Thursday, continued ...

[Anna is still typing her affidavit]

The legal requirements, for a foreign citizen to marry in Country X, require completion of work at your national embassy in Country X.I attended the Australia Embassy on the day after my arrival for this purpose.In passing I spotted my husband, and knew that I could not marry Lu Jinhu.Given my husband was well known to the Australia Embassy officials, I was able to convince them to complete the necessary paperwork without my husband being present and completing his details.A letter was attached to this explaining why my husband was not present.

After a confrontation between Lu Jinhu and myself outside the Civil Administration Bureau, but before I could admit to him I was not going to marry me, he informed my he had married a Miss Yang Lin, gained Australian citizenship and indirectly indicated that he had obtained the orders which I am appealing.

After Lu Jinhu left, I met and had discussions with my now husband, and we agreed to get married.The documents supplied by the Australian Embassy with its attached letter were deemed to be sufficient to allow my husband and I to marry.[Note – ALFRED, separately I will forward to you the footage confirming the issuing of the marriage certificate and I will bring my original marriage certificate, and household registers when I come so they can be certified, plus a translation of them, with a letter from an official translator here confirming the translation]

In this application, I am asking that court grant my appeal and set aside the original orders obtained by fraud and make orders that provide for an appropriate financial settlement ending my de facto relationship with Lu Jinhu [NOTE - ALFRED add what is needed to meet the technical requirements for the appeal - I am too tired and emotionally drained to think about that]

[Anna stopped typing her affidavit]

After saving the affidavit Anna took the time to review what she typed, realising that she had what most likely was needed.Additional material Alfred could add, that was his job, not her job in this matter.

She then opened up her emails, and emailed Alfred.

'Alfred, done the preliminary affidavit draft, with a few notes.I could not be bothered checking the requirements to have the orders overturned in the circumstances, add the technicalities, referencing the relevant material, and let me know what I need to read.Let me know what time you need me in.Flying back over the weekend.As to the information in the affidavit, absolutely DO NOT reveal anything to anyone, including Mr Williams, your assistant or my assistant.

'I want to tell everyone about that, ending the relationship with Lu Jinhu, face to face, I do not need them to get it in Affidavit form.The most difficult part will be my marriage, to one of the most powerful men in this country and controls a client of the firm's.I will arrange for translations of the wedding certificate and household registers with appropriate certifications here as you will need those.Any other documents needed?Do you need an affidavit from my husband?Let me know.Anna.'

Once that email was sent, she then opened up the chat box with Hou Yi, 'Finished.Let me know when you are ready to leave.I am just going to pack up my laptop for the day, as I am exhausted."

'Anna, not a problem.I am chasing everyone out of the office, they should be gone in about 5 minutes, and I will come in to get you.'

'OK.Logging off now.'With that Anna, logged of the intranet and shut off her laptop, packing it in its bag.

In thinking of what she had drafted, Anna realised that she had kept the information as simple as possible, applying the maxim she learnt with drafting KISS - Keep It Simple Silly/Stupid.She knew it glossed over a number of things, but that was not what was necessary.Setting out basic information about the relationship and ensuring the technical aspects were covered was what was needed.

It also made her realise the insidious nature of her relationship with Lu Jinhu.As she realised, these experiences were not as bad as some client's she had dealt with, but it still involved domestic violence of a psychological and economic nature, just not physical.

Anna realised that having the orders Lu Jihnu obtained overturned by the court will be the first giant step in revenge, but one totally in her control..That made her think, even a better revenge will be getting involved with a domestic violence organisation here, while she would not name Lu Jinhu, re-telling her story again and again, will continually harass him.Maybe that was something to talk to Hou Yi about?

Anna started to relax and fell asleep before Hou Yi arrived.Hou Yi walked in and saw his sleeping wife.He carefully picked up her handbag and laptop case, and handed them along with his briefcase to a bodyguard, with the direction to have his car ready to take them home.He returned to the sitting room, carefully dropped a lightweight scarf put aside for a gift over Anna's head so no one could see her face and replaced her shoes on her feet.He bent over and picked her up bridal styleand walked out of his office.Even though his bodyguards surrounded them, the staff still in the office could see him carrying a woman out of his office.The quickly got into an elevator, then into his car to drive home, when she started to wake up.

Anna, fell back asleep in the car, and Hou Yi carried her back into their suite on they return.She did not awake, so he carefully undressed her, and pulled her into his arms to sleep for the night.
