Her Exodus, His Regret. 112. Not Good Enough
112. Not Good Enough “Order in the court!”The clerk's voice rang through the room, and the murmuring stopped.The judge adjusted his glasses and glanced through the documents before him.“I have reviewed the initial filings. Both parties will be given time to prepare their evidence and complete the necessary paperwork before this case proceeds.”He looked at the lawyers on either side.“This matter is adjourned until next week. Ensure that all required documents are ready by then.”He struck his gavel.“Court is adjourned.”Dahlia let out a quiet breath as everyone began to rise. She had expected that the case wouldn't be settled in one sitting, but what bugged her was the fact that it hadn't lasted even thirty minutes.She didn't need to think too deeply to understand.She already knew.Liam.Across the room, Sasha stood with her lawyer, her expression difficult to read.Their eyes met.“We'll see each other next week,” Sasha said.Dahlia slipped her documents into her bag. “I'm co
Her Exodus, His Regret. 111. Isn't It Time To Let Go…?
111. Isn't It Time To Let Go…?The sleek black car pulled to a quiet halt in front of Sasha's house. Liam killed the engine almost immediately and stared straight through the windshield.Sasha didn't get down. She sat there, clutching her bag as though that would somehow make things disappear or maybe turn out differently.Silence settled for a few minutes.“Three days,” Sasha said, her voice close to a whisper.Liam heard her but didn't turn to look at her.“The court says three days,” Sasha continued. “What kind of court conducts a hearing that fast?”Liam arched a brow. “It's easy. Probably the urgency of things. My brother hates dragging things out, and the same goes for Dahlia.” He paused. “Don't you think that if it were possible, that hearing would have been today?”Sasha's hand tightened around her bag. “You're giving them too much credit.”“But that's the truth. I could do it. You could also do it. And besides, given how hard we made things for them, this is already very leni
Her Exodus, His Regret. 110. A Little Closer....
110. A Little Closer....Sasha couldn't tell how long she had stayed in that same position after calling Liam. At some point, she had stopped crying and only whimpered. And then, at some point, she had stopped crying entirely.The conference room was now enveloped in silence, the kind that carried a lot of heavy things in it. Heavy things that didn't need to be pointed out. They were just there. You just had to know it.However, the next moment, the door opened and someone walked in.Sasha didn't turn her head to look at the person. She already knew.Liam.She kept her face straight, looking at something insignificant at the far end of the desk.She didn't want to look at him. Because, for some reason, she was afraid that if she turned to look, she might end up crying again.She didn't want to.“Sasha,” Liam called her name.Sasha's fists bunched the dress on her lap. Her lashes trembled. She tried to find the words to say something to him, but it seemed as though her voice had disapp
Her Exodus, His Regret. Chapter 109: They All Left…
Chapter 109: They All Left…DAH GlobalGaux walked in a few minutes later and found Dahlia seated at her desk, looking out over the city through the glass wall of her office.She heaved a small sigh and approached the desk."Miss Winters," she called.Dahlia swirled around in her chair to face her, a soft smile resting on her lips."Is everything ready for the meeting?""Yes, Miss.""Good. Have our PR team release a statement. Use the right headlines. Nothing too lengthy, just enough to let Vale Enterprises know that the game is on.""Okay, Miss."Gaux began scribbling something on the notepad in her hand."Also, make sure we publish the names of those board members who left the company."Gaux arched a brow. "But, Miss Winters, I thought we already did that.""Of course we did, but that was for DAH Global and the Winters company. I'm talking globally. Publish their names alongside the reasons for their departure and the allegations against them. Use a strong headline."Gaux paused, he
Her Exodus, His Regret. 108. The Last Shred of Dignity…
108. The Last Shred of Dignity…Liam sat in his car for a while after leaving Dahlia's office. His head rested against the headrest, one hand placed quietly on the steering wheel.He had walked into her office that morning knowing fully well that it was a futile effort, but he had still gone in with that small strand of hope within him.But she had said no.In the most polite yet cruelest way possible.She had served him coffee. Sweet coffee.For a moment, his mind drifted to that morning in the hospital. He had brought two cups of her favourite coffee with him. He remembered the look on her face when he told her what he had brought.But she hadn't drunk it.He heaved a deep sigh and reached for the ignition. He turned the key, and the car purred to life.It didn't matter if Dahlia wanted to do whatever she wanted. He wouldn't stop her. But Sasha wouldn't be going to prison either.If worse came to worst…~~~Sasha's fingers tightened around the folder in her hand as she stared at the
Her Exodus, His Regret. 107. A Cup Of Memories
107. A Cup Of MemoriesLiam arrived at DAH Global by eight o'clock the next morning. He was dressed in dark green sweatpants and a matching sweatshirt, paired with sneakers, looking as laid-back as ever. However, the tension around his eyes showed how much the situation was getting to him, even if he tried to deny it.He arrived in front of the executive office and took a seat on the lobby chair outside. He threw his head back against the wall and slowly shut his eyes.His mind drifted quietly to his conversation with Lucien the previous night.Lucien had said something. That he was protecting Sasha.Was he doing that? Really?His hands tightened on his lap at the thought.He just didn't want her to end up in prison. No matter what happened, it didn't matter if Vale Enterprises took the hit. But Sasha shouldn't end up behind bars.He knew what she had done. He knew the damage she had caused, and he wasn't going to pretend otherwise. She had made her choices, and whatever came next was
