Forgiving Him|Completed

☄16☄

It's been a week since I went to visit Jace. A week since I kissed him. A week and already my fingers are itching to touch him again.

I've been good on my own for seven years. With what I felt was betrayal that I was going through, I thought I was good on my own. That I didn't need a man to be happy. That I didn't need anyone apart from myself.

Now I doubt it. Guess I was wrong!

With the urge to free Jace becoming stronger day in and day out, I hired a lawyer from one of the best firms in New York. To call for an appeal to court. So that Jace's case could be looked into again.

Since the girls opened school last two weeks Friday, I decided to send an old nanny to come pick them up and take care of them till I get back. Esther, a short petit Spanish woman was the nanny who helped me take care of them when I gave birth to them as new borns and the pressure became too much. Mom helped but sometimes an extra hand was needed.

Talking about mom, I still haven't spoken to her yet. Still sneaking away from her. We have the shortest of conversations now. I can't look at her for too long without wanting to cry in frustration. I'm not ready to speak yet, maybe if she approaches me, then fine, but if not, not really.
She may approach me though, I have a feeling about that. And something tells me it's soon. I mean she can sense the tension.
I know the person behind our discomfort, is gone, and this shouldn't be a problem. But for some reason something in the pit of my stomach is still in a knot. A knot waiting to be untied.

As for Brandon, I haven't seen him since then and I'm still planning not to.

Just when I'm about to use the  bathroom and start my day, I receive a call. From the lawyer.

"Hello. Goodmorning Ms. Hamilton. How are you?"

"Splendid. What about you?" I ask her, eager to get to the real reason why he called but also wanting to be polite.

"Great madame. I'm doing great. Putting the pleasantries aside, I called to inform you that the court accepted the appeal. We were granted to prove to court on the 15th January, 2020 how innocent Mr. Stark truly is" he says and I can't help but let out a loud squeal

"Thank you so much for this great news. What a way to begin my day! I'll be sure to see on that set date. Until then, please gather as much evidence as possible so that he can be released" I say with a smile plastered on my face

"Absolutely. Have a good day Madame." He says and hungs up

Soon Jace. Soon
