In Love Again 69 CRISIS 2
Simon sighs and looks out the window. It was night already, and it was frustrating to sit there unable to do anything and just wait for others to do it for him. At least he had made a move first and informed his lawyer of the threat before the whole thing blew up, if not, it would have been really frustrating. He looked around the private room and found Asher wasn't anywhere in the room, he didn’t bother looking for him either, he knew he was working hard to keep things in check at the company, he pulled out his phone and saw the missed calls from Alvira, at the sight of it, he sighed again, she must be really worried about him, he had to call her and let her know he was fine. As he was about to do just that, he stumbled on the video sent to him by an anonymous number. He opened it first hoping to watch it before calling Alvira. He frowned when he saw Lana, Clarisse, and Alvira seated at a table in a cafe."I wanted to give you this.” Clarisse pulled an envelope out of her bag and p
In Love Again 70: HEART BROKEN 1
Alvira stared out the floor-to-ceiling window of the restaurant she had been sitting in, a worried expression on her face, it was past eight in the evening and the city was still as busy as ever. She didn't seem to understand why Jared asked her to meet him here when they could just talk at the mansion but that was the least of her worries right now. It has been a week since the caregivers sued Simon, and since she had spoken to Simon on the phone, and up until now, she cannot explain what had really happened, or what was going on with Simon. The day after Simon hung up on her and asked her never to show herself in front of him ever again, she had gone to meet Madam Sarah to ask about Simon’s wellbeing but she had only heard that he would be staying abroad for the time being until everything settled. It was obvious that Simon had not said anything about her to his grandparents. But she did not understand, she did not understand what she had done wrong, she did not understand why he
In Love Again 71: HEART BROKEN 2
Alvira's eyes widened in surprise then she shook her head in disbelief, “That’s not true. Simon would never believe a thing like that.” She said without batting a lash and Jared raised a brow.“Why don’t you call him and see.” He said with an air of confidence around him.“He might be angry for a few days but...” Alvira trailed off as her mind went back to the last discussion she had with Simon. He seems to be mad at her, really mad. He had broken up with her, he broke up with her without even telling her why. So this was it? This was the reason? He heard something about her?She kept her eyes glued to the plate, not wanting Jared to see the continuous emotional fluctuations in her eyes as she began to remember the things that Simon had said to her that night, so he had said all that because of what he had seen in a video? What video was it? Why didn't he confront her but accuse her instead? So he believes the things in the video over her? When he had said they were done. He really
In Love Again 72: HER ACT OF LOVE
Alvira walked out of the exam hall amidst a crowd of students, all discussing the difficulty level of the just concluded paper with their friends. She only sighed in agreement as those around her complained of how hard the paper was.“Alvira, how was your exam?” Grace, her bedmate asked as she caught up with her.It’s been two weeks since they started their exams and since she had moved into the school dormitory to squat with Grace. Her mother had convinced her to do this the week her exams were about to start, to be precise, she told her to stay in school to prevent distractions. But she knew that the distractions her mother was referring to were simply Simon and any news about him. Her mother had not stopped scolding him since she came home from her dinner date with Jared three weeks ago. She even told her to stop going to work at the Walkers’ mansion and she listened and never went back there. Even if her mother hadn’t informed her to stop, she would still not go back there. She

All his life as a lawyer, he had never felt this helpless.He looked up at the empty judge’s seat and sighed, the case was a little hard because right from the onset, the opinion of the public had been against him, he knew that even the judge was filled with prejudice, so he was attacked left and right making things difficult for him even during the court session but he didn’t blame anyone, he could only attribute his failure this time to lack of enough time for proper investigation. He was not going to give up here, he was going to file for a retrial if they lost the case. He was going to sav

In Love Again 75: TRUMP CARD 2
Edgar’s face paled at the words he heard Miller say, so he, who had been classified as a just man since the beginning of the case, was here supporting criminals and trying to put an innocent man in jail? He glanced at Simon who was sitting in his box watching the entire drama unfold as if it had nothing to do with him and sighed. There must be nothing new about what was happening right now for this man. He glanced at Mike who was doing the questioning and he felt like he finally knew why Mike was better than himself, it was simple, he had better eyes. He dropped the pen in his hand in resignation and rested back in his chair determined to watch the rest of the court session, he had no other argument.“Miss Miller, no one is judging you, I only asked if you knew the man in the video,” Mike asked again, obviously unbothered by Miller’s weeping, as all the other people watching her were. In fact, a lot of people now felt irritated by her weeping.“Yes.”“Who is he?’”“Mr. Joshua Stone!”
In Love Again 76: LANA’S THOUGHTS

As long as Simon was still alive and kicking, a man like Joshua was not his match. Unlike Joshua who schemed senselessly, Simon was thorough. He was not just born into a rich family, he knew how to make wealth and use his wealth and power for his own benefit.The only thing about him was that he was not ambitious at all, which she didn’t mind when they were together as she was an ambitious one herself, it was not good for two spouses to be ambitious at the same time, if not they would dig out each other’s edges.
