Chapter: 127 Part 5: Three Years of Marriage Under Question
Even while Nahir tried to reassure her, Alexander did not appear concerned about whether she believed the testimony or whether she might turn to him for help. His attention remained on the proceedings and the decision he had come to secure.She felt an unfamiliar fear rise inside her.What if Alexander truly no longer cared what she did?What if the evidence that had once been capable of provoking an argument now meant nothing more to him than another reason to complete the divorce?She had spent years assuming she could always explain herself later. Now, when she desperately wanted the opportunity to speak with him, she could not even bring herself to stand up and approach his table.The certainty in his posture frightened her because it left her with nothing to negotiate against.After reviewing the file for another moment, the judge finally closed the document before him.“Given the evidence presented and the questions that remain unanswered, the court will take a short recess,” he

Nahir knew the danger of that impression.If the judge began questioning the credibility of their explanations, Aurelia might lose confidence in him. If she lost confidence in him, the suspicions surrounding Clara's kidnapping and the poisoned food could become harder to contain.He glanced toward Aurelia, hoping to judge how she was reacting.She appeared shaken, and her earlier confidence had disappeared. Instead of looking toward him for reassurance, she stared at her phone with a devastated expression.For the first time that morning, Nahir wondered whether she might finally be beginning to see him differently.He needed to regain control of the situation before that doubt developed into something more dangerous.Leaning slightly toward her from his seat, he tried to catch her attention.“Aurelia,” he whispered, “don't let this destroy you. Those photographs do not prove that we had an affair. You know what really happened, and you should not allow Alexander's lawyer to make you f
Chapter: 127 Part 3: Three Years of Marriage Under Question
Aurelia had prepared herself for Alexander to become angry. She had expected accusations, harsh words, and perhaps another confrontation in which she could insist that he had misunderstood her intentions.Instead, he had allowed the evidence to speak while remaining almost entirely detached from the woman he had once called his wife.She remembered the early days of their marriage, when Alexander had tried to make their home comfortable despite the dismissive treatment he received from members of her family.He had prepared meals, taken care of household responsibilities, and quietly supported her ambitions.When Aurelia Cosmetics needed help, he had stood beside her. He had contributed financially, offered ideas, and helped her navigate the company's early challenges. Even after the business began expanding, he had continued to place her needs ahead of his own.She had accepted those sacrifices as though they were simply part of his responsibilities as her husband.Now, when the cour

Aurelia swallowed, feeling the pressure mount around her. “I never cheated on Alexander.”“Then help me explain why your conduct has given the court reasons to question your testimony.”She opened her mouth, but the words refused to come; how could she explain something she had barely examined herself?She had never considered the consequences of allowing Nahir to hold her hand in public. She had not thought about how her silence might be interpreted when someone called them a couple.She had attended his welcome party without telling Alexander, dismissed her husband's concerns as jealousy, and repeatedly chosen to spend time with Nahir while assuming Alexander would always be waiting when she returned.At the time, each decision had seemed insignificant.She had convinced herself that her marriage was secure enough to survive a few neglected dinners, unanswered calls, and cancelled plans. Alexander rarely complained, and when he did, she assumed he would eventually calm down.She had

The photographs remained displayed on the courtroom screen, each one presenting another piece of a story Aurelia had never imagined she would have to defend before a judge.She sat motionless beside her lawyer, her phone resting in her hands as though the device had suddenly become too heavy to hold.Only moments earlier, she had been searching desperately for a photograph that could demonstrate the affection she shared with Alexander. Now, she could barely bring herself to look at the images of herself and Nahir.The judge examined the evidence again before lifting his gaze toward her. His expression had grown noticeably stern, and the silence that followed made Aurelia increasingly uncomfortable.“The file before this court states that you have been married for three years,” he began. “Yet when asked to produce even a single photograph demonstrating comparable affection between yourself and your husband, you were unable to provide one. Meanwhile, there are numerous photographs of yo
Chapter: 126 Part 6: Aurelia’s Story Begins to Unravel
She remembered him suggesting that they take photographs together, only for her to tell him she was too busy. She remembered leaving events early to meet Nahir, refusing to join Alexander for dinner, and treating his attempts at affection as unnecessary distractions.She had always assumed there would be another opportunity; now, sitting before a judge, she realized that those opportunities had quietly disappeared.Vivian leaned forward, watching Aurelia’s face. “Check your phone properly,” she whispered urgently. “You must have something. Even one photograph could help explain your relationship.”Aurelia continued scrolling, but her hands had begun to tremble.There were pictures of Nahir at dinners, Nahir at business meetings, Nahir at the welcome party, and Nahir at the class reunion.She had preserved those memories without hesitation, apparently believing that the moments she shared with him deserved to be recorded.Yet the gallery contained almost nothing that reflected affecti
