Semua Bab Dear Ex-Wife; Will You Marry Me, Again?: Bab 61 - Bab 70

KATERINA Despite the day being busy, I’m glad that at least something good came out of it. I didn't regret the exhaustion because the outcome was worth it. The sweet aroma wafted in the dining room, light talk and laugh filling the air. It has been a long time since I sat at a table like this and had a decent meal. I looked at the table and my lips curved into a smile. I raised the glass that was half filled with the amber liquid, “I would like to raise a glass to everyone present at this table.” I paused for a moment, darting my eyes to every single soul, a smile touching my lips. “Brenda, thank you for your support. Your testimony played a big role in the ruling. I know that…it wasn't easy staring at Stephanie while you were standing at the witness box. Her face reminded you of her cruelty.” Brenda smiled warmly when she heard my words, raising her glass in the air. Her blue eyes sparkled under the soft glow from the chandelier. She's a bombshell blondie. One of the beautif

KATERINA TWO DAYS LATER Sitting on the highly backed chair behind the vintage table, I stared at the phone screen keenly, trying to decipher what the coded message meant. This was the first time that I had come across such a message and I couldn't make out what it meant.One week's break was over and now I was back to work like I never left. I had a lot of paperwork to work on but here I was, staring at the message. A frustrated sigh escaped from my lips. This has been going on for the past three days.Since we're entangled in a serious case, every single letter, every single comma or a full stop needed to be examined. Everything that happens needs to be studied carefully. That's what my lawyer told me and I was holding onto his advice because I’m pretty sure that he knew what he was talking about.My phone's security is enhanced to make sure that no one breaks in easily. The mails and everything that is connect

LUCAS "He would never find out about it.” I was about to knock on the wooden mahogany door when I heard Monalisa's words. It seemed as though she was talking to someone over the phone. Taking a deep sigh, I knocked on the door, My lips curving into a smile and pretended as if I didn't hear anything that she said earlier. I twisted the metallic doorknob then walked into the office. Monalisa seemed to be so surprised by my presence as though she wasn't expecting me, hanging up the phone almost immediately. “For how long have you been…around?” She asked hesitantly, as though she was doubtful that I had eavesdropped her conversation. I could see the worry in her eyes as she played around with the cellphone in her hands nervously but pretended as though she was okay. “Just now, did you want me to arrive a little bit earlier?” I said teasingly, the corner of my lips curving into a smile. Monalisa relaxed when she heard my words, “No, I mean yes. I missed you so much, you know.” She plac

KATERINA It felt as though time was moving in slow motion. Raising my head, I stared at the ticking digital wall clock, the knot at the tip of my stomach tightening. It seemed as though a century had passed by even though it had been about two hours since My lawyer left the office. Each passing microsecond meant that Nanny’s life was in danger.I have tried to get lost in work but I just couldn't concentrate no matter how much I tried. A frustrated sigh escaped my lips when I gave it a thought, running my fingers through my already messy hair.I stared at the cold food at the table. I wasn't able to eat more than two spoons. I mean, how was I supposed to eat peacefully knowing too well that the life of someone that I care so much about is in danger?How do I bring myself to enjoy the food? To pretend as though nothing was okay? The food tasted blunt even though it was one of my favourites.Perhaps it is all my fa

KATERINA “I…I don't know what happened to your dad, Katerina. I already told you everything that I know.” She said, avoiding looking me in the eyes because she knew damn well that I could see through them and realise that she was lying on my face.“I don't know what really happened. I was in the kitchen preparing lunch when I heard someone shouting from the living room and when I rushed there, I saw your dad laying on the floor.” She explained, struggling to get the words out of her mouth.The corner of my lips curved into a smile. I could tell that she was lying to me, again. I held her hand on the table.“I can see it through your eyes, nanny. I know you can feel it yourself that you're not telling the truth. This is what you told me four years ago. Back then, I could tell that you weren't telling the truth either.” She swallowed sharply when she heard my words, slowly pulling her hand from my hold and looked away.“I remember you telling me that…we should always say the truth beca
