Mark adjusted his suit jacket as sweat began to glisten on his forehead.
Mark: We can talk about this at home, Sarah. Let us just take the plane now.
Sarah: You are not going home to my mansion ever again, Mark.
Chloe: Wait, what about my bonus check that was supposed to clear today?
Sarah: I suggest you check your online banking app right now, Chloe.
Chloe pulled out her phone and frantically tapped on her finance screen.
Her eyes went wide as she saw a zero balance next to her payroll deposit line.
Chloe: Mark! You said the transfer had already cleared the court yesterday!
Mark: Shut up, Chloe! Not here in the middle of the terminal!
Sarah: No, please continue. I love hearing the truth coming out at last.
Two uniformed airport security officers began walking toward the boarding desk.
Arthur had contacted the airport administration directly to handle the trespass warning.
Officer: Is there a problem here, Mr. Sterling?
Mark: No officer, this is just a minor personal misunderstanding with my wife.
Sarah: I am no longer his wife, officer. He is trespassing on my private aircraft lease.
The lead officer looked at the digital authorization file on his tablet screen.
Officer: Ma'am, the owner of the charter lease is confirmed as Sarah Vance Holdings.
Sarah: That is correct. And I am revoking access for these two individuals immediately.
Mark: Sarah, please! We can work this out! Think about our five years together!
Sarah: I am thinking about those five years. I am thinking about how foolish I was.
Chloe looked at Mark with total anger and disgust written across her face.
Chloe: You lied to me! You told me you held all the family assets!
Mark: I was going to have it all once the transfer went through today!
Chloe: You dragged me into a federal fraud investigation for nothing!
Chloe grabbed her designer luggage and turned on her heel without another word.
She stomped down the terminal hall, leaving Mark standing completely alone.
Mark reached out his hand toward Sarah with a pleading, desperate expression.
Mark: Sarah, I made a terrible mistake. Chloe meant nothing to me at all.
Sarah: You did not make a mistake. You made a series of deliberate choices.
Mark: Where am I supposed to go? All my personal belongings are at the estate!
Sarah: The locks were changed ten minutes ago by my security team.
Mark took a step forward, but the security officer placed a firm hand on his shoulder.
Officer: Sir, you need to step away from the gate area immediately.
Mark looked around the terminal, realizing everyone was watching his public downfall.
His expensive suit no longer made him look like a powerful executive.
He looked like a man who had lost everything because of his own greed.
Sarah adjusted her trench coat and handed her personal passport to the attendant.
Sarah: Please prepare the private jet for one passenger to Hawaii.
Attendant: Right away, Ms. Vance. Clear skies ahead for your trip.
