Arthur clutched his reddening cheek, his eyes wide with a dangerous mixture of shock and fury. He stared at his wife as if seeing her for the first time. "Have you lost your mind?" he hissed, his voice dropping to a menacing growl. "You think a dramatic outburst changes anything? The contracts are signed. The buyers have already wired the non-refundable deposit. By tomorrow morning, the deed transfer will be processed, and there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop it."

He stepped closer, trying to reclaim his dominant posture, but Katherine did not flinch. She stood her ground, her gaze steady and cold. "You always underestimated me, Arthur. You thought because I grew up in privilege, I was fragile. But my father taught me how to protect what is ours."

She reached into the pocket of her gown and pulled out her phone, displaying a screen that showed an active, outgoing email. "The buyers you sold this house to are a prominent historical preservation trust. Do you think they want the public relations nightmare of purchasing a stolen estate from a man who forged his wife's signature? I sent them the original deed, my father's will, and a copy of the forged signature alongside my official handwriting analysis."

"You didn't," Arthur gasped, his face losing all of its color as the reality of his situation began to sink in. "If they pull out now, the penalty fees will ruin me!"

"Oh, it gets worse," Katherine said, a grim smile finally touching her lips. "I also sent the same files to the district attorney's office. And since you used our joint accounts to launder the initial deposit, they are looking into your entire financial history. The police are already on their way, Arthur. Your little empire is built on sand, and the tide has just come in."
