"What are you doing here?" She asked coldly. He was surprised that she hadn't even greeted him. He wondered the kind of anger she had been holding in ever since and the kind of poisonous words her father might have said to her all those times. "I kept calling but you wouldn't answer, so I came to see you." He said, flashing her a smile despite the situation. He was very happy that he got to see her again. Her father who had been standing there walked out angrily. They waited until he had gone before Chloe motioned the guards to give them space. "Wasn't it clear to you that I didn't want to talk to you. As you can see, I'm fine here. There was no need coming here. Its very pointless and I don't want to see you again. I made that pretty clear to you when I was leaving. I asked you not to call but every moment you keep calling, so I had to change my number." She said passively, even though it hurt him so hard. Well, she didn't care at all and relished the sight of him looking so crest

It was the next day in the afternoon that the woman decided that it was time to give Chlor a call. As much as she was sceptical of Cage, she knew that there would be a bit of truth in her words and she also didn't want to see their marriage fall apart. She had only been guarded with him the day before because she thought he had come to manipulate her into turning against her own client, which was impossible. She learned, however, after Cage left that he had only come with good intentions. She dialled the number of her boss and put the phone in her ears. Meanwhile at the Richland mansion, Chloe's phone buzzed with an incoming call. She glanced at the screen to see her lawyer's name flashing on the display. She had no idea why her lawyer was calling but she just put the phone to her ears and listened in. "Hi, I hope I am not disturbing you?" He asked with a polite and professional voice. She forced a smile, masking her annoyance while trying to act nice. She had been angry since speak

The rest of the week and the week after passed in what seemed to be a blur. And soon the day of the trial came. The courtroom was buzzing with a nervous energy as everyone took their seats and waited for the proceedings to begin. Cage didn't feel a thing by the way, and he was sitting beside his lawyer who was going through some papers. His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts by the way, because he knew that this was going to further damage heir relationship. He wondered how they would ever ever when they would be together ever again. It would be very weird and even if he won, she might never accept the fact that he wasn't the one who had done it. He knew she could keep thinking that he was responsible for it, so winning the case wasn't going to solve the whole problem. He had still had to convince her, outside that, that he wasn't cheating on her or anything like that. He was heavily conflicted that there was nothing else he could do to solve it other than to wait to see how things woul

As soon as they were back from the court, the maid gently walked Chloe back to the inside. There was a sombre atmosphere now. It was very quiet and everyone knew what was going on. For Chloe, it was something else entirely. They had lost, but that wasn't any of it. She knew that she should have seen the whole thing before it was presented to the court. But she guessed she had been blinded by anger and rage that she didn't take notice of what had been staring in her face the whole time. She was shocked, and so was everyone else. She sat there on the couch, staring into the facade before her. This couldn't be real, she said to herself wishing that this was some form of cruel joke, but she knew that it wasn't. It was happening and it was real, they had lost the lawsuit and Cage had walked out a free and. And the worst thing about this was the fact that she should have known that Cage was innocent all along. It was at this moment that she realised what Cage had been telling her the whol

Mr. Richland stood there at the doorway, glaring at the girl who had nowhere to go to now. There was no way she could escape and before she could even try it, because he would teach her a very bitter lesson if she attempted. His mind was already made up and nothing was going to stop him from doing what he wanted to do now. Then for the third time that morning, he spoke to her again in the same cold and menacing voice that he had used previously.She was more than scared as she heard him tell her that again and she knew that there was nothing she could do to salvage the situation she had been caught up in. There was nothing she could do to escape, which was even more terrifying than what he was asking her to do. She wondered what he was going to use against her if she tried to force her way through. Did he have a gone, she thought, or a knife, or was he going to use his hands.She had no idea but she knew it would be a good idea not to tempt him into using any of those because she didn
