It was a new day for Kaisley. She thought that she would have a great day. But she's quite nervous since it's the day that the Duke requests for the judge to go on with the hearing. She dressed up well for this day. Secretary Bryan even provided tailored clothes for her with the Etrama pin on her right chest. Victoria raised her thumb and nodded at her. 

"That's beautiful," Stacey said. "You should be more beautiful than before. It's what a divorced wife should look like. Right?" 

"I have to agree with that," Kaisley said as she reached her lipsticks and stared at the colors. She doesn't know what to choose. 

"I suggest you wear nude lipsticks." Stacey approached her and picked the color of nude lipstick that would compliment her porcelain color. Any color still compliments her beauty. 

"Or you can wear something dark," Victoria said. "Like crying out for, 'this is for revenge, bitch'. It's enough to give them the hint." 

"Dark would do." Stacey agreed. "But, she should have looked like a battered wife." Stacey bit her tongue and looked at Kaisley. "Sorry, I didn't mean to~~" She stammered.

"No, it's fine," Kaisley said. "I don't love him and I just want to embarrass them as much as possible." She picked the nude color. "I won't forget the beating he did to me. Including his mother. I won't forget the embarrassment that they gave me." 

"We are here to back you up," Victoria said. She's happy that finally, she's back with her real friends. Kaisley always felt alone even though she was surrounded by people. Now, with Stacey and Victoria back in her life, she feels comforted. 

"Thank you, girls." She smiled at them as the three cuddled in group hugs. 

"Sorry, I am not interrupting?" A knock on the door. 

They turned to Caleb who was wearing a black suit and red tie. 

"To which funeral are you going?" Stacey asked. 

"Well," he shrugged. "To the future ex's funeral. Anyway, we can't be late." 

"That's cheerful of you," Victoria commented. "Way to go, Cal!" She cheered up. 

"Actually, that's your husband's joke, V." Caleb said. "He's the one who chose this for me too." 

Victoria rose her brows as the girls looked at each other. 

"Okay, I think he's really into this." Victoria signed Stacey. "K, finish your makeup. I'm quite thirsty." She exited the room. 

"I have to pee," Stacey said as an excuse as she left the room. Caleb and Kaisley looked at each other awkwardly but Caleb approached her and smiled. 

"How are you?" He asked. She stepped closer to him, then she hugged him. Caleb didn't hesitate to hug her back as he rubbed her lower back. "Kick their asses. Okay?" 

She giggled and gently pushed herself from him and looked up at him. 

"Thank you, Cal." 

"Anything, K." 

She reached his tie and pulled him down and kissed him passionately. Caleb froze for a moment and he didn't respond but he wrapped his arms around her small waist and responded to her kiss. It's been a while since they last did it. They kissed like before. But it's more passionate and more sensual. She pulled out after a few seconds. 

"I just want to do that. I am still married to that bastard and I want to cheat too." 

Caleb smiled, not even offended. He let her use him anytime and however, she liked. He patted her head and kissed her forehead. 

"Go finish your make-up. I'll be waiting outside." 

"This won't take long." She said as she went back to her dresser and put her lipstick on. Caleb watched her and waited for her. Then, she reached for her purse and smiled at him. Caleb pressed his lips as he scooped her face and kissed her forehead. 

"You are strong." He whispered. 

They get to the court in time. At this moment, her husband was wearing a nice suit and she even saw that half-sister Lina who was smirking at her. She didn't know what they did, that's why they were smirking. When Pio Fonteir stood from his seat to greet her with a kiss, the bodyguards quickly blocked her. Then, he glanced at Caleb who was with Stacey and Victoria with a smirk. 

The hearing started and the judge listened to each side. First to Kaisley's side and have the evidence shown to the people present. Then, finally to the slides that showed her affair to Caleb. However, those photos were taken before she was married to Pio Fonteir. She only remained calm as Caleb creased his brows. 

"It said that she had an affair with this man even after they were married. It's been going on for years and she hasn't been home every time." 

Kaisley remained calm as she stared at the photos of sweet moments together with Caleb. She didn't know where they got it and there's another photo of her and Caleb together with bodyguards. That was days ago and the Judge was looking through the pictures and she nodded. 

"Miss Bolton," The judge asked. 

"The photos with me and Caleb that were close together were years ago. It was before we broke up as a couple. I wasn't married at that time." 

"Your honor, also if you noticed the quality of the photos, the other one was from two years ago and the other one was in the latest quality. Their features have matured now after two years." Caleb's lawyer said. "Mr. Tanner helped Miss Kaisley as the Duke requested. He was also there when Miss Kaisley was violated by her husband and the mistress in the public." 

The video was taken on how the man treated her with the mistress who caused her miscarriage.

"What are you doing in Lwazi again, Miss Bolton." 

"I was summoned by my boss." 

"And the video with Mr. Tanner?" 

"It's a coincidence." She answered. "I was going there for a walk and fresh air after I saw my husband check-in with my half-sister in the Hotel where I stayed." 

The hearing continues as Kaisley received treatment from the money of her husband and she wants 4.5 million in compensation. It's not the money that she was after. It was freedom. In the hearing, to make sure that it was clear that she's not after the money, the lawyers showed the judge why it's 4.5 million. It's much less than the damage that she received. She also complained about non-consensual sex. He did it to her when she was beaten and there are videos to prove that. 

The money will be divided and put into the project of shelter to the homeless between the boundary of Lwazi and Berkon. She cooperated with the Etrama to build it for countless homeless people in Berkon City. The money won't go to waste and she won't receive a single cent from it. The Judge will fulfill her wishes while he'll be in prison for three years. Six months for beating her, one year for raping her, and one year and six months for attempted murder. As for the mistress, she'll be in prison for five months since she's the one who caused the miscarriage with the husband who beat her up. The mistress can bail out too. 

They also claimed that it wasn't his child, however, she presented the test results taken from the hospital in the City of Pilo. When they were claiming that he's infertile, his mistress got out of rage. She was pregnant with his child at the moment. The judge threw away the fake evidence that the Fonteir provided and had her decision final. 

They finally left the courtroom but in the corridor, the mother-in-law was in a rage but Victoria and Stacey were there to stand up for her. 

"I am begging you," Mrs. Fonteir swallowed her pride. "Pull out the charges. Your sister~~she's pregnant." 

"I don't care. I don't belong to your family or Bolton's family. I will have my mother's surname back." She looked at her stepmother and her father who had those disgusting looks in their eyes. "I am sure that you can take care of the legitimate child, father." She said as the bodyguards pushed them away to make way for them. She didn't hear anything from them anymore. 

The time that they reached the parking lot and the fresh air passed through them, she finally felt free. She smiled and put her shades on. 

"Let's celebrate?" Caleb asked. "The Duke set up a rest house for us with the best view." 

"He did?" Kaisley asked. 

"Yes," He smiled. "In fact, he asked for your permission if he could adopt you as his granddaughter. The papers are waiting." 

Kaisley wanted to help the Duke so much. That's why converting her name to Etrama was also a benefit for him. However, she won't participate in any royalty or be in line as a Queen or something. She just wants to help the Duke and the Etrama and taking her as his adopted granddaughter. It's one way to cover up the truth that Kenzo was alive and to divert the media to her. Also, it's one way to help her and to serve in the royal empire. They always give her the things that she needs. 

"Thank you for your help," Kaisley said softly as Victoria and Stacey hugged her. 

"It's nothing," Victoria said. 

She had real friends with her and she's happier than before. She met Caleb's eyes and she mouthed her 'thank you' to me.. He smiled and nodded his head.
