PART 7
The neighbors came out slowly.
Mrs. Alvarez from across the street.
Tom and Dana from the corner.
The retired mailman, Earl, who had delivered birthday cards to the Reed children for fifteen years.
Everyone pretended not to stare.
Everyone stared.
Jaxon hated witnesses.
He liked audiences only when he controlled the script.
“This is theft,” he shouted.
Ruby reached into the SUV and took out a folder.
“No.”
“This is property law.”
Jaxon laughed harshly.
“You can’t move a marital home.”
Denise Morales stepped out of the SUV’s passenger side.
Jaxon’s face changed when he saw the attorney.
Denise wore a black coat, carried a tablet, and looked like she had been waiting all morning to enjoy being underestimated.
She opened the folder.
“The land is separate inherited property belonging solely to Ruby Whitlock Reed.”
She held up the first document.
“The structure is registered as a relocatable heritage residence originally moved to the property in 1974.”
Second document.
“Renovations were paid from Ruby’s separate inheritance account.”
Third document.
“Court notice of relocation was filed after your repeated written demand that Ruby vacate the premises.”
Fourth document.
“Utility disconnect, transport permits, and municipal approvals were granted before relocation.”
Jaxon stared at the papers.
“You filed notice?”
Denise smiled.
“To your attorney.”
Jaxon turned pale.
He had ignored his attorney’s calls during the wedding week.
Ruby knew that because Denise had warned her.
“Jaxon believes silence is power,” Denise had said.
“Let him keep believing it until the permit clears.”
Blair stared at Jaxon.
“You didn’t check your legal messages?”
He snapped, “I was getting married.”
Ruby looked at him.
“Yes.”
“That was helpful.”
Marcus covered his mouth.
It was not quite a laugh.
But it was close.
Jaxon stepped toward the muddy foundation.
“This is insane.”
Denise’s voice stayed even.
“What is insane is telling your ex-wife to vacate a house you never owned while leaving the country and publicly announcing your new wife would move in.”
Earl the retired mailman muttered, “That part was bold.”
Mrs. Alvarez nodded.
Jaxon spun toward them.
“Mind your business.”
Ruby looked down the street.
“They are.”
“You made this neighborhood listen to your lies for months.”
May you like
“Today they get the ending.”
