Vanessa gracefully stepped down from the car and strode to the court with her head held high while the chilly breeze hitting her made her silky hair flow freely, and she brushed it behind her ear with her slender fingers keeping a gentle expression on her face while all the gazes nearby glanced at her in awe with her dazzling beauty.Her every step displayed her confidence and she had an imposing aura lurking in the shadows, although she appeared tender which made her even more attractive.When her steps finally halted in front of the court, she eyed her watch, and a satisfying curve settled on her lips since she was five minutes earlier than her appointed time.By the time she reached the arena where the divorce cases were handled, she was the only one present, but her eyes roamed across the large queue on the other side where marriage certificates would be issued and a panging pain hit her chest as the realization sunk in that she was really going to get a divorce with Austin Jones!
After a really long day, Vanessa got down from the car and moved into Fiona's house while a cold gleam was dancing in her brown orbs.Seeing Vanessa was already back, Fiona, who settled herself on the sofa while watching television, was surprised and couldn't help but take another glance at Vanessa and eyed her watch."Wow, you were awfully fast!" Fiona commented, making Vanessa's eyebrows twitch, but she didn't respond and sat on the opposite chair and grabbed the bottle of water.Quickly, she gulped down as if she was deserted for a week making Fiona chuckle and asked while enthusiasm was lurking in her eyes, "Did you get a divorce?"Hearing it, Vanessa stopped what she was doing and gave a slight nod while her gaze was focused on the television, but Fiona wasn't satisfied as she was eager to hear everything that happened at the court."Show me the divorce certificate!" Fiona demanded while Vanessa was getting a headache with her excitement, but she couldn't do anything to Fiona and
Austin Jones sat on the president's chair with his legs crossed, his hands drumming on the table while his gaze focused on the presentation, and the department heads were eager to satisfy him to get their perks.When he was deep in thoughts, a phone rang, making the people in the conference hall wipe their sweat since they all know Austin would never allow anyone to interrupt a meeting.Their heads turned around to see who was the unlucky fellow, but it again beeped, but from none other than Austin Jones himself!Seeing that, they all relaxed, but a frown was settled on Austin's handsome face because he wouldn't receive any calls in 'do not disturb' mode unless they called repetitively, and no one in his sane mind would call him like crazy unless something happened!With that, he grabbed his mobile from his pocket and eyed numerous missed calls from all of his close friends.He grasped that something must be wrong and decided to call them when a message popped up on his screen from Da
It's been five days since the scandal of the Jones family's second son having a forbidden love affair with his sister-in-law had become a trending search in the city.Austin Jones had tried every means possible to shut the media and delete the news without a trace, but it had become impossible even with the amount of power they possessed.To top it off, the people who once looked down on Vanessa and mocked her for marrying the second son of the Jones family because he was rich had pitied her for her miserable marriage.Frustrated with the result, Master Jones had ordered Austin to get Vanessa and present her before him even if he had to search the entire world.With that, Austin and Theo had utilized all the resources, but couldn't find any trace of Vanessa after she moved from New York as if she had disappeared into thin air after she divorced him!Her social media accounts weren't even active in these past days, and the only post that was present on her account was the ironic apolog
When the dinner party was finally over, Vanessa was still rooted in her place and let the hall turn empty.In a couple of minutes, only Vanessa and Caroline were present in the enormous hall, and she sighed.Inhaling a deep breath, Vanessa stood up and turned around to go to the restroom, and Caroline caught up with her from behind as she was worried for Vanessa.When Vanessa walked out, Austin eyed her leaving silhouette and his gaze turned cold, but his face was detached of any emotion, and he too strode out in his long steps.Theo, who stood silently behind Austin, followed the gloomy man out, but didn't utter a word, too scared to say anything that would trigger Austin's anger!But he was bewildered would be an understatement when he saw Vanessa standing in front of them all safe and sound, because he had scoured for her like crazy all these months, personally checking all the places they thought she could be present at, yet, he couldn't get a single clue of her whereabouts.Howev
Mia was enraged as she stared at Vanessa's arrogant silhouette while the sting in her face was still fresh in her mind, compelling her to remember what that bitch Vanessa had done to her.Her eyes grew fierce as she stroked her swollen face, and the desire to rip Vanessa to shreds settled in the back of her mind!With that idea, she broke free from Austin's grip and attempted to catch up with Vanessa, but Austin sensed her intentions and forcefully grabbed her hand, pulling her back with a severe look.Mia looked at Austin in astonishment, incredulity was written over her face, and she couldn't help but ask him about what was going through his head.She blinked her moist eyes and asked, "brother?" in a mournful tone, making him uncomfortable, but he knew restraining Mia was the best thing for her for the time being."Don't try to meddle with her," Austin admonished the miserable Mia in his arms, sending shivers down her spine with his harsh tone.Mia was infuriated to see him shield t
Vanessa opened her eyes when she heard the screeching sound of her car and eyed the 'King' from the window, and she had a headache just by thinking of it.She was in no mood to go to the King and have fun, but she couldn't skip it since it was Fiona's birthday party.Moreover, knowing Fiona was a fan of night parties, Vanessa would get killed in her hands if she ditched it at the last minute!Seeing the lavish ambiance from the outside with all the luxurious cars parked right on their spots itself showed how much the rich visit the 'King' and for Fiona, who grew up in billions, this kind of expenditure for her birthday celebration wasn't a big thing.As Fiona prefers privacy, she had booked the majority of the club and all the people who were invited to the celebration were known to each other turning the atmosphere even more lively.Vanessa rushed out to the King straight after she wrapped up her business at the earlier banquet and she didn't get the time to change her costumes.As a
Austin's ears felt like they were bleeding from the ear-splitting sounds coming from the interior when his car came to a halt with a loud screech in front of the "King" Club.He didn't want to go into the club since he didn't like loud music, but when he remembered Vanessa was there with a man alongside her, he was intrigued and decided to go in.Inside the club, David was seated straight across the stage with a glass of whisky in his hands, and he was excited to see the Fiery Ice Band's performance as he heard Vanessa's friend's enticing speech earlier.Moreover, he wanted Austin to witness his ex-wife and see her in a new light as Vanessa appeared so charming all of a sudden right after her return.He himself was shell shocked when she saw the confidence oozing from her and the way she carried herself.He even wondered when did the timid, and obedient Vanessa, who almost never raised her voice, had turned out to be so dazzling and conquered everyone on her way as if she were a queen
