"What!" Almost all of them exclaimed at the same time. Anna was the only person who was not surprised. She knew her sister too well not to trust her gut feeling. Eventually she was right. "Khloe?!" Lydia couldn't believe both her eyes and ears. "After what she did to Anna, how can I let him go scotfree?" Khloe argued. "He deserved whatever is coming and worse ---"Thwack! A sudden slap was registered on her face. But it wasn't Lydia that slapped her. "You crazy girl!" Anna's face matched both the anger and the slap. "Anna!" Khloe gasped so hard that she almost choked on her breath. Lydia was the only person who wasn't displeased to see it, although she was shocked. "How could you do such a stupid thing without telling anyone of us about it?" Anna yelled at her. "Who could I have told?" Khloe didn't back down this time. "What would he have done to that person next?"None of them had something to say to her outburst. She clasped one palm to the hot cheek as hot tears streamed do

News easily spread like a kindled dried bush lit up by a wayward group of impulsive high-school students. The entirety of the country was blazing with the rumors of the allegation. The news of a young man who almost assaulted the granddaughter of a prominent business man in the city was making headlines. The fact that the young man was formerly married to the sister of the person he almost SA'ed was even more sickening. An ocean of crowd had gathered in front of the city's court and there was a chaos going on. There seemed to have been people arguing and fighting over the rumors and what not. There was a college student who claimed that the young man involved in the allegation was an important person that no one wants to mess with. He claimed that his uncle was the sheriff of the police station where the young man was detained before someone came and took him away. He argued that his uncle shot himself immediately he heard the identity of the young man. When the college student w

"The Prosecuting attorney can proceed." The judge said. Khloe glanced at her lawyer and they both exchanged stares. Then she inadvertently looked in the direction of Davien. When their eyes met, she shot a cocky smile in his direction. "That little bitch." Davien growled just staring at her. He was sick to the stomach at the sight of her. Flora heard him curse and traced his gaze to the direction he was looking. "You shouldn't bother about her. That's the last smile she'll have." Flora was certain as she said this.Davien had never had a reason to doubt her abilities. He knew what she was capable of doing. Hence, he wasn't bothered about all these proceedings. "There is nothing much to say, my lord." The prosecutor started, taking a stance at the front. "My client has been in deep trauma following what happened at the hotel."The lawyer waved in the direction of Khloe who immediately drew a sad and hopeless expression on her face. The smile that had lingered for a while was nowhe

"Miss Khloe Benjamin, please rise." The judge called. Khloe Benjamin knew that this was the end of the road for her. There was no going back. There was nothing she could do to avoid this fate. "Not only did you falsely accuse an innocent man of sexual assault, but you colluded with another person to falsify the evidence that was presented to this court of law. That is perjury.""My lord." Khloe's lawyer quickly rose up. "My client decision stemmed from what the defendant did to her sister. This a truth, my lord. The defendant maltreated the sister of my client at this same hotel.""Overruled." The judge snapped at the lawyer. "If you speak out of turn again, you will be charged for obstruction." The judge warned the lawyer. "If you have another case to charge against the defendant, you can do that separately and not mix it up with this. I thought you were supposed to be a professional." The judge added in displeasure. At this point, the lawyer gave up. She knew that there was no t
