The Art Of Revenge (Thalia Nash and Brandon) novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1 

Thalia’s Pov 

As the judge gave out the final divorce judgment, I kept squirming and pulling on my sweater. My mind went completely blank. I already knew the outcome at the back of my mind. While I was idle, foolish, and stup*d in love, he planned it all out, calculated it, waited, and struck.

I turned my head and glanced at the man who was expecting the same outcome, noticing his mouth curve into a smile. He turned to face the back of the room forcing me to shift my eyes to match his.

She was in the rear seat, dressed in a yellow dress, a white bonnet, and wearing her customary fine jewelry. She returned my attention with a sarcastic smile. I could see that her ostentatious appearance was a product of my wealth, my birthright.

He spent it all on her: her hair, her jewelry, her nails, her pedicure, manicure, and even her shoes, everything down to her pant.

“Hey, Miss Nash?” My lawyer called my name, “Miss Nash,” but I ignored him. The judge had scarcely read out the verdict for two seconds when the m*ron began addressing me by my maiden name.

I couldn’t take my eyes away from the other woman, who couldn’t even wait for him in the parking lot or at their villa. The villa which they both shared and was purchased with my money, my birthright money.

Everything they possessed was mine, and the court just ruled on the company and handed it to them because I was so foolish as to sign on every piece of paper he placed in front of me. In front of him, I used to behave like a naive sixteen-year-old who got proposed to for the first time. I had no idea he was methodically robbing me of everything that I owned.

When I looked around, I observed that everyone was up on their feet. I followed suit and rose from my drenched seat as a result of my incessant sweating.

He moved up to her without shame and they kissed passionately for the entire world to watch. They were giving out indications that they didn’t have anything to hide, that they hadn’t done anything wrong. Most importantly, it was a calculated attempt to offend me and make me shed

more tears.

My lawyer spoke up again, but I ignored him and went to stare at my now-ex-husband. Yes, you’ve heard the scenario before: the husband. dumps his boring wife for a more attractive woman. Well sorry to blow your bubble, mine was different.

It started four years ago when Biotech company, a company owned by Josh Nelson, that’s the man who just divorced me and left me with nothing. His company was on the verge of bankruptcy when his father, my late Father’s best friend, came up with a proposal. And together with my father, they decided to merge their companies.
