JASMINE’S POV
Once I was done getting ready, Louis and I left his apartment. With 10 minutes to spare before we had to leave too. Tony had already left for school. This was Tony’s last week of school then he would be on summer holidays. The school closed on Wednesday. After the hearing today and the tone was set for the eventual outcome of the divorce, Tony and I could plan something fun to do. I crossed my fingers hoping it would end in my favor.
Upon arriving at the court of family affairs which was located in the department of justice, in the middle of the city center. We entered the large Gothic building. We went to the courtroom my divorce case had been assigned.
We crossed paths with Keith and Diana as we headed toward our assigned courtroom. For a moment we just glared at each other. We looked each other up and down. I noticed Keith’s face was slightly bruised from his fight with Louis.
The two then walked away from us.
"Well that was awkward," Louis commented as we watched them walk away.
"Tell me about it," I said.
Feeling the nerves get to me my palms and armpits felt sweaty and I feared stains were on my clothes. "I need to go to the bathroom," I told Louis. There were about twenty minutes left until the hearing started.
"You’ll be fine. Try not worry too much. But go ahead. I’ll wait for you inside the courtroom then," he told me.
"Okay," I replied.
I went to the bathroom with the only female bodyguard, who was a part of Louis and I’s entourage.
As I checked suit and my armpits for sweat stains I was relieved to see my fear was all in my head. I was stain-free.
The door to the bathroom then suddenly opened. I turned to look and saw it was Diana. Had she come here looking for a fight? I wondered there’s no way she just happened to just want to use the bathroom as well at the same time.
"Diana, I’m surprised you came for the hearing," I started.
"Of course, I came to support my fiance," she said as her arms folded in arrogance.
"Good for you," I responded uninterested.
"What are you even going to present?" she asked.
"The usual claims. I’m going to try clear my name. I’ll tell the judge you lied and tried to ruin my life," I told her.
A smirk appeared on Diana’s face. "Don’t you get tired of taking losses? You’ve never been able to win this game Jasmine," she said to me.
My own smirk appeared on my face. "No, I’m addicted to losses. I just can’t help it," I played into her insult.
