Winning Back the Husband

I have tried to persuade my wife, Sandra Kimmel, to go to AnthoNIX's music concert with me 99 times now. On the 100th attempt, Sandra finally agrees to go with me. She then buys us two front row tickets. But during the concert, I am stopped outside the venue by the guards because I didn't have my ticket on me. I am then left standing there all alone, immaculately dressed as I am. None of my calls manage to go through to Sandra, not even when the concert comes to an end. News of Sandra and her sidepiece attending the concert and asking AnthoNIX to perform his hit song 'Night Blossom' then starts trending online. My heart shatters into a million pieces. I begin mourning the loss of my marriage.

The trending news about Sandra Kimmel and her sidepiece, William Howles, ended up being reposted by her on her social media.She even included an apology in her captions."He got a little carried away after insisting on going to the concert with me. Neither of us expected this news to go viral. I'm really grateful for everybody's concern, and I apologize for the fuss."Sandra and I had been married for five years, but she never posted about me on her social media.Yet now, another man had taken my spot with such ease.I'd asked Sandra to go to the concert with me 99 times, but she never once said yes. Yet when William asked her to do the same thing, she agreed to it on his first try.I exited the social media app, feeling somewhat numb inside. I then continued waiting for a cab by the road.There were massive traffic jams all over the city tonight due to AnthoNIX's concert. Even though I waited by the venue entrance for a long time, I still couldn't manage to get a cab.My phon

When it was almost time to get off work, I got a text message from Sandra. It was a booking notification from a local high-end restaurant.I knew this was Sandra's way of making things up to me.I tucked the freshly-printed divorce agreement into my briefcase and got ready to go to the restaurant.The moment I stepped out of the office, I saw William in the distance. William was famously known as Sandra's trusty sidekick throughout the city. He was quite handsome too.I watched as he entered Sandra's car before it sped off.Sandra soon sent me a text message, most likely asking me to wait for her at the law firm.I didn't do so. Instead, I went to the restaurant.I then ordered a couple's set menu for myself. I loved the ribeye steak here, and so I ate both portions for dinner.I used to only start eating when Sandra arrived. However, now I knew that she couldn't care less about whether I ate or not.Sandra stood me up in the end.I didn't get upset whatsoever.Even after I

Chapter 3
Yep. The moment Sandra made such a face, the one at fault could only ever be me.However, all I was doing now was flipping through the contents of my briefcase to search for the divorce agreement.I didn't manage to find it in the end. I most likely left it at the restaurant earlier."What are you looking for now?" Sandra asked. She shifted to her side and leaned over to look.I hummed but said nothing further. I didn't like how close she was to me right now.That night, I ditched the master bedroom and slept in the guestroom instead. My sleep was very peaceful and deep.…Considering that I had been seeing Sandra more frequently these two days, I decided to amend the divorce agreement.I was deep in thought at my desk when Sandra suddenly gave me a phone call. She told me to head to her office and hand in some documents.I thought about it and decided not to bring up the divorce yet. After all, Sandra hated it when any personal affairs were brought up in her office—especially

I still remembered bumping into Sandra and William at the mall two months ago. What a coincidence it had been.I had been picking out Sandra's birthday present. Meanwhile, she'd been shopping with William.I had panicked while William had remained calm. Then, Sandra had flown into a fit of rage. She publicly accused me of stalking her and interfering with her and her client's private discussions.In the end, I spent the entire day smoking cigarettes outside the mall entrance.That was why I chose to distance myself from them this time.The divorce agreement was swiftly amended.Jasper had some business to attend to, so he gave me further instructions on some of the clauses before leaving.I sipped on my coffee while basking in the warm sunlight. I then amended the remaining clauses while humming a happy little tune."Why don't I drive you back to the firm, Lincoln?" Sandra asked. She was standing by my table with a smile on her face. William was nowhere to be found, much to my

"What is the meaning of this?" Sandra sat down opposite me. Her brows were furrowed together in confusion. "You should've had your fun with those tantrums by now. Any more of it will just be pointless. You're a man, aren't you? Why can't you be more considerate?"What was more considerate than letting your wife sleep with another man?How much more generous did Sandra expect me to be?If Sandra didn't feel some sense of guilt toward me right now, then she might not have been so patient as to stick around up until now. Heck, the only person she'd ever wait for, no matter how long it took, was William."Don't worry. I'm not interested in making this divorce a contentious one." I nudged the agreement toward her.Sandra suspiciously flipped it open. I then watched as her expression grew more solemn.I wasn't sure what point there was in pretending. Anyone who read the divorce agreement would see that she wasn't the losing party in this situation whatsoever.Yet Sandra only furiously

"Ms. Kimmel is especially terrifying today. Are you alright? Do you need me to rescue you later?" the intern asked.I shook my head, grateful for the intern's kindness.I then went to Sandra's office with her.She slammed the door shut with a loud bang. It made me flinch—the glass door had just been installed. It better not break from how hard Sandra had shut it."What the hell are you going on about, huh?" Sandra hissed.My eyes roamed across the office.William was spritzing his cologne throughout the office as he'd just finished smoking a cigarette.Yet Sandra remained quiet about his actions.She had taken two of her allergy pills. The packaging was sitting quietly in the nearby trash bin.There was some redness on Sandra's neck too. It seemed like her allergic reaction hadn't fully healed yet.She was still suffering from her allergies because of William? Now, of all times? Of course, Sandra would be furious."I'm not going on about anything, Ms. Kimmel. I've just thoug

That would be so embarrassing.I had no choice but to keep diligently applying for jobs in order to live a better life.But I'd spent too long working at Kimmel & Partners. Many of the bigger firms rejected me after seeing that I didn't have a lot of litigation experience in court. Additionally, Sandra's ban was still in effect.All the firms were worried that the reason I'd been fired was that I'd stabbed Kimmel & Partners in the back.This went on for a week. I then finally received a message about an interview.Honestly, I hadn't held any hopes prior to applying to this law firm. The reason was that the firm's founder knew about my and Sandra's relationship.Her and Sandra's enmity began in high school. Theirs was a tale of competing for the spot of prettiest girl in school, where the firm's founder happened to lose.…Olivia Hilton used to be in the same class as Sandra in high school. Even though they majored in different subjects in university, they still kept at each oth

Chapter 8
At least Olivia wasn't berating me.I wanted to remind her that speaking too harshly could bring about unnecessary trouble. I opened my mouth to speak, but I hesitated and gave up in the end.After all, Olivia had a point."Yes. We're getting divorced," I said.Olivia froze slightly, taken aback by how straightforward I was.But she quickly came to her senses and smiled. "In all the years I've known you, this is the first time I've seen you make such an intelligent decision."To reward me for making such a decision, Olivia put me through an excruciatingly challenging training program for work. I had to wake up at the crack of dawn and go to work early each day. I only went home to sleep after the firm had closed for the day.But I had to admit that Olivia's highly difficult training was quite effective. I learned many things that I hadn't learned at Kimmel & Partners, even though I'd worked there for so many years.My hectic work schedule soon made Sandra fade from my thoughts.

"Are you trying to make me get a stroke, Lincoln? Why'd you bring Olivia Hilton here?" Sandra demanded.Olivia took a step forward to stand between Sandra and me. "Please watch your tone with my employee, Ms. Kimmel. What right do you have to be berating him right now?"Sandra looked at me, then at Olivia. She sneered and pointed at Olivia before turning her finger to me. "You went to Olivia right after resigning from my firm? You're such an idiot. Do you enjoy being degraded that much?""Hey now." Olivia shifted Sandra's finger, so she was pointing at herself. "Watch it. Lincoln here only ever got degraded when he was working for you."Sandra was already upset with how quiet I was being."How is this any of your business?" she hissed at Olivia.Olivia calmly tucked her hair behind her ear and cleared her throat. "Since my firm's newest lawyer is taking on his first case on his own, I thought to come along with him out of care and consideration for his well-being. Is that so wron

"Why not?" I cut Sandra's attempt at gaining an upper hand off. "Once you agree to the divorce, I'll do my best to help William out in return. That's a pretty good deal, isn't it?"Sandra opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn't think of anything to say. In the end, she could only furrow her brows and say, "Don't get your feelings involved in this.""You know that's not what's happening here."Sandra knew I cared most about my professional reputation as a lawyer. A lawyer's duty was to uphold justice. If it weren't for the legal aid, I would never have taken on a losing case like this one. Sandra knew very well that William's company was facing a major crisis. She might still have a chance to survive after the case was over. But the financial issues in William's company really were too substantial. Furthermore, since William had no intention of pleading guilty, we were bound to lose this case.So if we actually took his case, who would still believe in the justice we swore t
