ALANNAWhy did he say all that about me in court?Does he want to lose everything? Maybe because he thinks they can't win and wants to use what he would say to manipulate me to think he is a good person.“But they were winning,” Angela spoke out interrupting my thoughts.“Well, I won't really say that we're winning but their Lawyer is good and he had me in a corner,” I confessed, taking another clip from the vanity to clip the edge of my hair. I was getting prepared for my date with Brad, it would be the first time I went to his place. He said I should dress fancy and that he would be cooking. “A man that cooks, I love that,” I had teased him when he called me later that night. I still felt the same way I felt about Brad, there was no connection between us. Well, not from my end.But I wanted to try, maybe if I got to go to his house and see a part of him that I had not seen before, in-depth, I would be able to connect with him.“I mean, it doesn't make any sense, I think he was be

BRADI have been counting the seconds to this moment.This very moment when I would have her ALONE, in my house.I had thought about it and prepared for her all day, everything had to be perfect, I didn't want to screw it up, I wanted to make sure that everything went as planned.In the morning, I went grocery shopping, I knew how to cook and I knew the perfect meal for us.Spaghetti and meatballs, she would be so impressed, especially when I used my mum's recipe.Then I would stop at the corner alley of downtown and meet up with an old friend. He walked erratically toward my car and slammed it as soon as he entered, his face was pale and his eyes dim. I am sure he was still using drugs, even though he had checked himself countless times in a rehabilitation center to get clean.But one thing I have learned about addictive old habits, it dies hard.“Do you have what I want,” I had asked him. He nodded, and glanced out the window and also at the rearview mirror, “Relax, I checked i

CHLOEFuck!Fuck!Fuck!I didn't know Alanna was going to be here, Nolan had not gotten home, quite frankly he rarely come home these days, I wasn't sure where he spent the night but my guess could be at Jake’s house.I was so horny and I tried calling Lucas but my call went straight to voicemail, I didn't want to call Brad before coming, else he might decline, so I got in my car and drove up here.As soon as he slammed the door in rage, he veered around to face me, “Do you have any clue what you just did?” he asked, clenching his fist.“How the fuck am I to know that she would be here…,” I was not done talking when his fist landed on my face and I tumbled to the floor, I squirmed in pain, I had not expected the slap and my eyes welled go in tears. “That is why you have a fucking cell phone, you call,” he yelled out, he squatted to where I had fallen and held my chin up.“Now look what you caused, all because of you were fucking horny, you ruined my plan,”“I am sorry,” I cried out.
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge EAT THOSE WORDS
ALANNAA lot was running through my mind, I had more questions than answers. I wanted more answers. Why was Chloe at Brad's house by that time of the night?I know Brad had explained but something about it didn't just sit right. I had a gut feeling that one of them was lying. Was it Brad or Chloe?But Brad had no reason to lie to me. I could see the desire in his eyes when he sat across the table from me, it was raw, he longed for me, he wanted me, there was an adulterated thirst in his eyes. Every part of him wanted every part of me.“I am glad she interrupted you, God knows what kind of stupid decisions you would have made yesterday,” Angela sneered as we made our way to the elevator, I grinned at her, her hatred for Brad was uncanny. “Is that all you can take out of this story?” I teased as the elevator door flung open and we began making our way to the courtroom. I hated being back downtown, there was a lot about downtown that smelled like privilege. This was one place in th

CHLOEI hate my life, I truly do. I glanced down at my phone, half-distracted, half-hoping for something that might divert my thoughts from the mess my life had become.The message blinked insistently, demanding my attention. It was from my informant at the court, the one I had tasked with keeping an eye on things. My eyes widened in disbelief as I read the update: someone had leaked a picture of Brad and Alanna on a date.Alanna. The name alone was enough to sour my mood. I knew I was the only one privy to that information, which meant Brad had lied to me, he had other plans. Again. I reminded myself, for the umpteenth time, that trusting Brad was akin to believing in fairy tales — all glitter and no substance.Before I could even process this latest betrayal, Lucas appeared, his presence startling me out of my thoughts. He leaned in and planted a kiss on my cheek, a gesture so effortless it made my heart skip a beat despite myself. Damn Lucas and his charming ways.I had come to v

ALANNAA LOT OF QUESTIONS AND SPECULATION RAN THROUGH MY MIND. I stared at the screen in the courtroom and it seemed like the world stood still for me to analyze and take in all that was going on that particular moment.I gulped, reminding myself to breathe. I need to inhale and exhale. “Ms. Alanna, is that you in the picture above,” Mr. Collins asked and I kept staring at him, “Ms. Alanna please answer the question,” he instructed and I nodded. “Yes, that is me,” I acknowledged and Nolan glared at me, my hands were intertwined with Brad's in the picture, while we were having dinner and from the angle at which it was taken, it was taken through the see-through glass outside his penthouse. CHLOE. That bitch!I knew she was up to no good coming to Brad's house, and acting like she came there for some stupid Lawyer’s contact. She knew her play, she knew what she was orchestrating, her plan was flawless, even Brad didn't see through it.“Can you please tell the court what is going
After Divorce, The Heiress Decides to Revenge Did you sleep with him?
NOLAN There, on the screen, was Alanna, her hand intertwined with Brad's. A sickening certainty gripped me. They were on a date. In his damn penthouse, no less. My muscles clenched, the image replaying in my mind.Was that why she looked so damn radiant that morning? Was the lingering scent of her perfume a leftover from their rendezvous? Had they…? The thought sent a fresh wave of anger crashing over me.The rest of the hearing faded into a dull roar. My lawyer's words, the judge – none of it registered. All I could focus on was the image of Alanna, seemingly carefree, enjoying Brad's company. My mother, a smug smile playing on her lips, intercepted me before I could reach Alanna."Well, that went well, wouldn't you say?" she purred, her voice laced with a satisfaction that grated on my nerves."What the hell was that, bringing that picture to court?" I spat, my voice low and dangerous."Oh, come now, Nolan," she countered, the smile widening into a smirk. "It simply highlighted

NOLANIt wasn't a date," she snapped, her eyes flashing defiance. "And even if it was, it wouldn't change anything.""Ask Chloe about it," she said, her gaze hardening."Chloe?" I repeated, bewildered. "What does Chloe have to do with this?"A ghost of a smile played on her lips, fleeting but sharp. "She just happened to show up at Brad's house that night," she said, her voice a husky whisper before she turned and walked away.I knew I had to be at the board meeting. Today was the day they voted to see if I kept my position as CEO or if my loathsome stepbrother Brad took over. But first, I needed to get to the bottom of this. Chloe. What the hell was she doing at Brad’s house?I got into my car and drove home to the Westbrook Mansion. My hands gripped the steering wheel tighter than usual, knuckles white with suppressed anger. Chloe and I were on the verge of separation and divorce, but that didn't mean I didn't have the right to know what she was doing.I entered the mansion, the fam
