YULIA

The courtroom was already crowded when my team and I walked in.

“Ready?” Mr. Harrison asked.

“Yes.”

I tightened my grip on the leather folder and took a slow breath before heading to the defence table.

I had handled criminal matters before and knew how to stand before a judge, present an argument, and keep emotion out of my voice.

But this case was different. Kendrick was here.

The evidence against Nikolai was far more complicated than the prosecution had initially made it out to be.

    KENDRICKI adjusted my shirt’s cuff as I stood beside the bed, making sure everything was back in place before I left. Yulia was still lying beneath the duvet, her hair spread across the pillow. She watched me quietly, her eyes following every movement as I buttoned my shirt and slipped my watch onto my wrist.I caught her staring and winked. She immediately looked away.I chuckled. “You missing me already?”“Yes,” she pouted.I grinned, leaned down, and kissed her. I pulled back, and she smiled a small smile.“I went to see Nikolai this morning,” she admitted.I bobbed my head. “What did he say?”“He mentioned someone named Anton Haywood.”“Anton Haywood?”“Yes. Nikolai said Anton works with Alexander and that they're friends. Apparently, Anton was the one who recommended Nikolai to Alexander because he thought Nikolai could help with Alexander's business.”I nodded slowly. “That makes the connection interesting.”“That's what I thought.”“What else did he say?”“He said Anton knew

  • The Wrong Kind Of Love   CHAPTER 143: I Tried To Forget You

    YULIAAs our lips met, everything I'd been trying to keep under control slipped away. For four years, I had convinced myself that I had moved on and learned how to exist without Kendrick.But sitting there with his arms around me, feeling the warmth of his body beneath mine, I realized something I had spent years refusing to admit.I had never stopped loving him. Not even close.My fingers curled into the front of his shirt as I kissed him back, my heart pounding so hard I was certain he could feel it. He held me firmly but gently, as if he was afraid that if he loosened his arms, I might disappear again.I pulled back for a second, just enough to breathe. His forehead rested against mine.“I want you now,” I whispered.I was done fighting it. I wanted him. I wanted to stop thinking about the consequences for one night and simply let myself feel everything I had spent years trying to bury.Kendrick gently tilted my chin up, his eyes searching mine. “You sure?”“You scared?” I teased.

    KENDRICKMy office had finally gone quiet. For most of the afternoon, I had been buried in meetings, emails, reports, and updates from the team working on the Nikolai case. I checked the clock and realized I hadn't looked away from my laptop screen in nearly two hours.My phone buzzed on my desk.Victor.As soon as I answered, his face appeared on the screen. “My man!”I chuckled. “What's up with you?”“Nothing much.” Victor winked, then said. “I met Yulia on Friday.”My mouth curved into a smile. “Did you?”“Yes.” He narrowed his eyes at me. “Why didn't you tell me she was back?”I shrugged. “Maybe I wanted to see how long it would take you to figure it out.”Victor burst out laughing. “You're an idiot.”“Yeah, whatever.” I sank back in my chair. “Where did you see her?” “At Delphine's salon.”I nodded. That explained it. “Did she look good?”Victor gave me a look. “That's what you're asking?”“I'm curious.”“You're hopeless.”I laughed quietly.Victor suddenly smirked. “Oh, by the

    YULIAThe new week started with another visit to the prison. When I entered the visiting room, Nikolai was already seated across the table. He looked tired, but his expression changed when he saw me.“Good morning,” I said, taking the chair opposite him.“Good morning, Ms. Adley.”I placed my folder on the table and opened it. “I have an update for you.”He immediately straightened. “Good or bad?”“Potentially good.”His shoulders relaxed slightly.“Kendrick Fernsby and his team have been reviewing the digital evidence again,” I explained. “They've found several things that don't match the prosecution's theory.”Nikolai listened carefully.“The device used to access the system wasn't one of your registered devices,” I continued. “There are also irregularities with the digital signature attached to one of the documents. You said you never created that document, correct?”“Correct.”“There are also timestamps that don't make sense. Activity connected to London, Moscow, and New York appe

    KENDRICKIt was Saturday afternoon, and I sat in my home office with my laptop open. The house was unusually quiet without Nalani hovering around me, which was exactly what I needed for a few hours. I spent most of the morning dealing with company matters, but my mind kept drifting back to the Nikolai case.The more my team uncovered, the less straightforward everything became. I put my phone on speaker, as Matthew went through the latest findings.“We've found something else,” he said.I twirled my pen, focused. “What did you find?”“There was another device connected to the network shortly before the transactions were made. We've traced part of its activity, and it doesn't match anything we've previously associated with Nikolai.”My expression sharpened. “Are you sure?”“Yes. We're still verifying everything, but the evidence could help establish that Nikolai wasn't the person operating the system.”I sat forward. “That could be important.”“It is. If we can establish the chain pro

    YULIAI sat comfortably in the passenger seat while Adeline drove through the busy London streets. “We're almost there,” Adeline said.“Great. I desperately need this.”Taking advantage of my day off, I was headed to the salon to snip a few ends and switch up my hairstyle. I needed something that made me feel refreshed.Hair, nails, and a few hours of pampering with my best friend.“I know. Your hair has been begging for attention.”I touched the ends of my hair. “I was thinking of cutting it slightly.”“Finally.”I laughed. “I knew you'd agree.”“Of course. You've been talking about cutting it for weeks.”I opened my mouth to respond, but my phone began ringing.My stomach fluttered at the sight of Kendrick’s name displayed on the screen.“I know you're going to answer that,” Adeline stated, peeking at the screen. “See her blushing.”I tried not to smile. “I am not.”The phone continued ringing.“Just answer him,” she blurted, laughing.“Fine.” I slid the green icon, and his voice

    YULIA“We’re almost there, baby girl.” My father watched me as I angled towards the side window, lost in my thoughts.“I still can’t believe you eloped and got married.” I glanced at him, and he was smiling.“Well… I can’t be single forever. I’m ready to settle down and spend the rest of my life wi

His expression barely changed, but his eyes said otherwise . “Then prepare yourself. Yo
