Chapter Eight: The Confrontation

last update Last Updated: 2025-12-09 19:17:30

“And if this is about the divorce settlement,” she said calmly, “then let’s meet in court on Monday.”

“What?”

His reaction was instant. Shock spread across his face like a slap he didn’t see coming.

She narrowed her eyes on him. Why did he look so surprised? Hadn’t he received the divorce papers yet? She gave them directly to Mrs. Rawlings to deliver to him. So what was this performance?

He straightened a little, glancing left and right as if searching for someone, or something, to blame. Then his eyes returned to her—only now, he looked strangely amused.

“You’re serious about the divorce thing?”

She scoffed and folded her arms across her chest. “I don’t think anyone jokes about a divorce agreement.” Then she added, with a firm frown, “And yes. I’m dead serious.”

He stared at her with that ridiculous amused expression, like this was some kind of dramatic act she was putting on. Like this was a scene in a movie and he was waiting for the punchline.

What does he think this is?

    Dreston’s bodyguards arrived later, heavily built men moving with firm steps. Right behind them were Garry and Ray. Tina came last, her face pale and her feet wobbling as if she might collapse at any second. Her eyes were fixed on Dreston, watching every move he made. Dreston didn’t look at any of them. His anger was locked only on Merrick. “How dare someone like you touch my wife that way?” Dreston growled. His voice was loud, sharp, and full of accusation. It cut through the quiet night. Everyone froze for a second, except Merrick, who clenched his jaw tightly. He was trying not to lose his patience. “As you can see,” Merrick said slowly, still holding Cassienne’s arm, “she can barely stand on her own, and—” “And whose fault is that?” Dreston snapped, cutting him off. His voice was filled with fury. “It’s your fault. You made all of them drunk.” Dreston’s eyes moved from Merrick to the backseat of the waiting SUV. Daisy and Aurora lay slumped inside, completely knocked out, s

  • When Love Finds Its Way Back    Chapter Thirteen: A Jealous Husband.

    The night grew darker, and the bright lights inside the club kept moving, but Dreston’s mood had changed completely. He was no longer the cheerful man who arrived with his friends. His face was stiff, his jaw tight, and his eyes were cold. Tina also felt different. She felt irritated, confused, and embarrassed. The whole reason they came to the club was to have fun—now gone. Dreston felt something he hadn’t felt in a long time. He felt little and powerless. He missed being in control of everything, especially when it came to Cassienne. He missed the woman who used to tremble just by seeing him. He missed the way she would look at him with fear and respect. He missed the effect his voice had on her, and how she would always react whenever he spoke. But tonight… she acted like he didn’t even exist. He finally understood what had changed her. The problem wasn’t her alone. It was her friends—those old friends she had been spending time with. Especially Merrick. That man irritated h

    Cassienne forced a small smile as she looked at Tina. “Oh, hi, Tina,” she said softly. Tina crossed her arms and lifted her chin. “I’m sorry, but this is such a strange surprise. Seeing you here, in a place like this?” Her tone carried a soft laugh as she swung her silky, long hair back. “I don’t know you to be one of those people who socialise.” She said it on purpose. Tina always wanted to pick a fight with Cassienne, especially when she saw her sitting confidently. But tonight, Cassienne didn’t have the strength or the interest to argue. Her emotions were already too heavy, and she didn’t want Tina to pull her mood down. Instead of replying rudely, Cassienne simply smiled again, a slow and calm smile. She leaned her head gently on Merrick’s broad shoulder and said, “I am sure you have better things to do, Tina, because honestly… I don’t think anyone cares about your opinion of me.” The words stung Tina straight to her pride. Her eyes widened in disbelief. She wasn’t used to

    Cassienne had cut her cake and fed each of her friends. Her smile was bright and real, different from the tired one she wore earlier. Being with her friends brought her energy back. It felt like she could breathe again. “How did you know I was here?” she finally asked, wiping cake crumbs from her fingers. Merrick chuckled softly. He set his dessert fork down and leaned back comfortably in his chair. “We figured you’d be here since you’re no longer in the Tremont mansion,” he said honestly. The cheerful mood faded immediately. Cassienne’s smile slowly disappeared, replaced by a sad and distant look. The memory of what had pushed her to leave that house hit her again like a cold wave. “I’m sorry you had to find out that way,” she whispered, looking down. Daisy’s eyes softened. “Are you okay?” she asked in a voice filled with concern. “Yes, I’m fine,” Cassienne replied, though her voice trembled a little. “I think we’re really done this time.” She swallowed and added, “Besides, I’

  • When Love Finds Its Way Back    Chapter Ten: A Time To Shine

    The silence on Dreston’s side of the phone grew longer and longer. He could barely breathe. He still could not believe what he had just heard. Why was Cassienne suddenly pushing things this far? Why was she behaving like a different person? How did he live with her for five whole years and never see this side of her? Cassienne had always been calm, peaceful and soft-spoken. Even when she was hurting, she would smile and pretend everything was fine. So what changed? Why was she acting like a stranger now? “Mr. Dreston?” his lawyer called, trying to check if the line was still connected. “I’m still here,” Dreston replied quietly. His voice was too heavy. “Just ignore it.” Tina could not hear the exact words, but she knew the conversation was about Cassienne. Her heart beat with excitement and impatience. She could not wait for the divorce to be completed. She had waited too long already. But at the same time, something confused her. She didn’t understand Dreston anymore. Why was h

  • When Love Finds Its Way Back    Chapter Nine: A Conflicting Mind

    Tina was so angry that she could not speak. Her mouth opened, but no words came out. This had never happened to her before. Tina always had something to say. She always knew how to defend herself. But now she felt empty, weak, and embarrassed. She felt ashamed that she could not give Cassienne a reply. How dare Cassienne call her a mistress? How dare she talk about her future child like that? Her chest burned with pain and anger, and yet she stood there frozen. Dreston was also speechless, but for him, it was different. He was shocked—completely shocked. The woman who had just spoken to him was not the Cassienne he had lived with for five years. The Cassienne he knew was gentle and quiet. She never raised her voice. She never insulted anyone. She was patient, calm, and too soft to hurt even a fly. So who was the woman who had stood there with such harsh words? Who was that woman with fire in her eyes? He could not understand it. Nothing actually made sense. And another question
