Chapter 8

Author: Hello Brain
Three days later, Michael and I went to court.

Owen and I arrived at the courthouse together. He was dressed in a black suit and was carrying a folder full of documents.

"Nervous?" he asked.

"Not at all."

"Your palms are sweating."

I looked down at my hands. "It's hot out."

Owen didn't call me out on it. He simply handed me a bottle of water.

Michael had arrived before us. Lorraine and Michael's lawyer was standing beside him.

Lorraine was dressed modestly today. She wasn't wearing her u

    A month later, Michael came to the Sinclair residence.Bella ran into the living room with her stuffed rabbit in her arms.She stood beside me and whispered, "Mommy, is Daddy taking me somewhere today?""Not today."I crouched down and straightened her collar. "He's just here to see you."Michael's face lost some color when he heard me.He used to care about how other people saw him.Now he was standing in the Sinclair residence's living room, facing the in-laws he'd once thought were nothing more than poor relatives. He didn't even dare look up.My father didn't yell at him.My mother didn't give him a hard time either.They simply sat nearby and watched him talk to Bella.Michael took out a gift box and held it out to her. "Bella, I got you this."Bella didn't take the gift."What is it?""The newest kids' tablet.""Mommy says I'm not allowed to play on the tablet all the time.""Then, you can play with it when she's not looking. I won't tell her."Bella immediately

    Michael went to see Lorraine, but she refused to let him in."You've already been fired. What are you doing here?"Michael stood outside the door as he stared at her in disbelief. "You sent those photos to Zoey, didn't you?"Lorraine ran a hand through her hair. There wasn't a trace of guilt on her face."So what if I did?""You ruined me.""That's because you weren't good enough," she spat. Her tone was so cold that she seemed like a completely different person.She leaned against the doorframe. "You told me Zoey was just a stay-at-home mom with nothing. You said that if I stayed with you, we'd eventually live in the Sinclair residence. But now?"Michael's face darkened.Lorraine chuckled."You can't even keep your house anymore."With that, she shut the door in his face.Michael stood outside for a long time. He had finally realized that he had nothing left.What happened to him no longer had anything to do with me.…I started taking over the family business again.M

    After we left the courthouse, I stared out the car window without saying a word.Owen didn't press me. He simply turned off the music and let me sit in silence.As soon as we pulled up in front of the Sinclair residence, I saw Bella running toward us with her stuffed rabbit in her arms. "Mommy!"She was wearing a pink dress and had her hair tied into pigtails that bounced as she ran.The moment I opened the car door, she threw herself into my arms."Mommy, what took you so long?"I hugged her tightly. The faint scent of milk still lingered in her hair. I could feel my eyes sting. "I had something very important to take care of.""Are you done now?""I am."I lowered my head and kissed her forehead. "From now on, I won't let anyone who doesn't appreciate you take you away from me."Bella didn't understand what I meant. She just wrapped her arms around my neck and smiled."Does that mean you'll stay with me every day now?""Yeah.""Is Daddy coming too?"I fell silent for a

    Michael stumbled backward and hit the wall.The color drained from Lorraine's face as she stared at me. "But you said your parents died years ago.""That's just what Michael told you. I never said they did."Michael lowered his eyes to the divorce papers in his hands. His fingers trembled uncontrollably.That was when it finally hit him.I had never needed him to survive.At 5:00 pm that afternoon, Owen got a phone call.His expression remained unchanged as he listened to the caller."What is it?" I asked."The board at Michael Technologies just voted to remove Michael as the CEO."I was shocked.Owen continued, "Sinclair Group has already started legal action over the breach of contract. The banks have also suspended their credit lines. Michael's been fired."I looked toward the courthouse entrance. Michael was still there.The confidence he'd had that morning was gone. His suit was wrinkled, and his face was ashen. He looked like someone had drained all his strength.Th

Lorraine and Michael's lawyer was standing beside him.Lorraine was dressed modestly today. She wasn't wearing her usual heavy makeup. She was doing whatever she could to look innocent.The moment she saw me, she moved closer to Michael.Michael looked like he already knew how this was going to end."It's not too late to change your mind, Zoey.""I have a lot of regrets, but this isn't one of them."His expression darkened.Once the hearing began, Michael's lawyer presented their evidence first.The first piece was a photo of Owen and me outside the hospital.The second piece of evidence was a series

    I had just left the apartment complex when my phone rang.It was a multimedia message from an unknown number.I opened the photos. Lorraine was wearing a black spaghetti-strap dress and was lying on a bed. Michael had his arms around her from behind. His face was pressed close to her ear.They were both barely dressed.The sign for the lounge at Michael Technologies was visible in the corner of the photo.The next photo showed Lorraine curled up in Michael's arms. They held up the diamond necklace together.Then, she sent me a message. "Michael says he'll be single again soon. You've been Mrs. Graham long enough. It's time to give that title to someone else."I stared at the photos. I wasn't all that angry.If anything, I felt relieved to finally have proof.I'd already asked Owen to get the security footage from the restaurant last night.The photos that Lorraine had sent me herself were exactly what I needed to prove that she and Michael were more than just coworkers.I re
