Goldman & Berawitz Firm
Ashley Nichols had been on quite the war path since learning that Giovanni Aries was appealing the ruling on his visitation rights. She couldn't believe the best lawyer firm had no answer on how to deny the appeal. She couldn't let Giovanni win. She couldn't let him have the last laugh. It was his doings that made the marriage crumble. It was his infidelity with her best friend that finally broke the camels back. From that point out she had sworn to make his life a living hell. Yet as of late it seemed every thing she did wasn't getting to him. Now he had a chance to get back rights to their daughter? Something had to change....
-= Private Discussions =-
A couple weeks had passed since the court date was set. It had been a couple weeks since she got in to it with Giovanni and his lawyer. Though what was more troubling to Ashley Nichols was it had been a couple of weeks since she had heard from her lawyers. Today though she was tired of waiting. She decided to confront them and see if they had anyway of winning the appeal.
She entered the firm of Goldman & Beratwitz as she stormed straight toward the elevator as she pressed the up button to get to their offices. The doors opened as she stepped in and press the top floor button. She had a serious look on her face as she stared straight ahead as she finally reached the top floor and the doors opened. She walked straight pass the receptionist desk toward the doors as the receptionist chased behind her.
The Receptionist: You have got to have an appointment
Ashley Nichols: Get out of my way.
Ashley Nichols shoves the receptionist out of the way as she opens the door as we see two desk with two older men sitting their as they both look up as Max Goldman speaks.
Max Goldman: Ah Ms. Nichols nice to see you.
Ashley Nichols: Yeah yeah....so have you two made any head way on my case?
Jerry Berawitz: Ms. Nichols we told you this appeal is going to be hard to overturn.
Ashley Nichols: You two are the best in the city can't you come up with something?
Max Goldman: Well when you leave the kid with him, it makes the defense that he is an competent parent almost impossible.
Ashley Nichols: So what now?
Max Goldman: We aren't sure.
Ashley Nichols: That is just great. I pay you all this money for you know nothing?
Jerry Berawitz: Well there is one way.
Ashley Nichols eyes light up as looks at Jerry Berawitz.
Ashley Nichols: Yes?
Jerry Berawitz: Well you need to get evidence that he is a liability.
Ashley Nichols: Like photos and stuff?
Max Goldman: Yes that would help.
Ashley Nichols: Alright so you know anyone?
Jerry Berawitz: Well there is this private investigator Steve Billocks. He is consider the best in the city.
Ashley Nichols: Great can I have his number?
Jerry Berawitz then pulled open his desk drawer as shuffled through some business cards till he found Steve Billocks as he handed her the card. She then placed the card in her purse.
Ashley Nichols: Thank you.
With that said, Ashley Nichols turned around and exited the room as she walked toward the elevator. The receptionist gave her a evil look as Ashley Nichols entered the elevator as she exited the firm.

Ashley Nichols Residence
Ashley Nichols finished fixing her daughter Ariel a glass of grape juice as Ariel went into the living room to finish watching Dora The Explorer. Ashley Nichols stood in the door way as she looked at her daughter.
Ashley Nichols: Don't worry my baby girl, your father won't interfere in your life after I am done with him. I promise you this. You won't have to deal with the cheating son of a bitch. That fucking asshole.
Ashley Nichols then walked back into the kitchen toward her purse. She then proceeded to dig in her purse as she pulled out the card of Private Investigator Steve Billocks. She then picked up the phone and began to dial the number. The phone rang a couple of times then someone answered.
Steve Billocks: Hello, Steve Billocks private investigator.
Ashley Nichols: Yes, I need your help with my ex-husband.
Steve Billocks: What do you need found out?
Ashley Nichols: I need you to prove that fucking asshole isn't a competent parent ,so he doesn't get his visitation rights back to our daughter.
Steve Billocks: Okay first off I need his name.
Ashley Nichols: Giovanni Aries.
Steve Billocks: Right now I will run background check which should be done by the end of the day and next we need to set up a meeting tomorrow.
Ashley Nichols: Anytime is fine by me.
Steve Billocks: Around noon then?
Ashley Nichols: Okay sounds good.
Steve Billocks: So where do you want to meet?
Ashley Nichols: The Little Italian Bistro?
Steve Billocks: Okay then.
Ashley Nichols: Thank you.
Steve Billocks: Now if you don't mind I need to get back to my other case.
Ashley Nichols: Alright.
With that Ashley Nichols hung up the phone as a smile crept up on her face. She knew that it was only a matter of time before Giovanni Aries slipped up. She knew now that she would be there to catch it. She walked out of the kitchen as she looked at her daughter. She knew that Giovanni wasn't going to ever see his daughter again. That is as long as she had a say in the matter...
