“If he has anything hidden, find it,” I told Sean and Jason.“His business accounts will be layered and complicated to avoid taxes, like any billionaire.”

Myself included.

“Marry it against his Statement of Worth,” I added.

If Adam has lied, we’ll find out.

Courtney had to make the same sworn statement, and if I’d taken a look, I’d know she has very little in her own account.From our discussions, Adam didn’t know she had her own account and that she’d squirreled anything away.

If he’s as controlling as she says he is, that will anger him.An angry opponent is not a reasonable one.

He doesn’t know she had to lie to fashion retailers to have cash of her own to spend.The fucker.

His claims that she stole money from their marital assets without proof is a scare tactic and a form of bullying.

I’m surprised Warren didn’t tell him not to try that with me.I’m not some new kid on the block.Still, if a client instructs you, we are obligated to do as they ask.

Courtney was rattled, but it provided us the chance to speak more openly and for me to learn more about her.

Now, I’m keeping a distance between us.

Being near her isn’t wise.

Even hearing her voice would have me craving her.So I’ve asked Jason and Sean to be the point of contact with her on a daily basis.

Jason messaged to tell her we won’t respond to his claims and simply ask Vanguard to bring evidence to the mediation for our clients.

Which they won’t have.

Courtney has respected the new boundaries and sent her thanks via Sean.

Which fucked me off.

I want to see her.

This is why lawyers shouldn’t fuck their clients.

I wonder if her body was aching after I pounded that ass of hers.If she had bruises where my hands gripped her hips.

Has she dreamed of me sliding my cock inside her again, licking her pussy, sucking on her sweet nipples?

A message appears on my phone finally.

Mason and Dereck are keen on drinking, although Mase addsnot at Obsidian Club.

Predictable.

I flick them the name of another bar we often meet at, tell them to bring the girls, and am not surprised when Colt and Sebastian say they’re going to join us.Then, I message Terrance to bring the car around and head home to change.

BY MIDNIGHT, AND severalwhiskies into the night, I think I’ve seen Courtney three times.

“Hey beautiful.”I leaned into one woman only to have her turn around angrily to tell me to piss off.Then she smiled when she saw my face.

Nope.

Not my client.
