Chapter 51

LUCAS

Stefano had told me that Drew had requested one last session at the request of her client. I didn’t understand why she still wanted to go to court after we had agreed to revert back to an out-of-court settlement. I suppose we had to put on a show and see the court proceedings through, although we both knew the outcome. The paperwork had already been drawn up and just needed our signatures.

During our last hearing, she disrupted the session again when she told the judge she was still very much in love with me and didn’t want a divorce. Stefano was not willing to give in to her unreasonable demands and convinced me to give another attempt at a court settlement. After today, I was going to pay the strega whatever she wanted. Then I would finally be free.
