Chapter 141All my life, I had never been this devastated.Within a few hours, my life had crumbled before my eyes.Right now, all I wanted was to go home, lock myself in my room, and disappear from the rest of the world.“We’re here.”My lawyer parked in front of my house and gently tapped my shoulder.I didn’t respond.I just sat there, staring blankly ahead.After everything that had happened today, I felt numb.My lawyer let out a small sigh.“Go inside and get some rest, Miss Kirah. We’ll figure out a way out of this tomorrow.”I still didn’t answer.Slowly, I opened the car door and stepped out.My eyes were swollen from crying, and my voice was almost gone from all the screaming.I slammed the car door shut and dragged my feet toward the entrance.I just wanted a moment to myself… just long enough to wake up from this nightmare.The moment I reached my front door, camera flashes exploded in my face.I stumbled backward, shielding my eyes with both hands.“What the—”Where did t

Chapter 143I slowly unfolded the note and read.I’m sorry for everything you had to go through because of me. You deserved none of it. I know flowers can’t erase the pain, but I hope they can at least make you smile. Have a beautiful day, Alia.There wasn’t any name written at the bottom.Could it be who I’m thinking?Nah… it can’t be him.Drew couldn’t possibly know peonies were my favorite flowers.I ran my fingers gently through the petals.This is so beautiful. I read the note again.Only one person would write something like this.“I see you got my flowers.”I looked up to see Drew walking into my office.His eyes immediately landed on the bouquet in my hands before a smile slowly spread across his face.My instincts were right.Drew brought the flowers.“So it was you.”He slipped both hands into his pockets.“Do you love them?”I frowned, even though I was trying so hard not to smile.“Why didn’t you knock before entering?”I was afraid he must have seen me blushing while readi

Chapter 145“What has gotten into you?” Kyle asked Alice, his eyes widening in disbelief.“You have gotten into me, Kyle.” Alice pointed at him angrily. “I’m tired of your sick, manipulative lies. Opening that dirty mouth of yours and saying you love me and the kids.”I sat on one of the couches, watching Alice curse the living daylights out of Kyle.The expression on his face cracked me up so badly.“How dare you call me a fool and a weakling?” Kyle spat angrily.The charm in his voice and on his face was completely gone.“Because that’s exactly who you are, darling.” Alice folded her arms. “I know why you’re here. You’ve lost control over me, and it’s killing you.”She continued.“You only want me and the kids back because of your stupid election. You want to paint the perfect happy family so badly.”She stood face-to-face with him.Then she pointed toward the door.“Sign those divorce papers and get out of my life… and my children’s lives.”Kyle’s nostrils flared.“You belong to me, A

Chapter 147“For real?” I screamed. My hands flew to my mouth in shock. “That’s good news, Alice!” I grabbed her shoulders, shaking her happily.“Best news I’ve heard in my life,” Alice laughed. “Everything is almost finalized now. We just have to meet with the lawyers one last time and conclude everything.”I threw my arms around her.“Oh my God. I’m so happy for you.”She hugged me back tightly.“I still can’t believe it. It finally happened.” Her voice cracked slightly.“I know.” I gently patted her back.She pulled away and blinked .“Can’t spoil this moment by crying,” she sniffed, wiping away her tears before letting out another laugh.“Oh, Alice… those are tears of joy.”“Yeah.” She smiled. “I’m just glad he finally came to his senses.”I smiled.“he didn't, he finally realized he had no choice.”She giggled.“Either way… I’ll take it.”I reached over and squeezed her hand.“You deserve this. You deserve to be happy and have peace.”She looked down at our joined hands before smiling
