"I managed to post a chapter but it might be the last of the year, and well now is the judgment of Victoria!"
The last two days had been exhausting for Victoria, David, the lawyer and even Daniel, he who had appeared at the beach house in the afternoon when the trial was marked by surprise Victoria to offer a hug while affirming that it would be next to her at all times.
Still, it was hard to endure the hours of meeting with the lawyer, the harassment of the press and the damn sickness that only worsened and David were staying with worried face, she had assumed it was just a result of the stress of recent weeks but was not very convinced.
Unfortunately the day had arrived and he opened his eyes that morning, Victoria was surprised to see David sitting on the bed to watch her, she tried to smile at him that said grimly:
-It Today!
-I know, good morning to you too!
-Victoria The situation is not funny!
-Easy David, I will be acquitted!
-What if it's not?
-I'll go to survive!
-You Will suffer much my love!
-But I will overcome, if you promise you will not forget me!
-How?
-It I will not stand if you forget me, if I get stuck!
-I Will not forget you ever, if the worst happens I'll visit every day, and will not rest until a way to get her out of prison!
-That's What gives me strength David!
-I Love you!
-I Love you too!
They smiled at each other and he passionately kissed trying to ward off bad thoughts, he just wanted to think about being happy with Victoria, he needed to believe in his acquittal, everything would work out that court.
The hours passed quickly and soon Daniel arrived to accompany her mother to court, she went hand in hand with his son and David, journalists were on standby in front of the house looking for an interview but were ignored, since the car David shook hands Victoria stating:
-Will Be fine Vic!
-Will Yes, I'm sure!
The court was full, reporters, judges and a large audience, most people cheered the death of Victoria Conrad, "it was negligible, a pig," "justifiable crime", "she's a hero," and other phrases were shouted when she entered, then all were positioned and David felt the despair invade your soul to see Victoria sitting on the dock, yet he smiled at her trying to stay confident. The judge then began to speak in a firm tone:
-Home the trial of Victoria Grayson, 56, confessed killer of former husband Andrew Conrad Grayson, will now be made to read the case file!
There was a pause before the promoter start talking, Victoria tried to remain calm but needed to be honest, I was afraid, finally the prosecutor said:
-Conrad Andrew Grayson, 59, former governor of New York and former CO of Grayson Global company, was found dead with a perforation in the abdomen on the morning of January 25 of this year, a road for about 1 KM the penitentiary where he was arrested after being accused of numerous crimes, including the fall of flight 197. Six months have passed without justice had new information about the case until Vince Watson was found dead in his apartment carrying the murder weapon , days after the defendant here present confessed to the crime!
Silence reigned for almost a minute until the prosecutor stopped facing Victoria and asked:
-Why Decided to confess?
She was confident when up to speak, people looked conniving, it was then that he saw Emily sitting in the third row watching her with a sarcastic smile, his stomach rolled at the time and she felt she was lost, there was no doubt, his fate was sealed and was the prison, yet she took a deep breath and said:
-No Point in lying, I know what I did and sooner or later everyone would know!
-When Decided to kill her ex husband?
-Naquela Night!
-And Why?
-I was almost going crazy, mulling over everything he had done, I needed to rid the change that man!
-So it was not a premeditated crime?
-Do Not!
-Interessante, I will call the witness judge!
The judge nodded and a tall, red-haired man sat in front of Victoria, he had an ambitious twinkle in his eye and she soon realized that his presence there was the work of Amanda, the prosecutor then asked the man:
-Sir Gregory Benson, tell us where the defendant knows!
-She hired me for about a year!
-For?
-Assassinar Her ex husband!
-That's a lie, I do not know him!
Victoria was lifted up to see the man lying on his face, however was reprimanded by the lawyer and the man continued:
-She hated her husband and wanted him dead, I tried to shoot him twice but always appeared someone before I had sabotaged his car, which just killed a priest!
Victoria was already shaking with rage, she had been deceived by Emily again and now would be arrested, yet remained firm after all was there for David, the prosecutor asked the man again:
-And The night of the murder?
-I bribed a prison officer to help Conrad to flee but it was all a plan, we drove up the road and killed him!
-Who stabbed him?
-I Held him but Grayson lady wanted to have the pleasure and made smiling!
The buzz was overall the room, and then calmed tempers were appointed the reports, photos of the body and witnesses who knew something of the relationship between Conrad and Victoria finally the judge said:
-No More having nothing to say, I condemn the defendant Victoria Grayson to 15 years in prison, starting in closed regime, the trial is over!
Victoria felt the ground open under his feet, Amanda was defeated, it was the end, a few tears ran down her face as a guard pulled her and handcuffed, David ran to her and hugged her saying:
-Victoria, You can not be arrested!
-Remember To visit me!
-Vic, I'll tell the truth!
No one will believe you, thankfully!
-I Will give a way to get there!
-I Love you!
-I Love you too!
The guard began to pull it back but David managed to deposit a tender kiss on her lips, then she was away and said in a choked voice:
-Eternamente David!
-Eternamente Victoria!
"Please do not kill me, I know you wanted her to be acquitted but the conviction is needed for the next chapters, the last names and dates that I put not correspond with the number I know, but my memory is terrible and I had to invent! Please comment!"
