Let Me Stay The Night

“No, Mr. Hadley’s lawyer is here. He wants to see you.”

A lawyer? Why would a lawyer come over all of a sudden?

Feeling curious and nervous, Christina slowly got dressed and made her way out of the bathroom.

The lawyer, Leonardo Lozowski, was sitting on the couch in the living room. On the coffee table in front of him were two sets of documents and a fancy-looking pen.

“What brings you here all of a sudden, Mr. Lozowski?” Christina asked as she sat down on the couch next to his.

Leonardo wasted no time with pleasantries and got straight to the point. “Mr. Hadley wanted me to pass these documents to you,” he said, handing her one of the two folders on the coffee table.

For some reason, Christina had a bad feeling about its contents.

Sure enough, the document turned out to be a divorce agreement.

“A divorce agreement? He wants to divorce me?” Christina was shocked and confused by the sudden turn of events.

“That’s right.” Leonardo nodded. “Once you and Mr. Hadley are divorced, the Steele family will get to keep the fifty million as compensation.”
