Alaric’s POVI waited with baited breath for Ray to answer my question, hoping against hope that we were one step closer to putting this farce behind us.“Yeah,” Ray answered. “But I don’t think you’re going to like what I have to say, Alaric,” he said. I could hear the stress in his voice.“Listen, I haven’t liked much of anything I’ve been hearing of late, Ray, so this being no different is no skin off my back. I just need whatever damn information you have for me.”“It’s about your father, Alaric.”“What about him?” I glanced back at Liv, who had begun on her tirade again before shifting my full attention on Ray. “Is it about the rumors that Liv has spread? We know that they’re bad so if you’re about to reiterate something that we both already know then-”“It’s not just that.” Ray clarified. “Then what is it?” I said impatiently.“Fact checking Alaric. That’s what I’ve been doing. Originally, we weren’t sure that the rumors Niki exposed for Livia to leak were true, but it’s lookin

Alaric’s POV“I’m so glad you’ve finally come around to showing me the proof!” Livia lit up as she held the divorce papers in her hands. She didn’t need to know that I had Ray doctor up a document that seemed so legitimate that the best eye would have a hard time finding the discrepancy.“You asked for proof, and I provided.” With a smile I took the paper from her and placed it back on my desk, and walked away.“Oh please, babe! Let’s get it laminated!” She squealed. “I want to plant it on my wall! Mount it for the world to see!” It was insufferable, her incessant ramblings about the attempted assassination of my marriage. I was glad that my back was turned to her at the time because I knew that my face was screaming out in anger at her perceived triumph.“The world will see our wedding when you and I are seen walking down the aisle together, dearest.” She huffed like a petulant child. “I guess,” she gave in, “but I’d still like a copy,” she added. “You know, for a trophy.”“I will

Alaric’s POV“Where is she?!” I growled as I shoved passed the yellow tape. I froze stunned when I saw the damage done to Lucy’s restaurant; the windows were shattered, a chair hanging out of one.Further in, tables were turned over, the warmer was broken. The bannister leading up the stairs was bent.“Mr. Kingsley!” Stephanie exclaimed as she stumbled towards me. Her eyes were misty with tears as she ran up to me. “Steph, are you okay? What’s going on?”She shook her head. “I’m-I’m fine,” she cried. “What happened?” I demanded, looking around to figure out where Lucy was. “Where is Lucy?” “She’s in the back. In her office.” Stephanie took my hand and led me to the back through the kitchen and into her office where the paramedics as well as the police were standing. “What’s going on here-”My words sank in my throat when I saw her sitting there, her hands wrapped around the back of the chair.Her shirt was torn, bra ripped at the strap, and her lip cut. Her hair was disheveled an

Lucy’s POVIt had been days since the attack. Insurance was taking care of the damages to my property.“Even with the restaurant temporarily closed, you’re still raking in,” Amanda said as she rounded the corner.While all of the appliances were fixed, the interior still needed some work. So the restaurant wasn’t available for dine-in, but we still did pick-up and deliveries so that the employees could sustain steady income. “Thank you for taking a few days to help me, Manda. You didn’t have to do that.” “Of course, I did,” she said. “You shouldn’t even be here, Luce. I told you that I could run this place and the Whisk while you rest.” “I need to be doing something,” I sighed. “Yeah, but with your injuries-”“My injuries are more mental than physical-”“But, Lucy, you said that he-”“I know, Manda!” I snapped unintentionally. I paused, took a deep breath. “I’m sorry,” I muttered, fighting the tremble in my voice. “I…I didn’t mean to-”“I know,” Amanda said. “I’m the one who shoul

Alaric’s POVThe murmurs began. I knew that I had to immediately explain what was going on before I lost the audience. “I know that you all have your questions. That you’re wondering why you’re here if not for a wedding, because the truth of the matter is, there will be no wedding today.” “Alaric, what the hell are you doing?” My dad’s aggression could be heard in the background but I ignored him. “Truth is, we are all here today to expose all of the underhanded dealings that have led up to this moment.” I announced it to everyone. “I never wanted to marry Livia Simmons and I never stopped loving Lucy Whitmore.”The crowd gasped. There were some who clearly still had their doubts. “I know that this may sound incredulous, but I have proof.”I moved to the side, and immediately a projector screen began to lower. Nothing played on it yet, however. Everyone needed to hear an introduction to the monster that they called friend.“She drives me crazy!” Livia declared through the audio.
