Six months had passed since the accident, and I was finally ready to confront Gael and Kaye in court. I had spent countless hours preparing for this moment, rehearsing my testimony and gathering evidence to support my case.

As I sat in the courtroom, waiting for the trial to begin, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nervousness. I had been a witness before, but never as a plaintiff. I had always been the one asking the questions, not answering them.

Derek, my boyfriend, was the judge presiding over the case. I knew he would be impartial, but it still made me feel a little uneasy. I didn't want him to have to deal with the drama and tension that was sure to arise during the trial.

My lawyer, a seasoned and confident woman, sat beside me, going over our strategy one last time. I nodded, trying to focus, but my mind kept wandering back to Gael and Kaye.

How could they do this to me? How could they betray me like this?

    “I want to judge the defendant by force divorce as compensation for what he did to the victim. But if he opposes the decision I demand, he will have to pay every penalty as a charge for the harm he did to my client.” After I said that, I turned to look to my right, where my client's husband was. They have been together as a couple for more than five years, but I heard from Kaye that her husband abuses her and that he comes home drunk every night, so he often pours out his anger or his stress at work to her. She wants nothing more than to divorce him, but her husband, Wendell, does not agree with her. In order to grant her request, I scared him a little bit that we will file a case against him if he does not sign the divorce paper and the punishment that he can receive is greater than he thought besides that he will also have to pay a large amount for on Kaye's hospital bills and some other things he should pay her. It seems that he felt fear from what I said, so he immediately signed

    “I thank you again, attorney.” The last thing Kaye said to me was after we drove her to her house. I just tried to draw a smile on my lips even though my attention wasn't there but on what I saw at them earlier. However, I didn't ask her any more questions or say anything, instead I just quietly turned my back on her and then got into the car. Gael immediately drove the car away from that place, but my mind was still uneasy. I know that I have no right to doubt about them both because I know that I should not be jealous of my husband, besides that, I have a lot of trust in him that he will never cheat on me. Maybe it's better if I just forget about what I saw. I just closed my eyes rather than think about it. I took a deep breath and turned my attention to our happy memories. After a while, I heard a slow song where that song seemed familiar to me. I slowly opened my eyes, and then I turned to my husband where I noticed that he was smiling at me. He held my hand while I was just silen

    “Hon, what do you want me to cook for our dinner tonight?” I'm currently shopping for groceries inside the market while I'm talking on the phone with my husband, and I'm gently pushing the big cart with my other hand.“I'm sorry, but it looks like I'll be able to get home late today because we have plenty of patients to treat here. The bus they're riding in crashed into a pole, so we're flooded with patients today. I'm deeply sorry.” I can feel in his voice that he is busy with his work and he looks tired, but he needs to be strong for his patients, especially since he is one of their expectations in the hospital. He is not just a staff member of that hospital, but he is a doctor. That's why I understand his situation and I also know that his patient are more important to him than me and that is one of the replacements for the decisions I made since I married him. That's why even though I feel sad because I won't be able to eat dinner with him again tonight, I just tried to put a smil

  • LOVE LOST, LOVE FOUND   Chapter four

    Mental cases like mine are called hemophobia. In other words, I'm afraid of the color red, or I have a phobia of blood. When I was sixteen years old, I witnessed my parents divorce and I also witnessed my mother commit suicide. I was just a high school student at the time, and we had just finished our class when I went home. When I opened the door, it was very dark in the living room, in the kitchen and everywhere I looked. I see nothing but darkness. I walk slowly while resting my hand on the wall and repeatedly call my parents. Until I opened the door of a room, and then I turned on the light switch, there I found my mother lying on the floor as she bathed in her own blood. Since then, the sight of blood has become my weakness and every time I see it I remember what I saw that day, my mother's appearance that night comes back to me. Every time that happens I find it hard to breathe, I panic and I hear horrible voices around me, so they think I'm going crazy. My father also found out

    As I stood there, frozen in shock, Gael and Kaye slowly turned to face me. Gael's eyes were filled with a mixture of guilt and apology, while Kaye's eyes seemed to be filled with a mixture of fear and shame."Cynthia, I..." Gael started to say, but I cut him off."Don't bother explaining, Gael. I think I've seen enough," I said, my voice cold and detached.I turned to leave, but Gael quickly grabbed my arm, holding me back."Cynthia, please listen to me. It's not what you think," Gael pleaded, but I shook my head."I don't want to hear it, Gael. Just let me go," I said, trying to pull my arm free.But Gael held tight, his grip firm but gentle."Cynthia, I love you. I would never do anything to hurt you," Gael said, his eyes locked on mine.But I just laughed, a cold, bitter laugh."Save it, Gael. I'm not buying it," I said, finally managing to pull my arm free.I turned and walked away, leaving Gael and Kaye standing alone in the gallery room. I didn't know where I was going, but I kn

    I turned and walked away, leaving Gael and Kaye standing in the doorway. I didn't know where I was going, but I knew I had to get out of there.As I walked, I felt a sense of numbness wash over me. I couldn't feel anything, couldn't think anything. All I could do was keep moving.Eventually, I found myself at the park where Gael and I used to walk. I sat down on a bench, staring blankly at the ground.I don't know how long I sat there, but eventually, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned to see Gael standing there, a look of concern etched on his face."Cynthia, I'm sorry," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I know I hurt you, and I don't blame you for being angry."I looked at him, searching for any sign of deception. But all I saw was a deep sincerity, a sense of regret that seemed to mirror my own."Why?" I asked, my voice firm but controlled. "Why did you do it, Gael?"Gael hesitated, unsure of how to respond."I don't know," he said finally. "I think I was just lonely,

    As we walked into the house, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. It had been a long and emotional day, and all I wanted to do was collapse onto the couch and forget about everything.But as we entered the living room, I was greeted by a familiar sight - our cat, Luna, was curled up on the couch, fast asleep. She was a beautiful grey and white cat, with piercing green eyes and a soft, fluffy coat.Derek smiled as he saw Luna, and he walked over to the couch to pet her. "Hey, kitty," he said, scratching behind her ears. "How was your day?"Luna purred contentedly, stretching out her long, sleek body. She was a lazy cat, and she loved to sleep. But she was also very affectionate, and she loved to be petted and cuddled.I smiled as I watched Derek and Luna interact. It was a familiar sight, one that I had grown to love over the months that we had been together. And as I looked at Derek, I felt a sense of gratitude towards him. He was a kind and caring person, and he h

    As I stood there, wrapped in Derek's arms, I couldn't help but think about Gael. Despite everything, despite the fact that I had fallen out of love with him, despite the fact that he had hurt me in ways I never thought possible, he was still a part of my life.I had left everything behind, everything I had ever known, just to make him happy. I had given up my career, my friends, my family, all for him. And now, as I thought about him lying in that hospital bed, fighting for his life, I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.Why had I stayed with him for so long? Why had I tolerated his infidelity, his lies, his manipulation? I had thought it was because I loved him, but now I realized it was because I had been afraid to let go.But as I looked at Kaye, sitting on the floor, crying uncontrollably, I knew that I had made the right decision. I had left Gael, and I had found happiness with Derek.But now, as Gael lay in that hospital bed, I couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibilit

    As we walked out of the amusement park, Derek turned to me and said, "You know what would be great right now? Some street food!"I grinned and said, "Absolutely! I'm starving!"We walked down the street, taking in the sights and sounds of the various food vendors. There were stalls selling everything from classic corndogs to exotic Korean BBQ.Derek's eyes widened as he scanned the options. "Oh man, what do I even choose?" he asked, laughing.I chuckled and said, "Well, you can't go wrong with a classic corndog."Derek nodded enthusiastically and we walked over to the corndog stall. The vendor, a friendly old man with a bushy white mustache, greeted us with a warm smile."Welcome, welcome! Corndogs, funnel cakes, cotton candy - what can I get for you fine folks today?"Derek grinned and said, "We'll take two corndogs, please!"The vendor nodded and began expertly dipping the corndogs in a vat of hot oil. As we waited, Derek and I browsed the nearby stalls, taking in the colorful array

    As I left the coffee shop, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and wonder. Who would have thought that my life would take such a dramatic turn? I was a writer, not a celebrity! But I guess that's what happened when you wrote a bestselling book.As I walked to my car, I noticed a group of people staring at me from across the parking lot. I smiled and waved, and they waved back, looking excited and enthusiastic. I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and appreciation for all the support and attention I was receiving.I got into my car and started the engine, feeling a sense of relief and comfort as I settled into the familiar surroundings. As I pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road, I couldn't help but think about all the crazy and wonderful things that had happened to me over the past few days.I drove home, lost in thought and reflection, as the miles flew by. I thought about my book, and how it had changed my life in ways I never could have imagined. I tho

    The next day, I decided to take a break from my writing and do some shopping at the mall. I had been cooped up in my house for too long, and I needed to get out and stretch my legs.As I walked into the mall, I was immediately struck by the sheer number of people milling about. I had forgotten that it was a Saturday, and the mall was always busiest on weekends.I made my way to the first store on my list, a clothing boutique that I had been wanting to check out. As I browsed through the racks of clothes, I noticed that people were starting to stare at me.At first, I thought it was just my imagination, but as I continued to shop, I realized that people were actually recognizing me. They would point and whisper to each other, and some of them even came up to me and asked for autographs.I was taken aback by all the attention. I had never been one for the spotlight, and I didn't know how to handle all the fuss.As I walked through the mall, I noticed that more and more people were stopp

    As we finished our meal and prepared to leave, Derek picked up his glass of wine and looked at me with a mischievous grin. "Hey, let's cheers to something," he said, his eyes sparkling with amusement.I raised an eyebrow, curious. "What are we cheering to?" I asked, picking up my own glass of wine.Derek thought for a moment, a sly smile spreading across his face. "Let's cheers to you, and your amazing journey," he said, his voice filled with sincerity. "You've come a long way, Cynthia, and I'm so proud of you."I felt a lump form in my throat as I looked at Derek, my eyes filling with tears. "I don't know what to say," I said, my voice shaking with emotion. "I just can't believe that at my age, I can have fans and be a writer. It's just...wow."Derek chuckled, clinking his glass against mine. "You're a rockstar, Cynthia," he said, smiling. "And I'm not just saying that because I'm biased."I laughed, feeling a sense of joy and wonder. "I guess I am kind of a big deal," I said, grinni
