Between Justice and Desire Chapter 92 — The Cost of Leaving
Beatrice Morgan had always believed that the most expensive part of a wedding would be the dress.She had been wrong.The dress was hanging untouched in the spare bedroom. The flowers she had carefully selected would never decorate the ceremony. The photographer's booking had been canceled, the invitations had already been sent, and the lakeside hotel where she had imagined walking down the aisle now existed only as a collection of photographs on her laptop.But the bills remained.Three days after her consultation with Axel Winchester, Bea sat at her dining table with a calculator, a notebook, and a stack of invoices spread before her.She had barely slept.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Adrian's face when he admitted the truth. Worse still, she remembered Celeste standing beside him, one hand resting protectively over her stomach.Her younger sister.The same woman who had accompanied her to wedding dress fittings and helped her compare flower arrangements.Bea pressed her
Between Justice and Desire Chapter 91- The Wedding That Never Happened
The morning began quietly at Ashford Law Firm.Sunlight streamed through the glass walls of the law firm's conference room, illuminating the neatly arranged case files on the table. Clara Ashford was reviewing a contract when Axel Winchester appeared at the doorway, holding a tablet in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other.“Are you busy?” he asked.Clara didn't look up.“I'm a lawyer, Axel. What do you think?”“I'm going to interpret that as a yes.”“That's a wise decision.”He smiled, walked over to her desk, and placed a cup of coffee beside her documents.“Your favorite. No sugar, extra milk.”Clara finally looked up, her expression softening.“Thank you.”“You're welcome, sweetheart.”He leaned down to kiss her forehead before straightening.“By the way, we have a new client coming in this morning. Her name is Beatrice Morgan, but she prefers Bea. She contacted the firm about a dispute involving a canceled wedding.”Clara raised an eyebrow.“A canceled wedding?”“Apparently,
Between Justice and Desire Chapter 90 - A Home Between Us
Morning sunlight streamed through the curtains of Clara Ashford’s bedroom, painting soft golden patterns across the floor.For the first time in years, Axel Winchester woke up in a house that wasn’t his own.Well, technically, it wasn’t his house yet.It was Clara’s.And until their future home was renovated, furnished, and ready for them to move in after the wedding, Axel had temporarily relocated to her place. His belongings had arrived the previous evening in several suitcases, two boxes of books, and one particularly heavy bag of legal documents that Clara had immediately threatened to throw out of the window if he brought it into their bedroom.He had laughed.She had not been joking.Now, Axel stood in the kitchen wearing a white T-shirt and dark lounge pants, making coffee while Clara sat at the dining table with her laptop open. Her hair was tied in a loose bun, and she wore a cream-colored cardigan over her pajamas.On the screen were several online furniture catalogs.Clara
Between Justice and Desire Chapter 89 – The Memories We Keep
The invitation came on a quiet Sunday morning.Clara Ashford was sitting at the kitchen counter, reviewing the latest wedding arrangements, when her phone rang.Axel's mother.She answered immediately.“Good morning, Mrs. Winchester.”“Good morning, sweetheart. Please, call me Margaret.”Clara smiled. Although she had met Margaret before, she still felt a little nervous whenever they spoke. There was something about the older woman's warmth that made Clara want to be liked by her, not merely accepted as the woman her son intended to marry.“Of course, Margaret. Is everything all right?”“Everything is fine, dear. I was wondering whether you'd like to spend the day with me.”“Today?”“If you're available. I thought we could visit Richard.”Clara's smile softened.Richard Winchester.Axel's father.She had heard stories about him, but she had never met him. He had died while Axel was still in college, long before Clara entered his life.“I'd love to,” she replied gently.“Wonderful. I'l
Between Justice and Desire Chapter 88 – A Home of Their Own
The first house they visited had a beautiful garden. The second had a magnificent staircase. The third had a kitchen Clara immediately fell in love with. Unfortunately, none of them was quite right. “I'm beginning to think we're looking for a palace,” Axel Winchester remarked as he drove away from their latest viewing. Clara turned toward him, clutching the property brochure in her lap. “We are looking for a house.” “With a garden.” “Yes.” “A library.” “Yes.” “Four bedrooms, potentially five.” “Two children, potentially three. I still haven't agreed to four.” “A spacious kitchen, a guest room, a home office for each of us, and parking for at least two cars.” Clara looked at him. “When you list everything like that, it sounds expensive.” “Because it is expensive.” “And you're smiling?” “Because we're buying it together.” The simple answer made her quiet. For months, they had talked about their future as something distant and beautiful. A vintage wedding, a family, a
Between Justice and Desire Chapter 87 – A Wedding Between Briefs
For the first time in months, Clara Ashford had a new priority.Her wedding.Not a billion-dollar corporation facing public disgrace. Not a complicated legal dispute that threatened to expose the darkest corners of human ambition. Not a courtroom where every word could determine someone's future.A wedding.Their wedding.Unfortunately, planning a wedding turned out to be considerably more complicated than Clara had anticipated.“Axel, why are there three different quotations for the same flower arrangement?”Axel Winchester looked up from his laptop.“Because apparently, flowers have their own legal system.”Clara stared at him.“I'm serious.”“So am I. One florist charges by the stem, another by the arrangement, and the third has a premium vintage package that costs more than my first car.”“Your first car was practically a museum exhibit.”“It was a reliable vehicle.”“It broke down twice on our first date.”“Which gave us more time together. You're welcome.”Clara threw a cushion
