Speaker A
wouldn't stop until she was barely conscious. More than once, she fled to her parents' house in the dead of night, but they thought she was overreacting. They turned her away at the door and called her husband to come
Speaker A
pick her up. Worse still, every time she tried to document the abuse, her husband found the evidence first and destroyed it. She had filed for divorce multiple times, but every single time the evidence section of her case
Speaker A
came up empty. Then one day, in the courthouse bathroom, a law intern named Lena noticed her. She saw the wife flinch at the sight of a running faucet and noticed the bald patches from years of having her hair yanked. But
Speaker A
Lena was in an impossible position. She had been hired by the husband's side. She had uncovered the truth and could do absolutely nothing about it. The wife said something quietly that Lena couldn't shake. People with money and
Speaker A
power can always afford better lawyers than their victims. Lena had just graduated. She ran after the client anyway. The husband dropped all pretense on the spot, denied accusation of abuse, and tore into Lena for forgetting where her professional
Speaker A
obligations lay. Shortly after, the husband called demanding a new attorney. Jack brought in Ellie, a seasoned lawyer, to step in alongside Lena and take over the case. Ellie didn't really have a choice. The only reason she hadn't been fired yet was
Speaker A
that Jack had bought her time by offering his boss, his own biological father, the prospect of inheriting the firm. Seeing them arrive together, the husband wasn't happy. But the first mediation session was that afternoon,
Speaker A
so he had no choice but to let it go. Then came the surprise no one saw coming. The wife who had never been able to produce a single piece of evidence suddenly turned up with a shattered phone she had found. On it was a surviving audio recording that captured
Speaker A
her screaming as she was being dragged. The husband had an explanation ready. He had paid for expensive swimming lessons to help her get over her phobia, and her screaming was simply a misunderstanding of his good intentions.
Speaker A
The wife broke down in the middle of the session. This was the only evidence she had ever been able to find.
