The Verdict on My Husband the Judge: GUILTY novel Chapter 44

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

The lobby goes dead silent.

Everyone’s frozen, watching Sarah drip red wine everywhere. Her makeup’s running, making her look like a deranged clown.

She drops the victim act and goes full psycho.

“What are you idiots waiting for! ARREST HER!”

“And that asshole too!”

Security looks lost, glancing between me and Connor’s stone face.

Connor tries damage control.

“Emma, it’s not what you think. Let’s go home and-”

“Go home?” I cut him off. “Isn’t THIS my home too?”

My name’s on the deed. Black and white.

Connor freezes.

Sarah sees him trying to calm me down instead of helping her. She snaps.

“FINE! You won’t arrest them? I’LL get people who will!”

She speed–dials, screaming into her phone.

“Razor! Get down here NOW! Some bitch attacked me!”

“Bring everyone!”

She hangs up, grinning like a maniac.

“Just wait. When Razor arrives, you’re gonna BEG.”

Connor’s face goes black.

“Sarah! What the hell-”

He lunges for her phone. She dodges.

Chapter 4

“She crossed the line! I want payback!”

Sarah’s completely lost it. Thinks making this bigger will forge Connor to pick her side.

Stupid. And pathetic.

I stare at these two cheating assholes and realize I’m done wasting energy being pissed.

I turn to Jake instead.

“You scared?”

Jake grins wide.

“Sis, I survived war zones. Some local gang bangers? Please.

He strips off his jacket, revealing combat fatigues underneath.

The way he moves, the look in his eyes – pure Special Forces.

Then he drops something heavy in my hand. A military commendation medal, still warm from his chest.

“Hold this.”

“Nobody touches you today.”
