Chapter 15 - THE HOUSESeven months after the seafood dinner, the divorce approached resolution.

The fraudulent marital agreement was invalidated.

The trust was rejected.

The $480,000 financing never funded.

Charlotte's credit was repaired.

Skylar's identity was protected.

Her education account began recovering.

Then Andrea placed the final settlement in front of Charlotte.

"You keep the house."

Charlotte stared at the document.

"Completely?"

"Subject to the agreed financial offsets."

Brandon would waive his fraudulent property claims.

Certain legitimate marital issues would be settled.

He would contribute to restitution.

Charlotte would not pay spousal support.

Primary custody of Skylar would remain with Charlotte.

She signed.

Two days later, Brandon signed.

The marriage was over.

Not dramatically.

No screaming.

No shattered glass.

Just two signatures.

Sometimes endings are quieter than beginnings.
