OFF LIMIT: FOURTEEN NIGHTS WITH MY HUSBAND'S BEST FRIENDS HE'D DONE IT. HE'D WON.
Chapter 283ElowenAs we were about to leave the court room that day, Anna walked up to me.I thought she wanted to say something about how she was saying the truth. But surprisingly she hugged me immediately we got close and started crying.I froze not knowing what to do with that. Didn't know why she was this emotional.My hands that limped by my side uselessly moved up round her back. I tapped on it slowly."Do not worry about the case, Kain will win it. I promise." She cried more not letting go.At first I told myself it was just a hug but then it stopped feeling that way and started feeling like something more."I failed you. "I heard her say between sobs. "You went through all that and I wasn't there for you. I was wallowing in self-pity when you were going through all this." Ohh that was what she meant."I'm fine now, you do not need to..." I tried to pull away but she held me tight."I'm so sorry. This selfish woman that thought about herself and didn't for once think about h
OFF LIMIT: FOURTEEN NIGHTS WITH MY HUSBAND'S BEST FRIENDS KAIN LET ME GO THROUGH ALL THAT
Chapter 282Elowen I opened my mouth, then closed it. Because he was right about one thing... Anna had abandoned me. And I still didn't fully understand why, even after everything she'd told me."That child," Pembroke said quietly, letting the words sink in, "was you, Ms. Voss. You were abandoned by Ms. Ferretti. And now she's telling you a story about being raped, and you're believing every word of it without question. You're funding her legal battle. You're testifying under oath on her behalf. Doesn't that strike you as potentially problematic? Doesn't that suggest that your judgment might be clouded by your own desire to understand why she abandoned you?""She was trying to survive.""Or perhaps she was running from something else," Pembroke suggested. "Perhaps she's been running her entire life, reinventing her story to suit her circumstances. Perhaps she abandoned you because she was unstable. And now, when she needs money, when she needs to explain her life, suddenly there's
OFF LIMIT: FOURTEEN NIGHTS WITH MY HUSBAND'S BEST FRIENDS A WOMAN WHO WOULD BETRAY HER MARRIAGE VOWS
Chapter 281Elowen I took a step back and stared at my hand in disbelief.Not knowing what was going on. Different thoughts ran through my head.What If I had a deadly disease? But deathly diseases don't heal wounds.Or what if I was a vampire or witch? But this is real world and not movie. Such a thing can't exist.I should tell kane and Matteo but I can't, they're going through a lot of stress because of me. And they'll want me to drop whatever is going on if they feel I was stressing myself.Maybe it's stress. Yes, that's it. I came to the realization that I was stressing myself and needed to rest well. So, did what I wanted to do slowly and then went back to bed.I'll be fine after the whole thing Is settled. Nothing is wrong with me. ......By the third day of the trial, all four men were present in the courtroom.Richard Stratton sat next to James Ashton—a man in his mid-fifties with slicked-back dark hair and cold eyes that reminded me of a reptile. Marcus Bellamy was acros
OFF LIMIT: FOURTEEN NIGHTS WITH MY HUSBAND'S BEST FRIENDS THE SCRATCH WAS NO LONGER THERE
Chapter 280ElowenThe courtroom was smaller than I expected.I'd built it up in my mind as something grand and imposing, with high ceilings and an echo that would make every word feel weighted with consequence. Instead, it was a functional space with beige walls, wooden furniture that had seen decades of trials, and fluorescent lighting that made everyone look slightly washed out and tired.I sat in the gallery behind the prosecution table, with Matteo on one side and Caroline on the other. Her hand squeezed mine periodically like she was checking that I was still breathing, still present, still holding on.Anna was in a side room, waiting to be called. The other six witnesses were scattered throughout the building, protected and separate until they testified.And then there was James Ashton.He sat at the defense table with his legal team, looking exactly like his photograph... gray hair, expensive suit, the kind of casual confidence that came from a lifetime of believing conseque
OFF LIMIT: FOURTEEN NIGHTS WITH MY HUSBAND'S BEST FRIENDS WE'LL TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING
Chapter 279ElowenThe week before the trial, everything felt like it was moving in slow motion and fast forward simultaneously.Days stretched into nights filled with anxiety and preparation, while the hours seemed to disappear in a blur of final meetings with lawyers, last-minute testimony reviews, and the kind of nervous energy that came with knowing your life was about to change fundamentally.I was six and a half months pregnant now, my belly round and prominent, my body no longer my own. Every movement felt deliberate, every breath conscious. And underneath it all, there was something else...that strange, growing awareness of strength I didn't fully understand and wasn't ready to examine too closely.The cup incident hadn't been the last incident.I'd been holding a ceramic mug while thinking about James Ashton, about what it would be like to sit in a courtroom and see his face, to hear him being called my biological father in front of the entire world. The mug had simply... cr
OFF LIMIT: FOURTEEN NIGHTS WITH MY HUSBAND'S BEST FRIENDS A SECRET I WILL NEVER TELL.
Chapter 278ElowenKian and Matteo pulled me into Matteo's study five days after the bed incident, and I could feel the weight of something serious hanging in the air between us."What's going on?" I asked, settling into the chair they'd positioned for me. Five months pregnant meant they were increasingly careful about where I sat and for how long."We filed the case," Kian said, sliding a stack of official documents across the desk. "Three days ago. Charges have been formally filed against James Ashton, Richard Stratton, Marcus Bellamy, and Christopher Harding."I felt my breath catch. "Three days ago? Why didn't you tell me immediately?""We wanted to make sure everything was secure first," Matteo explained. "Anna and the six other witnesses are all in protected housing. Declan and Reina have been coordinating with the authorities to ensure they're completely safe. Once we knew everyone was in place, we filed."I scanned the documents without really reading them, my mind spinning. I

Chapter 84Elowen "I didn't want to assume anything even though we've been... you know."The consideration in that gesture made my chest tight because Adrian never would have thought about whether I wanted my own space, would have just assumed he had rights to me regardless of the circumstances."

Chapter 83Elowen"I've spent a lot of time in Italy," Kian said with a shrug. "For work initially but then I just kept coming back because I love it here, the history and the culture and the way people approach life differently than they do back home.""You could have been a tour guide," I said wi

Chapter 85Elowen"Then we'll eat what we want and leave the rest," Kian said with a shrug. "Sit, have coffee, tell me how you slept."I settled into the chair across from him and accepted the coffee he poured, watching him add cream and sugar without asking because somehow he'd already memorized h
