Chapter 31: My Husband
"I thought Dina was only joking, but it turns out it’s true," Paul grunted, his voice laced with frustration. "Who is it then? Who’s the bastard?"
Rain didn’t bother to look at him as she replied, "I don’t think I owe you an explanation now that we’ve broken up." She kept her eyes on the elevator, hoping the doors would open sooner.
"We can still be together, Rain, even if you’re married," he shamelessly suggested. "It doesn’t matter to me as long as we’re still in a relationship."

Paul’s face darkened as he stepped closer, his expression menacing. However, just before something could happen, the elevator doors slid open. Quickly, Rain stepped inside, joining the others already there.
To her dismay, however, Paul followed, his presence looming behind her as the doors closed.
A tense silence enveloped the air. It was almost suffocating, and Rain was practically relieved when the doors finally opened to her floor. Without a second thought, she quickly stepped out, eager to put some distance between herself and Paul.
As she walked to her office, she could feel the eyes of her co-workers on her, even as they greeted her with polite smiles. Megan, her ever-bubbly colleague, approached her with a bright smile.
"Good morning, Attorney Clayton!" her coworker greeted. "Are you ready for tonight?"
