“What do you mean? There is no way to get of a prenup, is there?” Patricia questioned in uncertainty.
“Loopholes are actually quite common in many types of contract; you just need to know what to look for and who to ask.”
“Thomas is a very cautious man, I hardly doubt he would overlook the tiniest bit of detail, especially one as important as this… one that involves money.”
“But he’s still human, I’m sure there are a few discrepancies to nullify the prenup. Anyways, before we get ahead of ourselves, I need to know, will you be able to go through with it?”
“With what? A divorce? Of course…”
“Pat, we both know how much you loved him, so please think carefully about this. I’m not here to force a decision on you, even if it will make things easier on the kids it might be too much for you. Whatever y
Thank you for reading. Lots of love (inntri).
For the pass couple of days, Jessica was still very much on her feet running around trying to set her brother free. However, with no such luck in convincing the Stevens family into dropping the charges filed against him or the arresting officers to release him on parole pending his court hearing, her only option was to plead with their father to return home in hopes of settling the matter. “I’m here to see my son, make it quick... I don’t have much time to be waiting around.” An arrogant middle age man, rudely demanded upon entering the police station. “Yes sir, but may I know who you’re looking for…” The front desk rookie asked respectfully, seeing that the man before him was neatly dressed in an expensive Armani suit, assuming he was someone of great power and wealth. “Jake Lancer, you idiot! If you can’t recognize money when you see it, then get someone that can! Where the h
While Patricia and Chelsey were busy going through the findings of Mr. Hector’s expert analysis as a law attorney, exclusive to Stevens enterprises. Erika and Jeremy were occupied with their fair share of assignment, today was the first part of their group presentation. Despite the continuous low whispering chatters of false information concerning the still ever so popular Jake Lancer, the two managed to calmly make it through each day… caring less about the opinionated majority, knowing fully well what the truth of the matter was. However, you know sometime there are those kinds of persons that enjoy watching others in misery rather than at peace, just because they wanted them to be as bitter and unhappy as they are? The plastics were such unpleasant brats, trying to stir up their usual negative controversies. “Babe, are you going to give the introduction or do you want
“So, what does that mean?” Chelsey asked, despite already having her own conclusion in mind. “It means that your mother can easily claim fifty present rights to Adams Enterprises, since the agreement had only covered premarital assets and had not specified future acquirements. She will be entitled to equal shares of the company alongside your father.” Neither knew how to react at first, thinking it was unlike Thomas Adams to make such a critical oversight. Then again, he wasn’t the same man back then, his mind wasn’t as twisted and greedy as the scheming businessman he is today. “You don’t have to decide upon anything right now, I’m just here to present you with your options. Take your time and consider the pros and cons of moving ahead.” Hector reminded the mother daughter duo, seeing the look of contemplation on their faces. “If I’m to gain
Smiling foolishly to herself, Erika carelessly enjoyed the feelings floating around in her stomach as she stood outside the class room for a few minutes trying her calm herself down before returning to her place beside the teasing boy, who sat silently with his usual cold demeanor, acting as though he was an emotionless aloof young man, instead of just a regular cheeky college student with natural hormonal impulses. Sneaking peeks at the corners of her eyes, she wondered how it was possible for the handsome heartstopper to be able to switch between personalities so quickly. One minute he was all flirty, sweet and a bit more talkative than she was and the next…. he was like a brick wall. Without realizing it, Erika subconsciously began staring at Jeremy’s profile until he whispered lowly, “do you like what you see?” “Yes…” She blurted out, then added to cover over her embarrassm
In any other circumstances, Phillip would have easily advice his daughter to give up on chasing after a guy that was possibly interested in someone else. However, when it came to the teenager in question, that’s wasn’t about to happen. He was absolutely certain that no matter what, Britney would still cling onto every last straw until she could claim Jeremy Adams. Now that the situation had gotten to this point, the only solution that instantly popped into mind was publicly binding the two together through engagement… or in other words a promise for a future wedding. “Phil? What’s the matter? Did something go wrong? I’m sure it’s just a silly little misunderstanding, you know kids these days, always jumping into conclusions.” Thomas anxiously tried smoothing out the issue without knowing exactly what it was, yet at the back of his mind he could already guess what it was related to… &n
After a while no one responded, thinking Thomas was probably reminding Jeremy of their so-called arrangement. Realizing their cluelessness, he added… “your engagement banquet will be held in two days at most.” “what?” “Are you insane?” “No way!” The three protested one after another, finally understanding what the rush was about. “It’s not a request, the decision has already been made and you have no one but yourself to blame, besides… what the heck were you thinking running around with that Stevens girl behind my back?” Stunned, Jeremy’s breath hitched as his lips moved without uttering a single word of defense. It seemed the truth had already been made known, so there was no use in hiding or pretending. “Tom when will you stop controlling th
The following day was rather hectic in all corners. Patricia nervously explained Thomas’s visit to Laura and thus busied herself making preparation with Mr. Hector concerning her official decision in filing for a divorce. Neither of the Stevens couple told their daughter about the sudden change of events, instead they wanted to wait until the matter was properly settled before breaking the news of Jeremy’s parents’ legal separation and her opportunity to move ahead with the relationship at ease. This was a common understanding they all shared. Celebrate after success and not before. However, things weren’t as simple as waiting it out. Phillip and Britney were almost certain that Thomas would be able to handle the issue on his side… his usual act of manipulation and threats. With this in mind, they confidently began making premature plans for the expected engagement banquet.
You know how it is when someone suddenly receives a painful news, for some reason their mind just shuts down… at a loss for words, unable to think clearly… repeating the silly famous question, why? Or how could this be? Well, Erika wasn’t one of those persons. She could already guess this had something to do with Britney and her involvement with Jeremy, leading to such a rushed announcement. However, the fact that he most likely knew of the tidal wave threating to collapse on their newly sprouting relationship and had not express a hint of worry over the possible outcome. Now that was what scared her. Thinking that maybe the reason he wanted to spend more time with her was because he viewed this as their last bitter sweet goodbye. “Crap! I told you, but you never listen to me… damn stupid teenage hormones! You should have stuck to the plan from the beginning, avoid Jeremy. But nooo… you just had to go
