She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted Chapter 199
Elena’s POVIt’s been so long since I laughed. It’s been so long since I even had the reason to laugh.But Portia’s words nearly bring me to the edge. A slow, angry smile spread on my lips. It grows even wider when I see the sheer horror in her eyes, replacing the smugness and erasing it completely.“You want me to withdraw the case against your husband in exchange for Tristan’s freedom?” I ask, saying every word slowly so that she will understand how absurd all of it sounds. “You want me to withdraw my biggest chance to show the world how evil Russell is?”“You think it’s silly, but you never had the chance to do that, did you?” Portia steps closer to me, running her gaze up and down my body like she hasn’t seen me plainly before. “You can laugh. But we can have the trial right fucking now and it won’t change anything—Tristan is still set to go on trial, and you damn know well that he’s going to be charged guilty.”I can’t help it anymore. I laugh in her face. “And you think Russell
She Returned with Genius Babies, He Regretted Chapter 198
Elena’s POVThe shock that reverberates in my body is something that I never felt before, even with everything that has happened already.I stare at the woman in front of me, blinking hard like that motion will send her away.The last time I saw her… it feels like years ago. It feels like I was a different person then. Sneaking into that cursed event because Alexander told me not to go. Finding Tristan in there somehow, talking with him for the first time in a very long time. Actually enjoying his company…It hits me all at once. Seeing this woman and remembering where Tristan is now. How much trouble he’s in. The possibility of him never coming out again just because everyone seems to be working against me.Russell’s wife, not seeing any outright protest from us at all, welcomes herself into the chapel and holds out her hand to Margaret. “I believe we haven’t met yet. My name is Portia Finley-Harrington. I’m here on behalf of my husband Russell. We really are sorry for your loss.”Ma

Tristan’s POV“Please,” I whisper to Joseph, nearly collapsing on my knees out of nerves. “She… she has to know what I did. She has to be prepared because they will fight back!”“What did you do in there, Tristan?” Joseph asked, his voice shaking as he leaned back and tried to take a closer look at the room. “What did you do to him? Do you… do you know what he’s capable of?”“I very fucking well know.” I rub a hand over my face. “Listen. I hurt him. I hurt him real bad. But not bad enough to kill him—”“Well, that’s good to know, isn’t it?” His nostrils flared, his chest heaving in panic. “Okay. Fuck. This is bad. He didn’t come here alone. He has a bunch of men waiting outside for him. They’re going to storm in here if he doesn’t come out. And he’s not going to come out because of what you did.”“I know, but…”I trail off, realizing that I have no reasonable excuse to give him. And by asking him to help me, I’m also dooming him to pain and possibly death. Also his family.I start to

Elena’s POV“You haven’t slept.”Alexander puts his hand on my waist and steers me away from the altar.I was arranging the flowers for Mira’s wake. It’s today, and I’ve decided to take on the responsibility of planning it for her and the family. They’re still grieving, more than I am, and I know that it would be difficult for them to have to face this day.Uncle Marcus, Grandpa Harold, and the children are all at home. They have decided not to participate in it and I respected that decision. I didn’t want to bring them to a place where there could possibly be any danger, especially the kids.I didn’t even want to take Alexander here initially. I didn’t expect him to actually show up, though. He was still asleep when I left him in his apartment, and now he’s here, following me around and trying to get me to stop doing things.“I just need to make sure that everything is fine,” I tell him, fixing the urn. “I don’t want it to be a disaster. The priest has confirmed but he’s not here yet

Tristan’s POVSilence rings inside the room.Benjamin keeps his eyes on my fists, which are now unfurling because of his words. His stupid grin grows bigger, like he’s enjoying the show. It’s almost as though he can feel my heart racing inside my chest.I want to ignore it. I want to just attack him right now, to make true to my promise and hurt him the worst way I know how…But I can’t move.He takes that as his chance to walk closer to me, flexing his body like he’s interacting with a toothless lion. Dangerous, but nearly harmless.“You heard me, right, Tristan?” he asks. “I’m not kidding, you know. We can make all of this disappear. You can walk out of this prison as early as today.”For a second, I let myself dream.Walking out of this prison…How many times have I dreamed of that same exact thing?And how many times have I stopped myself from dreaming that, because I already resigned to my fate of staying here forever for a crime I didn’t commit?I can’t count. I don’t know where

Tristan’s POV“You shouldn’t be up at this hour.”I look up at the sound of the officer’s gruff voice. He’s not the same one who picked on me constantly. This was a different man. The same man who would take me out whenever someone visited. I’ve come to know his name. Joseph.He’s stern, but not an asshole. Which is why I should feel compelled to follow his orders, but I find myself just staring at him.Every time I blink, I see Mira’s face.Her smile. Her laugh. The way she’d touch me after a long day.Her anger.Her disdain.The fact that I will never see her again.I remember the first time I saw her. I remember thinking about how beautiful she was and how much I wanted her to be with me. The way I pursued her. I really thought I wasn’t going to get over her then, until Elena came to my life and it was all put in the past.But even with all of that, even with all the bad things that happened between us, Mira still tried to help.She lost her life trying to help me.How can I ever f
