PRENUP... Always read the fine print!

1

Chelle's POV:

"You should have read the fine print my love". I almost yelled out at him but keep calm and spoke professionally towards him, with a small unnoticeable smile on my face.

'I did and so did my lawyer, those last three sentences were not on there when I signed the prenup'. He practically hollered back at me.

I smiled so big knowing neither he nor his lawyer actually read the whole prenup, because if they did, we would not be sitting in a court room waiting for now ex-husband to know he gets absolutely nothing from our seven year marriage.

You must be wondering why we are in court and why he is fighting me for his share of what he considers our property...

Let me explain what brought us to this point.

I came from an extremely rich family, yes I was born with a silver spoon, well more like a gold spoon in my mouth, but unlike most rich kids I actually worked for every thing I have, including the business that I have built up myself. Now I am not saying my family did not help me in the beginning, but not like what you are thinking. I took out a loan from my family to help build my business with a contract that stated if I cannot pay back the loan within five years I would have to hand over ninety nine percent of my business to parents leaving me with only one percent ownership. Of course I worked hard and was able to pay every thing off within three years.

You are probably wondering why I chose this way instead of just having my parents buy and build my business without doing anything myself. Well that's because my mother had done the same thing when she was my age.

See my parents met in college and fell deeply in love. Obviously both of their parents were skeptical about each other, not because they couldn't see the love each of my parents had for each other, but because they both came from wealthy families, but neither one spoke about their financial statuses. It wasn't until my parents families met with each other did they know about each other's statues. My mother started her own business the same way I did, using her great grandmother's maiden name on all her contracts, the same way I had done. My parents only kept their status from each other and others around in their college days

I on the other hand never showed my status starting from elementary days. I wanted friends that wanted to truly be my friend for whom I am and not what they can get from me. That being said since elementary school I never wore name brand clothing outside my house, so of course I was bullied about not being able to have the latest version of whatever just came out from clothing to backpack to phone or even other electronics. The thing is I actually had all those things as soon as I walked into my house, I just chose never to reveal myself til the right time.

It was probably the end of eighth grade that I finally got a new friend and also the start of my crushing on a particular boy. He was a cute nerdy boy, or what the world considers a nerd, I on the other hand found him unique and beautiful.

Every time we did projects together my heart would skip a beat. We grew closer as eighth grade ended and ninth began. We were assigned to almost every class together and beings we spent most of the end of eighth grade and our summer together we became a team in our classes doing projects and assignments together.

As ninth ended and tenth began, then tenth ended and eleventh started we once again shared almost every class together, everyone started thinking we were already a couple because of how close we were. And to be honest as time went on my crush turned into love. I knew I loved him and from the way he acted I was sure he loved me too, but I wasn't sure if he was in love with me or his love was just as a friend.

As eleventh grade ended and twelfth started we began to drift apart. He was no longer the nerdy boy I had fallen in love with, now he was a slightly muscular athletic boy that every girl and some guys found gorgeous. As we drifted apart I realized over the last five years I only managed to make two true real friends that didn't care that I never wore or had the lastest of anything, and that now I was losing one of them.

I had learned about Sara's status by accident, because like me she never shared her status, but unlike me she actually wore name brand clothing and had the lastest gadgets. She told me many times for birthdays and holidays she would buy them for me but I always refused. I knew what it was like to have money and people expected you to buy them expensive things.

Over the years I watched as some people came into my parents lives and expected them to take care of them financially because my parents families have money. I didn't want Sara to think we are friends because of what I can get from her, I wanted her to know I truly valued our friendship and that money was never the reason behind us being friends. Even though I never revealed my status to Sara until after college, she was a little upset because I had kept it a secret from her for years, but after I explained to her why she understood.

Anyways back to twelfth grade. Sara and I became closer as Shane started to drift away from us. Instead of eating lunch with us, he chose his new sports friends to eat with which was fine for both Sara and I, because he still talked to us friendly and even invited us to his games, but once he started to ignore us except when he wasn't with his new friends that when we started to not answer his calls when he called and began cancelling on him the same way he had us.

Skip to graduation and the talks of colleges. Sara and I had planned to go to the same college whichever one we got into. We never discussed it with Shane because he stopped talking to us, but when he found out Sara and I got into the same college he also applied and got in. No not on an athletic scholarship, he got in because of his grades. He may have went from nerd to jock but the brains were still there.

At first I was happy thinking we would able to get our friendship back, but my happiness was short lived when I found out his then girlfriend was also attending the same college.
