Despised By My Billionaire Husband CHAPTER 50
“Exactly,” Marcus countered, leaning forward. “And that is why your case is a graveyard. Those two attorneys are senior partners at Ideal Law Firm They are the ‘Lions of the Bar.’ If we go before a judge and claim they participated in a Bait and Switch, we aren't just accusing Aldwin of fraud; we are accusing two of the most powerful legal minds in this city, of professional suicide. Without the initial physical draft as proof of the swap, their testimony will be a coordinated shield. They will say you read every word. They will say you smiled when you signed.”“He actually asked if I had properly read the terms, and agreed to the conditions stated.”“Who asked?” Marcus scribbled something on a notepad.“Mr. Brookes.”“Attorney Brookes?” He raised an eyebrow.“Yes. That was right before he initiated the signing.”“And you said yes.”“Yes. I had no idea there was a hidden condition.” I slapped my forehead in regret.“Take it easy. Don’t be too hard on yourself.”I felt the walls of the
Despised By My Billionaire Husband CHAPTER 49 - A Costly Mistake
Ralph had been on my mind since last night. That was new. I never would have imagined he could have such an effect on me. Contrary to what I expected, Aldwin wasn't bothered about where I’d gone without Matthew. Matthew always reported the places he drove me to. Asking him to take the entire day off yesterday should have raised questions, but Aldwin was unusually calm. He’d been home, then left for work the next morning, just like every other day. I liked it. Matthew arrived earlier than usual. We drove to Midtown. Marcus had given me a sliver of hope when I spoke with him two nights ago. Lately, I clung to anything that even resembled hope. The attorney my mom had contacted me with had told me outright that it was a hopeless fight. Marcus told me what I wanted to hear, even if it might not be worth holding onto.I couldn't wait to speak with him. I would give anything to be free of Aldwin's web. The mahogany door sighed as I pushed it open. I peered into the office, scanning the

I stepped out the moment I saw him.Wow. This wasn't the Ralph I remembered. He looked even more handsome than the last time I had seen him. His beard was well-groomed and he’d filled out—muscular, the athletic kind of build. Who is this and what have you done to my friend? I was left wordless. He stared at me with new eyes.“Damn, Ralph. You look…hot. What in the transformation happened to you?” I covered my mouth, eyes wide in disbelief. “I'm so glad I get to see you again.” I hugged him, wrapping my arms around him tightly. I felt his abs—thick like a wall. “I only ever imagined this. I never thought it would actually happen. I'm so sorry, Ralph, I know I…”“Kora… Kora. No. Don't.” He cut in with a friendly pat on my back, then pulled away. “Enough with the sorry talks. Let's go inside.” He glanced at my car once more.“I was in a meeting when you arrived, that's why I couldn't take your calls.”“It's alright. How's work?”“Better. I don't work at that company anymore.” There

Matthew drove to Midtown. If Vance and Associates wouldn't take my case, then there were other competitive law firms I could try. “Hi.” I smiled at the pretty receptionist.“How can I be of help?” “I’m here to speak with a family law attorney.”“Do you have an appointment?”“I don't.”“Okay,” her voice cracked. “What's your name?” She clicked the mouse, her eyes fixed on the screen.“I'm Kora Ellison.” She paused, slowly lifting her eyes to my face. Then back to the screen. That didn't look good. Good thing I was still wearing the shades Matthew had given me.“I'm sorry, but our firm isn't interested in discussing any concerns you might have,” she replied, after a few seconds.“What do you mean?” I was confused.“You can try other places. None of our lawyers are available at the moment.”I left, not wanting to ask further questions. I went to another firm and got the same response. After about five days of checking other firms, with the same reply, I stopped. I had a strong convi

“Aldwin, I'm tired.”“That, you don't have a right to. You don't get to want out.”The words sounded heavy in my ears. I managed a daring smile.“This isn't the ‘80s. The world has evolved. I can walk away from a marriage that no longer favours me—sorry, that has never favoured me. I don't feel…loved, or wanted. I'm just here for whenever you want to fuck!” Aldwin let out a hysterical laugh. Why was that funny?“What's so funny?” I asked.“You don't get to leave. Not unless I say so.”“Says who?”He smiled. “Says the contract you signed.”“I read the contract. There was nothing like that.” I shot back.He walked to his desk, opened a drawer, and pulled out a leather document holder. He slammed it on the table.“Have a look then.” He motioned towards the document.I walked over to his desk, took out the document, and scanned the signed pages.“Let me help you with that.” Aldwin flipped through the pages and stopped at the second-to-last one.“Here,” he said pointing at my signature. “

Immediately Sarah dropped the call, she called her secretary.“I scheduled a meeting with Kora Ellison for ten tomorrow morning. Cancel it. Take it off my calendar.” She turned to leave.“Ma'am, what if she insists?”Sarah stopped, and looked back. “I cancelled it. Simple. It shouldn't bother you.”“But ma'am…”“No buts, Anita. Just do as you're told, let me handle Kora. She's my problem not yours.” She walked away.Anita grumbled under her breath, heaving a resigned sigh. She had been hoping to get a scoop regarding my appointment, probably to sell it to the media. Sarah Vance was a competent divorce lawyer, so my scheduled meeting with her sparked guesses.*** (Vance and Associates)We pulled into the public parking lot as we reached Vance and Associates. Matthew followed closely behind me as I headed for Ms Vance’s office on the fifth floor. My heart skipped the moment the elevator bell chimed. I wondered why.We stepped out. “Good morning, I’m Kora Ellison. I have an appointme
