STEP ASIDE EX-HUSBAND: THE RISE OF LIANA Chapter 113
Liana's PovThe automatic doors of the hospital swooshed wide as we stepped out, the warm summer air shining on my face. The sun bathed the parking lot in golden light making me squint after the hospital's clinical low illumination.This time, though, the brightness wasn't an issue, It felt like a benediction.Stanley had gone to get the car around while my mum was holding Cam's stuff… a small bag with her things, a worn-out coloring book, and her fox. Cam gripped my hand hard with her own hand smaller but somehow tighter than I remembered.The car stopped in front of us and Stanley jumped out, his strides deliberate but noiseless. He swung open the back door for us and then moved around to the boot to stuff the bag.Cam sat beside me on the backseat, clutching her plush fox like a shield. My mom sat next to her, smoothing her scarf and tapping Cam's knee reassuringly. I was sitting by the window, watching the hospital grow smaller in the side mirror as we pulled away.Stanley toyed w

Liana's POVThe fluorescent lights shone from above, casting sterile patches of light that made all the feelings in my chest feel jagged and raw. My footsteps echoed in lwith Stanley's by my side, each footstep heavy with exhaustion and expectation.I hadn't even realized how deeply I'd been breathing until I saw the familiar corner that led me to Cam's room. My chest eased a bit, but not all the way. Atleast not until I could see her for myself.Stanley followed me, his hand lightly sweeping over the small of my back as we turned the corner. The casual touch anchored me more than he likely knew. It was a firm and unspoken support in the midst of my turmoil. My mother stood just inside by the door her arms folded across her chest with a scarf drawn tightly around her hair as always whenever she was anxious. She looked up the minute we arrived, her eyes locking onto mine with a flicker of worry, relief, and something only mothers carried in the weight of their gaze.“Liana,” she breat

Dominic’s POVEach footstep sounded louder than it should, like the building itself was teasing me with its echo. The tension that had been building inside me all morning now rolled dangerously just beneath the surface, crawling through my neck and coiling down my spine.I could still feel Stanley’s voice in my bones calm, cold and confident. Like a man who’d already won.And Liana … Liana hadn’t looked away once. Not when she stood her ground. Not when she spoke my name like it tasted like ash, not even when I tried to meet her gaze with whatever trace of guilt I thought would matter. She didn’t flinch. Her eyes were steady and filled with something more dangerous than fury.Conviction. And that… that made something twist, deep in my gut.“We need to talk,” I said curtly to my legal team the moment the doors closed behind us.My barrister who was once the sharpest legal mind I knew, shuffled beside me like a man dodging landmines. “We’ll regroup at my office. Let the others head ou

Liana's POVAs we stepped out of the courtroom, the sharp sting of sunlight made me squint my eyes. The sky had cleared while we were inside, and the heat had suddenly returned. A mixture of photographers and reporters waited behind the barriers, clicking cameras, their lenses like eyes searching for cracks in our expressions. I lowered my gaze and clutched Stanley hand.We had barely taken five steps down the courthouse stairs when reporters started pushing to get to us. “Ms. Davids, what do you have to say about the court proceedings?” “Ms. Davids, is it true that Mr Dominic physically abused you in the past?“Ms. Davids…” Another reporter started but stanley swiftly pushed past them to create a space for me. Just as we got to a quieter environment, a voice called to me. "Liana."I stopped. The sound of it felt like broken glass under my skin. Can't he just let a sleeping dog lie?I turned around slowly, my hearting louder than the footsteps of the people around me. He stood just

Liana's POVToday is the hearing and I woke up with a physical weight on my chest. I hardly slept, neither did mum.The house was quiet, almost somber, as if it also knew what was impending. I paced the hallway, back and forth, my bare feet gliding across the cool tiles as the sky outside slowly lightened with that dull, grey hue of dawn.I was half-way through brushing my hair when I heard a sharp knock on the door. For some reason, I was tensed. I wasn't expecting anyone today and who even visits a person on a Monday morning? I opened the door and was shocked by the sight of Stanley, panting like he had run all the way here. He didn't even wait for me to ask him in before he walked in, phone in one hand and a black USB in the other."You're not going to believe this," he said, his voice half disbelief, half grim determination. "I got something for you. A real ushakeable surprise.”“What is it?” I asked, interested but not exactly excited. I was feeling too many emotions at the momen

Lianas PovThe air was thick with quiet tension as I sat beside Serena in the backseat of the car, her hands pressed together on her lap, her knuckles pale against her skin. Stanley was at the wheel his eyes focused on the road but his fingers tapped nervously on the steering wheel. The drive to the lawyer’s office felt longer than it should have, like the silence stretching between us was pulling time along with it. I kept glancing at Serena from time to time to make sure she was okay. She hadn’t said a word since we left the house.She looked tired and disturbed and this stress didn't look like the kind of stress that came from lack of sleep, but the kind that clung to your bones and your heart. It was both emotional and mental. Her eyes were hollow, her shoulders drooped, and her lips were pressed together so tightly it looked like she was trying to hold in everything threatening to spill out. I reached out slowly and touched her hand."Are you okay?" I asked softly.She nodded w
