"Please forgive my brashness Respected Jury. But may I know why you decided that those formulas belongs to Mrs. Morrison and not my client?" Yunnis requested in a much tamer tone than before. The jury doesn't feel like they should explain their reasons behind their judgement after the way Yunnis spoke with them. But that would only make the Fisher's side look like the jury is being partial towards the other side. So they decided to explain. "Every perfume has more than one ingredient added to it to reach the final smell of that particular perfume. Miss Macy successfully wrote down the formulas like every other perfumer would if they smell any perfume. But she failed to recognise the key ingredients in each perfume which gave the edge to that perfume when compared with the other perfumes in the market. Like for example, one of the perfumes had wild lilies used as one their main ingredient. While Miss Macy guessed the lilies part, she failed to recognise that the Fragrance of green ho
"It's you who tried to defame me, or more precisely Fragrance. This is all on you. Why are you blaming them?" Nina demanded coldly. Nova gave her a smile. He is not made at her. He can never be. She is his sweetheart, and she is going to be his sweet revenge against Theodore Morrison. The ever loving prince-charming for as long as he remembered. "Nina, so what if I am behind all this? But my intention was never to hurt you. You are my sweetheart. How can I hurt you?" Nova spoke rather flirtatiously, which angered Theo to no end. He glared at Nova. "You are as disgusting as the scum under my shoes. I would have knocked out your teeth if we were not standing inside here" Theo snapped at Nova. Nova smirked at Theo. The jury just left, but this place is still safe for him to mess with Theo. Here, Theo cannot hurt him out of respect for the jury. "Relax Theo, don't be so upset. When I marry Nina, I will try to find another beautiful girl for you. But I cannot promise that she will be
After the Jury declared their final verdict, the Fragrance company won ten million in compensation. As they are under the process of expansion, they are in dire need of money, which Nina and Ella refused to take from anyone else, not even Theo. And the Morrison heir respected their decision and never broached that subject again. So now, Ella would have been jumping with the joy if she was normal. But despite gaining so much money unexpectedly, there is no trace of happiness in Ella's eyes. She is too quiet. Jeremiah, Ella and Noah are travelling with Theo and Nina in the same car. Ella was sitting in the back beside Jeremiah who is in the middle. Liam was sitting on the other side. Theo is driving while Nina sat beside him in the passenger seat. Theo noticed Liam taking glances at Ella more than once, which spiked his curiosity. While Nina turned to look at Ella more than once. She is worried about Ella. "What happened to Ella today? We won the pathetic case that Nova has fil
Liam is not understanding why Ella seems to look devastated. She was not herself this morning. And she ran outside suddenly from the moment she saw that kid. 'What is bothering her so much that she is crying like this? Is she worried that she might get pregnant from last night? Is seeing that kid triggered that fear?' he thought to himself. Whatever happened last night, he did not think that it would end this way. After a while, when she stopped crying, but was still looking lost, he decided to apologise and assure her. "Ella, i am extremely sorry for what happened last night. I promise you, I will be responsible for you. I will not leave you to deal with the aftermath. Please, don't cry. I just can't see you like this" he spoke as gently as he could. She smiled sadly and pulled away from his embrace, as if realising where she was. She wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. "Don't worry about it. You are not entirely responsible for what happened. You didn't force me.
Ella was quiet after Nina spoke. Nina parked their car in front of a cafe. "I will bring us something to eat" Nina spoke up before exiting the car. Nina is giving Ella time to think and come to terms with what happened in the last twenty four hours. After Nina left, Ella's mind went to the time when she first met Vincent. He was gentle and charming. He charmed her in no time. He used to know when she needed something and what she needed. As Ella was an orphan, Vincent's mother and his family didn't accept her. But he didn't listen to them. Only Vincent's father gave his blessings to their union. They got married in a Civil affairs bureau and started their married life. Everything was fine for the first two years. She used to think that she was the luckiest woman in the world who got a husband like him. Then, Vincent got busy with his work and rarely at home. He used to spend most of his time in the company. Ella used to feel that they both are becoming distant. That's when Vincen
Heather Smith was the ex secretary of the Late Vincent. She worked for him for over four years. She was just a newbie when she joined the Vincent group. Within one year she was promoted as the secretary of the boss recognising her hard work. Then, she started working for him just when he got married. Initially their relationship was purely professional. Slowly it developed into friendship and then one night it turned into companionship. Neither of them thought that it would turn that way. But it happened. And neither Heather who was single at that time not Vincent who was married thought about what they were doing to Ella. After all, Ella was the legal wife of Vincent who married her going against everyone in his family. But his love didn't last long. It shifted from Ella to Heather within a couple of years. Heather looked at her one and a half year old son who is now sleeping peacefully in his crib. When her boyfriend suggested that they should go out for lunch, she agreed without
Ella gasped and covered her mouth with shock. "So all the while when I was being given mind numbing work which used to drain the energy out of me, it was my dear husband who did it to avoid me?" she spoke with bitterness. The love she held for her husband is slowly transforming into anger. Heather looked at her open palms and nodded her head. When Vincent was avoiding his wife, she used to feel so happy that he was prioritising her over his wife. So she never contradicted him. "You know Nina, Everyone used to dump something or other near my desk and demand that I should finish it. I used to think that they were helping me to learn faster, so I never complained. They might have thought that I was a fool" Ella shared with Nina with tears brimming in her eyes. Nina wrapped her arm around Ella to comfort her. What more can she do? If that Vincent was still alive, she would have killed him herself. But he is not. So she can only help her friend to recover from this bitter reality of h
The same day in the evening, Nova found himself in hot water with his family. His mother is crying while his father and grandfather are fuming through their noses. "This fool went and made a mess out there. Now look at the news. Every news channel is telecasting the same news. They are criticising him and the entire Fisher family for being unethical. Listen to what they are saying. They are holding a debate about how vile and disgusting Nova is and how the Fisher gave birth to a scum like him. Who would go after a married woman? Even if he had his eyes on her, he should do everything discreetly. But if he is going for the Mistress of the Morrison family, he should never ever even look at her in the wrong way. But this piece of trash not only has his eyes on Mr. Morrison's wife, he even announced it in front of the media" Grandpa Fisher snapped with so much anger, that he is breathing heavily at the end. Even Michael Fisher is not pleased with the negative publicity the Fisher famil
