So, my ex-wife tried to sue me for half the house, but she didnt see it comingId already thought ten steps ahead.
Our marriage ended up in courtno point arguing whos to blame, really. In a relationship, its never just one persons fault.
But heres the thing: my second wife had been seeing this wealthy businessman. Bloke moved here ages ago, opened a little coffee shop in our town. At first, she tried to hide the affair, but soon enough, they werent even bothering.
Then she drops the bombfiling for divorce and demanding half the house. She thought Id panic, but the flat was bought entirely with my own hard-earned money. Shed lived there two years, thats it. Now she has the nerve to claim its hers?
I stayed calm. Didnt even try to talk her out of court. Just waited for her to lose and foot the legal bill. See, Id been through this before with my first wife. That case dragged on for three yearsevery hearing turned into a row. In the end, she got what she wantedhalf my assets. She found a slick solicitor, and I lost the house Id inherited from my dad.
But second time round? I was smarter. Before marrying again, Id already bought a placefully renovated it myselfbut the deed was in my brothers name. Hes the one person I trust completely. So when the divorce rolled around, legally, I owned nothing. After my first mess of a marriage, no woman was ever going to pull one over on me again.
