AT THIRD PERSON'S POV:
In the morning Michael decided to visit his lawyer Villiam, he needed to find out if in his wedding papers she was not going to ask for something if they could get divorced.
"Good morning, Mr. Smith. Thank you for coming in today."Michael's lawyer said with a smile.
"Morning,Villiam. I appreciate you making the time."Michael said.
"Of course, let's dive right in. I've reviewed the contract you sent over. It's quite interesting. I understand your question about the divorce problem."Villiam said.
"I wanted to make sure if I buy something with my new earned money she is not going to have something. She always was mad about me being poor."Michael said.
"I understand. In this paragraph is written down that she does not want a single thing from you"A lawyer said.
START OF A FLASHBACK
Michael and Wanessa went to the lawyer a week before their wedding. Isabella's parents did not want a poor man to marry their daughter, so they pretty much made them sign a wedding agreement.
"Good afternoon, everyone. Today is a special day as we finalize the legal aspects of your marriage future Mr. and Mrs. Smith, please take a seat."A lawyer said.
"Thank you, Lawyer. We're excited to get this done."Isabella said.
"Yes, it's been a long time coming."Michael said.
" Wonderful. Now, let's go over the marriage license."Lawyer said.
"We've read through it, and it all looks good to us."Isabella said.
"Are you sure that you don't want a thing in case of a divroce?"A lawyer asked.
"We just want to make it official. I understand my fiance's feelings about it."Michael said and smiled.
It made sense for Michael that Isabella wrote down that she didn't want a thing for him after he had nothing to offer at that moment. "Excellent. Before we proceed, do you have any questions about the document?"Lawyer asked.
"None from me."Isabella said.
"No, everything is clear."Michael said.
"Great. Please sign here, Mr. Smith, and Mrs. John. These signatures indicate your understanding and acceptance of the terms outlined in the marriage license."Lawyer said.
Both of them signed the paper and left the office.
END OF THE FLASHBACK
Michael smiled at the lawyer and nodded. It was the main reason why he arrived there in the first place. It was time for him to see his lawyer in the first place. It seems that everything going on great.
"It seems that now you have no problem at all to buy a house."Wanessa said.
"Looks like it."Michael said and left the office.
As soon as he was done with a lawyer he called a friend who had a house for sale. He found that house being a pretty decent size and what he liked about it the most was that is was close to his work. It was a pretty building so as soon as he got to take a look around he went to the real estate building to buy it.
It was a pretty good-looking house so I decided after seeing the house to go to the real estate office to buy it.
"So, this charming house just came on the market. It has a spacious backyard, perfect for your growing family."Seller said."Let's take a look at the details. If everything how you want it to be."Wanessa said."I love the open layout and the natural light in the living room. It's perfect for family gatherings."Michael said."The kitchen has been recently renovated with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops." A seller said."I have been searching for the right place for a while, and I think this might be it."Michael said."I like it too."Wanessa said and smiled.Michael nodded as he smiled back at Wanessa. He knew that bringing her to this meeting was a good idea."Agreed. Let's make an offer."Michael said."How much house will cost?"
"Around 100.000 euro."A seller said."It sounds good."Michael said."It was a good thing that all your investments are earning a lot."Wanessa said."You have no idea."Michael said and nodded.A salesman smiled and started preparing the needed paperwork."Excellent choice. I'll prepare the offer documents right away."A seller said.In an hour seller finished getting ready the paperwork.
"Alright, everything looks in order. Here are the purchase agreements and disclosures. Once you've reviewed and signed them, we'll move forward with the closing process."A seller said.As soon as the seller placed down the paperwork Wanessa and Michael checked the needed information and nodded."Everything looks great," Michael said."That's wonderful to hear. Now, if you could just initial here, here, and here..."A seller said.In a bit, Michael placed down his signature on all the needed paperwork."There, all done. It's official!"Michael said with a smile.Michael hugged Wanessa with a happy smile on his face. "Thank you."Michel said."Everything for you."Wanessa said while smiling.AT MARCH 2
