PRENUP... Always read the fine print!

Chelle's POV:

College was hectic especially after I began to build my own business, but I managed it. I attended college half days and got everything ready for my business in the evening and weekends. Sara and I were going for the same degree so we were able help each other with our courses, just like in our high school days.

Second year in college and Shane switched professions. He is now seeking the same degree as Sara and I. At first I thought yeah he's only here because he and his girlfriend broke up, but turns out he was here because this was his first choice but his now ex-girlfriend decided he needed to go after a different degree. I think she was thinking money wise and not happiness wise, but whatever. So just like in high school, the three of us began to hang out and work our assignments together. It felt good having our little group back together, unfortunately my love for him hadn't disappeared and being near him again, my heart started to remind me of the way he made me feel before.

I explained this to Sara, yes I had never told her how I felt about Shane, and yes it was another thing I kept secret from her, back in high school, but it wasn't because I thought she also had a crush on him or anything. No it was because by the time I had enough courage to tell her, Shane stopped hanging out with us completely, so I kept it to myself. After explaining it to Sara she told me I should tell him before someone else comes and takes him away from me again.

I sighed and thought about telling him, but I needed to find the right time and place.

Third year of college and I had yet to tell Shane how I felt. I watched as over the past year or so how he had rejected almost every girl and even some boy's whom had asked him out, only going out with a few, but they didn't last long. May be a week or so. I thought of telling him, but I just didn't have the courage to.

Our third year was one of our best times hanging out. Sara got engaged to whom she called the love of her life. I was genuinely happy for her. She encouraged me to tell Shane how I felt but something or someone was stopping me.

Fourth and final year of college. Sara had her engagement party and shortly afterwards her wedding. It was beautiful and it made me realize I had never looked at anyone as my life partner except for Shane. I finally got the courage to tell him how I felt.

We dated our last year of college and right after graduation he wanted to get married. My parents agreed but only if he signed the prenup.

Shane agreed to sign. I told him before he signed to take it to his lawyer and both of them thoroughly read every inch of the prenup including the fine print.

Three days had passed and Shane showed up at my parents door with his parents and their lawyer to discuss the prenup and our wedding and marriage.

It was the longest discussion of my life. His family wanted a stipulation on the prenup that involved me. I don't know if they thought I wouldn't sign or whatever but my parents agreed and their stipulations were also written on the prenup.

But at the end everyone was happy with the results of the prenup, which both of us had agreed to sign.

Shanes prenup:

1: We have a child together and end up divorcing and Shane had not cheated Shane will receive half of our assets.

2:If we have a child together and Shane ends up having an affair, he will only receive a large sum payment and be removed from all assets with his name on it, including any business that my money helped build.

3: If we divorce and do not have a child Shane will only receive twenty percent of our assets, but will able to keep his business.

4: If Shane has a mistress and a child is produced and the mistress begins to demand things for their child, he gets absolutely nothing and both him and the mistress will have to pay me damages.

5: If Shane take's me to court to fight the prenup and we had divorced for any of the above reason, he gets absolutely nothing and will have to pay me damages.

My prenup:

1: If Shane and I have a child but we divorce I won't lose anything because the assets are mine.

2: If we have a child but I end up cheating, I lose half my assets.

3: If I cheat and a child is produced that is not Shane's I lose seventy percent of my assets and all my businesses that I would have built throughout Shane and I's relationship.

I know it seems a little harsh but their has been way too many cases of my parents friends going through similar things that I had written as a stipulation on the prenup. I don't want to have to deal with a cheating partner, especially one that sees nothing wrong with cheating or having a mistress or even demand things after the divorce.

After we all signed the prenup our families began discussing our engagement party, wedding and our marriage during dinner.

By the time night came and dinner was done, all the discussion for Shane and I's engagement party was scheduled for the following weekend. Our wedding was to follow the following month and as for a housing after our marriage my parents agreed that we should move into my house.

At first I didn't want us to move into my house, not because I was regretting marrying him, but that was my first house, my dream house that I had constructed just the way I wanted.

I wanted to keep that house for our child when he/her grew up. But after talking to my parents they made me understand that I can still pass it to our child.
