I looked at Daniel like he’d lost his damn mind, “Seriously? I highly doubt that.” Daniel laughed out loud, “Honey, I’m very serious. Before you two were married and before dad arranged the marriage, he used to talk about your work. He always told me that your designs could easily make it to New York’s Fashion Week, but his company hasn’t really been noticed by any big names.”

I shook my head, “I doubt that. I just drew what I was envisioning. I would ‘see’ clothing designs in my mind’s eye and

  • The Ex-Wife He Never Knew   Chapter 126

    Just as Leigh Ann was leaving the stand Victor slid onto the seat next to Daniel. I heard Daniel ask, “Did you get carried away talking with Amy?” Victor blushed, “Maybe. Bro, she’s awesome. We’ll talk more about this later.”We spent the next six hours watching testimonies from several people from the defense side, then the Prosecutor would tear the original testimony to shreds. There were no experts, only more of Daya’s friends, committing perjury. It didn’t take much to disprove their testimonies and expose their intent to commit perjury. The judge had each of them taken to the holding cells to wait for their sentence.When both sides rested their cases, the judge made sure the jury was given their instructions, then they were sent back to the jury room for deliberations. As soon as they were gone, the judge turned to the court room, “I do not foresee a long deliberation for the jury, so you are welcome to take a thirty-minute break, and we will reconvene in this court room.” He ban

    When we got back to the court room, we took our seats and waited for the judge and jury to enter the room. Within a minute of our arrival, the guards brought Daya to the Defendant’s table and the Prosecutor took his seat in front of the stand. When the bailiff announced the judge’s arrival, we all stood until he was seated and he announced, “You may be seated.”He then turned to the bailiff, “Please bring in the jury.” The bailiff stepped out and returned just a couple minutes later with the jury following him. When they were seated, he turned to the prosecutor’s table, “Prosecution, please call your next witness.” The prosecutor stood, “The prosecution now calls Leigh Ann Michaels to the stand.”Leigh Ann entered the gallery and took her seat on the stand. As soon as she was seated, some of Daya’s friends stood and started trying to threaten Leigh Ann. One stood and shouted, “Leigh Ann, if you say anything against Daya, I swear, you will never have another friend.” Leigh Ann replied,

    Daniel and I went to a coffee shop that was close to the courthouse, while Victor and Theodore followed us. When we were all seated, the waitress approached our table, handing out menus, “What can I get you all to drink?” I smiled, “I think I would like an iced tea, sweetened.” Daniel answered, “Same for me.” Victor answered, “Make that three.” Theodore grinned, “Make that four. Thank you.”The waitress stepped back, “My name is Amy and I will be back shortly with your drinks, and I will also take your orders then.” I smiled as she turned to walk away. As soon as she left our table, Victor grinned mischievously, “She’s nice. Very pretty too.” Daniel chuckled, “I didn’t see a wedding band. Maybe you should try.”Victor gasped, “No. Just no. I want to wait until the babies are born before I even attempt a new relationship.” I shrugged, “I don’t know about that. Some women would prefer to be a part of things as soon as she meets the guy. You would just need to be open and honest about the

    Harley POVThe bailiff walked into the conference room, “Mrs. Harley Cross, the court is ready for you.” I smiled, “On my way.” I stood to join him, and we walked to the courtroom. As I walked through the gallery, I could feel eyes on me. It was seriously starting to creep me out until I got to the witness stand.As soon as I was sworn in, I sat down and immediately locked eyes with Daya. I smiled, then turned to the prosecutor, waiting for him to start speaking. He approached to stand in front of me, “Would you please state your full name for the court?” I nodded, “My name is Harlequin Marie Cross. Everyone just calls me Harley.”The prosecutor asked, “How long have you known the defendant?” I shrugged, “I had only known about her until two days after Victor told me he wanted a divorce.” He asked, “Was that the day after you moved out?” I nodded, “Yes. That was the day I had movers at the house to get my stuff out of our house. It was also the day I found out I was pregnant.”He asked

    Victor POVThe defense attorney, a short guy with a bit of a belly and a receding hairline, approached me, “Mister Cross, how would you characterize your relationship with my client now?” I huffed, “What relationship? She is nothing to me. The Daya I used to know died when she rejected my proposal and walked away. The woman who came back is not the one who left.”He asked, “What do you mean?” I answered, “In high school, Daya did not have that whiney voice, she wasn’t as clingy as she is now, and she wasn’t the type of girl who would plan to kill an unborn child or anyone, for that matter. The girl I proposed marriage to was just an average girl who was very pretty. The woman who came back is mostly plastic and it shows.“Everything about her, now, is overdone; cheek implants, collagen injections in the lips, facelift, butt implants, Botox injections so strong, a huge John Deere tractor won’t make her eyebrows move. I prefer a woman with a more natural look.” Daya jumped up again, “Vic

    Chapter 121Victor POVWhen I walked into the court room, I could feel all eyes on me as I walked through the gallery and approached the stand. I was sworn in and sat in the chair provided. As soon as I settled in, I caught Daya smiling at me and I gave her a disgusted expression as I shook my head. I heard her make a sound like a growl and I just shook my head at her again. It’s a good thing I got rid of her. There is no way I could have spent the rest of my life with her.The judge addressed the prosecution, “Prosecutor, please proceed.” The prosecutor stood up and walked to stand in front of me, “Mister Cross, how do you know Dayanara Lachland?” I answered, “Our mothers were friends since we were babies, so we grew up together.”The prosecutor asked, “At what age did you start dating?” I answered, “We were 16. When we graduated high school, I proposed, but she declined. She said she wanted to be able to stay single to get her acting career established.” He asked, “How did you take t

    When I got to the store, I unlocked the door and walked in. I walked around and looked at all of the items to be refurbished or repurposed. I smiled at all the possibilities. I heard the back door open and my contractor, Jessica or Jessie for short, walked in. She smiled, “Good morning, Harley. How

    When we got home, Amy had dinner ready for us. I smiled as soon as I got off the elevator, “Mmm… Roast with potatoes and carrots. Yum. I love comfort food.” Daniel laughed, “Are we becoming food driven?” I laughed, “The babies are causing me to be food driven. They’re turning me into a pig!” He laug

    When we finally got home, I wanted to take a shower right away. I told Daniel what I was doing and he smiled, “Go ahead, love.” I was halfway up the steps when I heard a couple of gasps. I chuckled to myself, ‘He’s telling Annie and Amy about what happened.’ I continued up the stairs and went straig

    I bought the building next to my shop the following day. It was perfect. The shop itself had plenty of floor space for all of the pieces that were complete, along with a few of the new pieces that I had completed during the week. I relied on Daniel, Jace and Tony for most of the heavy lifting. I onl
