Mrs. Beatatrice has three legal options.
Megan spread documents on the table.
Option one: immediate eviction. You have 30 days to vacate the property. Mrs. Beatatrice gets her house back.
Emily paled.
Option two: full purchase. You pay Mrs. Beatatrice $136,800 within a period not exceeding 90 days. The deed is transferred. The house becomes legally yours.
Daniel shook his head.
“We don’t have that kind of money. Not even close.”
Option three, Megan said, and looked at me.
This was my idea.
The one we had discussed.
Property division and cohabitation agreement.
“What does that mean?” Daniel asked.
I took a deep breath.
This was the moment.
“It means we legally divide the house. I get 60% of the property. You get 40%, registered with the notary, with all the legal force.”
But Emily frowned, confused.
“60/40? That means—”
“It means the house will still be more in my name than yours. But you will have something. You won’t be on the street.”
