounts.
During their investigation, they discovered something far more sinister than a simple conspiracy to break up a marriage.
Silas, our brilliant private investigator, called an emergency meeting in my hospital room to deliver the shocking news.
He had uncovered a massive, decades-long embezzlement scheme hidden deep within the Kensington charitable foundation.
Eleanor had not just been protecting Julian’s inheritance; she had been actively stealing millions from the charity to fund her own lavish lifestyle.
She had purchased yachts, luxury properties in Europe, and priceless art, all hidden behind layers of complex, illegal shell companies.
The reason she was so terrified of Julian receiving his full inheritance was because the transfer of power required a complete, independent audit of the family’s finances.
An audit would instantly expose her massive theft, sending her directly to federal prison for the rest of her miserable life.
She needed to delay Julian’s inheritance by disqualifying my baby, buying herself enough time to cover up her massive financial crimes.
I felt a sickening wave of disgust wash over me as I realized the sheer depth of her absolute depravity.
She was not just a cruel, snobby mother-in-law; she was a calculated, ruthless, white-collar criminal.
Marcus rubbed his hands together gleefully, a wicked, triumphant smile spreading across his sharp face.
He explained that we now possessed the power to not just win a divorce settlement, but to completely dismantle the Kensington real estate empire.
I looked at Marcus and told him to burn her empire completely to the ground.
We began drafting a highly strategic, devastating civil lawsuit that would completely bankrupt Eleanor Kensington.

She had thrown me out into the cold with thirty dollars, and I was going to ensure she ended up with absolutely nothing.
The storm she had started was about to turn into an absolute hurricane, and I was the one controlling the wind.
