Ex-husband's Sweet Trap

Mia just watched silently as she fumbled for words. The way she said she wasted her youth was ridiculous to her. She knew as well as the other woman did that they were both just playing with each other and that she had already calculated how much she would get before she decided to break up. There was no need to put their relationship on a pedestal. 

However, this was from her personal point of view. From a lawyer's point of view, whoever pays was the boss, so none of this mattered.

"Ms Moss, let's go in. We shouldn't let the defence wait too long."

The two of them walked into the court one after the other. Lucas Philip was already sitting in the defendant's seat with his legs crossed, an impatient look on his handsome face. The same expression on a less attractive person would have been irritating, but for someone with his looks, it was deceptively seductive.

Mia pursed her lips. It was no wonder that the woman would spend a few years playing a romantic game with him. He had money and looks, so it really wasn't a bad deal at all. It still didn't change the fact that he was a playboy, though.

"Now that we're all here, let's commence. I don't have much time."

Lucas tapped the Rolex watch on his wrist. He wouldn't even attend this court meeting if he didn't intend to send out a warning for the other women waiting to throw themselves at him.

Mia stared at his fingers for a while, which were whiter and longer than any other men's hands she had ever seen. It was a sure sign of a playboy.

"Hello, Honourable Judge and jury in attendance. My name is Mia James, and I will be representing my client, Ms Sofia Moss. Ms Moss has been in a relationship with the defendant, Mr Philips, for three years and four months, during which she has fulfilled all responsibilities as a girlfriend. In the duration of the relationship, Mr Philips has given a villa worth 8 million dollars, an BMW X7 automobile, and various jewellery and accessories that total up to 1 million dollars."

She continued, "These items were given to my client voluntarily while their relationship was still valid, so my client has sole proprietorship of them. Now that the relationship has ended, the defendant is asking for the items back, which is in violation of the relevant laws. Therefore, I ask the Honorable Judge to deliver a verdict that is both just and understanding to protect the rights of my client."
