No More Mercy for My Ex

John Morgan wanted to stay in his own house as the husband who kept it, and that was the one thing his family would not let him have. Twenty years went into it. He never told his wife Eva or their three children, Mia, Alex and Amy, what he was worth, and the four of them settled on the view that he was worth nothing. In the end they put him out of the house. He went back to work. He took back the chief executive's seat at the Nexus Group, which employed Eva. At the company gala the ownership of the group was read out with him standing in the room, and everyone there heard whose name it was. Eva and Gilbert Newman, whom she had been seeing, were dismissed that night, and their names went round the trade until no firm in the city would take either of them.
