STEP ASIDE EX-HUSBAND: THE RISE OF LIANA Chapter 133
Liana's PovI stood in front of the mirror, barely recognizing myself. The dress was pristine white, simple and yet lovely, its lace sleeves brushing against my arms as though they were trying to remind me that I was finally allowed to live in light. My hair had been pulled into soft curls that covered my face, and the veil was pinned with precision. Behind me, my mother took a deep breath and I immediately turned towards her. Her eyes were gleaming and her lips curved in a tremulous smile."You look lovely, my darling," she whispered, her voice cracking. "I am so proud of you. For everything you've done, everything you've suffered. You've carried more burdens than anyone should, and today, you get to set them down finally.".Her tears failed me and I began to cry. I moved closer, taking her hands, and for a moment I wasn't a woman about to be married, but a daughter being told she had lived.The door opened suddenly Serena's friendly face broke in on our fragile moment. She was my ch

Dominics PovI sat rigidly in the leather chair, my arms folded across my chest, staring at the wall behind my lawyer’s head. The room felt like a cage and the air smelled faintly of dust, and the buzzing of red bulb shining right into my skull like a constant reminder that I didn’t belong here.He had been talking for the past ten minutes, circling the same points over and over, and I knew where he was going before he even said it.“You have to accept this deal, Dominic,” he said, his voice clipped but calm. “If you don’t, you will spend the rest of your life in prison. I don’t say this to scare you, I say it because it’s fact.”My jaw clenched. I leaned forward, resting my elbows on my knees, glaring at him. “No. I am not pleading for them ro readdress. I didn’t kill Elia. I won’t stand there and let them paint me as something I’m not.”“But your boys did. Focus Dominic that isn’t even the main point” he replied, sliding a paper across the desk toward me. The document looked harmle

Serena's PovThe loud crack of the gavel echoed through the courtroom causing me to freeze for a moment."Order!" the judge bellowed, eyes sweeping the room.My legs trembled, but I pushed myself forward. For a moment, the faces blurred, Liana looked stunned, Stanley's mouth dropped and Dominic scowled frozen in surprise. My heart pounded in my ears, but I forced myself to breathe. "Serena?" Liana's voice cracked, incredulity and fear twisted in them. "What are you doing here?"I steadied myself on the back of the wooden chair before me. "Don't worry," I said, attempting to sound as composed as possible. "I've got this."The other lawyer sprang up immediately, his finger pointing at me as if I were a threat. "Your Honor, this is highly wrong! This lady does not belong here, she's unstable and unfit to testify."His words hurt, but I stood my ground.The judge's gaze landed on me, ominous and interrogative. "Ms. Serena… the court has been informed of your medical condition. Why are yo

Serena's PovI woke up with a heavy feeling in my chest.Not the type you shake off with a stretch or a yawn, but the type that clings to you like wet clothing, heavy and oppressive. My head throbbed but I managed to open my eyes.I slapped my hand against my temple and groaned. The room was too bright, the air too still everything was strangely disturbing. I shoved my legs off the bed and sat up. My throat was dry and my body was heavy, as if I hadn't slept in weeks. Fact was… I barely had. The night had been restless, my mind reliving pieces of thoughts that refused to come together. Today is the final hearing and my mind and peace had suddenly become sworn enemies. Caffeine. I needed caffeine desperately. So I pulled myself out of the room, running to the stairs. My bare feet pounded on the wood floor, my eyes half squinted and my mind already imagining the bitter taste of coffee. I held on to the railing, horridly running down the stairs in desperation. And then suddenly, the s

Liana's PovEveryone was gathered in my Z core office. The tension was palpable from the moment we all sat and the round table looked too small to handle what we were about to discuss. Stanley sat beside me, near enough that I could feel his arm brush against mine from time to time. Serena sat quietly, her hands folded in her lap, her face white but calm. My mother sat across from us, and the attorneys spread papers out in front of them, their glasses glinting in the light from above.Finally, Walter cleared his throat. "I know this is intimidating, Liana," he said gently, his voice carrying the kind of weight you could not ignore. "But I want you to remember that truth has a way of always emerging. What you are doing here is not only for you but for your daughter."I nodded in spite of the constriction in my throat."We've been through everything," another lawyer said as he tapped the papers. "The only missing link is evidence directly connected to Elia Torres. We also know he hit Se

Liana's PovI woke up to the soft clinking of a tray being placed on my nightstand. I could smell the scent of tea and buttered toast wafting in the air before I even opened my eyes. When I finally blushed into consciousness in the light of day, the first thing I saw was my mother leaning over me, her eyes wide with worried silence."Good morning, sweetie," she whispered softly, as though she didn't want to rouse me.But the moment I moved my head, a searing pain exploded behind my temples. I twitched and shut my eyes again. My head folded in as it banged like a drum."Migraine," my mother said softly, not even questioning. She knew, of course, she did. "I'm fine," I lied, though my voice was strained. I tried to push myself up, but the motion sent another spiral of agony through my head."Don't," she whispered softly, setting her hand against my shoulder. "Just lie back and rest.”She got up and reached for the small medicine bottle on the table and pushed two pills into my palm. "T
