Chapter 369: Loud and Proud
Rain was seated in her office at the Prosecution Bureau, reviewing a case file. The sunlight streaming through the window cast a warm glow on the stacks of papers on her desk, but her focus was unwavering.
It was another busy day, but her mind wandered briefly to the news that had taken the media by storm earlier that morning. As Rain expected, she was once again thrust into the spotlight following the news Alexander had disseminated about their upcoming wedding ceremony. Yet, unlike previous instances, this time, she found herself relishing it.
It wasn’t just the grandeur of a wedding that excited her; it was the clear, unmistakable declaration Alexander was making to the world. The news wasn’t just about their ceremony... it was a statement, a proclamation that she was his woman, that their union wasn’t some fabricated contract like Carla had so craftily insinuated, but a genuine marriage rooted in truth.
A knock on her door snapped her back to reality. Jane entered, carrying a neatly stacked pile of documents.
"Good morning, Prosecutor Lancaster," Jane greeted with a bright smile as she placed the papers on Rain’s desk. "Here are the files you requested for the Valdez case. Oh, and before I forget, congratulations on the big news! I saw the headlines, your wedding is all anyone can talk about."
Rain looked up, slightly startled, before she relaxed and gave a small chuckle. "Thank you, Jane. Though my quiet life turned into a media circus again."
Jane grinned as she adjusted her glasses. "If you ask me, it’s pretty romantic. He’s showing the whole world that you’re his wife and shutting down all that ridiculous gossip once and for all. People love seeing someone like you stand strong despite everything that’s been thrown at you."
Rain leaned back in her chair, her lips curving into a soft smile. "It’s definitely a statement," she admitted, her voice carrying a mix of amusement and gratitude. "Alexander doesn’t do things halfway, that’s for sure."
Jane nodded eagerly. "It’s a bold move. I mean, I’ve been following the headlines... they’re buzzing with questions about the wedding details. People are guessing everything from the venue to the dress designer. And... well, some are wondering how Carla’s taking it."
