30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 156
Bryce was relentless in his efforts to persuade Estrella to get a divorce, and even
Jesse was moved by his dedication. She played Bryce a recording she’d made,
“Bryce, I've got the recording all set. Once Estrella gets back, we'll just play it for
Jason, so she doesn’t have to come up with an excuse to dump him.”
When Bryce saw that Jesse had made a recording, he lunged to snatch the
phone away.
Each time Jason knocked him down a peg, Bryce would simmer down for a bit,
but as soon as he recovered, he’d be back at it, egging Estrella on to cut ties. For
over two years, not a single day did Bryce relent from this self-appointed mission.
Estrella, watching Jesse and Bryce chase each other around her, instinctively
shielded her belly, fearing they might bump into her.
“Estrella, you better get Jesse to delete that recording quick,” Bryce pleaded with
Estrella, unable to snatch Jesse's phone. “If Jason hears that, he’s gonna skin
me alive.”
With one hand in her pocket and the other gently resting on her belly, Estrella
said, “So, are we still on for the sting operation or not?”
“Absolutely.” Bryce’s voice shot up an octave, as he was here specifically for that
purpose. Then he added, “Estrella, you feeling okay? You've been guarding your
belly this whole time.”
Estrella dropped her hand, “Just cramps.”
Bryce, uncertain, asked, “Is it that time of the month?”
Estrella pushed Bryce’s head playfully and then the trio headed into the karaoke
bar. If it weren't for Bryce dragging her out, Estrella would have been home
sleeping by now.
They entered the private room to find an assortment of trendy and attractive guys
lounging on the sofas, with a bevy of gorgeous girls of all types standing before
them. The guys were picking out their favorites.
With her hands tucked into the pockets of her cozy brown cardigan, Estrella
casually remarked, “Bryce, I had no idea you were such a player.” Was she here
to catch him, or to catch Jason?
At Estrella’s words, Bryce lost his cool and started hurling shoes at the guys on
the sofa, “Go to hell! Who told you to invite escorts? Didn't I say someone
important was coming? Are you doing this on purpose?”
After chewing the guys out, Bryce sternly ushered the girls out.
The guy in the center threw Bryce’s shoe back to him, “You never said that
someone was a lady,”
Bryce, fuming, slipped his shoes back on and opened all the vents and air
conditioning in the room, asking sternly, “No one smoked, right?”
“Nope,” the guys shook their heads. Estrella couldn't stand the smell of Estrella,
so wherever Bryce was, smoke was a no-go.
After Bryce’s tantrum, he introduced Estrella and Jesse to everyone, “This is
Estrella, the most important person I talked about, and Jesse, the young miss
from the Manning family.” He didn’t mention that Estrella was his sister-in-law.
The guys greeted them, “Hi Ella, hi Jesse.”
“Make sure you take good care of these two.”
“No problem,” they assured.
After Bryce gave the word, the guys who had earlier been acting high and mighty,
ready to select their girls, quickly turned into sycophants, ready to entertain
Estrella and Jesse.
Estrella, with her easy-going and generous nature, quickly joined the crowd in
their fun. Every so often, she'd catch Bryce’s eyes, and he'd reassure her,
“Estrella, don’t worry. I'm on it. I guarantee you we'll catch my bro tonight and you
can get that marriage annulled.”
Bryce had a spy keeping an eye on Jason's room. When nothing untoward
happened, he enthusiastically sent in a flock of ladies, certain Jason couldn't
resist.
Estrella watched Bryce, amused, wondering how Jason would deal with Bryce’s
scheming.
He had already sent Bryce off to build schools in remote areas, subjected him to
medicinal baths he had to endure, and arranged for a group of men to give him
massages. What would Jason do this time? At the moment, Estrella was actually
looking forward to Jason's tactics.
Soon enough, Bryce's informant reported back that Jason’s room had sent all the
ladies away, claiming there had been a mix-up at the karaoke bar.
Bryce's brows furrowed in frustration. Why weren't they taking the bait?
As Bryce’s expression grew grim, Estrella gave him a “you deal with this’ look and
headed to the restroom outside.
Just as she reached the restroom, she caught a glimpse of a slender figure
passing by at the end of the hallway. Instinctively quickening her pace, Estrella
followed, but by the time she got there, the figure had vanished. Gazing at the
spot where the figure had disappeared, Estrella couldn't shake the feeling that
the events of the past were not as straightforward as they seemed.
When she returned to the restroom and fancied her reflection in the mirror,
Estrellas thoughts lingered on the silhouette she'd seen and the Maseratis she'd
encountered before.
“Estrella,” someone called from behind her as she pondered. “You are Estrella,
right?”
She turned to see a young man in a suit, looking at her excitedly. “Yes, I'm
Estrella,” she replied, wiping her hands with a paper towel.
“I'm Dominic,” the man introduced himself, “I attended Ravenwood College too, a
couple of years ahead of you in the Law program. We even competed in a
debate tournament together. Do you remember?”
Estrella looked at the young man, her memory failing to place him.
Seeing her blank expression, Dominic continued with excitement, “Even though
you were younger, you were like an idol to us back then. Oh right, our club is
having a get-together tonight. You should come along, Estrella.”
“What club?” she inquired.
“Chess,” he replied.
Hearing this, Estrella realized what Jason had been up to. He, too, was a
member of the chess club at Ravenwood College, as was Serene. No wonder
Bryce had mentioned they were together. It must be a college club reunion.
Before Estrella could even respond, the boy grabbed her arm and whisked her
towards the private suite, saying, “Estrella, come take a seat. We've got a bunch
of big shots from Ravenwood College here today. You were a legend at
Ravenwood too. If I bring you in there, it's going to blow everyone's mind.”
Chatting excitedly, the boy pulled Estrella to Suite 888, flung the door open, and
announced to the room, “Guess who I just ran into?”
As he finished, everyone's gaze turned toward the doorway.
“Estrella!”
“Estrella!”

“The queen herself! Dominic, you've really outdone yourself today.”
“Tell me about it. Estrella’s been the queen of our Law Department for years.
Seeing her is better than winning the lottery.”
“Hey, Estrella, I've got a spot right here next to me.”
“There’s room by me too, Estrella.”
Amid the warm welcomes from her seniors, Estrella’s gaze drifted towards Jason,
who seemed to be the only one not thrilled to see her.
Serene, sitting beside him, quickly shuffled to the side to create some space
between them.
“Estrella.” Grayson was also there, standing to greet her.
With a smile, Estrella approached and extended her right hand. “Grayson. Long
time no see.”
Grayson was momentarily taken aback. They had just had dinner together not
too long ago.
Estrella was playing her part, so Grayson played along, taking her hand with a
smile. “It's been a while.”
After the greetings, he cast a glance at Jason, whose expression was something
to behold.
Jason hadn’t wanted to join this gathering. He had been cornered at Nelson
International and all but dragged here.
