…The Next Day…

Evelyn's POV:

“I really want to go with you, child. But I need to be at the mansion. If you need anything, just call me.” I nod kindly at Mrs. Higgins’s words, feeling scared from where I am going to right now. “(She rubs my back tenderly) You just say the truth, child. Nothing would harm you if you were honest with your motives and feelings. I know you’re strong and confident, so please do consider my words when you are asked in court.”
I immediately reply, hugging her in the elevator. “I will, don’t worry. (I sadden at the idea) I just want to be free, and I want Harry and his father to regain their relationship. Even if it doesn’t result in me and Harry being together, I will still be happy for him.” She nods kindly, not really wanting to add anything that could cause me to cry.
I have been tearing all night yesterday, because now the time has finally arrived. I asked Mrs. Higgins about Harry, and what happened when I left yesterday. All she told me was that Harry and his father left the mansion in separate ways. What made my depression level increase was that he didn’t call me.
He didn’t even ask where I went. One of Desmond’s lawyers called me in the early morning, telling me when and where I must be for the hearing session. And as for now, Mrs. Higgins and I took separate cabs to our different destinations. I will do as Mrs. Higgins told me; I only will speak the truth and nothing other than that. No more lies, no more hiding; just honesty.
…At the Law Court…
My table is set on the right wing of the room, while Desmond and his three lawyers are seated on the left. He hasn’t spoken to me, nor did he dare to look at me for a mini second either. The hatred that man has for me, is obviously endless. But I deserve this, I shouldn’t have agreed to my mother’s reasoning of a marriage. “All stand, for the judge Arnold Mooning.”
The shuffling of my chair and the others creek, while we rise at the entrance of the old man in the black clothe. “Be seated, please.” He requests once he sits, allowing us to go back to our pervious position. “Case 1482, Styles versus Rider. Who would like to begin?” Desmond stands up from his chair, showing his profession as a great lawyer. This makes me wonder, why would he bring three others?
“Your honour, I would like to begin. (He looks at one of his lawyers, emphasizing that he should stand up. Once the lawyer does, Desmond speaks to the judge) This is Patrick Ronald. He will be asking me questions, but that won’t limit him to be the only lawyer to preform his detections.” The judge shakes his head, before speaking: “With all respect Mr. Styles. This is a divorce case, not a criminal assault. One will be enough for this.”
Desmond nods, not expecting to be denied of the two other lawyers. This makes me a little relieved, but at the same time I fear what Desmond has to say. Will he state something untrue about what happened? Will he ask me to pay for my mistakes? Will I even go to prison?
Okay, I don’t really think I could be jailed for this, but still this doesn’t make me quite happy right now. if only Harry was here, he wouldn’t leave me. But then I guess he chose to forget me, clearly not asking about me yesterday. Think about yourself, Evelyn. This is your only chance for emotional and physical salvation.
