Divorced, But Taken By My Ex’s Uncle For Revenge 131 | ELARA ELLIS
I stare at Adrian blankly.My brain is still trying to process what he just said, but it seems too slow right now. Plus the fact that out of all the things I expected after today, this wasn't one of them.The hallway behind us is still crowded. From the corner of my eyes, I can see a few people pretending not to stare. I can also feel Nathaniel’s gaze on me from where he’s standing with Laurent. At first, I consider saying no to Adrian. Because what exactly do I want to talk about with him?That I’m happy I won the case? Or that we should come back together now that he’s separated from his lover and that Nathaniel and I might go our own ways soon?I swallow. Then, I ask, “talk about what?”Adrian's gaze doesn't leave mine when he responds. “Theo."Of course.I look away briefly towards Nathaniel who is still staring at me intensely, then back at him. I nod. “Only five minutes.”I watch as Adrian’s shoulder loosens slightly before he nods. “Thank you.”Just as he begins to move furth

"This court finds that primary physical custody of Theo Blake shall be awarded to the applicant, Mrs Elara Ellis."The moment the words are out of the judge’s mouth, everything around me fades away, and I swear, I forget how to breathe. I watch as her mouth moves, listening as she talks about visitation, parental rights, schedules, and conditions.But none of them register in my mind. Not only because it feels unreal, but because the only thing repeating in my head is Theo. And the fact that I got him. At the thought of that, my eyes sting with tears, and I blink it back, turning my attention to Laurent. He has a look of victory on his face as he quietly closes his file, proud of what he just did. I look towards Adrian too, swallowing when I see how bunched in defeat his shoulders are, his figure still rooted in place. I’m jolted back to reality by the sound of the judge’a voice again. "This matter is concluded. Court is adjourned."The gavel comes down, and the room erupts in

Once Laurent asks the question, Vivienne hesitates. I see it in the way a lone sweat trails down her forehead and she swallows, quiet panic obvious in her eyes that she has no answer for that.And that’s because her lies have come to an end. Unexpectedly though, she swallows and lies again, “I was angry.”I don’t realize when I lift a brow. Angry? A laugh almost escapes me, but I manage to hold in back. This woman must think we’re fools. The audacity to even face the court and lie is enough of an embarrassment.Laurent, on the other hand, shows no reaction to what she just said. The judge doesn’t too. And she takes that as an indication to continue. "I felt that people were trying to take Theo away from me.""People,” Laurent repeats. She nods. “Yes.""Who specifically?"Her eyes flick toward me briefly for just a second, but she looks away immediately before answering. “I don’t remember exactly what I meant at the time."I expect Laurent to finally call her out on the lie but h

The courtroom doesn’t feel the same way it did earlier when we return back inside. It’s not about the noise and chaos as everyone settles down, and neither is it about how I feel mixed with the anxiety of how this might end. It’s just about the whole vibe of the place. It’s like everyone has seen something they weren't supposed to see and now doesn't quite know where to look.Pushing the thoughts away, I take my seat beside Nathaniel who leans down and drops a small kiss to the side of my head. The action sends warmth through my chest, and I look up at him, my lips curving into a forced smile that doesn’t reach my eyes. When he smiles back at me, I turn my attention towards where Adrian, his lawyer, Karen, and Vivienne are now seated, looking uncomfortable and out of place. Vivienne is seated beside Adrian, but he isn’t acknowledging her. Even when she leans in to say something to him quietly, he doesn’t say anything or even look like he’s being spoken to. And even when she rea

The second the judge calls for recess, the courtroom comes alive again. People rise from their seats, lawyers gather files, and voices begin to fill the room with chaos as the crowd leaves. Beside me, Elara stands up, and I look at her, a brow lifting. She looks at me. “Excuse me,” she says. “I need to use the bathroom.”Once I nod, she takes that as an indication to leave. Only when she walks out of the courtroom do I look away from her towards the now empty judge’s seat, my jaw clenching. I know she’s not just using the bathroom for using sake. She’s probably going to bawl out her eyes there. I’m tempted to follow her just to make sure she’s okay, but a small voice at the back of my mind says not to, to give her privacy.Reluctantly, I remain where I am. Before I can stop myself, I look towards Adrian’s side of the courtroom to find him still seated there, his attention fixed on the space where the projector has gone blank. The footage might be over, but it’s clear the damage

“This court is not being asked to erase anything,” is the first thing Laurent says the moment Adrian’s lawyer keeps quiet. He steps forward so he’s now closer to the judge. “It is only being asked to weigh safety.” Silence follows, and he continues. “And I would remind the court that custody is not awarded based on duration of care alone.”From the corner of my eyes, I see Adrian try to stand up, ready to defend himself, but Vivienne grabs his arm immediately, forcing him to sit. My attention is now on them, and though I can’t hear what she’s saying because of the distance between us, I can tell she’s trying to calm him. As if he can feel my attention, his gaze drifts towards me, now filled with malice before he turns again with a quiet scoff. I turn too, just as Laurent says, “custody is awarded based on the ability to prevent harm.”The judge nods, her pen paused in her hand as she listens to him attentively. “And look, when harm has already occurred once in a child’s primary e

“Adrian has been granted bail.”The moment the words reach my ears, I freeze for a second, the kitchen cabinet door staying open in my hand. At first, I don’t turn. I just stand there, staring at the row of mugs like I’ve forgotten what I came here for.Then I do.The movement is too quick that my

I can’t take my eyes off Nathaniel. His hands are slipped into his pants pockets, his calm gaze fixed on Adrian, and before any of us can say a word, he begins to walk toward us slowly.The moment he stops right beside me, the warmth from his figure making the air feel suddenly heavy, he meets Adr

The elevator is quiet. It’s not that empty kind of quietness, but rather the type that presses in uncomfortably, settles under your skin, and makes you aware of things you would rather ignore. Like how close to me Nathaniel Hale Monroe is standing. He’s not touching me though, but he’s not standi

The station feels colder than I expect it to be. Not only in temperature, but also in feeling. It’s obvious that in a place like this, you have no one to save you, and the chilling, frightening atmosphere of the building is a proof of that. It’s late in the evening, and just as the lawyer said ea
