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
Chapter: 126 Part 5: Aurelia’s Story Begins to Unravel
Alexander did not accuse Aurelia of being a terrible wife or demand that the judge condemn her. He simply described what had happened, leaving the evidence to speak for itself.That restraint made the testimony more difficult for Aurelia to dismiss.She remembered Alexander waiting for her on evenings when she had promised to return early. She remembered his unanswered calls and the meals he had prepared before discovering that she would not be coming home on time.For years, she had considered those incidents insignificant compared with the pressures of running her company.Now she could no longer ignore what they revealed about the distance between them.The judge instructed Alexander to sit down and turned back toward his lawyer. “Proceed with the remaining evidence.”The lawyer clicked to the next set of images.Photographs appeared one after another, showing Aurelia and Nahir together on different occasions. Some had been taken at restaurants, others at public events and business

Alexander’s lawyer addressed the judge.“Your Honour, this recording was also shared online. Its public availability allows the original footage to be examined independently, and the court can assess the context in which the statement was made.”The judge nodded. “Proceed.”Aurelia looked toward Nahir, hoping he would offer some explanation that might lessen the damage. He remained still, his face carefully composed, although a faint tension had appeared around his mouth.He had not expected the recordings to be presented in this order.He had known that people at the reunion might have captured photographs or videos, but he had assumed that the circumstances could be explained away.Seeing the footage displayed before the judge made him realize that the evidence could be more troublesome than he had anticipated.Still, he kept his expression controlled; he could not afford to appear nervous.The third recording began.This time, the screen showed the elaborate celebration Aurelia had
