• After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 26

  Lenora’s POV:I stormed into the house. “F!ck!!” I roared as I flung my bag across the room.“She won again. She freaking won again, like she always does!!” I seethed with the anger hot in my head, boiling in my veins. I felt like I could literally murder someone, and I knew exactly who my target would be…Hannah.Everything had been perfect before she showed up in Hayes's life. Hayes used to love me; he adored me more than anything in this world, and that love had only increased as we grew up. Growing up with Hayes, I always knew he was the man destined for me. He was the one fate had chosen and curated perfectly for me—my soulmate, my other half.Ever since I was a little girl, I had pictured it: me in a white, flowing wedding gown and beside me, Hayes, in black, standing handsomely and complementing my dress. We would have three kids, a boy that takes after him, and two little angels that would be a replica of me.It was all perfect. All planned out in my head.Until Hannah.She s

  Hannah’s POV:Lies never hold still for long. When light cuts through the constructed walls of lies, the structure crumbles, the mask falls off, and the truth is laid bare. Nothing is hidden under the sun.And the thing with lies is that they are infectious for the ones who tell them; they spread like poisonous vines. They find themselves building up more lies to cover up for their previous lies. But it gets to a point when the dam fills up so much it begins to pour out, all the lies flooding out in all their sinful glory.Today was one of those days when the dam of lies pours out and the light cuts through its thick constructed walls.The courtroom was drenched in loud silence, the tension palpable in the air; you could almost taste it on your tongue. The warm lighting of the room cast a light shadow on the judge's face, who looked like he was in his late forties. His slant eyes hidden behind round glasses whispered years of experience in his field.I was seated in the defendants sec

  Hannah’s POV:Josh looked at me like I had just declared we launched WWIII. His face was doe-eyed, his face had visibly gotten paler, and there was still a dribble of coffee droplets on his chin.He blinked himself out of oblivion. “You can’t possibly be serious!” He said in disbelief.I just looked at him, my expression calm but serious. I wasn’t joking.“Hannah! Stop!!” He gasped, his hands covering his mouth in stunned amusement as he realized I was being a hundred percent serious.He shook his head. “But that is madness! Just purely insane.” His legs were starting to wobble, and he sat back down, pushing the coffee cup a short distance away before folding his hands together. “So let me get this straight. You want someone to remind Lenora that she could sue you and ask for a huge amount for compensation?”“Yes,” I said simply.He burst into a deranged laugh. His head fell backwards before he brought it back forward, and his expression changed. “Are you burning up? Perhaps the whol

  Hannah’s POV:My mouth went dry, the metal glass of the phone still pressed against my ear. “What do you mean revoke my spot from the competition?” I asked.I heard Josh’s heavy breathing from the other end, like he was trying to process something that shouldn’t be happening in the first place. “It’s the news, Hannah; it has spread like an infectious vine.” He paused. “These lies they’re spreading about you, are you okay? This must be intense for you.”Intense wouldn’t be the word I would use to describe what I was feeling right now. It would be something around ‘expected.’ I had expected this kind of feigned plot from Lenora. This playing the victim act was her logo, and she wore it like it was a badge of honor. The second word I would use to describe how I was feeling would be ‘unimpressed.’ I was unimpressed that Lenora chose to be this predictable and play this blaming game.Josh’s voice sounded through when he didn’t hear me respond. “I’ll be back in town tomorrow; let’s meet up

  Hannah’s POV:Their eyes scanned me from head to toe, like you would a designer bag at a pop-up store, trying to find faults in its authenticity. I didn’t waver, I didn’t flinch, and I didn’t move.Let them look till their disbelief dissolves like morning dew.They broke into a loud chatter, each voice tripping over the other as they questioned, still not believing what I had said. “It is your face that is on TV.”“Do you think lying would get you out of this?”“A wolf can never hide behind sheep’s clothing for long. It’s too late for you; you’re exposed now.”They all voiced out.Adam’s hand rested on my shoulder, an act to remind me that he was there as a source of support for me through it all. He was there, and he was never leaving.I raised my hand up, they hushed, and their eyes followed my hand. I shook my wrist, causing the hospital tag wristband to wiggle. “Look at the name. I’m not his wife.”Not anymore.I pushed my hand forward, allowing them to see the name written on the

  Hannah’s POV:My eyes widened, and the boy’s statement replayed in loops in my head like a broken record. What does he mean by ‘beat up your husband’? Where could he have heard that from?Like the room could sense my confusion. I heard the newscaster on the TV in the patient’s waiting room across from me. I took a step closer to get a proper view of the headline and to hear what the woman broadcasting was saying.“Breaking news! A young CEO has been hospitalized after being attacked by his own wife.” The woman in the black suit and round glasses read out on the screen. Cue in was a clip of Hayes being rushed out of an ambulance and into a hospital. Inserted at the top left corner of the screen was a picture of her.“The vicious attacker is the woman on the screen right now. The news has quickly gained traction, with the public sympathizing with the husband and calling for justice,” she went on, her voice maintaining a curated tone. “This has also raised more awareness of male domesti
