She had long since severed ties with Mars Wright, and with that divorce came a sense of liberation. She had no obligation to maintain appearances for anyone. In her world, facing down a rowdy, inebriated childhood friend was merely another day. Any flicker of doubt she might have felt would only signify that remnants of her feelings for Mars lingered, and she was determined to prove to herself that those days were behind her.

As Greg Lynn caught wind of Autumn's intention to call the police, his agitation morphed into a furious storm. "You really think you can call the cops on me? You bitch! Do you even know who I am?" His voice was a mix of anger and desperation, echoing through the air. Autumn, with a cool demeanor, shot back, "Have you forgotten how you used to follow Mars around like a lost puppy, hanging on his every word?" "And what about how you did his laundry every single day back in college? Surely that memory isn't lost on you." She leaned in closer, her eyes narrowing. "Cut the act, Greg.

If you weren't so smart and capable, do you honestly believe Mars would have ever given you a second glance?" The small crowd that had gathered around them stood in stunned silence. Was this man genuinely trying to defend his friend? It sounded more like he was unmasking Mars as a complete jerk. If he had such disdain for her, why on earth did he marry her? And now he was implying that he was with her solely because she was intelligent and accomplished? Was he merely a leech? After draining her energy and resources, he dared to return and stir up chaos?

Was he attempting to manipulate his way into a position of dependency? Greg, oblivious to the disdainful glares directed his way, was lost in the haze of alcohol. His words became increasingly vile, tumbling out like a torrent, each more offensive than the last. The onlookers couldn't help but grimace, as if his words were tainting the very air around them. Yet Autumn remained unfazed, standing with an air of serenity that belied the chaos swirling around her. She allowed his venomous words to flow over her like water off a duck's back.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Nina had been on a mission to find parking, her patience wearing thin. After what felt like an eternity, she finally secured a spot. As she hurried up the stairs, her heart raced at the sight of police officers surrounding the entrance. Panic gripped her-what had happened to Autumn? She squeezed through the throng of spectators, her eyes scanning for her sister-in-law. Then, her gaze fell upon a brutish man unleashing a tirade of insults at Autumn.

Rage ignited within her, and without a moment's hesitation, she charged forward like a cannonball, delivering a resounding slap to the man's face. The sharp crack echoed through the restaurant, silencing the clamor of voices. The police were taken aback by the ferocity of such a young woman. They rushed to intervene, their authoritative presence demanding order. "Hey, young lady, what do you think you're doing? Do you know this man?" Nina, standing her ground, appeared composed and collected.

"Officer, I don't know him, but he was hurling insults at my sister-in-law!" She added with a defiant spark, "His mouth is so filthy, I figured I'd help clean it out!" Autumn hadn't anticipated Nina would leap into action like that, but the sight of her sister rushing to her defense filled her with warmth. Quickly, she joined Nina's side, taking her hand gently. "I'm sorry, officers. This is my sister. She's young and sometimes lets her temper get the best of her. She just couldn't stand hearing someone yell at me." Relief washed over Nina as she caught Autumn's reassuring gaze.

She instinctively followed her sister's lead. "Yes, Officer. I just... I lost my cool for a moment. I apologize..." Before the police could respond, Greg erupted once more, his voice filled with indignation. "I've never been hit in my entire life! Just you wait! I'll make you pay for this!" Nina raised an eyebrow, incredulous. "Really? With a mouth that disgusting, I'm surprised nobody's knocked you out before. I guess people are just too polite nowadays, putting up with trash like you." The corner of Autumn's mouth twitched, nearly bursting into laughter at the absurdity of the situation.

Greg, blindsided by Nina's sharp retort, nearly choked on his rage. "What did you just say, you-" "Alright, enough!" an officer interjected, trying to regain control of the situation. "You're still spewing nonsense in front of the police? What do you think you're accomplishing here?" "You realize you can be arrested for disorderly conduct, right?" Deep down, Greg felt a flicker of fear at the mention of the authorities. He mumbled a few incoherent curses under his breath, but the fight in him had dwindled significantly. Seizing the moment, Autumn pulled Nina aside, her voice low and urgent.

"Nina, who is that guy?" Autumn quickly filled her in on Greg's identity, and Nina's fury ignited anew. "Seriously? Is he out of his mind? Mars is a total jerk; how does this guy have the audacity to bother you?" Autumn felt a strange mix of emotions. Logically, Greg had no business being there. Yet here he was, crashing into her life like an unwanted storm. She despised complications, and a glance at her watch reminded her that a visit to the police station would mean abandoning her plans with her old college friend. She pulled out her phone, ready to call him and explain the situation.

"Autumn." The voice was both unfamiliar and oddly reminiscent. Autumn looked up to see her old friend descending the staircase from the second floor. Nina's eyes followed Autumn's gaze, and she too spotted the man making his way down. He was dressed casually, tall and well-built, exuding a charm that could easily grace the cover of a fashion magazine. Nina had always considered her brother, Owen Bennett, to be strikingly handsome, believing it would be nearly impossible to find someone who could rival him. Yet this man before her was giving Owen a serious run for his money.

They were two different styles, indeed. Owen had an innate aristocratic air, an aloofness that commanded respect and admiration from afar. But this man radiated a gentle warmth, as serene as a beautiful painting. Just being near him made her heart flutter. Nina's eyes widened, sparkling with intrigue. Unaware of how close he was getting, she clutched Autumn's arm and whispered, "Autumn, you never told me your old college friend was this hot!" As soon as the words escaped her lips, she heard two soft chuckles behind her. She froze, her head whipping around to meet Autumn's knowing gaze.

"Autumn, what are you laughing at?" Autumn shot her a playful look, just as the man, with a warm smile, introduced himself. "Thanks for the compliment. Autumn mentioned you. You're Nina, right? It's a pleasure to meet you." Nina gasped, her face burning with embarrassment. Did she really just say that out loud? Oh my god. How could she have let something so mortifying slip? Nina didn't know where to direct her gaze as she felt her cheeks flush crimson, gripping Autumn's arm tightly. "N-nice to meet you... I...

ugh, Autumn..." In a flurry of embarrassment, she buried her face in Autumn's shoulder. Autumn's smile widened, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Long time no see, Leo. You've become even more handsome." Leo's gaze softened as he looked at Autumn. "You've changed a lot too." "You seem more at peace. When I heard about your divorce, I thought about reaching out, but I didn't want to intrude. I never expected you to be the one to call me first." "I heard there was some trouble downstairs. Are you alright?" Autumn shook her head, about to respond when a police officer approached them. "Ms.

Lopez, we need you to come to the station to give a statement." Autumn nodded, her expression apologetic. "Of course." She turned to Leo, her heart heavy with regret. "I'm so sorry, Leo. Something urgent has come up. It looks like lunch will have to wait." Leo, ever gracious, smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry about it. I feel partly responsible for this mess. It wouldn't be right to leave you two to handle this alone. I'll accompany you to the station." Autumn hesitated for a moment, concern flickering in her eyes. "Isn't that too much trouble for you?" "It's no trouble at all.

It wouldn't be gentlemanly to leave two ladies to deal with this alone. Let's go." With that, Leo began to walk ahead, his presence a comforting shield as Autumn and Nina followed close behind. Conclusion In the aftermath of the chaos, Autumn felt a profound sense of clarity wash over her. The confrontation with Greg had not only solidified her resolve to move on from her past with Mars but had also revealed the strength she possessed within herself.

Standing her ground against Greg's vitriol was a testament to her growth, a stark contrast to the woman she once was-someone who would have cowered under such aggression. With Nina by her side, fiercely defending her, Autumn realized that she was no longer alone in this journey. This moment became a catalyst, igniting a newfound sense of empowerment and a deeper bond between the sisters, reminding her that familial love could serve as both a shield and a source of strength. As they made their way to the police station, accompanied by Leo, Autumn felt a flicker of hope stirring within her.

Readers can anticipate a deeper exploration of Autumn's emotional landscape as she confronts her past while navigating the unexpected presence of Leo. Meanwhile, Nina's fierce loyalty to her sister will be tested as they delve into the aftermath of the altercation. How will she react to the complexities of Autumn's past relationships, especially with Mars and Greg? With her protective instincts ignited, Nina might find herself embroiled in more than just sibling dynamics, potentially leading to confrontations that challenge her own perceptions of love and loyalty.

As the plot thickens, the chapter promises to unravel layers of friendship, betrayal, and the quest for personal peace, leaving readers eager to discover how Autumn will reclaim her narrative in the face of adversity. admin
