His soul-Chapter 328: Officially divorced

Barcelona city court office, 2.00 PM

Three days after Charlie registered the divorce papers against Vanessa, the divorce trial process was finally carried out, Vanessa, who initially refused to divorce, finally gave up her title as Mrs. Sanders. Vanessa agrees to the divorce process after getting extraordinary compensation from Julian, Julian gives up one of the best resorts belonging to his late mother in the city of San Sebastian whose nature is still well preserved. The Resort owned by Barbara Sanders that Julian gave is one of the best resorts owned by Barbara Sanders family that is never empty with visitors and is certainly one of the places that easily adds to the coffers of dollars into the account. Because of that, without thinking, Vanessa agreed to divorce Julian, Vanessa felt that the amount of money given by Julian and the Resort in San Sebastian was enough for her at this time. Moreover, she knew that her three children would also inherit from Julian someday.

When the judge read out the verdict, Selena and Rosa simultaneously tightened their hands on both of their father’s hands, which they had now sandwiched, while Diego was seen patting Julian’s shoulder from behind trying to strengthen his stepfather. Vanessa herself, who was sitting on the other side, couldn’t help but watch her three children become very attached to her ex-husband, accompanied by her personal lawyer. Vanessa tried to look calm even though her heart was restless seeing Diego betray her.

"After this decision was read, Vanessa Sanders’ relationship officially separated from Julian Sanders as the plaintiff, all matters relating to child custody and the distribution of assets will be carried out properly," said the judge firmly filling the courtroom reading the final decision on Julian and Vanessa’s mariage which has been going on for almost nineteen years.

When the hammer was finally knocked, Vanessa’s status officially became ex wife of Julian Sanders, Julian was seen closing his eyes for a moment when he finally let Vanessa go from his life.

Julian bravely got up from his chair and approached Vanessa who was waiting for him, Julian slowly raised his hand towards Vanessa.

"Thank you for all your patience for almost nineteen years, Vanessa," said Julian quietly trying to cover up his sadness.

Vanessa took Julian’s hand and shook it tightly. "I’m also sorry for all my shortcomings so far, Julian. I hope in the future we will remain good friends in taking care of our children and also convey my apologies to Gina, I shouldn’t have said that yesterday."

"Every human makes mistakes, Vanessa. And I’m sure Gina will forgive you too," answered Julian softly.

Vanessa wiped her tears slowly before finally hugging Julian, the man who had given her the honor for the last nineteen years. Julian returned the hug to Vanessa gently.

"I hope we can be more mature after this," whispered Julian softly.

"Yes, I hope so too," Vanessa answered almost inaudibly, it was very clear that Vanessa was trying to hold back her tears from coming out.

Julian smiled, he then patted Vanessa’s back one last time before finally releasing his arms from the beautiful woman who had officially become his ex-wife. When Julian let go of his arms, Selena and Rosa simultaneously hugged their mother. The two girls didn’t cry when they hugged their mother, neither did Diego, who looked like a stranger in Vanessa’s eyes.

Because there are still some matters that must be resolved, Julian finally invites his children to leave the court leaving Vanessa who is still accompanied by her lawyer.

"Are you sure you’re not asking for more compensation, madam?" asked Mirabel, Vanessa’s personal attorney.

Vanessa shook her head. "No, Mira. What I get now is enough, the money that Julian gave me has been able to make me live in peace. Especially now that I managed to get one of the biggest sources of money for the Sanders family, the resort in San Sebastian. That’s more than enough for now, I don’t want to look too greedy especially now that my three children are still with that man. What I have to do now is be patient waiting for all the Sanders family’s wealth to fall to me through my three children."

Mirabel smiled. "You are a genius, madam."

Vanessa chuckled. "Okay let’s go home, I want to celebrate my freedom day at the club you talk about a lot. I heard the stipstis dancer is handsome."

"Not only handsome, madam. But extraordinary, their ability in bed is also very satisfying. I’m sure you will not regret coming to the club," said Mirabel excitedly.

Vanessa’s laughter grew louder when she heard Mirabel’s words, because she had been very curious about the young gigolos called Mirabel for the past few days, Vanessa immediately wrapped her arms around Mirabel’s arms and asked her to leave the court immediately. Vanessa really doesn’t show her sadness anymore, living single without children and husband makes Vanessa feel free. Moreover, the money she currently has is abundant, Vanessa wants to satisfy herself in bed with young men starting today.

In the car Julian didn’t talk much, he was still busy with his tablet reading some important files that Charlie gave him regarding the development of his family’s hotels which have improved since becoming the venue for the Miss Universe election in one of his hotels. The popularity of the Sanders family hotel skyrocketed.

"Alexandre’s back today, Dad," Rosa said quietly, breaking the silence in the car.

Diego immediately looked up. "Alexandre alone or with doctor Jason?"

"Looks like both of them, this morning Alex told me that the doctor uncle Patrick chose for Gina has arrived in Dubai."

"Arrived in Dubai? Are they not Dubai?" said Selena curiously.

"No, the doctor who will treat Gina is from Japan. There are three doctors who will take care of her, including a psychiatrist who will help her recover from her trauma," Diego answered quietly.

"There’s a psychiatrist too?" asked Selena and Rosa in surprise at the same time.

"Gina is not only physically injured, she is also hurt mentally because of Massimo’s inhuman treatment. That’s why uncle Patrick recruited a psychiatrist to help Gina get up." Julian answered the questions of his two daughters hoarsely, telling the development of Gina’s condition who had been treated in Dubai.

"Oh Jesus." Rosa screamed loudly as she covered her mouth with her hands.

"How bad is it, Gina?" Selena asked back absentmindedly.

Diego smiled, he slowly took Selena’s hand and gripped it tightly. "Gina is in the right hands now, you don’t have to worry, Selena."

"But Gina, she’s like that because..."

"No, it’s nobody’s fault. If someone is to blame it is Daddy who can’t take good care of his daughter, don’t feel guilty anymore, Selena," said Julian gently interrupting Selena’s words.

Selena’s tears flowed profusely hearing her father’s words, Selena immediately fell on Julian’s body and continued to cry loudly. Regret always comes late and Selena feels it right now, seeing some of the videos of Gina that Patrick sent to her father’s cell phone made Selena feel sorry for Gina. Because of that, when she found out that Gina had to be treated by a psychiatrist, her guilt grew even bigger, Selena felt that she really owed her life to Gina who had taken her place as Massimo’s woman.

Julian touched Selena’s brunette hair lovingly. "Remember, you are siblings. Daddy hopes that in the future you can take care of each other, even though Daddy’s gone."

"Daddy." snapped Rosa quickly. "Don’t talk nonsense, Daddy will live long."

"Yes Daddy, don’t try to defy death like that," said Diego displeased.

Julian chuckled. "Daddy’s not defying death, Son. Daddy’s just talking facts, everyone born in this world gets older every day and eventually dies. Likewise with Daddy, that’s why Daddy’s talking to you guys from now on to take care of each other. What happened to Gina right now it’s happening again to you in the future, it’s enough for Daddy to see Daddy’s child going through bad things like Gina right now. So please remember Daddy’s message to take care of each other, nothing is stronger in this world than blood relations."

Without speaking, Diego immediately changed seats and immediately embraced the body of his father who was still hugging Selena. Rosa who was sitting beside Diego did the same thing. Hugging her father in the front seat of them, as a result during the journey home the three children and father sat in a long chair in the limousine that was brought home from court.

"Get well soon Gina, Daddy’s prayers are with you dear," Julian said in his heart earnestly as he remembered the video Patrick sent him last night in which Gina had begun to be able to communicate with him for the first time after being unconscious for almost two days. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
