From Ruin to Revenge false truce
Chapter 29“Give that back!” Josephine, who had just recovered from her shock, said, stretching out her hand in an attempt to snatch the photo from Lucas.“Your reaction shows me all I need to know,” Lucas said as he folded the paper and slipped it into his pocket. “What connection do you and Alfred have?”“There is no connection,” Josephine answered instantly, sighing. She took a deep breath in an effort to compose herself.“You know what, Lucas? You can very well keep the photo and your questions to yourself. I have no interest in keeping you engaged. Since you will be locked up all your life, you do need something to ponder, or you might lose your mind.”Scoffing, Lucas couldn’t help but clench his fist. “Now, my properties…”“Didn’t you get the memo? You will never get them again. Not ever.”“You arrogant bastard,” Josephine sneered.“I’m glad Selena finally got her justice and Violet her revenge on you, Lucas…” Josephine said.“Same here,” Lucas said, interrupting Josephine as h

Chapter 28“Mr. Lucas… Mr. Lucas, what do you have to say?” The reporters swarmed around him as Lucas was escorted by two officers into the vehicle. The media was in a frenzy.“The judge has given the verdict. Ms. Selena Brooks, ex-wife of former CEO of Wells Corporation, Lucas Wells, is free from all charges. Lucas Wells is charged not only with the murder of his father and the butler, but also with planting false evidence and framing Ms. Brooks,” one of the journalists announced into a live camera.Josephine hesitated to walk out of the courtroom. For one, she didn’t want to deal with the reporters outside.Her phone rang. She sighed, sat back down on one of the benches, and picked it up. Glancing at the caller ID, her eyes softened.Liam.She instantly answered.“Mom, I just saw the news…”“Yes, my boy. I told you I would sort everything, didn’t I?”“Listen, Mom. We need to talk.”“I know,” Josephine said in a low voice. “But not now. Let’s meet later tonight.” She ended the call b

Chapter 27“I can’t wait for you to be out,” Violet said softly to her mother, who sat opposite her.“Me too, Violet. After all these years, I’m finally going to be free,” Selena replied, tears streaming down her face. They had received the news of the evidence that could change Selena fate a few days ago, and even now it still felt unreal.She shook her head in disbelief. “I still can’t believe Lucas had the guts to kill his own father. To what extent is he willing to go?”“Honestly, Mom, I can believe it,” Violet said, her voice tight as she remembered the day he had accused her mother on live television.“Vio… I’m so happy,” Selena whispered, her smile trembling beneath her tears.“Me too, Mom,” Violet replied, reaching across the table to squeeze her hand.***Lucas stepped out of the car, his chest heavy. Today, his fate would be decided.He stood still for a moment in front of the courthouse, simply staring at the building as a storm of emotions churned inside him.Then, the bli

Chapter 26Lucas paced in the cell, visibly angry and confused. He had no idea what evidence they found, but one thing he was sure of was that he was being framed.What annoyed him most was that he still hadn’t gotten a hold of John.“Is this all Violet’s doing?” he mumbled to himself. “Of course, it’s hers, using me as a sacrificial lamb to free that bitch of a mother.”He laughed, but pain laced his laughter.“You better hope your plan works, Violet,” he said, staring into thin air, his eyes as dark as they could be. “Because if it doesn’t…” he paused, his voice dropping to a low growl, “…I will just have to show you how monstrous I can be.”***The next morning, Lucas sat on the edge of his cot, staring at the wall. He was still confused and angry. He hadn’t slept last night. How could he, when the walls were closing in on him?“Mr. Lucas,” a guard said, opening the cell door slightly. “You have a visitor.”Lucas’s head shot up. “Visitor?” he mumbled as he got to his feet.Inside t

Chapter 25Hailey stared, bewildered, at the woman standing before her and her boss.She looked exactly like the picture Hailey had once seen in Alex’s office.'She hadn’t aged a bit, how was that even possible?' Hailey thought.Hailey’s eyes flickered to Alex. His expression was anything but blank, and relief washed over her. Thank God, she thought. I was beginning to think he was broken, that he didn’t feel anything at all.The woman’s hands trembled, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.“Alex…” she whispered, uncertain whether to step closer or stay still.The shock on Alex’s face had already shifted, hardening into pure anger.“You’re Alex’s mother?” Hailey blurted, unable to stop herself.The woman’s tearful eyes moved to her, and she gave a small nod.“Alex,” she called again, taking a cautious step forward, holding her breath.“Don’t you dare take another step.”Alex’s voice thundered through the room, cold and sharp. The sheer force of it made Hailey flinch where she stood.“W

Chapter 24 Lucas walked down the stairs, his face etched with confusion. What could Josephine and Alfred possibly have that warranted them taking a picture together? he wondered. He sighed, regaining himself as he saw Leo walking into the mansion. “Sir,” Leo said, standing before Lucas. “All is ready and we are good to go.” Lucas, who still had the picture of Josephine and Alfred, folded it carefully and slipped it into his pocket. He bent down, picked up the small bag filled with everything he could salvage from Josephine, and straightened up. Closing his eyes, he tried to shut out the noise in his head. Too many voices ran through his mind, but he forced himself to focus, there was a mission at hand. “Let’s go,” he said to Leo. As they approached the door, the wail of sirens caught them from afar, drawing closer by the second. “Sir… I think it’s the...” “The police,” Lucas finished for him. Leo nodded in agreement. Lucas sighed. “Ahhh. When I thought the day couldn’t get
