The return of the Heiress
My laptop and some clothes had been moved to the room, a makeshift office.
I closed my laptop, letting out a weary sigh. Standing up, I walked over to Alex and sat down beside him. "Hey," I whispered, my voice soft.
"There's no progress yet on the case," I told him, my eyes locked on his still form. "I asked the court to postpone our hearing, thinking you might want to be there." I paused, my thoughts pouring out in a hushed tone. "After everything that's happened, I realized our fathers were just pawns in a much larger game. But I still don't know who's pulling the strings, making you hate me and my family, and sabotaging my work.”
