Victoria's apologetic expression vanished instantly, replaced by a sneer of contempt.
She crossed her arms over her metallic bronze dress and laughed aloud in the foyer.
Victoria: You cannot just throw me out of this mansion, Nathan.
Victoria: We are legally married, and this house belongs to both of us now.
Nathan reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out his smartphone with steady hands.
Nathan: This estate was purchased ten years ago under my family trust fund.
Nathan: You signed a comprehensive prenup agreement two weeks before our wedding.
Victoria's eyes narrowed into angry slits as she stepped closer to him.
Victoria: That prenup only applies if I leave voluntarily!
Victoria: If you try to end this marriage, I will take half your real estate company.
Nathan: You think a judge will grant you alimony after seeing this scene?
Nathan pointed his finger down at the security camera mounted discreetly near the chandelier.
Victoria's gaze darted up toward the tiny black lens sitting in the corner moulding.
A sudden flash of terror washed over her face as she swallowed hard.
Victoria: Those cameras were supposed to be disconnected for maintenance today.
Nathan: I rescheduled the technician for next week.
Nathan: Every second of your violent outburst was recorded in full high definition.
Victoria took a step toward the wall, her polished red nails digging into her palms.
Victoria: You setup a trap for me!
Nathan: No, you revealed who you really are when you thought nobody was watching.
Nathan tapped his phone screen and dialed a direct number he kept on speed dial.
Nathan: Robert, this is Nathan.
Nathan: I need my legal team at the house immediately.
Nathan: We are filing an emergency protective order and immediate divorce proceedings.
Victoria lunged forward, trying to grab the mobile device out of Nathan's hand.
Victoria: Hang up that phone right now, Nathan!
Nathan easily stepped aside, letting her stumble forward onto the slick floor tile.
Nathan: If you do not leave within twenty minutes, the police will escort you out.
