All Chapters of Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Alexander's POVI stood there, stunned. Dad’s words rang in my head like a gong. “Serena will spend the rest of her life in jail.”I stared at him, my mouth agape. “You can’t be serious.” I gasped, barely able to breathe.He didn’t bat an eye. “I told you, Alexander. Nobody gets out of me when they cross me.”“You bribed the judge?” I shouted, my body shaking with anger.“I did what I had to do,” he said, his voice smooth as silk. “You’re my son. You’ll understand this one day.”I clenched my fists again, feeling the heat of rage rise. “You’re destroying her.”“She ruined her own life the moment she crossed me,” he snapped. “Now get ready. We’re leaving for court in twenty minutes.”He walked past me like I didn’t matter. Like Serena didn’t matter.I stood there, breathing hard, my chest rising and falling fast.What do I do now? I can’t let him send her to prison. I rushed to my room, shut the door, and took out my phone.I scrolled through my contacts.There had to be someone I cou

Serena's POV My hands started shaking as I played the voicemail again.Her voice was full of fear, and it made my heart drop. Where was she? What had happened?I didn't know what to think anymore, how to react.I hoped she was still alive.Lost in my own worry and helplessness, I felt someone's eyes boring into me from behind.The last thing I wanted was any false accusation from Vincent, but at that point, I had made up my mind to give him a dirty slap in front of the reporters if he tried to say anything funny.But when I turned, I saw Damien instead.He could tell something was wrong, and I needed to tell him about it because I was losing my mind.“Serena?" he called as he came close, "Are you okay? The expression on your face has changed.”I shook my head. “No, Damien, I'm not okay.""But the case is going in your favor, you're winning, Sophia," he said, his hands brushing my hair lightly."It's not the case I'm worried about, it's Sophia I'm worried about," I admitted, my voice

Alexander's POVI was stunned. “Why the hell did you kidnap them?” I asked, trying to keep my voice down.The spy said, “Maxwell was laundering money from your company. He was about to run away with Sophia yesterday, so I took them in.”I was still trying to process his words when I saw Pristine coming out of the house, strutting over in a tight purple gown. She looked like she was going somewhere fancy.I said quickly, “Text me the address. I’ll be there soon. But let Sophia go before I get there.” I hung up before he could say anything.Pristine wrapped her arms around me and kissed me lightly on the lips, I returned the kiss. “First one in a long time,” she said, her eyes playful. “Who was that on the phone?”I lied. “The lawyer.”She raised an eyebrow. “How did the case with Serena go?”I sighed. “Fair and tough. She had a good lawyer.”Her brows shot up. “Who?”“Damien was her lawyer,” I said, expecting her shock reaction.She laughed like I’d cracked a joke. “Damien? That's imp

Serena's POVI leaned forward, whispering to Damien, “Vincent is here. Do you think he’s following us?” I asked as I watched Vincent with my side eye.Damien let out a quiet hiss of irritation, “No, I don't think so. I doubt Vincent is that jobless to follow us. This is just a bad coincidence,” he said firmly, his jaw tight. “Don’t engage him, Serena. Let him leave without drama.”I nodded, swallowing as the choke rose in my throat, right when Vincent got to our table.A smug smile curled at his lips. Gesturing to the woman beside him, he declared, "Meet my son's poor ex-wife."A curse formed upon my lips, muttered softly under my breath, but I refused to look at them.The lady beside him inclined her head with a sardonic smile curling at her lips. "What would a poor woman be doing in an elite restaurant with a renowned lawyer like Damien?" she spat out, with barely concealed disgust.He bent close to her, his words whispered, but not whispered enough to be unheard. "Because she's a w

Serena's POV"Well," I started, "I'd deal with each problem as they come, but right now, let's get the deal done on keeping my identity hidden.""The ball is in your court, Miss Serena," Mrs Simpson cut in, "Do we have a deal or not?"I smacked my lips, "You guys still haven't told me what you want in return for hiding my identity."The couple exchanged surprised glances before Mr Simpson spoke up, "We want a blank cheque."I chuckled in disbelief before stealing a glance at Damien who acted like he wasn't even listening or it wasn't his business."Shouldn't you be negotiating on my behalf as my lawyer?" I asked, feeling the need for him to come in.He let out a smile, "I'm sorry, Serena but I can't represent you in this matter."I raised an eyebrow, "Why is that?""Because he's also our lawyer, not just your lawyer," Mrs Simpson interrupted, "You just started working with him recently while we have been working with him for years."I cleared my throat. I wished Damien had informed me
