Chapter 31Jessica Hemsworth The familiar cologne of aunt Lucy's hallway welcomed me as I stepped inside.I met her in the living room. Eyes glued to her phone as usual. Legs crossed. A glass sitting on her nose bridge.She glanced up briefly, her face unreadable, then looked back at her phone like I was just background noise.“You are here…” she didn't look away from her phone after, and just gestured for me to sit on the couch.My eyes scanned the familiar living room, memories clawing into my head. This house was where my real misery began. I should've stayed in the orphanage after the death of mom. I would've been better off there. This witch right here, ruined my life.My chest burned, and my eyes stung with tears as I clenched my phone tightly in my palm, holding back the tears. I couldn't break down in front of her.“So…” she finally put her phone away, shifting her attention to me. “I got a call from Viktor.”I scoffed. Silently. Yes. I should've known this meeting was about

Chapter 33 Jessica Hemsworth “Hey, bestie!” Alicia beamed the moment I stepped into the café, her smile as bright as ever.“I’ve been waiting for you.”I slid into the seat across from her. “I’m sorry I’m late. Something unexpected came up.”“It’s okay,” she said, shifting in her chair. “You’re here now, and that’s what matters.” She leaned in slightly. “So... about the divorce?”I hesitated, the weight of that word heavier than ever. Alicia always wanted me out of this marriage—maybe even more than I did sometimes.I gently smiled to soften the moment. “Can we order drinks first?”“Sure. White coffee, right?” she asked as she got up, and I nodded.“I’ll be right back.” She returned a few minutes later with two cups in hand.“Here you go, darling.”“Thanks,” I said, accepting the cup with a small smile.She studied me closely as she sat back down, her eyes searching mine.“So… you said things were complicated. I wanted to see you before we talk to the attorney. What’s going on?”I s

Chapter 35Jessica HemsworthAs Susanne approached, Mr. Hall’s phone rang.“Wait here. I need to take this,” he said, stepping aside.Susanne stopped a few feet from me, eyes trailing after him before snapping back to me with a sneer.“Well, well… Looks like someone’s having fun,” she said, folding her arms. A smug smile played on her lips as her gaze swept over my dress. “Where’d you get that?”Before I could answer, she stepped closer, hand half-raised as if to touch the fabric.I took a step back, jaw tightening.“Oh, relax,” she huffed. “I just wanted a better look. There's no way that dress is real. Seriously, Jess, stop trying so hard. Wearing knockoffs won’t make you important.”I gave her a long, cold stare.You're the one acting like royalty at someone else’s party.She gasped theatrically, hand flying to her mouth. “Don’t tell me… you’re here trying to land a rich guy?” She chuckled. “Really, Jess? You’re still married to Viktor.”I said nothing.She leaned in, her voice dro

Chapter 37 Viktor Holt I tightened my jaw as my eyes scanned the room. Except for one of them that I didn't recognise, I knew the others to be very reputable people. Susanne! This is all her fault! “Do you know him?” All of them, except Mr. Hall whose eyes were locked on me, his jaw tightened, asked. My eyes diverted to Jess as she rose to her feet, and with her eyes on me, she said those words that made my body go cold. “No… I don't know him.” I scoffed silently, my nails curled into my palm. Denying me, her husband, in front of everyone? “I'm sorry about this. Excuse me.” And without another word, I turned around and dashed out of the lounge, closing the door behind me. “How did it go? Who is she with?” Susanne's eyes searched mine for answers the moment I stepped outside. For a second, I thought of lashing out at her, but held back. She was just looking out for me, to be sure Jessica wasn't cheating on me. And without saying a word to her, I walked away. “Viktor! Wait

Chapter 39 Jessica Hemsworth “Over here…” Alicia waved at me the moment I stepped inside the cafe. She sat close to the window. “Hey, sweetie. I'm sorry I'm late.” I apologised, hugging her. “It's fine.” She paused, tapping the chair beside her for me to sit. “The attorney will be here in a few minutes.” “Oh, that's fine.” “Coffee or tea?” She raised her brows. “I'm fine, Alicia.” I smiled. She blinked her eyes rapidly. “You look nervous. Is everything alright?” I rubbed my sweaty palms together, nodding my head. But I was really worried. What if the attorney could not do anything about it? Will I be stuck with Viktor for God knows how long? “Hmm. I'm fine.” “Let's talk about you and your hot boss while we're waiting for the attorney.” She propped her face with her hand underneath her chin, and I scoffed. “What about my boss?” “Is there anything you might want to tell me about him?” She winked at me, biting her lip. Heat crept up my chest, and my cheeks b
