The next day, Meridian Legal partners building was packed than it should be with many making their way to the courtroom for a very heated court hearing.

The courtroom was the kind that had seen enough drama to be bored by it, high ceilings, dark wood panels. By the time Lauren walked in on this fine tuesday morning, the gallery was already half full and the air had the particular charge it got when both sides of a case actually believed they could win.

  • The Scorned Wife’s Revenge: Claimed By His Ruthless Uncle   In Love With You : So Crazy.

    Two days later, the city felt like it was turning into fuzzy town, all because of the Greystone Charity Ball.The Greystone Charity Ball was one of the city's most anticipated events of the year. It was held annually at the Vantage Grand hotel. A hotel so ancient and so unapologetically beautiful that walking through its doors felt like stepping into a world that had decided effort was worth it. Every major name in business, fashion, medicine and old-money society passed through those doors every November and this year was no different.Except that this year, Ava Sterling walked in on Damien Cole's arm.She wore a midnight blue gown, sleeveless, with a deep cowl back and a skirt that moved like water when she walked. She had simple jewelry on and her hair was up. She had spent less time getting ready but was getting a lot of mouth-watering stares right from home.Damien was already in the foyer when she came downstairs, he was dressed in a black tuxedo, talking quietly to Lucas.

  • The Scorned Wife’s Revenge: Claimed By His Ruthless Uncle   Family Problem.

    By seven on Friday evening, students were dressed stylishly to attend the Freshers Night party for Silver Crest Academy which had been organized by a group of senior students whose collective ambition and their parents' collective wealth had combined to produce something genuinely impressive. They had taken over the rooftop of the Elara Boutique Hotel, two blocks away from the school, and filled it with fairy lights and a DJ and the kind of atmosphere that made everyone feel temporarily like a better version of themselves.Gavin came with April as his date, he had asked her four days ago and she had said yes because he was her friend and saying no would have required an explanation she wasn't ready to give.April was dressed and ready, she had silver earrings on and a black dress that she'd borrowed from Ava's wardrobe the last time she visited and had never quite returned. She looked good and she knew it and she told herself that had nothing to do with the fact that a certain subst

    The next day, Meridian Legal partners building was packed than it should be with many making their way to the courtroom for a very heated court hearing.The courtroom was the kind that had seen enough drama to be bored by it, high ceilings, dark wood panels. By the time Lauren walked in on this fine tuesday morning, the gallery was already half full and the air had the particular charge it got when both sides of a case actually believed they could win.This one was an inheritance dispute between a wealthy family, due to a contested will, and a paper trail that had kept three sets of lawyers busy for eight months. Lauren represented the eldest daughter, a woman in her fifties named Mrs. Jules Briggs who had watched a will she had witnessed being signed get challenged by her two younger half-siblings claiming undue influence.The opposing counsel was Victor Kane and this was the fourth time she was standing against him while winning three to zero..Victor walked in two minutes after s

  • The Scorned Wife’s Revenge: Claimed By His Ruthless Uncle   Thinking.

    The same day, Lauren was having a busy day. Her office on the fourteenth floor of Meridian Legal Partners building had a view of the city that she had earned one difficult case at a time. She was mid-sentence on a call when her door opened and Ava walked in, closed it behind her, dropped her bag on the chair across the desk and sat down looking tired.Lauren held up one finger, finished her sentence and ended the call while Ava didn't interrupt till she finally looked at her."Talk," she said and noticed Ava had come straight from the fashion house. She was still in her work clothes, pencil mark on her forearm, hair slightly escaped from where it was pinned showing how stressed she was."I’ve told you this before but it's still there, I can't stop thinking about him," Ava said while Lauren waited."Every single thing," Ava continued, pressing her fingers to her temple. "The way he stands when he's reading something. The exact sound his footsteps make on the stairs when he comes home

  • The Scorned Wife’s Revenge: Claimed By His Ruthless Uncle   Too Late.

    "Too late…too late?"Adrian muttered as he sat with those words like they were stones he couldn't put down. The city below him didn't care. It moved and breathed and hummed with the business of people who had places to be and things to feel, and he sat on his balcony above all of it with an empty glass and a head full of everything he had thrown away.It was mostly filled with thoughts of Ava.He pressed the back of his hand against his mouth and stared at nothing. He had replayed that last conversation with Livia so many times it had started to feel like a dream he couldn't shake. The baby wasn't his. Had never been his.Everything that had unraveled, the divorce, Ava leaving, the months of watching her rebuild herself into someone he almost didn't recognize was all for nothing…all of it had happened because of a lie Livia told so perfectly he had never once questioned it and to think his bestfriend was the perpetrator and it annoyed him that his grandfather was against him ending

    Outside the Sterling Mansion, the night was unusualy still and it made Livia fill uneasy. Maybe it was her pregnancy hormones or maybe it was the fact that she was worried about her secret being exposed.“Oh God, I hope that doctor doesn't rat me out”. She groaned and held her head.“Can I at least get you something chill to drink?” A male voice came from the kitchen “Yeah…sure”. Livia responded but the apartment door clicked and Adrain walked in, shocking her.His expression showed that all was not well.“Adrian…”. Livia stuttered while he walked closer“Livia…”. Adrain called“Here's your chilled…” The voice in the kitchen paused as Adrain turned to him. It was Ethan.“Adrian…”. He muttered, visibly shaken“Shouldn't you be in San Francisco?”Adrain asked not understanding anything but Livia pulled his hands.“Adrian…we need to talk”. She firmly said and dragged him to the room while Ethan used the opportunity to leave the building.As soon as Livia shut the door, Adrain's patience
