Chapter 155 

Briony’s expression turned serious at once. What’s going on?” 

James sighed, realizing this wasn’t something he could explain in a couple of sentences. Instead, he took out his phone, pulled up a news article, and handed it to her

See for yourself.” 

Briony took the phone and glanced at the screen. Her face froze

The news broke this morning,James explained. Rosita posted a statement on Facebook, saying she was quitting the industry. Then some tabloids started reporting she was leaving because she’s marrying Stewart. Now there are even rumors going around that she’s pregnant, and that’s why they’re rushing the wedding.” 

At that, Briony’s brow furrowed. Almost unconsciously, her hand drifted to her stomach

James watched her, concern in his eyes. Are you okay?” 

Tm fine.Briony handed the phone back, her face giving away little emotion. I’m just surprised. I thought Stewart would at least wait until our divorce was finalized before making their engagement official.” 

Exactly!James snapped, his frustration bubbling over. He’s dragging his feet on signing the papers, yet parading around with Rosita and announcing their wedding like nothing’s wrong. Honestly, I’ve never seen such a brazen jerk in my life!” 

Briony lowered her head, her eyes clouding as her thoughts drifted back- 

She and Stewart had been secretly married for five years. Aside from those two marriage certificates, they didn’t even have wedding rings

The only time a wedding was ever mentioned was the night Stewart came home drunk after a business dinner. He’d been so out of it that she had to help him upstairs, step by step. Halfway up, he pressed her against the hallway wall

Do you want a wedding?he slurred

She’d been so stunned she could barely speak, just staring at him in disbelief

But he wouldn’t let it go, insisting she answer

It was the only time she’d ever let herself be honest with Stewart. I do,she whispered. I want a wedding that’s just ours,” 

He seemed satisfied with her answer

That night, Stewart was wild and reckless. She’d let herself get swept up in the fantasy, surrendering to his every demand

That was also the one night they hadn’t used protection

It was the first time she’d dared hope for something more from their marriage 

But when she woke up the next morning, Stewart had already left for a business trip

The next time she saw him was New Year’s Eve

Looking back now, Briony realized just how naïve she’d been 

Maybe, that night, Stewart had only seen Rosita in her

From beginning to end, she was the only one who’d ever believed in their marriage. She was the only fool swept

up in the story she’d written for herself

Briony closed her eyes, willing the ache in her chest to quiet

When she opened them again, her gaze was calmalmost icy

She looked up at James. If Stewart tries to stall on the divorce any longer, I swear I’ll show up to their wedding with our marriage certificate and crash the whole thing.” 

James grinned, instantly fired up. Deal! I’ll clear the way for youand set up a global livestream while I’m at 

Briony couldn’t help but laugh at that

Just then, her phone buzzed

It was Stewart calling

Briony had a hunchhe was finally ready to talk about the divorce

Without hesitation, she answered, right in front of James

Seen the news?Stewart’s deep voice came through the line

Hard to miss, with it plastered everywhere,Briony replied coolly. After a brief pause, she added, “I doubt you’re calling just for my blessing, Attorney Wentworth.” 

Stewart sounded tired, weighed down. Rosita has brain cancer. The wedding is so she doesn’t have any regrets.” 

Brain cancer

If it was true, maybe it was karma after all

But Briony felt no sympathy for Rosita. She didn’t care about their wedding, or about Stewart’s explanations

All she wanted was to get this divorce over with

So, when are we finalizing things?she asked, her voice icy and detached
