Unexpected Divorce Chapter 53: Royal Challenge
By morning, Jessie had already left for work by the time I woke up. I didn't need to clock in early today because of my upcoming appointment with the princess.As I swung my legs out of bed, a nagging feeling crept in that I was forgetting something important. That was when my eyes caught a small piece of paper pinned to the lamp on my nightstand. “I ran out and got some shower gel last night. You owe me big time.” An overwhelming sense of gratitude washed over me. Having a friend like her made everything easier.I took my time getting ready, slipping into a sophisticated outfit. I refused to let yesterday's drama ruin my confidence. Stepping out the door, I headed toward the Blue Diamond Hotel early, determined to make today a complete success.“Good morning. I’m here for my meeting with Princess Fedelma. I’m a senior designer representing Sweet Body,” I told the receptionist.After a quick confirmation call, the receptionist instructed me to wait.As I headed toward the seating area
Unexpected Divorce Chapter 52: Moment interrupted
At my insistence, Nathan pulled up outside Sweet Body so I could check out the designs for the presentation. I’d expected Jessie to have gone home by now, but the moment she saw me, she rushed forward and wrapped her arms around my me. I melted into the embrace. I hadn't realized how badly I needed her to hold me until she did..."I tried reaching Benedict; I couldn't get through.""It's okay," I said and pulled away with a forced small smile. “I’m here now.""You sure?"I nodded."You should go home.”She shook her head."I'll stay. I still have some work to finish."A brief squeeze of her hand was all the gratitude I could manage before walking into my office... The sketches for the royal wedding were already spread across my desk.I picked them up one by one. They were elegantly beautiful; excitement stirred inside me.Maybe tomorrow wouldn't be a disaster after all. I gathered the design sketch pad neatly, slipping it into my bag. I cast a quick glance around the room to make sur
Unexpected Divorce Chapter 51 Costly Justice
The cold steel bit into my wrists as they marched me into the precinct, my heart hammering wildly against my ribs. Behind the desk, the sergeant shuffled papers, his brief, judgmental glance making me want to scream that they had the wrong person. I was innocent, but to everyone here, I was already just another file. Detectives moved through the corridors like predators in their natural habitat.The wanted posters covering the walls got me thinking: how many of these fugitives were just hiding because nobody would ever believe their side of the story? I looked down at my trembling hand, praying for a different fate. I didn't belong in this nightmareI was processed, fingerprinted, and eventually led into the area as others, handcuffed, who had long since given up and resorted to staring at the floor.My chest tightened when I saw Mrs. Margaret sitting across the room, wrapped in a coat, her face marked with bruises. Dark patches colored her cheek and temple. One side of her lip was sw
Unexpected Divorce Chapter 50: Crowned to Chains
It was an extreme reaction coming from Mrs. Margaret I paced the office floor, my hands trembling as I replayed the scene in my head. I knew about her heart condition, and the last thing I wanted was for something terrible to happen because of me.The door suddenly swung open, making me flinch. Jessie strode in, her arms crossed. “Seriously, Anna, you are so good at disappearing and leaving me to foot the bill.”“I didn't mean to. I'm sorry. I'll pay you back,” I murmured, my voice hollow with distraction. “Did anything happen after I left? At the restaurant?Jessie’s expression hardened into a frown. “What do you mean?”“Was an ambulance called? Was anyone hurt? I rounded the desk, my knees shaking as I dropped into my chair.She stared at me, thoroughly baffled. “No. Nothing happened. Why?”The suffocating panic lifted instantly before my eyes drifted to the desk. The untitled folder portfolio wasn’t where I had left it. I frantically swept the papers on the surface, yanked the d
Unexpected Divorce Chapter 49: Victory, Taste Like Accusation
"Then let's test the public opinion, when they learn you’ve been sleeping with boys young enough to be your sons... Or better yet, when the wives of those men realize who has been warming their husbands' beds," Jessie interjectedThe words landed hard, making desperate panic leak into Martha’s eyes. She masked it instantly with her same cold arrogance"You honestly think you have what it takes to run Sweet Body?" she mocked, a slow, pitying shake of her head. "We’ll see about that."She walked out of the office, her heels striking the floor like a warning.“Don’t let her get to you. You’re going to do great.” Jessie said beside me.I dropped my box onto the desk. “What would you think… if you weren’t my friend?”"Why should I think of that?. You know what? People are cowards, honestly. Nobody has the spine to stand up to Nathan. If they're whispering, it's pure jealousy, end of story.""You held onto all that dirt about Martha and didn't think to mention it?"I pulled her attention aw
Unexpected Divorce Chapter 48: Chosen or Forsaken
“You don’t want it?” he looked at me, hunting for answers. I wavered, feeling completely exposed beneath his undivided attention“Nathan… I only started working there, and now I’m suddenly a senior designer? There are people who have spent years waiting for that opportunity. I can’t just take it from them.”“You worry about unnecessary things,” he murmured, entirely detached as his knife scraped across his plate with a sharp, metallic screech. “Or should I take this as a confession of incompetence? “I am not incompetent, that’s not what this is—”“Then it’s final.” He cut me off, leaving no room for argument. He reached for the linen napkin, casually dabbed his mouth slowly and composed as if he hadn’t just made a decision that would change my life.“Finish your breakfast,” he said, standing up. “I’m done.”He shrugged into his tailored blazer, adjusting his cuffs with the seamless efficiency of a man who ruled every room he entered.“I know you wouldn’t want my driver to drop you
