Prologue

Merlin sat at her desk in her office listening as her secretary Gwen explained the case to her.

"Oliver Moore, 42, wants a divorce from his wife, Katherine Moore, 38, on claims of adultery."

Merlin nodded.

"And which of the lucky two are we representing?"

"The Husband, he was the one that claimed his wife was having an affair and that he wanted a divorce from her."

"What does the wife feel about this?"

"The wife has accepted the divorce, but is not very happy about it, she has claimed she has not had an affair."

"What does the wife want from the divorce?"

"Half of everything he owns, minimum."

Merlin breathed in through her teeth.

"Well, she doesn't want much, kids?"

"3, 2 Sons, Jack, 9, Samuel, 3 and one daughter Chelsea, 5."

"How long have the two been married, I take it longer than nine years?"

"Ten."

"Hmm, Gwen could you bring in Mr. Moore, please?"

Gwen nodded and exited the room and then came back in a few minutes later with Mr. Moore. He was a tall man, with combed back brown hair, wearing a grey suit.

"Mr. Moore, please, take a seat."

Merlin pointed to the seat in front of her desk and he sat. Merlin shuffled a few pieces of paper on her desk before placing her hands on the papers.

"So, Mr. Moore…"

"Mr. Pendragon, Mrs. Moore is here to see you."

Arthur put down the pen he was currently writing with and pressed a button on the phone to reply.

"Thank you Morgana, send her in."

A few seconds later a tall, slim woman, with shoulder length bleach blonde hair walked in, her face coated in make up. Her skirt was several inches above her knees, barley decent and a jacket that showed off far to much cleavage.

Arthur sighed, it was going to be very hard to prove this woman innocent of being an adulterer if she dressed like a posh prostitute.

The woman sat on the sofa by the window, crossing her legs, and Arthur was shown more than needed, the woman obviously wore no underwear. He stood up from his desk, collecting a few sheets of paper, and then stood in front of Mrs. Moore.

"Mrs. Moore."

"Katherine…"

Her voice was low and seductive. He coughed and carried on.

"Your husband had filed for a divorce, claiming you had an affair."

"Yes."

"How do you…feel, about this?"

"Well, I have had an affair…"

"Just one?"

"No, four."

Arthur rolled his eyes.

"There's only one way your going to get your money Mrs. Moore."

"Katherine."

"Katherine, the only way you are going to get something out of this divorce is if we lie."

"But that isn't right…"

Says the adulterer…

"Katherine, would you rather tell the truth and be left with near to nothing, or tell a few little lies and have millions of pounds in your pocket."

Katherine looked around the room for a minute before looking back at Arthur.

"I'm ready to lie Mr. Pendragon."
