LOGINLizzy's POV.What happens if at the end I lose?What happens if at the end I win?I'm really stuck in a total mess.I never saw this coming.If I lose, straight to jail. If I win, I will still remain the woman who tried to kidnap her own blood sister. People won't bother to ask the reason behind my action.Pleading not guilty hasn't changed the fact that things never worked out the way I had wanted. I wanted her dead. Which would have prevented these whole court processes.Hmm… I took a deep breath while lying down on my bed. The evidence is with them. Donal might even decide to add another count charge. Poisoning of Martha.All my plans failed. Frank, I see myself going to prison. How long I will spend is what I don't know. But jail rings heavily on me. The vision is clear.My layer is very sound, but evidence and proof from the other people will definitely cripple his soundness. Yes, it will.All that I said in the interrogation room was fully recorded. I said so many things that
“interference with witnesses outside. And the investigation is still ongoing. We have text messages and voice evidence yet to be fully analyzed.”The courtroom goes calm and quiet. Eyes were watching the chief judge. Lizzy's lawyer stood next. “Your honor, my client has no prior record. She has a stable job that she is into. She voluntarily handed over her phone and statement to the police. We propose bail with conditions: surrender of passport, weekly report to the station, and no contact with the complainant.”Lizzy was staring at the floor, her shoulders curled in. “Yes, my lord. No, my lord. Objection, my lord. My lord, she is my client; she is still innocent. Section 519, subsection 23B of the criminal code as amended made it very clear. My lord, you recall that…”Those were the domination statements and arguments that kept echoing in the court. Between Lizzy's lawyer and our lawyer concerning her bail.Anthony and James—one could see through their frustration. Only Lizzy stood
At the federal high court. For the first hearing.Sofia's POV Donal, my husband and I just arrived at the court premises.The police van has already arrived on the premises too. Carrying Lizzy, Anthony, and James. All were handcuffed.A lot of cars were seen coming in and driving straight to the car lot. Which is some little distance away from the courtroom. Everywhere was just busy with the movement of people. Different lawyers were seen moving about getting themselves ready for the court proceedings.Some were seen standing very close to the statue of lady justice. Which stood tall in front of the court building. Others were seen moving about trying to make some photocopies outside the court premises.When we stepped out of the car, my heart was so heavy. Donal is yet to tell me the truth about my daughter's whereabouts. "Your daughter is in good condition; she is fine.” This is what he kept on saying all the time. I am tired of hearing such.I have lost my appetite for food. Eve
She pointed at Anthony, and James both covered their faces to the ground in the utmost shame. They couldn't say a word.“Sofia, let me be honest with you; I never meant to kill you. I really don't know what came over me. I couldn't control my temperament. I think I went too far. I really don't know what prompted me to act in that manner. Please, can we take this home and settle our differences?” “Our difference? Sofia cut in at once. “You and I have nothing to settle.” Sofia poured out."Believe me, Sofia, I never did what I did with a clear eye. I was actually drunk. I'm regretting my actions,” I poured out pitifully. “You don't have to regret your actions. They were well calculated. But unfortunately the execution failed,” Sofia muttered and continued.“The deed has been done. Your apology means nothing to me. It rather provokes my anger to reach its boiling point. You came for my life, but I survived it.” She spoke and then continued“The world is give-and-take. You have succeede
Without hesitation and without being told, I held strongly to my departing spirit. For it has threatened to depart.A tiny warm urine escapes from my body at once. I became so uncomfortable and irritated.She stood so audaciously without saying a word. One of her hands was suspended in the air with a bandage on it. It could be as a result of the stabbing. I have never seen myself under such pressure as this.I couldn't say a word. My heart's beat was pounding. I was so wrapped in shock. Imagining if the image standing right before me is Sofia or her ghost or resemblance. Internal heat set in."Sofia,” I shouted, “how are you?” I asked with a fake-up smile on my face. My teeth clenched against each other so tightly. And the sound of my heartbeat kept increasing. The greetings escaped from my mouth unknowingly.Her silence kept killing me slowly. She never answered. I don't know what else to say. Even the framed-up smile couldn't disappear. It's just there while my eyes scan through the
“What is it that you don't understand, woman?” The officer asked.“What are these men doing here, and what business do I have with them?” I muttered. With a bit of an unnoticed crack in my voice.“You mean you don't know them? It's okay.”“Anthony,” the officer called. Turning his face towards Anthony. “Do you recognize this lady sitting here?” The police officer asked Anthony.Anthony stayed silent for a few seconds and then nodded his head, indicating that he knows me.“Speak out.” The officer ordered. Without hesitation, Anthony let out…“Yes, I know her,” Anthony spoke like someone at gunpoint.“Who is she, and what business transpired between you and her?” The police officer asked.Anthony took a deep breath. Sighed and nodded his head in regret. My eyes were just scanning the entire room. James's face was buried permanently in the ground. Guilt and regret wrapped his entire life.“She is the junior sister of Sofia, the kidnapped victim. Officer, I was actually swayed into this c
MEETING WITH MY HELPER.As I opened the door, it was Janet. Ready to leave for work. We exchanged pleasantries. She wore a piercing smile.She really wants my friendship. She has been making a conscious effort to penetrate me. But I have suffered betrayal from friends. I wouldn't want to experience
“As you can see, she is carrying my baby. I hope you are not jealous about it?” Miguel spoke harshly and sarcastically just to tear me apart.He bowed his head and kissed her protruding belly. Linda was putting on a blue gown. Which barely reveals the size of her protruding belly. “Jealous about w
“This is my sixth month of pregnancy, and things have never been easy for me,” I complained bitterly while sitting in front of my apartment, glancing at the atmosphere as the gentle breeze blew through.This should have been me in my husband's house. Being cuddled sweetly under his loving arms. But
“I'm glad you are back.” The doctor echoed. “You have to take it easy with yourself. You are one week pregnant!” The doctor spoke calmly with deep concern etched across his face.My eyes widened in shock as I stared at the doctor. It seemed he just echoed another patient's report.“Pregnant!” I rep
