I was seven months pregnant when Grant shoved me down the marble stairs. As I lay there, he leaned in and whispered, “Say you slipped… or you lose everything.” At the hospital, his “perfect” story almost worked—until his assistant slid me a flash drive: secret recordings, offshore accounts, and one line that froze my blood: “If she tries to leave, ruin her.” Then my lawyer said, “Caroline… you own 68%.” Now I’m walking into court—smiling—ready to end him.

And I’m just getting started.
