My ex-wife wanted to sue me for half the house, but she never saw it comingI’d prepared for this long before.
Our marriage ended in a courtroom showdown. I wont point fingers; in any relationship, both sides share the blame. But one thing was clear: my second wife had taken up with a wealthy businessman. Hed arrived in our town years ago and opened a quaint little café. At first, she tried to hide their affair, but soon, they didnt even bother.
Then she confronted me, cold and smug, demanding a divorce and half our home. She expected panic, desperationbut that flat was bought with every penny Id earned honestly. She had no claim to it, save for living there two years. And now, she had the nerve to act entitled.
I stayed calm. I didnt plead or argue. I just waited for her to lose in court and foot the legal bill. Id been through this before with my first wifethree years of bitter hearings, every one ending in shouting matches. In the end, she got what she wanted: half of everything, including the house Id inherited from my father. A sharp lawyer, thats all it took.
But I wasnt making the same mistake twice. Before marrying again, Id bought another place, renovated it myselfbut it was under my brothers name. Hes the only person I trust without question. So when divorce papers landed, I had nothing left to lose. After my first marriage, no woman would ever play me for a fool again.
