Chapter 5 - The Legal Counter-Offensive
Within twenty-four hours, the Reeves household was a war zone—not of flying porcelain, but of cold, calculated corporate law.
Amelia didn't cry. She didn't retreat to a hotel. She called Marcus Vance, the most ruthless divorce attorney in the city, a man who specialized in dismantling high-net-worth men who thought their wealth made them invincible.
Olivia stood by her side throughout the entire ordeal, organizing files, pulling tax returns, and providing firsthand testimony of Gabriel's systematic pattern of infidelity, gaslighting, and financial manipulation over the years.
Gabriel tried to fight back. He threatened to cut off funding, freeze joint accounts, and drag her name through the mud in the press. He thought Amelia was the fragile, polite philanthropist he had married.
He had no idea what she was truly capable of when backed into a corner.

On the third day after the discovery, Marcus Vance dropped a legal bomb on Gabriel's desk at Reeves Global. Because of pre-nuptial loopholes, offshore asset hiding that Olivia had accidentally caught wind of years ago, and ironclad trust protections, Amelia wasn't just filing for divorce—she was suing for full control of the company shares he had acquired using family capital.
Faced with the prospect of a public federal investigation into his corporate tax evasion and hidden mistresses, Gabriel's high-priced legal team forced him into a corner.
