LOGINThree years ago, Laura signed her name on divorce papers that ended what she believed was the perfect marriage. Her husband, Michael, once the most devoted man she knew, had become cold, detached, and cruel, pushing her away with a precision that shattered her heart. She believed the rumors, the lies, and the whispers that every act of care he’d once shown her was borrowed from another woman, his first love. Kayla. Now, years later, Laura is a successful lawyer, determined never to fall prey to love again. But when Michael walks into her firm seeking representation for his own divorce from the same woman who destroyed their marriage; the truth begins to unravel. What she thought was betrayal was, in fact, sacrifice. And when their child is kidnapped in a web of supernatural politics and bloodline secrets, Laura and Michael are forced together once more.
View MoreChapter 105 – Kayla’s POVI was halfway through tying Lily’s shoelaces when my phone rang.“Mommy, are we still getting ice cream after groceries?” Lily asked, swinging her small legs impatiently as she sat on the couch.“Yes, if you behave well,” I replied absently, my attention already drifting toward my phone vibrating on the table.I stood up and walked over to check the screen. The number wasn’t saved, but the area code was familiar.It was a law firm.I frowned.Why would a firm be calling me?I hadn’t filed anything new. The divorce process was ongoing, yes, but there was no fresh documentation that required my appearance today.I picked up the call.“Mrs. Kayla?” a professional female voice asked.“Yes.”“You’re invited to our firm this afternoon. It concerns your ongoing marital case. We would appreciate your presence within the next hour.”I blinked. “Invited? By who?”“You’ll understand when you arrive,” the voice replied politely before ending the call.I stared at the scr
Chapter 114 – Laura’s POVI was still shaking when the door finally closed behind Micheal.For a few seconds, I just stood there, staring at the scattered papers on my office floor. My heart was racing so fast it hurt. I could still hear the echo of their fists hitting skin.I inhaled slowly and turned to Daniel.His lower lip was split. There was a faint bruise already forming along his jaw. He was dabbing at the blood with a handkerchief, his expression calm but tight around the edges.“I’m so sorry,” I said immediately. My voice sounded strained even to me. “I am really, really sorry.”Daniel gave a small nod, but he didn’t smile. “It’s fine.”“It’s not fine,” I insisted. I rushed to the cabinet behind my desk and pulled out the first aid box. My hands were still trembling as I opened it. “He had no right. None at all.”I moved closer to Daniel and gently tilted his chin. “Hold still,” I muttered.I cleaned the cut carefully. He didn’t flinch, but I could feel the tension in him.
Chapter 103 – Micheal’s POVI woke before my alarm rang.For a few seconds, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling. My chest felt tight, like I hadn’t slept at all. Laura had been on my mind the whole night. Today, I told myself, I would go to her office again. I would talk to her properly. Just a calm conversation. She owed me that much.I got dressed earlier than usual. I even changed my shirt twice because I didn’t want to look careless. I didn’t know why it mattered so much. Maybe because I didn’t want her seeing me as some unstable fool.By the time I stepped out, the sun was barely up. The drive to her office felt longer than usual. My thoughts kept running in circles.Laura is just angry. She doesn’t mean what she says.She still cares.When I arrived at her office building, I noticed something immediately. Her assistant’s desk was empty. That was strange. The assistant was always there before anyone else. I frowned but didn’t think much of it. Maybe she stepped out.I walk
Chapter 102_Kayla’s POVThe audacity of that woman.The moment she disappeared from my room without a single explanation, without even a word of gratitude after I handed her the antidote, my entire body burned with rage. I stood there for several seconds after she vanished, staring at the empty space she had occupied, my fingers still curled from where I had held the vial.She just barged into my room bleeding, demanding help like I owed her something, glaring at me as though I was beneath her and then she left without answering a single question.“How dare she,” I muttered, pacing across the room.My chest rose and fell as anger consumed me. I had tolerated her arrogance for too long simply because our interests were aligned for now. But tonight had crossed a line. She had looked at me like I was disposable and meant nothing to her.I stopped pacing and clenched my fists tightly. “After I win this divorce case,” I swore under my breath, “I will kill her myself.”The vow felt satisfyi
