Chapter 108

"Zack, it hurts!"

"You dare to fight me already? Feeling great huh?!"

Mauren whimpered in pain as Zack gripped her hand firmly. The woman was currently at Zack's house, her purpose in going there was to meet Zack and take responsibility for handling the current problem.

Since the post-mortem, Mauren had become frightened. She was afraid that her lies would be exposed, she didn't want to be imprisoned if her lies were exposed, that's why she was desperate to come to Zack's house. After all, the root of this problem came from Zack.

"I told you not to talk about it anymore!"

"I've done a post mortem!"

"Visum? What did you do it for?" Zack asked in shock.

Zack was really shocked when he heard Mauren say that the woman had done a post mortem. But not long afterwards the man suddenly smiled, making Mauren who saw him confused. 

"Zack, I don't want to be in jail. Once the post mortem results come out, all our lies will be exposed. If I'm in jail then you should be too!"

"We're not going to jail."

"What do you mean? I've had a post-mortem! Next week the results come out, sooner or later my lies will be exposed!"

"Can't you calm down? I already told you that we won't be in jail. If I say we won't be in jail then we won't be in jail!"

"But..."

"Do you want to leave now or do I torture you?"

Getting that threat from Zack, Mauren chose to leave. She already knew how cruel Zack was, if he threatened to torture her then he would really do it.

In the end Mauren only went home with empty hopes. She was really scared in prison, she was sure that once the post mortem results came out then all her lies would be exposed. Arka wouldn't keep quiet, he would definitely drag her to jail and Mauren didn't want that to happen.

Not wanting to go straight home, Mauren decided to go to her parents' funeral. There the woman cried, expressing the hardships she had to endure after the departure of her parents.

"Hiks why mom and dad left, why didn't you take me with you."

"I suffer living in this world, I want to come with mom and dad. Hiks why I have to live a life of suffering like this."

Mauren could not stop crying in front of her parents' grave. The woman really missed her old life when her parents were still around. Her life used to be very happy, although it was simple but she never felt sad at all. If only she hadn't been so desperate to bring her parents to the city for treatment, maybe her life wouldn't have ended up suffering like this.

If only she had never known and been in a relationship with Zack, maybe her life wouldn't have suffered like this.

Mauren is a woman who used to live in a small town with her parents. Although her life was very simple, it could be said that her life was very happy, far from being sad.

Until one day Mauren found out that her father had a dangerous disease. Because his father's illness was quite severe and the town where he lived was quite far from a hospital, Mauren finally decided to move to a big city so that his father could get treatment easily.

Mauren and his parents decided to sell their house and he bought a simple house in the city and used the rest of the money for medical treatment. 

While in the city, Mauren met Zack. At that time Zack was very kind to her so somehow they started a relationship. At that time the remaining money from the sale of the house ran out while his father's illness was getting worse, finally Zack was the one who helped his father's medical expenses.

Mauren's mother died first due to an accident. Unexpectedly it turned out that the person who had hit his mother was Zack. Once he found out, Mauren finally broke off his relationship with Zack. At that time Mauren's father did not know that his wife died because she was hit by Zack, so the middle-aged man still wanted to accept help from Zack.

It was because of Zack's help that Mauren lived with suffering and threats from Zack.

:::

Naya is currently at her mother-in-law's house. The woman came there to visit her mother-in-law who was still sick since learning about Arka's case.

At first Naya had come with Arka, but it turned out that Arka's father did not allow Arka to come to his house. They almost got into a fight, so Naya decided to come alone without Arka for the sake of peace.

"Naya, how is Arka? Did you hear that he's been reported to the police?" Arka's mother asked.

If I'm being honest, Arka's mother was always worried about her son. Even though her heart was disappointed, a mother would still love her son, no matter what his condition was.

Naya nodded.

"Is he going to jail? I can't bear to see him in jail. But I can't defend him for his mistakes either."

"Last week I asked the victim to have a post mortem. The results will only come out next week. All decisions will be made next week. If Arka is found guilty and has no evidence to defend herself, then she will be in jail."

You can see Arka's mother's shocked reaction when she heard Naya's explanation. The middle-aged woman couldn't imagine what would happen if her son actually went to jail.

"Naya, do you believe Arka did it? I'm not condoning his actions if he's guilty, but I still can't believe he did it."

"I don't know, mom. I don't want to believe it either, but all the evidence points to her. Let's just pray that there will be a miracle."

....

Not much different from Arka's mother, his father was also worried. Arka's father also couldn't bear to see his son in prison. 

Just like his wife, Arka's father is also secretly trying to help ease his son's sentence if his son is found guilty. He had even asked his assistant to find a good lawyer for his son. And today was his schedule to meet with the prospective lawyer.

"Good afternoon sir, I came with Mr. Joseph, the lawyer who will be Mr. Arka's prospective lawyer."

"Good afternoon. Please have a seat." 

Arka's father and Mr. Joseph started chatting. Arka's father tried to find out if his son could get a leniency sentence if he was later found guilty.

"From the story I heard, Mr. Arka is still given the opportunity to find evidence of his innocence. So for the time being what we can do is look for that evidence, I will ask the team for help to collect evidence that can prove Mr. Arka's innocence."

"Is that possible? My son has already been found guilty."

"As long as there is no gavel from the court then everything can still be handled."
