Novel & Cerita Accepting Massive Inheritance After Divorce

Everything about him screamed competence and discretion. "The paperwork is ready for your final signature." He slid a stack of documents across the desk. "Everything has been reviewed and approved. This is simply the formality of making it official." I stared at the papers. My marriage, reduced to signatures. "There are also documents regarding the inheritance clause built into your marriage contract," Mr. Marcus continued. "Upon finalization of the divorce without producing an heir within five years, certain assets transfer to you." My breath caught. "I remember." "These documents confirm that transfer."

When it comes to my turn, I take a deep breath and tell my father everything I can about my life. I tell him about the lonely childhood with Grandma and Grandpa. I tell him about my mother’s death, and I tell him about life and college. I tell him about my marriage to Malachi, and as much as it saddens me, I do not leave any part out. By the time I get to my intention for a divorce, he’s practically shaking in his chair and I can see rage in his eyes. “No one should treat my daughter like that.”

“You have papers to sign.” The memory left behind its residue, pain lingering beneath her scarf, throbbing beneath her glasses. One lawyer slid the papers toward her. “Standard dissolution terms,” he explained gently. “Assets allocated accordingly.” Alicia lowered her gaze to the divorce agreement. She had decided to sign even before today. Freedom mattered more than pride. Page after page confirmed what she already suspected. From asset division to property ownership to corporate allocations. She owned… nothing. She wasn’t stupid. She knew why everything had to be in Levi’s name. She never questioned it then, and she didn’t regret it now.

Freeda retorted, rolling her eyes. "You don't need to say more! Here's the asset division agreement for after the divorce. Take a look." Vahn handed me a document from the lawyer. As I flipped through the pages, I saw they had already discovered details of my father's investments. It was clear they had long intended to claim my father's inheritance. The final page of the agreement stated, 'Upon acceptance of the rejection, all joint assets listed above will be divided equally between both parties.' After examining the document, I stood up and tore it in front of everyone.

"Then why did you give me those assets? I didn't need—!" "It was my son's final wish." Her voice softened a fraction. "He earned money for me to leave the country and enjoy my life while travelling. But he requested me to give half of his assets including the house you stayed in with him. The Justin who wanted to accept you as his family, who tried to be the husband but failed, did make sure he left something meaningful for you." Tears streamed down my face as I looked at the floor, my head spinning.

“I’m aware that you two were divorced before her unfortunate passing.” Aaron’s jaw tightened, but he quickly recovered. “Yes, well… legal paperwork takes time, and we were still very much involved before she passed.” Richard wasn’t buying it. He folded his hands on the desk and raised an eyebrow. “I see. So what exactly do you want, Mr. Aaron” Aaron leaned back in his chair, trying to appear relaxed. “I believe Mira left behind a substantial inheritance. As her husband, I’d like to discuss how it should be handled.”

She was not surprised when it did. “Okay. Sure thing. But don’t be surprised when you get divorce papers in the mail. If it galls you to part with just ten grand, let’s see how happy you would be to part with half your inheritance. It would do me a world of good too, having all that money to spend as I like. It’s your call, really.” He told her.

Jasper had his hands clasped behind him and didn't turn to look at her. "We've already agreed on the assets before marriage, so there won't be any issues with that. However, I will compensate you with another 20 million and a villa on the outskirts. After all, you'd be leaving without anything else. It'd be hard for me to explain that to Grandpa later if you do." Alice was stunned and upset. "Does … does Grandpa know you're divorcing me?" "So what if he knows? Do you think it'll affect my decision?"

Despite doing all that for Ethan, he'd shoved me down the stairs and killed me, but it seems like I have been reborn exactly two years ago when I had gotten the call regarding my father's inheritance. I looked at the wedding photo on the nightstand—Ethan’s lying, smiling face. A wave of nausea hit me, followed by a cold, searing clarity. “I understand,”I said. My voice was no longer shaking. It was like ice. “May I confirm your marital and family status for the inheritance process?” He asked. “Do you have a spouse or children who will be co-beneficiaries?” I didn't hesitate. “No,” I strongly confirmed. “I have no husband or children. I'll inherit everything. Alone.”

“I will indeed be gone forever. You still remember that we had an agreement around a year ago, right? I just need to stay with you until you can give your father a grandchild, and we will divorce after that. That's why I wasn't wrong when I said that I was leaving forever, right? After all, your father already got two grandchildren from you." “…” Jessica was stunned. She didn't expect her husband to bring up the topic so soon. “Do you want a divorce as soon as I give birth? Is it because you can't wait until the inheritance falls into your hands?” Jessica asked the man. Suddenly, Noah's expression became darker after hearing her words. “Why are you talking about inheritance? Didn't I tell yo
