* PART ONE \u2013 DISCOVERY AND PREPARATION ***<\/p>\n
I\u2019m Diana, 34 years old, and 3 weeks ago, I signed away everything I had to
\nmy soon-to-be ex-husband, the five-bedroom house, both cars, the real
\nestate company, all of it. My lawyer begged me not to do it. My mother-in-law
\nsmirked from the gallery seats.<\/p>\n
Brittney, my husband\u2019s 27-year-old mistress, actually took a selfie right
\nthere in the courtroom.<\/p>\n
And Vincent, the man I once thought I\u2019d spend my life with, smiled like he just won the
\nlottery. But that smile disappeared exactly 47 seconds later when his lawyer
\nfinished reading the final clause in our agreement.<\/p>\n

Now, let me take you back 3 years
\nto the night I accidentally opened the wrong drawer in Vincent\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
Eight years of marriage. That\u2019s how long I
\nspent building a life with Vincent Saunders. From the outside, we had everything.<\/p>\n
A sprawling colonial house
\nin the suburbs of Houston with five bedrooms we didn\u2019t need.<\/p>\n
A Porsche Cayenne in the garage for him. A
\n12-year-old Honda Accord for me.<\/p>\n
Dinner parties where Vincent held court while I
\nrefilled wine glasses. The perfect American dream.<\/p>\n
If you squinted hard
\nenough and didn\u2019t ask too many questions, Vincent controlled everything about our finances.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll handle the
\nmoney, you handle the house,\u201d he told me on our honeymoon. And I, young, in love,
\ndesperate to avoid the kind of fights that destroyed my parents\u2019 marriage, agreed. Before Tyler was born, I was a
\nsenior accountant at a midsized firm downtown.<\/p>\n
I was good at it.<\/p>\n
Numbers made
\nsense to me in a way people sometimes didn\u2019t. But when I got pregnant, Vincent
\nsat me down with that reasonable tone he used when he\u2019d already made a decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe baby needs his mother at home. I
\nmake enough for both of us.\u201d<\/p>\n
So, I quit.<\/p>\n
Traded spreadsheets for sippy cups,
\nclient meetings for playdates.<\/p>\n
And when Tyler started kindergarten and I picked up part-time remote accounting work to
\nkeep my skills sharp, Vincent barely noticed. To him, I was furniture,
\nuseful, present, and utterly unremarkable. He\u2019d check his Rolex Submariner, a gift to himself for
\nclosing some deal, and announce he had investor meetings that would run late.<\/p>\n
