Wanting-Ch 39 Penelope looked at Derek and smiled and he said, "see I told you it was a surprise", she took a deep breath and watched as the baitliff said, "please raise your right hand". Molly raised her hand and the baitliff said, "do you promise that the testimony you are going to give here today is the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God"?, she took a deep breath and said, "I do".
After she sat down she looked nervously around the room at Sam and Logan but her attention was pulled from them as the prosecutor walked over to her and said, "Ms. Miller is it true that you were in on the defenses little scheme all the time"?, she sat there looking down at her hands afraid to say anything.
The prosecutor said, "your honor will you direct the witness to answer the question"?, the judge said, "Ms. Miller you need to answer the question the prosecutor asked you". Molly said, "not at first", the prosecutor said, "what do you mean not at first"?, she looked at Sam and he shook his head no at her and she looked down at her shaking hands.
The prosecutor said, "your honor", Molly said, "what I mean was that Sam and I have been dating for 2 years and I would do anything to please him so that is how everything between Logan, me and Sam got started". The prosecutor crossed her arms and said, "when did you learn that the video footage was going to be used to frame Ms. Garcia"?, she said, "not until after Sam and Penelope were married".
The judge sat and listened as the witness sat and answered question after question after question, when the prosecution sat down Molly took a deep breath before the defense attorney approached her. Anna walked up to Molly and said, "so tell me Molly if you loved Sam so much why did you agree to go along with his plans?, Molly said, "I told you the answer to this question already, everything I did was because I love Sam".
Anna crossed her arms and said, "so are you saying that the videos, allllll of the videos are of you"?, Penelope sat forward waiting on the answer to that question. Molly wiped away a tear and said, "yes, all of the videos are me, all except the one of the wedding night, that was Penelope", Anna looked over her shoulder at Logan and bit down on her lip.
Anna then looked back at Molly and said, "how does it make you feel to learn that the man you loved drugged and then raped another woman"?, she looked up with tears streaming down her face and said, "it makes me sick, I'm so sorry for what happened to Penelope, so so very sorry". Anna looked up at the judge and said, "I have no further questions for this witness your honor".
The judge looked at Molly and said, "you may step down", Dave stepped forward and said, "your honor Ms. Miller needs to be taken downstairs and booked for her crimes". The judge nodded her head and said, "officers please take Ms. Miller down to booking and make sure that she gets processed", they nodded their heads as they took Molly by the arms and led her out of the room.
The judge looked at the prosecutor and said, "call your next witness", she smiled as she said, "we call Penelope Morgan", Sam looked up and said, "what did she mean Penelope Morgan"?, Anna said, "your marriage was annuled and she married Mr. Morgan". Sam stood up and said, "I wasn't notified that any annulement went through your honor".
The judge said, "sit down or I will make you sit", Sam said, "Penelope is my wife, my wife not Dereks", the judge said, "I said sit down", Anna said,
"sit down Sam". He reluctantly sat down and smiled as he waited for Penelope to stroll by him and he couldn't have been more surprised when he saw her walk through very pregnant.
She stepped into the witness stand and the baitliff said, "do you promise that the testimony that you are oging to give today is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God"?, she said, "I do". After she sat down she looked up to see Sam leaning over to whisper something into Annas ears.
Penelope took a deep breath as the proescutor stepped forward closer to her, the lawyer said, "Mrs. Morgan how are you feeling"?, she smiled and said, "I'm feeling a lot better now thank you". She said, "can you tell us in your own words what happened"?, Penelope nodded her head in agreement and then started telling the judge and the courtroom everything that had happened.
After the prosecutor finished with her questioning Anna stood up and walked over to Penelope and said, "Mrs. Morgan I see that you are pregnant, can you please tell the court how far along you are"?, the prosecutor stood up and said, "objection your honor". The judge said, "overruled please answer the question Mrs. Morgan".
Penelope looked out at Derek and said, "I'm 7 months along", Anna said, "can you tell me who the father of the child is"?, Penelope could feel tears welling up in her eyes as she shook her head no. Anna said, "please answer the question Mrs, Morgan", Penelope said, "I don't know for sure who the father is".
Anna smiled and said, "were you so sexually active that you don't know who the father is"?, the prosecutor stood and said, "objection", the judge said, "sustained, watch your mouth Anna you know better than that". Anna looked at Penelope and said, "I'm sorry your honor", she then looked at the witness and said, "Mrs. Morgan can you tell me why you said that no your don't know who the father is"?, she took a deep breath and said, "I I I was with both Derek and Sam during the period that the baby was conceived".
Penelope looked up and saw the smiling face of Sam staring back at her, Anna said, "what are you going to do if the baby is my clients"?, she said,
"my husband is going to adopt the baby if that is the case". Sam stood up and said, "ohhhhh hell no he isn't, if that baby is mine I will make sure that you don't get to raise it, do you hear me Penelope, do you hear me".
The judge hit her gavel on the desk and said, "sit down, sit down or I will find you in contempt of court", Sam smiled and said, "if that baby is mine you will never see it, I will make sure he or she is taken away from you Penelope". The judge said, "officers please remove the defendant from my courtroom".
As he was pulled out of court he said, "a slut like you doesn't deserve to get to raise a baby, do you hear me Penelopeeeeeee" and as the doors closed behind Sam the prosecutor said, "mam the prosecution requests a recess". The judge looked at Anna and said, "do you have any further questions for this witness"?, she looked at Penelope and said, "no mam, no further questions for this witness".
The judge looked at Penelope and said, "you may step down Mrs. Morgan", Penelope took a few steps and became dizzy and Derek and the rest of the room watched helplessly as she collapsed on the floor.
