Divorce Battle; First Court Hearing

~Three Days Later~

The courtroom was thick with tension, the air so heavy it seemed to muffle the faint murmurs from the small gathering of spectators.

Olivia sat at one end of the polished wooden table, her designer suit tailored to perfection. Despite her flawless appearance, her narrowed eyes and stiff posture betrayed her simmering anger.

Across from her sat Owen, his sharp jaw clenched, his dark suit reflecting his sombre mood. His lawyer whispered something to him, but his focus was locked on Olivia, a blend of disgust and defiance in his gaze.

The judge, a stern-faced woman in her mid-fifties with salt-and-pepper hair, adjusted her glasses and struck the gavel.

"This court is now in session. The case of Olivia Swift versus Owen Scott will proceed. Both parties are reminded to remain respectful and let the lawyers present their cases without interruptions. Any verbal confrontation will not be tolerated."
