Margo's Got Money Troubles

Chapter Twenty-Five
Overview
Margo confronts Mark at his lavish home and learns his custody push stemmed from Sarah discovering Bodhi after Jinx’s call and Larry’s advice. Mark concedes Margo should have custody and asks to meet Bodhi. Spurred by a late-night epiphany, Margo enlists Ward to compile legal precedents defending her OnlyFans, preparing to face CPS. Jinx secures a nearby rental, while Margo resolves to act from love and determination.
Summary
Margo visits Mark’s unexpectedly lavish property and finds his guesthouse in disarray. They speak privately; Margo demands clarity on his goals. Mark explains the chain reaction: Jinx’s erratic calls exposed Bodhi to Sarah, whose outrage, combined with lawyer Larry’s advice, propelled Mark toward seeking custody.
Margo presses about OnlyFans and custody. Mark admits watching her Rigoberto video and, after seeing Dr. Sharp’s report and Margo’s poise in mediation, agrees not to pursue full custody and asks to meet Bodhi. Margo urges direct communication going forward.
That night, facing her CPS binder and a hated real estate plan, Margo recognizes her fear of bureaucratic power. A burst of resolve—framed by a humorous Ric Flair “vision”—pushes her to research legal treatment of cam sites and OnlyFans.
Margo calls Ward and proposes a strategy: compile authoritative precedents showing courts haven’t penalized mothers for cam work, and scrutinize Maribel’s entry language. Despite cost concerns, Ward agrees; they plan and prepare updated materials in Margo’s binder.
Over the next week, Margo waits tensely for CPS. Jinx rents a nearby house with a pool, offering proximity and healthier boundaries. Margo reflects on JB and Shyanne, wanting eventual peace with her mother. Nursing Bodhi, she reframes love as an inner, sustaining force and imagines that strength fortifying her family.
