Thirty minutes passed as Victoria paced frantically inside her master bedroom.
She tossed expensive designer dresses into a single black suitcase messily.
Her mind raced as she thought about her ruined social standing.
If her friends found out, she would be completely humiliated everywhere.
She dragged her heavy suitcase down the grand spiral staircase slowly.
Julian was waiting in the high foyer with two legal documents.
A legal process server stood beside him with a black pen.
Julian: Sign these temporary separation papers before you leave my estate.
Victoria: I am calling my father's lawyer right this second!
Julian: Your father's firm is currently facing a massive tax audit.
Julian: He cannot help you escape the consequences of your actions.
Victoria's hands shook as she took the pen from the server.
She realized Julian had planned every legal move with total precision.
He was the top attorney in the city for a reason.
She scribbled her name quickly on the white paper with tears.
Victoria: You will regret treating your wife like this, Julian!
Julian: I only regret not defending my mother much sooner than today.
He took the signed paper and handed it to the server.
Then he motioned for the security team to open doors.
The bright sunlight flooded into the grand hall from outside today.
A simple yellow taxi was waiting near the long private driveway.
Victoria looked out at the modest car with sheer shock on face.
Victoria: Where is my luxury car and my private driver today?
Julian: Those keys belong to my corporate company account now.
Julian: You can take a public taxi back to your apartment.
Victoria gripped the handle of her suitcase until her knuckles turned white.
She looked up at the giant mansion she used to rule.
Elena came down the stairs wearing a clean, warm blue sweater.
She looked peaceful and dignified standing beside her successful loving son.
Elena: I hope you find peace and learn kindness, Victoria.
Victoria: Keep your fake sympathy to yourself, old lady!
Julian: Guards, throw her out permanently and lock the main gates.
The guards guided Victoria firmly toward the large open front doors.
She was escorted down the stone steps under the afternoon sun.
The heavy iron gates clicked shut behind her with finality today.
She stood near the road while the yellow taxi honked softly.
Her life of unearned luxury had officially come to an end.
