My ex-wife wanted to sue me for half the house, but she never expected Id seen it all coming.
Our marriage ended in a courtroomno point blaming one over the other; in a breakup, both share the guilt.
Yet the truth was, my second wife had taken a lovera wealthy businessman whod arrived years ago and opened a quaint little café in our town. At first, she tried hiding the affair, but soon, they didnt even bother.
Then she confronted me, declaring shed file for divorce and demand half our home. She thought Id panic, but the flat had been bought with my own hard-earned money. Shed lived there two years, nothing more. Now she dared stake a claim.
I stayed calm. I didnt dissuade her from court. I just waited for her to lose and pay the legal fees. Id learned from my first wifeour case dragged three years, every hearing ending in shouting matches.
In the end, she won. She found a sharp solicitor and took half my inheritance, the house my father left me.
But with my second wife, I was wiser. Before marrying her, Id already owned a flatfully renovated, but under my brothers name. Hes the one soul I trust completely. So when divorce loomed, I had nothing to lose. No woman would swindle me again.
