... self-centred egotist. Why choose a married woman when you could have anyone? Do you get off from taking what isn't yours, it's not a romance, it's just a game to you..." Scott turned to look his wife in the eyes before continuing, "...congratulations Claude, you won and you're more than welcome to claim the prize." He turned to one of the security guards, "Get him out of my house before I decide to take my chances getting through you two. I'm trying not to do anything to jeopardise looking after Chloe but that situation might change. Shannon sat in some amazement, she had never seen Claude so easily dismissed, people usually fawned over him, he had title, money and power, and Scott made him seem utterly inconsequential. The lead security guy smiled but not cruelly, "I think we do need to leave Sir, he has every right in his home." Claude nodded, "Shannon I think your contract has run its course, I will pay the outstanding balance and say you completed ahead of time but I won't need your services going forward." With that Claude left the small house, the two guards in tow. "Seems like you have been dumped dear, not a nice feeling is it?

He was about to end the call when he remembered Claude's visit to his home. It lasted just a couple of minutes, with Scott confirming he was married to Shannon Williams, that they weren't divorced or separated and that they did have a child. He was aware of a relationship between his wife and Claude; but he refused to say more. The story broke a few days later; it was an expose focused on Claude who was branded as a philanderer, not in itself a problem but the list of linked marriage break ups were. Shannon was mentioned in passing along with many others. *** The divorce dragged on for months with Shannon resisting all the way. They sat in an office with their lawyers, Scott finally breaking the awkward silence. "We need to talk about Chloe and the divorce Shannon." "If you pursue the divorce, I want the house, and the savings seeing as I earned them." "Fucking hell Shannon get a grip, I suppose at least your consistent, so materialistic and you just have to win don't you. I want full custody of Chloe." "Never, Chloe needs her mum." "Don't make me laugh, she ...
