We ended up sitting with them. The girls took over one side of the table, quickly getting caught up in their own conversation while Alexander and I sat opposite each other.

“It’s still so weird looking at you,” Jane said, leaning her elbows on the table and staring at Kelly. “Like, your voice sounds exactly the same as it does on our video calls, but actually sitting next to you feels completely fake.”

Kelly laughed, shaking her head. “I know right? When we were at the airport, I thought I was

  • The Wife He underestimated    The Legal Battle 2

    I didn't wait for morning. I couldn't. Leaving a message like that sitting on my phone all night would have kept me awake anyway, tossing and turning while my mind came up with the worst possible scenarios.I walked into the small downstairs study and closed the wooden door behind me so the sound wouldn't travel upstairs to Kelly's room. I leaned against the edge of the desk, my fingers trembling slightly as I tapped Thomas's name and pressed the phone to my ear.He answered on the second ring. “Sallie. I saw you were typing.”“I just got your message.” I skipped the greetings. “What's happened? Has Andrew's lawyer responded?”“Yes. His formal response came in earlier, and there's been an update from the court as well.”I straightened. “Tell me.”“Andrew isn't backing down from either of the claims we discussed. His lawyer has formally challenged the division of assets and submitted his claim to Evans Global. He's also proceeding with the custody application.”I closed my eyes briefly

When we were at the airport, I thought I was hallucinating. We’ve been talking online for almost a year and now you’re just right here.”“Have you picked a school yet?” Jane asked, quickly changing the subject. “Which one are you going to?”“We literally just got here today,” Kelly reminded her, gesturing to the menu. “My mom hasn't even finished unpacking our clothes yet. I don't think she's picked a school.”“You should totally come to mine,” Jane said immediately, her eyes lighting up. “It’s really good. The teachers aren't completely a

    I gripped the phone, trying to make sense of what Rachel had just told me. I even started pacing."Rachel, think carefully," I said. "Describe him to me again.""Sallie, I already told you—""I know, but I need you to be sure. Are you saying he looked exactly like Andrew? The same face, hairstyle, build? Everything?""Yes. Everything.""Not just someone who looked like him?""No, Sallie. I know your husband. I've worked with him for years. I've seen him almost every week." She paused. "The man behind that glass partition had the same sharp jawline, the same dark hair, even the same broad shoulders. I wouldn't have thought twice about it being Andrew if I hadn't seen the real Andrew arrive at the building."I stopped pacing."Wait. You saw Andrew arrive?""Yes. He came in from the parking garage with his client. That's why I know I'm not mistaken. There were two men who looked exactly alike in that building."I rubbed my forehead."An identical twin?" I asked, more to myself than to he

    I closed my eyes and let out a tired sigh. There was a pause on the other end of the line. I waited, but she didn't speak immediately.Whatever she was about to tell me, I had a feeling it wasn't going to make my evening any easier.“Sallie, Andrew has been telling everyone his own version of what happened,” Rachel said, her voice dripping with pure frustration. “He’s spinning this whole story to all your mutual friends, your old neighbors, and basically every business contact who will listen. He’s telling them that you abandoned the marriage out of nowhere. "According to him, you packed up Kelly and ran away in the middle of the night without giving him a single warning or a chance to talk. She continued, "He’s acting like he was left completely in the dark, a tragic figure forced to handle all the emotional and legal consequences by himself.”I felt a familiar anger settle over me. My fingers tightened around the phone as I listened.Andrew had always known how to make himself

    I leaned back against the headboard, the phone pressed against my ear. The silence from Thomas’s end made me more anxious by the second.“Sallie, Andrew is claiming part of the company,” Thomas said, his voice taking on a serious, professional tone. “He filed a formal claim an hour ago.”A bitter laugh escaped my lips. “On what grounds? He stole it from me. I had the legal right to take it back, and we both know it.”“He isn't denying that you started the company or provided the initial funds,” Thomas explained. I heard papers rustling on his end. “His argument is that you provided the capital, but he was the one who built the business into what it is today." he continued."He's claiming that his work, his management, and the decisions he made contributed to the company's growth. He's demanding a significant share or a substantial payout.”“He's insane,” I snapped. “He cheated, he lied, he ruined our marriage, and now he wants to take away my livelihood too?”“It gets worse,” Thomas

    I looked at the screen. It was an unknown number, and it wasn’t a WhatsApp call—just a direct, regular ring.I slid the icon to answer and pressed the phone to my ear. “Hello?”“Sallie.”The voice made my stomach drop instantly.“How did you get this number?” I demanded, my grip tightening on the phone. “I changed it before I left.”“Did you really think a new number would stop me from finding my wife and daughter?” Andrew asked, his voice entirely too calm. “You took Kelly and ran to another country, Sallie. Don’t you think that’s a bit dramatic?”“Dramatic?” I echoed, a bitter laugh escaping my throat. “I left a cheating husband, Andrew. There’s nothing dramatic about getting away from you.”“I’m tired of hearing about that,” he said, his tone shifting into genuine irritation. “Most importantly, I need you to look at the bigger picture. I provided for you. I treated you and our daughter well." he paused, I could hear him pacing from the other end. "I gave you a comfortable, luxury
