My client, Mrs Alisa Pavlovna, has left your joint residence and is initiating divorce proceedings.
Any attempts to contact her directly will be considered harassment and will result in immediate legal action.
Also be warned: if you attempt to pressure, contest the divorce or continue to threaten Mrs Pavlovna, we will be forced to publicise the fact that you are demanding a forced termination of the pregnancy. This will have serious consequences for both your reputation and your business.
We strongly recommend that you co-operate and resolve the situation peacefully.
Sincerely,
Igor Belkin
Lawyer, Belkin & Partners
A couple of days later Artyom received the letter. As expected, he immediately called.
Natalia, what the hell is going on?! Where’s Alisa?! Why are you meddling?! – he shouted into the phone.
I answered calmly:
I know everything, Artem. And Alice is safe. Your threats no longer have power over her.
He fell silent. Then he hissed:
You think you can just take her away like that?
I didn’t take her away. She leaves on her own. And if you try to pressure her, you know what happens.
He hung up. I knew it was a blow to the ego. But that was just the first step. Next – on the most painful place: the money.
I met with Belkin again.
We should initiate an audit of Artyom’s company. I’ve had my suspicions about the fraud for a long time. It’s time to uncover it.
He nodded. – ‘That’s an excellent idea. We’ll start immediately.
The audit caused an uproar. Artyom’s assets were temporarily frozen, investors got worried, questions started.
He called again, this time with a broken voice:
Natalia, you’re going too far. You’re destroying me…
I replied coldly:
You’re the one destroying yourself, Artyom. Next time think before manipulating people.
Meanwhile, I helped Alice file for divorce and got her the best women’s rights lawyer. We launched a campaign of support by telling her story – and the media quickly picked up the story. The public was on her side. Artyom’s image crumbled.
One evening, Alice and I were sitting by the lake, watching the sunset.
I still can’t believe it all happened,” she whispered.
You’re stronger than you think,” I replied. – And you’re doing the right thing for you and the baby.
A few weeks later, the results of the audit came back – serious financial irregularities were revealed. The scandal was high-profile. Artyom’s company went down. Reputation destroyed. And a difficult divorce lay ahead.
Alisa found the strength to start over. We became friends. She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, and I was there for every important moment.
One day, sitting in the living room, she suddenly said:
I don’t know what I’d do without you, Natasha. You are my anchor.
I smiled:
We women have to stick together. And sometimes… karma just needs a gentle nudge.
Artyom lost everything: his business, his reputation, his control. And I found peace and justice. Life, as they say, put everything in its place. You reap what you sow.
