I am not a lawyer or a law student. Please remember what goes on below is just me trying to be an author. No hate, please. The next two weeks went by smoothly and how I wanted until I got a letter from the court. I was expected to be at Annalise’s and Alistair’s court hearing. It was a Monday morning and Kai and I were already dressed and on our way to the courthouse. He would steal glances at me as he drove, probably checking to see if I was okay. I was not.When he parked the car on arrival, it became worse. A plethora of things ran through my head at the thought of seeing the two criminals who made my life a living hell. It made me uneasy. Kai stepped out of the car and I was the same, still unable to pull myself together. I was a mess internally.He went around the car and stopped in front of me. “Are you nervous?”“Yes.” I swallowed thickly, rubbing my hand on the pencil maroon skirt I was wearing. “I don’t want to be here.”“I’ll be right beside you the whole time. D

I did not waste a single second more with him. I walked around him and made my way to the courtroom. When I went in, I saw Kai, Ricky and Jay speaking to Elvira while Arianna busied herself by speaking to Scarlett.“Congratulations, Elena.” Elvira told me, holding out her hand for me to shake once I had gotten close to them.“Thank you for doing a great job. I appreciate it so much.”“You don’t have to thank me for anything. You deserve happiness.”I gave her a smile. “Thanks.”She averted her eyes to Kai. “I can guarantee they’ll get at least twenty years of prison time, so they won’t bother you for a long time.”Twenty years wasn’t much, but it was okay for me. I just wanted them to suffer and pay for their crimes.“It’s good enough.” Kai responded.“The judge will be in soon.” She informed us. “I’ll go to my seat now.”“Okay.”Kai and I returned to our seats, and this time, Quinn was nowhere to be seen. Good for her. I didn’t want to see her betraying face. It irritated me.The bai

CHAPTER 46ELENA’S POINT OF VIEW The flight to Estonia was the craziest, most mind-blowing flight of my life, with Kai confessing his feelings and opening up to me about his ex. To top it all off, Ricky cried in front of me and, to be honest, it was surprising. I never imagined I’d see him cry. Kai could not understand why he was crying. I couldn’t, too. It wasn’t as if she broke up with him. She only moved to Spain because of her academics.Ricky had said. “You don’t understand. Kayleigh is gorgeous. She’s everything. Elegant, beautiful, and caring. Guys are going to try and get her.”I still didn’t see his reason. All he needed to do was trust her.Kai then suggested. “You can move to Spain if it bothers you so much.”“I can’t leave my business here and besides, my siblings need me here.” He’d said.In the end, we let him cry his heart out while we comforted him.After about three hours of fun and crazy, the jet landed. A car was already waiting for us. Jay took the whee

I waited in the car for several minutes, waiting for Arianna to come out of the pub with either good or bad news. The bad news being he rejected the gifts. Fortunately, she came out empty-handed, wearing a bright smile. When she got into the car, she still hadn’t stopped smiling.“What got you smiling like that?”“Your brother is such a sweet person.” She said. “And good-looking, too. If he wasn’t married and if I wasn’t with Jay, I’d shoot my shots because damn!” she slapped her thigh. “That man is damn fine. His wife is extremely lucky.”It made me happy to hear her say such positive things about Andre.“Did he say anything?”“He said he was thankful and if it was possible, he’d like to meet up.”My eyebrows shot up. “Really? He really said that?”“Yeah. Do you want to go in?”“I want to, badly, but I’m afraid he’ll judge me.”“Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you? That man doesn’t seem like he could harm a fly. Why would he judge you?”I said nothing. Maybe if I had a

I went into the living room to join Kai and Andre. Aretta was still not down. Man, having a baby seemed stressful just being with them for about an hour. I wasn’t certain if I wanted a baby or not. I couldn’t imagine having to feed another mouth that wasn’t mine, be sleep deprived and always on alert. My brain could never. I’d probably pass out on the street due to stress. “What are you asking him now, Andre?” I sat on the armchair next to Kai’s. “Just getting to know him.” He looked at Kai. “Right?” “Of course.” I narrowed my eyes at Kai. “You’re lying.” “No, I’m not.” “Your shaky pupils tell a different story.” “Leave the guy alone, Elena.” Andre crossed his legs. “We were talking about you?” “What about me?” “Just curious about stuff.” He drummed his thigh. “Stuff between us guys.” I rolled my eyes. “Mm-hmm.” Andre suddenly became serious. “Before I get to ask.” His gaze was on Kai. “Do you two live together?” “Yes.” Kai answered. Andre shut his eyes and mumbled somethi
