All Chapters of After The 99Th Time, I Chose Divorce. : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Loren’s POV My grip on the envelope tightened, teardrops falling into it. Killian raised my chin so I could meet his eyes. Words failed me at that moment and I just crashed into him, hiding my face in his shoulder. “I didn’t…” I began. “I… how did you…”I glanced back at the invitation. An invitation to my mother's memorial. He had arranged a memorial for my mother. She never even got a proper funeral, no one thought about her, not even Dad. He was too busy being a husband to his new wife and the perfect father for his new daughter. And for a moment, I was fifteen again. I was angry again. I was staring at the grave, my heart threatening to tear out of my chest if it meant bringing her back. But then I was also eight again, watching her perform around the house, playing her cello like it was her entire world. I was ten again, promising her I would never stop playing.“Loren…” Killian reached out and our eyes met. I kissed his hand, leaning against him as sobs racked throu

Loren’s POV “Good girl,” Lovie taunted as she brushed past me, turning to the press. She pulled out a small handkerchief and wiped her non-existent tears. “I’m so glad that everyone could join us today,” she glanced at my mother's photo “I loved my stepmother like my own mother, even though she was…” Her eyes met mine. “Unfaithful to our father,”“Whoa, Lovie has such a big heart, who else would be so close to their stepmother,” One of the reporters mused. “There have been rumors about Freya Hatt infidelity but Lovie is handling it with such grace.” My hands curled into fists at my sides. “Despite all the issues between Loren and me. Today, we are both here for her,” She stepped closer. “Right, sister?”I parted my lips to put her in her place but Killian held me back. “Don’t let her get to you,” He said, “She’s just trying to provoke you. Just ignore her.”I swallowed my words but Pilar spoke up instead. “You’re so right, Lovie.” She said, “You came here with an open heart an

The officers were already pulling me away before Lovie could speak. Killian rushed after us, holding my hand even as I entered the police van. Even through all this, he had not questioned me once. He was still with me. The thought made a sob build in my throat. He raced back into the mansion and my eyes widened as I saw his black Audi following us. I leaned against the police van, my thoughts circling everything that happened. The press, guests, everyone turned against me. Today was supposed to be for my mother but once again, Lovie made it about her. I had no clue she was even pregnant yet she risked the baby just to ruin me, She shouldn’t have done that. She shouldn’t have done something so despicable but she did it, anyway. This time, she really crossed the line. And from now on, I wasn’t going to keep shielding myself, it was time to attack. I had to prove my innocence and expose Lovie’s lies, then we’d handle the previous accounts. The car pulled to a halt outside the

Loren’s POV “Don’t look so surprised sister,” Lovie taunted. “It was only about time you traced the trail.”“So of course, I had to follow.” My hands curled into fists at my sides. “But since you’re trying your best to find out the truth and damage my reputation,” I raised an eyebrow at her words. “Then fine, read my lips.”She smirked. “I. Wasn’t. Pregnant.” My eyes widened at her words. “I wasn’t pregnant at all. I just came to your house to taunt you, then I wanted to teach Pilar a lesson so I chased her up the stairs,”She paused. “She still wouldn’t listen; she kept mouthing off to me, she kept humiliating me so I lost control and grabbed a vase to silence the wretch for good!”“But you walked in at that exact time and ruined everything!” She spat, “You grabbed my hand and led me toward the stairs, but you didn’t push me.”“I let go and yelled so everyone could blame you…”She was confessing so easily? “This was all my fault and I’m sorry, I’ll turn myself in; I’ll do whatev

Loren's POV “Not much,” Lovie grinned. “In fact, it's so small that you’ll thank me for asking for it.”I scoffed. “You really have no shame Lovie but now, I actually want to know. Why did you do all of this? What do you want?”She stepped closer before leaning in. “Papa’s trust,”My blood froze, our eyes meeting for a brief moment before loud laughter escaped my lips. Lovie didn’t find it funny. But no matter how I tried, I couldn’t control my laughter. “Is it now?” I said; “You got everything, Lovie. Father’s love, attention, everything…” I stepped closer. “But the right to be his real daughter,” Lovie’s nose flared, “Are you mocking me? Have you looked around and seen the condition you’re in?” she spat, “You’re about to lose everything.”“But you’ve already lost.” I bit back. “I take all my words back. You were right in front of those reporters; you have always and will always be my father’s illegitimate daughter.” I sneered, “And as far as the trust goes, I won’t give it to y
