In the meantime, at Faith Church, Brooklyn was sitting opposite Pastor Gabriel for counseling. She looked at Pastor Gabriel, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.

She whispered, her voice breaking, and said, “Pastor Gabriel, on my birthday, I registered my marriage with a man I thought loved me.

Unbeknownst to me, it was all a lie. After we registered our marriage, he told me that I was nothing but his wife on paper.

I hate him for playing with my feelings. I feel like my whole life is a fraud

  • Wasted Tears   Chapter 57 Deep-Seated Arrogance

    Hiram and his brother, Patrice, walked calmly into the living room and greeted the elders with respect.Patrice looked at his grandfather and said, “Grandpa, I support your decision to teach my sister a lesson. However, the Cartwright family is not heartless; we always protect our own.Please allow her to take a bag of clothes and her phone so she can at least secure a safe place to stay.”A rare, proud smile broke across their grandfather's face as he looked at Patrice, and he replied, “Thank you, my precious grandson, for reminding me about Ubuntu.He then turned to his daughter-in-law, and he said, his voice dropping back to an authoritative frequency, “Vivian, go upstairs and pack a basic travel bag for Vivica. Give it to the bodyguard to take outside, along with her phone.”A look of pure astonishment crossed Vivian's pale face, completely moved by her second son’s capacity for mercy despite the bleeding wound on his forehead.She wiped her tear-stained cheeks, quickly composed he

    Vivica emerged ten minutes later, deliberately moving at a snail's pace to assert her independence. She stepped into the living room, folded her arms across her chest in a defiant posture, and asked, “Are you looking for me, Daddy?”Her father didn't tolerate her smug demeanour for a second, and he barked with terrifying authority, “Sit down.”A flicker of irritation immediately crossed Vivica's face, her jaw tightening as she replied flatly, “I’d rather stand.”Before her father could erupt, her grandfather’s cane came down on the marble floor with a sharp, deafening thud.He shot her a cold gaze, and he commanded, his authority instantly freezing the room, “You will sit when your father tells you to sit, Vivica. You have been breaking your sacred promises to this family and dragging our name through the gutter.You will drop that arrogant posture this instant, or I will have security remove your assets from this estate before the sun sets.”Vivica glared back at her grandfather, her

    The moment Jason arrived home, his mother smiled brightly, and she asked, “How was your lunch with your lady friend, Son?”Jason looked at his mother with sadness in his eyes and replied, “Vivica insulted me in front of my friend, Mom.”Then he calmly handed his grandfather the restaurant's surveillance footage. The atmosphere in the living room shifted dramatically after they watched the surveillance footage.A surge of anger flared in his grandfather’s heart, so he pulled out his phone and dialled Mr Cartwright Senior’s number. When the call was connected, he said, “Grayson, you have to give me an explanation regarding your granddaughter’s behaviour.”Mr Cartwright Senior was completely caught off guard; the sheer venom in his old friend's voice caused him to freeze, and he asked, “What are you talking about, Benjamin?What on earth did Vivica do to provoke this kind of fury, old friend? If she has caused a scene, I assure you I will get to the bottom of it.” Then they hung up.Mr Ca

He had just concluded a strategic discussion with Judge Carter regarding his grandson’s mandatory counselling.They agreed to delay the state psychologist’s evaluation of his grandson and his granddaughter-in-law for the time being.Judge Carter indicated that no judge would grant a dissolution of the marriage until the couple completed their mandatory counselling.Mr James Senior’s steps halted; his stern gaze fixed on his family. He immediately noticed the intense panic written across his granddaughter Ziva's and his daughter-in-law's faces.He looked at them with unshakeable authority, his presence forcing them into a terrified stillness, and he said, “I heard you shouting at each other from the driveway. What is going on, Ruby?”Ruby shot her daughter a cold glare before turning to her father-in-law, and she replied, forcing her voice to remain steady, “It’s noth

    At His Wings restaurant, the atmosphere in the private suite was filled with a warm, lingering serenity. Jason stood up to pull back her chair, his eyes fixed on her with unshakeable devotion as she adjusted her backless red dress.Jason walked her out to the waiting valet, his hand mindfully shielding her head as she slid into the luxurious passenger seat of his sleek Maybach.The ride back to her apartment building was filled with a comfortable, healing silence; a beautiful memory that Jason would hold close to his heart forever.When they arrived at Brooklyn’s apartment, Jason gave her a warm, lingering smile, quietly wishing he could freeze time just to spend a few more minutes in her presence.Jason stepped gracefully out of the car and walked around to the passenger side.

However, I didn’t mean to hurt your brother, my son. I thought he would dodge.”Hiram grabbed tissues, then he wiped the blood on his brother’s face, and he asked, “Do you want me to take you to the hospital, brother?”Patrice shook his head, but he took the tissues from his eldest brother’s hand and wiped the blood from his face.Hiram looked at him and said, “I have been calling you for the last thirty minutes. Why didn’t you pick up your phone, Patrice?”Patrice pulled his phone from his suit jacket and replied, “Your beloved baby sister smashed my phone when I was trying to call the manager of His Wings restaurant.She told us that Preston’s wife assaulted her without any provocation.
