Breaking Up With The Hottest Man On Ice The Verdict and New Threat
Emma's POVForty-eight hours felt like forty-eight years.We waited in our apartment. Unable to work. Unable to think. Just waiting.Judge Santos had said she would issue her ruling within two days.Two days of hell.Every phone call made us jump. Every email notification set our hearts racing.Was this it? Was this the decision?The call finally came Tuesday morning at nine AM."Decision has been filed," Ana said. "Judge wants everyone in court at two PM to read it formally.""Can you tell us what it says?""I have not read it yet. But we will all hear it together this afternoon."Those five hours until two PM were torture.We got Alex ready. Put him in nice clothes. Tried to keep him calm even though we were falling apart inside."Is this when we find out if I stay with you?" he asked."Yes, baby. This is when the judge decides.""And you believe she will let me stay?""We hope so. We believe so. But we do not know for sure."The courthouse was packed again. Press everywhere.We pus

Back and forth. Back and forth."What if he says the wrong thing? What if he is scared? What if Margaret's pressure worked?""Alex knows what he wants. He will tell the truth.""He is eight years old. Eight. This is too much pressure for a child."She was right. But we had no choice.Judge Santos had decided Alex's voice mattered. So we had to trust him.Forty minutes felt like four hours.Finally the door opened. Ana stepped out."How did it go?" I asked immediately."I cannot tell you details. But Jake, Emma, your son is remarkable.""What did he say?""You will hear everything tomorrow when the judge rules. But I will say this. Alex knows his own mind. And he spoke it clearly."She would not tell us more. Could not. Court rules.Alex came out next. Looked tired but okay.He ran to us. Hugg
Breaking Up With The Hottest Man On Ice Emma's Testimony
Emma's POVI walked to the witness stand on shaking legs.Raised my right hand. Swore to tell the truth.Sat down facing a courtroom full of people judging me.Our lawyer questioned me first. Ana kept it simple. Straightforward."Tell the court why you left Jake eight years ago.""Margaret Sullivan threatened me. She said if I stayed, she would destroy both of us. She gave me fifty thousand dollars and told me to disappear. I was nineteen. Pregnant. Scared. So I took the money and left.""Why did you hide Alex from Jake?""Because I believed Margaret's threats. I thought I was protecting everyone. Jake from losing his family and career. Alex from growing up in a war zone. Myself from being destroyed by someone with unlimited resources.""Do you regret that decision?""Every single day.""Why did you come back?""I did not come back. Jake found me. I had been living in Portugal for eight years. Raising Alex alone. I never contacted Jake. Never asked for money. Never tried to use Alex a

Everyone stood."This is the matter of Sullivan versus Reed. Custody determination for minor child Alexander Sullivan. We will hear opening statements."Margaret's lawyer stood first. Richard Hoffman.

Commanding the room."Then eight years later, when Jake Sullivan became successful, Emma
Breaking Up With The Hottest Man On Ice Emotional Blackmail
Jake's POVThe doctor's words echoed in my head for days."Whatever is causing this stress needs to stop. Before it kills her."My mother was using her health as the ultimate weapon.Drop the custody case or she dies. And it will be my fault.My family made sure I understood that.Calls. Texts. Messages."She is your mother.""She gave you everything.""This is how you repay her?""You are going to kill her over some woman you barely know."That last one was from my brother Michael.Some woman I barely know.Emma. The mother of my children. The love of my life.Reduced to "some woman."I called my mother's doctor directly. Dr. Silva."I need to understand. Is my mother actually dying? Or is this stress she can manage?"Pause. "Mr. Sullivan, I am bound by patient privacy. But I can tell you this. Your mother is not in immediate danger. Her heart attack was minor. Treatable.

Then stopped picking up."They are blaming me," he said. "Saying I caused this by fighting her.""Did they mention the custody battle was her idea?""No. They just know she is in hospital and we are the cause.""So we are the villains again.""Always have been."Jake wanted to go to the hospital. See his mother. Make sure she was okay.I was unsure. This felt like trap."What if she uses your visit against us? Claims you are harassing her even in hospital?""She is my mother. I have to go.""Then I am coming with you.""Emma, you are supposed to be resting.""And you are supposed to not face your family alone. We are partners. I am coming."We left Alex with Sarah.
