Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Legal Wife Rage: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

AMBERThe air in our bedroom felt heavy and thick. It was the kind of air that makes it hard to breathe. I pulled my large black suitcase across the wooden floor. The sound it made was loud and sharp. It felt like the sound of my old life breaking into small pieces. I did not look back at the bed where we used to sleep. I did not look at the photos on the wall. I only looked at the door. I wanted to leave this house and never come back.I reached for the handle of the door. My hands were shaking. I was not shaking because I was sad. I was shaking because I was very angry. I have been sad for a long time. Now, the sadness was gone. Only fire was left inside me."Where are you going?" Justine asked.I stopped. I did not turn around yet. His voice sounded calm. It made me want to scream. He sounded like a man who did nothing wrong. He sounded like the same man I fell in love with five years ago. But he was a stranger now. He was a monster wearing the face of my husband.I turned around

AMBERThe cold wind hit my face as I drove toward the one place I promised myself I would never go. I did not care about the speed limit. I did not care about the tears blurring my vision. All I could see was the red car parked in the driveway of the woman who stole my life.Her name was Jade. She was my husband’s brother’s wife. She was supposed to be family. Instead, she was the person who watched me bleed on the side of the road and kept driving.I pulled my car behind her red sedan, blocking her in. She was already outside, dressed in a fancy silk dress, holding a designer bag. She looked like she was heading to a party while I was heading to a funeral."Not now, Amber," Jade said as she saw me get out of the car. She rolled her eyes and tried to open her car door. "Can't you see I am in a hurry?""Why?" I asked, walking toward her with heavy steps. "You are off to see Justine again, aren't you? Didn't he leave your bed just now? Oh, you think I do not know? You really cannot get

AMBERThe rain began to fall just as I reached the edge of the town. It was a heavy and cold rain that washed over my windshield. I could barely see the road ahead. My heart was still racing from the events at the lake house. I had left Justine screaming in the dark. I had given Mark the location of the man who betrayed us both. I expected to hear the sound of a gunshot echoing through the trees. I expected to see fire in my rearview mirror. But as I pulled over to the side of the road to breathe, there was only the sound of the storm.I sat there for several minutes. I was waiting for the police or an ambulance to pass me. I was waiting for the world to explode. My phone was still buzzing with notifications from the live stream I had just ended. The internet was on fire. The name Thorne was being dragged through the mud by thousands of strangers. I should have felt happy. I should have felt like I had won everything. But inside, I felt hollow. I was a mother without a child and a w

AMBERThe courthouse was surrounded by a sea of people. Cameras flashed like lightning, and reporters shouted my name as I stepped out of the car. The world was watching the Thorne family fall apart, and I was the one leading the way. I wore a sharp, charcoal-grey suit and kept my head high. I did not wear a veil or hide behind sunglasses. I wanted everyone to see that I was not afraid. I was not the broken girl they remembered.Inside the courtroom, the air was cold and smelled of old wood and floor wax. Justine was already sitting at the front table. He looked different than he did a week ago. His expensive suit was slightly wrinkled, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He didn't have his usual smug smile. Beside him sat three men in dark suits. They were the most expensive lawyers in the city. Evelyn had clearly spent a fortune to make sure her son did not lose a single penny in this divorce.I walked down the aisle. The sound of my heels on the marble floor was the only no
