The courts usually leaned toward compassion. They rarely approved divorce during the nursing period.

But Demi’s bump hadn’t started to show.

Wayne rubbed his forehead. Once the tension eased from his face, he asked, “Does Nevin know?”

Demi gave a nod.

He paused for a moment. “Can you tell me why you want to leave him?”

Since reconnecting, he’d never asked that directly.

Wayne had seen every kind of case. Nothing surprised Him anymore.

This didn’t either. Divorce was normal.

It was usually a broken heart or a cheating spouse.

“He…” Demi stopped herself. She wanted to say Nevin had been unfaithful, but she had no proof.

Emotional betrayal didn’t count in court. She took a breath. “We’re done. I don’t love him anymore.”

She meant it.

Wayne saw something flicker in her eyes. Maybe doubt. Maybe not.

Her tone sounded like she was trying to make herself believe it too.

But then again, she was asking for a divorce while carrying his child. That said enough. She was probably telling the truth.

It was still just a divorce. Not the end of the world.

If she wanted out, he’d help her.

When she scolded Orion about school, every single word from his mouth praised Rhea. He’d say he missed her. He’d say Demi was just pretending to be a good mon.

The silence dragged.

Wayne shifted gears. “When did things start to fall apart When you stayed home full-time, did Nevin ever take on any responsibility?”

Demi answered with quiet nods and slow shakes. She added a few details where it mattered.

Wayne turned on a recorder and documented every word.

Each sentence helped him build the case.

Demi’s terms were brutally simple.

She didn’t want a single penny.

She didn’t want custody of Orion.

She just wanted the court to let her go.

At Blackwell Group, Nevin sat frozen in front of the court summons. He stared at it for a long time. Joe waited silently across the room.

Eventually, Nevin blinked and dropped the paper on the desk. He accepted the truth.

His fingers started tapping. “Put everything else on hold Tell legal to freeze all the non-urgent cases. I want full prep before the hearing. Check if Wayne has any legal rivals. Offer whatever it takes to get them.”
