The store experienced an unprecedented surge in customers on Monday morning, which I found surprisingly gratifying given the scandal surrounding my leaked photo with Noah. Curiosity led me to check online blogs last night, and I was relieved to discover that 70% of the information circulating about me was inaccurate. According to the blogs, I am portrayed as an unmarried woman operating a clothing store, living a comfortable life with my affluent parents in the City.They claimed Noah and I met discreetly at a friend's wedding in Tacoma just last month, trying to keep our relationship a secret ever since. Thankfully, they made no mention of my past marriage, recent divorce, or the fact that I have twin daughters. I am truly grateful for that omission.As anticipated, a few envious trolls, predominantly female, resorted to posting spiteful comments beneath the blog posts, suggesting that I am not up to Noah's standards and even comparing me to a baby panda. Some of them even had the

"You really don't want me as an adversary, Cassandra ," she warned, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. With an air of indifference, she turns around and saunters out of my store. Joe and I were left speechless, merely observing her departure, as though she owns the place and we are her subordinates. It's incredibly frustrating!"What just happened?" Joe finally manages to ask, his voice filled with bewilderment."I have no clue, but I won't tolerate such nonsense here or anywhere else. I'm going to confront Noah and make it clear that this behavior is unacceptable," I assert, determined to address the issue.Leaving Joe and other workers to tidy up the store and prepare for closing, I march angrily to my office. Once inside, I snatch my mobile phone from the desk and dial Noah's number. He answers immediately, almost as if he's been anticipating my call."Hey, Cassandra ," he greets with a cheerful tone. "I've been contemplating the right moment to reach out to you. I'm genuine

"I have no regard for the court's decision. I am determined to take my granddaughters from the clutches of this immoral woman!" John Benson, my former father-in-law, passionately declares. His sentiment is met with a nod of agreement from his wife, Josephine Benson, and his brother, Jude Benson."Mr. Benson, please listen carefully. If you persist with this course of action, you risk losing your visitation rights entirely. What you are contemplating right now is classified as kidnapping, and everyone present in this room understands that it is a criminal offense," explains my lawyer, Grace Mac. "The court of law has granted my client full custody of her children. Therefore, if you have any reservations about that judgment, you should address them through legal channels, as responsible and law-abiding citizens would.""I will definitely bring this matter before the court," assures John Benson with determination. "However, for now, I am taking my grandchildren away from this woman of qu

Without hesitation, Josephine slowly stood up, tightly clutching her purse against her chest as if it were her protective shield. "We're leaving, not because of your threats, but for the sake of the children we came here to rescue. You will undoubtedly hear from us again, and when that time comes, it will require more than a cunning lawyer to shield you from our fury."With a subtle nod, she signals her husband and brother in Law to follow her, leading the way to the front door. Once outside, I swiftly secured the door and peered through the window, ensuring they’ve left.They all got into Jude's vibrant red Porsce, and a Mercedes benz. and the vehicles immediately zoomed away.As I let out a deep breath of relief, I made my way back to the living room.

"We need to take immediate action regarding tonight's incident.Filing a complaint is crucial, and we should also obtain a restraining order to ensure those indiv

Today, my lingering sour mood from yesterday persisted, and I find myself secretly yearning for a day off to stay at home and wallow in my thoughts. However, deep down, I know that even if I had taken the day off, I would have inevitably grown bored within an hour and ended up coming to work. Despite Grace's comforting words, I couldn't shake off a lingering sense of apprehension about the possibility of my ex-in-laws making another disruptive visit to my house today. To counter this unease, I resolved to leave work earlier than usual so that I can return home in time to spend quality moments with my children before their bedtime.Strangely, I've come to realize that I miss Noah , despite having only met him twice. It's perplexing to feel this way toward a man whose phone number I angrily blocked.

"We were married for 7 years together," I replied with a tinge of melancholy in my voice. "That's a considerable amount of time to remain married to someone who is still obsessed with his ex-girlfriend."He nodded sympathetically, understanding the difficult situation I had endured. "So, shall we go in my car or yours?""Listen, Noah ," i said earnestly. "I'm going to need you to step back this time. Let me face this battle alone. It's something I need to confront on my own terms.""I understand your concerns, but I cannot allow you to venture into the lion's den alone. I am already here, and my purpose in coming was to see you. Therefore, let us go together. I assure you, I will not impede your progress or utter a word.""I fail to see how this would be helpful. Your presence alongside me would only confirm their accusations.""Why do you place so much importance on their opinions? You are no longer married to their son, and according to the law, you are single and free to pursue a r

Mrs. P trembled as she anxiously asked, "What should we do?" A Police officer directed her question towards me, "Have you contacted the Lady who usually picks them up from school?"Regrettably, I responded with a feeble voice, "No, I no longer possess her phone number."The Policeman persists, inquiring, "Do you have any other phone numbers of individuals residing in this household?""Yes," I inform him, "I have the parents' phone numbers.""Please, call one of them and inquire about the whereabouts of your children. If possible, record the conversation as it could potentially serve as valuable evidence later on," he instructs.My goodness! It's dawning on me that this situation is gradually transforming into a criminal case. Swiftly, I retrieved my phone from my purse, intending to call my former father-in-law. I dialed the number, but it rang continuously without an answer. I made two more attempts before surrendering in frustration."Try another number," Noah suggests, observing t

After ninety minutes had passed, Noah's friend successfully received a notification indicating the current location of Josephine Benson's phone, thanks to satellite mapping and geotagging. The coordinates pointed to an approximate location in Kirkland, approximately a 20-minute drive from our current location in Bellevue.Curiosity piqued, Noah turned to his friend, Tom, and inquired, "Is it possible to obtain the precise address of that place?"Confidently, Tom responded, "Certainly," swiftly maneuvering his fingers on the keyboard to retrieve the information. He reached into his desk drawer, procured a pen and paper, and hastily jotted down the address where Josephine Benson was likely concealing herself along with Noah's children. Handing the piece of paper to Noah , he declared, "Here it is. And if you wish to see the building, you can check it out here."As he rotated his mouse counterclockwise and pressed the left button, the map displayed on the screen seamlessly zoomed in,
