Chapter 3

Day three, Cassie took me to meet a lawyer.

Ms. Hartley, mid–forties, had handled over a hundred divorce cases, 92% win rate.

“Ms. Morgan, I’ve got the gist of your situation.” She flipped through the materials I’d brought. “What are you looking for?”

“First, divorce. Second, custody of my son. Third, asset division–I want what’s mine.”

“How much in assets?”

‘Marital property: one house, market value 2.8 million, mortgage 800k, net 2 million. Savings: 500k in his name, 200k in mine. Stocks and funds, around 300k. Total, roughly 3 million.”

Ms. Hartley nodded. “If you can prove infidelity and that he spent marital assets on his mistress, you can claim a larger share.”

‘How much can I get?”

‘Standard split is fifty–fifty, but with solid evidence, you could get 60-70%. That’s 1.8 to 2.1 million.”

‘I want seventy.”

‘Then you need ironclad proof.” She looked me dead in the eye. “What do you have right now?”

pulled out my phone, showed her the screenshots.

‘Messages, her social media posts.” –

She went through them one by one. “These are good. But not enough.”

Not enough?”

In court, he could claim the messages are fake, the charges were business expenses, the social media posts are coincidence.

You need more direct evidence.”

Like what?”

Like intimate videos of them together, or a recording of him admitting to the affair, or third party testimony.”

“Third–party?”

My eyes lit up. “Right. I can ask his coworker!”

‘And a PI–if they can get video of them being intimate, that’s smoking gun material.”

‘Already on it.”

Ms. Hartley nodded approvingly. “Ms. Morgan, you’re sharp. And calm. Most people fall apart emotionally at a time like this, can’t do anything.”

“Because I know crying won’t solve this.” I held her gaze. “I want results, not a breakdown.”

“Good. Let’s start preparing.” She pulled out a document.

“This is a divorce agreement template. Take a look. Our strategy: gather evidence first, then file once we’ve got everything we

need.”

“He’s back in four days.”

“Plenty of time.” Ms. Hartley said.

“Here’s what you need to do: First, contact his company’s HR, confirm whether this retreat is real.”

“Second, have the PI go to Hawaii and get video.”

“Third, recover his more deleted chat logs–there’s bound to be useful stuff in there.”

“How do I recover chat logs?”

‘I’ve got a specialist who can retrieve deleted data from phones.”

‘How much?”

‘Ten grand.”

‘Done.”

Ms. Hartley extended her hand. “Pleasure working with you, Ms. Morgan.”

‘Likewise.”

Back at my parents‘ place, Jamie was already asleep.

sat in the bedroom, called Ryan’s company HR.

‘Hello, this is H&T Company Human Resources.”

‘Hi, this is Ryan Wilson’s wife. I wanted to confirm–the Hawaii team retreat the company organized, what are the dates?”

‘Hawaii retreat?” The HR rep sounded confused. “We didn’t organize a Hawaii retreat.”

My heart was pounding. “You didn’t?”

“No. Our retreat this year is next month, in Bahama. Not Hawaii.”

“So Ryan’s Hawaii trip…”

“Oh, Mr. Wilson took vacation days. Seven days, November 15th to 22nd.”

Vacation days.

I closed my eyes. “Got it. Thanks.”

“No problem.”

I hung up, leaned back against the chair.

So, he told me it was a company retreat. In reality, he’d taken his own time off.

Third–party testimony–got it.
