Chapter 4
I switched on my my phone to so many notifications from James and his family “ eve listen to me and listen to me good you have taken my kids without my knowledge just know that I will be coming for you and when I do I will take those kids away from you do you hear.” James was so angry over the phone I was so happy. He ripped my heart and stamped all over it. I could here his new girlfriend in the background of that message. On the flight to England I did some digging and was mortified to learn that James had been having and affair with the blonde lady for months and that they were secretly engaged. They wanted to take the kids away from me. James was a top lawyer he could get what he wanted when he wanted. But not now he will have to battle with me at the English courts were he had no influence. I am gonna get my divorce and screw him over.
The next day I went into the town centre to meet Italias colleague a family lawyer. Italia went to law school after I left and got her self a swanky job at a top law firm. I was in luck because I knew that I had a good chance of finally beating James. “Hi Evangelina my name is Samuel Thompson I’m one of the lawyers here at Thompson’s & Colins” a handsome tall man shook my hand. We began walking towards a big glass room which looked like the office conference room. We finally sat down. I couldn’t help but stare at his stunning face he had a sharp jaw line that could cut you with curl brown hair that you just want to touch and the loveliest green eyes. “Evangelina?” Italia nudged me “yes” I said taking my eyes of him and looking at Italia who was frowning in the chair next to me “ so Evangelina Italia has filled me in on most of the details and I must say you have had a rough 48 hrs” Samuel said. “ I have and now I need a divorce and a custody settlement” I said looking at Samuel who showed no emotion “ I’m sure Italia also mentioned that James my .. umm soon to be ex- husband is a top lawyer in New York. “ yes she did and that doesn’t scare me at all because I’m the England’s top family lawyer he’s got a city and I’ve got a whole country” he smiled. I smiled back “ well let’s take this bastard down” I grinned. “ first of all you need to make a life for you and your children here in the uk, so get them into schools here. When we take it to court we must show that they are indeed happy here. That also goes for you too, Italia says you are a doctor?” He asked “yes I umm well I haven’t practiced in a while because James insisted I stay home and bring up the kids “ I replied “well I’m going to need you
To start practicing again, we really need to present you as a stable mother who can look after her kids.... James will most certainly try and paint you as a bad mother” Samuel said. I clenched my fists “he’s the only bad parent here” I responded. “Nevertheless it is still important for you to start building a life for yourself here in the mean time. Do not contact him or any of his family and try and do the same for your children” he stood up buttoning the top button of his suit jacket. “ take that ways with you whilst we start legal proceedings” he shook my hand and noosed to Italia. Me and Italia sat in the room for a while taking all the information in. “Well girl at least that is sorted now we can focus on building a life for you and the kids here” she smiled. “ Scarlett really loves her dad it’s going to be difficult keeping her here” I frowned. “ she’s a teenager they will do anything to be a nuisance don’t you worry she will be a devons newest it girl before you know it” she laughed.
