Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 120

"Miss. Laura can visit her son on weekends. Or both parents can discuss a better plan for visitation."

The court disregarded Leo's all shortcomings, praising his efforts for Zoe; he raised our son alone after my fake death. According to them, I was a reckless woman with no understanding of the consequences, I ran away and didn't think about the divorce. My seemingly justified decision deprived me of my son, deserting my life. I hadn't expected this outcome of my endeavor.

A lone tear escaped my eye as my shoulders slouched, a heavy sigh spilled from my lips. Lowering my head, I stared at the ground, avoiding eye contact with Bright. He did his best to alarm me, keeping me at bay, but I didn't listen to him. Now, this painful disappointment was my fate.

However, he didn't even utter an inconsiderate word and hugged me tightly. "It's ok, Laura. We'll go through this tough time together.

You aren't alone. I am with you."

Henry argued with lawyers for this defeat, as they had promised us a positive result. Mr. Harold listened to him calmly and said, "I have requested Miss Laura to let us bring Zoe to the court, that kid's statement would be enough to get the court's sympathy.

He was our strongest bet in this case!"

Just like a cold-hearted person, Mr. Harold wanted to use Zoe as a weapon, bringing him here to see his parents' fight. He was oblivious of the fact that my kid was already suffering, involving him in such matters would make him resent us even more.

This cautiousness cost me a fortune, but I was at peace. At least, I didn't snatch my kid's innocence for my victory. It was enough for me to sleep at night.

I took a deep breath and got up from the bench, Bright held my hand to escort me to the car. But our way was obstructed by over a six feet tall man. Leo stood before the door and pleaded.

"Listen to me once, Laura. I don't wish to kick you out of Zoe's life. We can raise him together if you ..."

A bitter smile stretched my lips as I raised my head, speaking firmly.

"Congratulations, Leo. I think you should go and celebrate your success instead of wasting my time!"

Henry pushed Leo away and cleared the path, I didn't look back, although he kept calling me from behind. Concealing my agony, I wore my sunglasses and walked briskly, the piercing questions of journalists on the way to my car sent shivers down my spine.

"Mr. Leo has won the custody battle, what will be your next move, Miss Laura?

Will you patch-up with him for the sake of your child?

"Miss Laura and Mr. Leo are Zoe's parents; they should forget the past grievances and live together as a family. They could make a warm home for him."

Many people hoped that I would leave my grudges and be with Leo, we were a match made in heaven.

Eww!

It could be a match made in hell, not heaven!

Cursing inwardly, my grip on my cell phone tightened as I read inappropriate tweets about Bright. People were attacking him mercilessly, destroying his public image.

"Miss Laura wants to be with Mr. Leo, but a wannabe ex-star, ice hockey player Bright, has seduced her for his career. He is pouring venom in her heart against Mr. Leo!"

"Bright should break up with Miss Laura, he is dating a married woman!"
