Chapter 98

I’ve been praying since I got back here that our paths wouldn't cross. When will fate ever be kind to me? It seems like whatever I wish for, it gives me the complete opposite.
• We're not alone in this room, though. He’s with their lawyer and secretary, while I, on the other hand, have my secretary and lawyer with me as well.
