My Husband's Unwanted Wife의 모든 챕터: 챕터 91 - 챕터 97

Alice’s POVThe next week was when the trial was set to begin. Arlington had helped me, as he said he would, and I was back on as lead counsel. He also reached out to the law firms he had mentioned and made sure there was no stone left unturned. Everything had come together and soon everyone would know the truth. I just had to catch up with the case itself and nail down my own approach to everything.The morning of the trial I dressed in my designer pantsuit, my hair done up elegantly, my reflection finally showing who I really was. Not some jealous ex-wife or some weak-minded reject that David had cast aside. No, that morning I was flawlessly professional and sufficiently intimidating. That was the desired effect. Now I just had to remain confident and walk into that courtroom like I owned it.Both David and Adam were waiting for me when I emerged from my bedroom. My briefcase was full of paperwork, and I made sure to bring my laptop with me. It was only opening statements and formal

David’s POVIt was snowing, the flakes whipped around me, but I didn’t feel cold. It was familiar but strange, standing on the side of an empty street, my mind anticipating the fear. I looked around, trying to understand what was happening but then a figure emerged from the haze of snow and wind. It was her- the girl with the colorful scarf. That was the only color in this white landscape, and I reached out to her, trying to get her attention. I couldn’t see her face, couldn’t speak, the sound of the intense winds the only thing I could hear.I couldn’t move, rooted in place as the scarf around her neck wafted in the heavy breeze. Then, it sprang loose and drifted toward me on the breeze, wrapping itself around me warmly, comfortably. I looked at the familiar blue and red fabric, clutching it tightly. It was familiar, it was soft, and it made the fear fade away. When I looked up for the girl, I was horrified to see she was gone. I tried to call out, tried to see through the constant w

Alice’s POVDelilah requested to meet me in person, and I thought after court the next day would be perfect. Adam, who had heard the conversation between us, insisted on coming along.“Just don’t scare her,” I reminded him when he met me at the courthouse after the day’s trial. It took longer than I anticipated and I made sure Delilah knew we were running late.“I won’t scare her, but after your last meetup with a stranger…” Adam surmised, reminding me of the kidnapping.“Yes, it’s best to be cautious,” I agreed. “Come on, she’s meeting us at a café a few blocks away.”“Let’s go,” he insisted, my arm wrapping around his as he led me up the street from the court.“Thank you for coming along,” I said to him when we approached the intersection a few blocks up where the café was across from the park. “I appreciate it. Did you have to work today?”“I took the afternoon off,” he nodded, smiling sweetly. “This was too important. Why are you meeting her again?”“I talked to Terrance, the butl

Lily’s POVI had planned my outfit perfectly, knowing all eyes would be on David and I. It was time to announce to the world that we were together and that I was going to be the matron of the Neighely family. The banquet seemed like the best place to do that. However, I had forgotten that Alice was on the guest list. It wasn’t my choice but a last-minute addition because she had won the court case for Neighley Group recently.I didn’t like it but at the same time, it was a great event to make it clear to Alice that she had lost and I had won. I was with David, I was going to marry him, and everything was going to be my way from now on. Her accusations were pointless, silly – she had nothing and I had everything. That thought made me smile but also made me even more excited for the banquet.When we arrived, all eyes were on us. Of course, I noticed Alice immediately and couldn’t help but steer David and I away from her for as long as possible. Our conversations with colleagues and fami
