Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 64

After this public trial, Melody still had the guts to seek help. But I didn’t let them spew out any more nonsense. The police officers joined the scene pretty quickly, Henry had already called them to file a complaint.

The grim clouds of upcoming doom darkening Leo’s face washed a wave of mean pleasure over me, I laughed to see his mouth agape with shock. He dug his fingers painfully in the nearby chair’s back when the officer flashed the cuffs in front of Melody.

“Miss Melody, you are under arrest for attempted murder and blackmailing charges.

You have the right to remain silent …”

She struggled against the hold, crying out loud, but no one listened to her. Two officers stepped forward to arrest Leo as well; however, his legal advisor saved him in time. Mr. Grant materialized out of thin air and said,

“Mr. Leo has no connection to this attack. You can’t arrest him!”

…

Due to lack of evidence about his direct indulgence in the attack, Leo was able to save his sorry ass. But the aftermath of the dramatic logo-reveal event balanced this disappointment.

“Is Mr. Leo a Hockey star or a heartless beast?”

This news became a top trend on every social media platform, newspapers were full of articles against him. Some even dug up our past and published bizarre stories about our relationship, painting Leo as a Devil.

I thoroughly enjoyed these fireworks in the solace of my home, scrolling through the news all the time. My patience of five years has shown me this day. I waited and meticulously planned my revenge, outclassing the mastery of an evil man. It was the moment to celebrate my first victory.

After a week of these happy moments, Henry took me out for dinner, he was more thrilled than me.

“Laura, all the investors, sponsors, and fans have abandoned that shady man.

They aren’t interested in working with Leo.”

Henry ordered the bottles of red wine, pouring us drinks, he wanted us to get drunk tonight.

“Have you seen his so-called serious statements? I am amazed that this man called it a grave misunderstanding in personal matters.”

Cursing him inwardly, I admitted that my second rival was a worthy one. Leo was definitely up to some new shit as he spoke apologetically.

“I have no words to express my heartfelt remorse for this unfortunate incident.

But please trust me. I don’t know that …”

Blah! Blah! Blah!

Biting my tongue, I heard his apology, keenly observing his face. It was indeed suspicious how he dared to meet us after a week. I waited for his perfectly devised plan with a straight face, allowing him to set the stage for his play.

But what he proposed was beyond my imagination!

“There’s nothing that can rectify my mistakes, Henry. No apology is proper for what happened in the past. But here’s one thing that I can do to show my honesty.

Please let me serve you as an overlooked, substitute player in the agency.”
