Contracted to Love

More Information Than She Wanted

Both lawyers stepped away from the bench and the judge instructed them to continue.

"If the question is too difficult for you, Mr. Harrison why don't you explain your relationship with Mrs. Dawn Mason?"

Travis gritted his teeth, "She's the wife of one of my shareholders."

"I see, and you have no other relationship with Mrs. Mason?"

Glaring Travis stated, " Her husband is impotent, she initiated a more physical relationship at our annual retreat."

"And where was your wife at that time?"

"At home I suppose." He shrugged

"What about Mrs. Claudia Jameson?"

"We met at a charity gala and got a room together in the hotel the hosting the gala"

"Where was your wife then?"

"At home."

"What about Ms.Cynthia Foster?"

"She's my sister's friend."

"Mr. Harrison where do you reside?"

"My legal address is 1500 Emporia Ave."

"I didn't ask for your legal address Mr. Harrison. Where is it that you sleep? Where do you shower, eat, actually live?"

"In the penthouse of the Osprey" Travis grudgingly responded

"And do you live there alone?"

"No my sister also lives there."

"And Ms. Foster?"

"She lost her apartment last month and has been staying with my sister." Travis admitted.

"Your honor I'd like to present Defendant evidence labeled 2-23" Mrs. Reynolds handed a stack of photos to the bailiff and Travis's lawyer as well as to Travis in the witness stand.

"Do you recognize these?"

Travis shuffled through what appeared to be printed screen shots. "Mr Harrison, please read the printed screen shot labeled D-2"

Travis stared at the indicated photo.

"Aloud for the court please Mr. Harrison." Mrs. Reynolds asked

"Just thought you'd like to know what your husband is doing right now" Travis read

"And what is the accompanied photo of Mr. Harrison?"

Travis felt sick, he didn't want to answer so he clamped his lips and looked at his sister with rage burning in his eyes.

"Mr. Harrison?"

"Me having s*x with Ms. Foster" he all but growled.

"And who sent that to my client?"

"My sister Tina."

"Thank you Mr. Harrison, no more questions your honor."

"If it pleases the court your honor, we have a list of eighteen other witnesses who will attest to their relationship with Mr. Harrison, but we are willing to waive calling on them if Mr. Harrison accepts honoring the fidelity clause and will not protest the dissolution of the marriage."

At the nod from Travis, his lawyer agreed, " Mr. Harrison accepts the dissolution and agrees to pay the fidelity penalty."

"This court finds in favor of the defendant Mrs. Tara Harrison , and as requested restores her to her former name, Tara Ciconne DeVine. Mr. Harrison is hereby ordered to pay the fidelity fine of ten million dollars within the next ninety days. Case dismissed."

Tara sighed, her sham of a marriage was over, finally. He father had insisted that she could not be the one to initiate a divorce or he'd disown her and name his nephew as heir. She had waited for the thirty months specified in the contract for them to produce an heir, suspecting Travis would use the fertility clause as grounds for divorcing her. She had gambled and won. She smiled brightly at her friend and lawyer. "Thank you Trina, I have no idea where you got your information about his conquests, but I am glad you did."

Trina Reynolds shrugged, "James may or may not have hacked his emails and phone." she winked.

Tara just shook her head and laughed, of course best friend would do that for her. "Well it's over now so I can get back to my life."

"You know, we could have won with just that screenshot you sent me, but I wanted to ground his arrogant ass into the dust." Trina admitted then scoffed, "I argued against having the press present during the hearing but the douche nozzle claimed if you had nothing to be ashamed of why ban the press. That's when I decided to not only crush him, but obliterate his reputation." Trina admitted with a grin.

Tara laughed,"It's a good thing James worships the ground you walk on, I'd hate to try and help him pick up the pieces if he was crazy enough to screw around on you."

Trina smiled again, "I know right."
