Emma was getting uncomfortable in her seat. How had Kylian gotten his hands on all that? It was probably Francis, but how had he gotten to Francis?

Her attorney was totally unprepared for that sudden twist in the case. It had been a walkover up until then. That womanโ€™s testimony had them all dumbfoundedโ€” she, her mother, and her attorney. They were all thrown in disarray.

โ€œEmma, when did this happen?โ€ Her mother, Amelia questioned from behind in a whisper. She had no answer that could appease her motherโ€™s curiosity without implicating her as well. Her lips seemed to shut off their own accord.

She knew she was about to face cruel music which she hadnโ€™t rehearsed its dance steps. The look on Kylianโ€™s face when he said, โ€œItโ€™s over,โ€ almost made her lose it in front of the judge. She would be giving herself away before the case was over if she hadnโ€™t gotten her act together.

โ€œYou could have told me about this,โ€ her attorney whispered faintly in a way that meant that she was really in big

I am not satisfied with the outcome. She still gets to walk away from everything that she has done to her half-sister. I still think she needs some jail time or something.

    โ€œI look stupid!โ€ Ollie exclaimed in a mild tone of disappointment as she looked in the mirror one more time. โ€œI look like a total goof.โ€โ€œNo, Ollie, you donโ€™t,โ€ Chloe protested as it had taken her and the costumier a considerable amount of time and energy to get her in that. โ€œYou look elegant.โ€Chloe looked over at the other girls on the bridal train as they silently complained about Ollie being way too vocal about her own complaints. And her dress too.โ€œElegant? Are you kidding me right now?โ€ Ollie seemed like sheโ€™d never be satisfied, even though she was just a few minutes from walking down the aisle.โ€œIโ€™m not.

    Chloe pushed the doorbell of the door where she once lived. It felt like ages sheโ€™d been at Emmaโ€™s doorstep. The number of calls and the text messages she had gotten at the wedding made it feel like it had been really something urgent.Sheโ€™d had her doubts about making that visit. The last time she remembered, Emma had wanted her downfall so badly that she had gone to the extent of allying with dangerous criminals, even putting herself in danger in the process.After a while of waiting, she pushed the doorbell yet again. She heard some footsteps trotting steadily in her direction. She held her breath in anticipation as she couldnโ€™t tell why she had been called out there.โ€œChloe,โ€ Emma said, โ€œYouโ€™re here.โ€ She hadnโ€™t expected to see her after all.โ€œYeah, Iโ€™m here.โ€ Chloeโ€™s eyes ran a quick subtle scan through her. Her wandering eyes were caught by the little bump in her belly. She was shocked as she hadnโ€™t been told that part of the story. Maxโ€ฆcome on. He had sadly left out that import

    โ€œDonโ€™t you have the balls to tell me what I have done wrong? Why are you treating me this way, Kylian? What have I done to deserve this? Talk to me!โ€ Chloe had yelled at her husband, Kylian Kincaid, while trying to stop him in his tracks."You filthy pretender! I should have known better than to be deceived by your looks and lies!" Chloe Kincaid heard Kylian's words echo loud and clear in her head, as he stormed out of the house. Those were his words to her three days ago, when she had yelled at him to tell her what was happening between them.His words felt like a thousand needles in Chloe's heart, and thinking and crying about them didn't ease the pain. She felt like she was given a front-row seat as she watched her marriage disintegrate into a living hell. watching, helpless to do anything about it.Chloe sat down on the king-sized bed she once shared with her husband, Kylian Kincaid. She stared at it morosely and sighed sadly."How time flies," she muttered to herself, running her

    Chloe scanned through her side of the wardrobe as she towel-dried herself and pushed down the pang of pain as she glanced at Kylian's side of the wardrobe, resisting the urge to run her fingers over his neatly pressed suits. It would just make her cry all over again, and she didn't want that.Just as it has been for a while now, Chloe is rarely in the mood for heavy outfits and makeup. having lost the drive to look good since Kylian stopped looking at her the way he used to.She slid into comfy jeans and a casual shirt and didn't bother to check out her reflection in the mirror before leaving the walk-in closet. As she headed for the bedroom door, Chloe grabbed her purse and phone and slipped into her sneakers.She was late, but she didn't care. She was the owner of THE GIRLY LUX. A fashion house that produced one of the best lingerie brands ever sold in New York. While Emma's fashion store, LA BEVA, produced the same things, they have both been successful in their own rights. There i

    "Good morning, ma'am," Chorused greetings followed Chloe as she pushed through the revolving doors of her fashion store with two cups of coffee in hand.It was a big store. Chloe's sweat and toil. She always felt a sense of pride whenever she walked into it. It was proof of her hard work. She was proof that she was not a quitter.She merely nodded at her workers and made her way to her office at the back. walking past rows of assorted lingerie, pajamas, and bikinis of different colors, sizes, and fabrics, hanging on racks and mannequins for display.A few customers were walking down the aisles of clothing, giggling and whispering, but Chloe wasn't even remotely happy. Though Emma had lifted her spirits and she had made plans to get Kylian back, there was still a sliver of doubt in her gut.a sliver that won't go away.She reached her office, and just before she tried to set the cups she was holding on the floor to reach the key in her bag, brown hands shot out of thin air and took the

    Kylian refused to look at the woman he called his wife. From the sound of her voice, he knew she was crying, and while a part of him wanted to go to her and hold her, he stayed put and pinned his eyes on the papers in front of him.She's getting what she deserves, he told himself."Y-you don't mean this," she said, trying to assure herself."Chloe, what part of my wanting a divorce don't you understand?" Kylian asked. He knew he was being mean to her and had never spoken to her that way, but he didn't care.She had lied to him! Made a fool of him!"Why, Kylian? I've never done anything to deserve this."His head whipped up at her statement, and his eyes held daggers. "You deserve much worse. You pretentious cheat!"Chloe took a step back, her lips quivering as his cruel words hit her like bullets. "Don't talk to me like that. You know me, Ky. You love me.""No. No. I don't." He pointed at her as he said each word. "I could never love someone so shallow and filthy... Marrying you, Chlo

    Emma left the sitting room and came back a minute later with a bottle of vodka. She plopped down beside her cousin, opened the bottle, drank a mouthful, and passed it to Chloe."You know," Emma started, "I think the divorce is for the best."Beside her, Chloe gulped down the vodka and asked gloomily. "What?""Your marriage was already an unhappy one. You cried every day," Emma said, taking the bottle from Chloe. "There was no way it could've lasted, and even if it did, you would never be happy, Chloe, and you deserve happiness." She took a long swig and passed it back to Chloe.Chloe miserably drank and hiccupped. "I called him a monster, Em.""And that's what he is," Emma agreed. "Don't go thinking you don't deserve happiness simply because you called him a monster."Chloe took another mouthful and passed it to her. "It hurts, Em.""I know, but it won't hurt forever. It'll pass. Get a divorce, take half of his net worth, and travel to someplace nice and...""I didn't sign for alimony

    Chloe could see why the girl would think that. She had left her office in a hurry and hadn't returned her calls or texts.What could a seventeen-year-old possibly know about love and heartbreak?"Calm down, Ollie. I'm not in any kind of danger. I'm just dealing with some things right now.""Dealing with what?" Ollie gasped over the phone. "OMG! Are you pregnant?""No, I'm not--" But Ollie no longer heard her; the girl was on a roll."Because that would explain your absence, the way you looked unwell, and you're also ignoring me. Pregnant women tend to need their men to do everything for them.""Ollie, I'm notโ€”" Chloe frowned."Oh my gosh, can I come to visit? You forgot your purse here last week, so I can use that as an excuse. The girls say you live in a mansion and have servants for everything. Oh, can I be the fun aunt? Because I know you wouldn't let me be the godmother while Emma is around. I'm great with kids, so...โ€"Iโ€™m not pregnant, Ollie. I'm going through a divorce!" Chloe

    "Donโ€™t worry,โ€ Kylianโ€™s attorney told him not to do the one thing that his mind had been doing subconsciously since heโ€™d set foot in the courtroom. โ€œYouโ€™ll be fine.โ€โ€œSure I will,โ€ he said, trying not to discourage his attorney before the grueling duel began. Either way, he wouldnโ€™t be that much of a mess. Worst case scenario, heโ€™d have to see Emma at their board meetings.โ€œKylian,โ€ his mother called out from behind in a whisper. โ€œKeep your composure out there, our fifty percent depends on it.โ€โ€œThank you, Mom, youโ€™re doing such a great job at easing me of the pressure of the moment.

His heartbeat surged forcefully with each stop and turn of the vehicle.Most of all, he hoped the resistance they had predicted would what theyโ€™d be faced with. Heโ€™d heard stories of how vicious the Mexicans could be, and he didnโ€™t want the mission to be a continuation of that tale.โ€œAlright,โ€ he finally got the courage to speak up amid the men in the large trunk of the van, he was about to attempt to make them not feel what he was feeling.

    Kylian tapped on the door, hoping that heโ€™d somehow made it to the right door, following Mayaโ€™s directions to her place.The block of flats had way more homes than it appeared to have while viewing it from the outside. One could easily get lost in there. It had him wondering how the inhabitants kept from mistaking another door for theirs.He tapped yet again. He heard some faint footsteps approaching the door and expected to see Mayaโ€™s dazzling face. He could hear hands working desperately at the lock and that made him brim with anticipation.Finally, he thought, till the door opened for him to see a tall macho man with overgrown beards and tattoos scattered all over his body. The shock from seeing the stranger made him almost unable to speak. He had heavy rock music pounding in his apartment.โ€œCan I help you mate?โ€ his deep voice could make anybodyโ€™s knees buckle with frightful intimidation.โ€œSorryโ€ฆI came to the wrong door,โ€ Kylian broke out in an uncoordinated stutter, โ€œI was lookin
