Laura was the only one sweating in the courtroom as she stood in the dock. She was facing the judge to pass her sentence today.
Raymond held Grace's hand more tightly. It was obvious that her case deserved a death sentence. She had killed more than one occasion.
The only thing that could save her was the exceptional quality of her attorney. That was not so sure.
Raymond looked at her again. She was afraid, young, helpless and ashamed. He felt pity for her. The only reason he was not regretting her over right now was because that cleared Grace's name. If not, he would be fighting with himself.
Laura was looking round the courtroom. She was definitely searching for a comforting face but she wouldn't find that here.
To everyone here, she was an enemy, a killer, someone that couldn't be mingled with. She continued looking around until she got to Raymond.
Raymond quickly avoid her eyes. She would see his pity for her right on his face and that wo
Raymond walked with Grace out of the courtroom. His mind was not with him. It had accompanied Laura who was whisked away by the cops.All he was thinking about right now, was what she was going through, what she would go through which might break her, destroy her."That lawyer is good" Grace broke through his mind bringing him back around.She was wrong. The lawyer was not very good. Raymond had even started doubting if he could do the job."He is not good at all. He gave the Judge a reason to accuse Laura of murders, impersonations and all other things that could land her a life sentence or even death sentence" Raymond was flowing freely. He had forgotten he was speaking to Grace who would definitely feel somehow.Grace laughed and clapped her hands. She looked straight in his eyes. She was smiling broadly."Unbelievable, the side you take in this matter is very surprising" it seemed she had just cleared her doubt about that."This i
Raymond walked into the prison where Laura was held. He was not sure what their discussion was going to be about. Pat and Sasha went to sit beside a large table.He joined them. Not long later, Laura walked towards them in handcuffs. She was walking slowly and weakly. She looked physically healthy but she was weak emotionally.She came to them and sat down."Could you please excuse us?" she was asking Pat and Sasha to leave.Raymond was confused and he watched what was happening in astonishment."That's not a problem" Sasha smiled after they had already stood up and ready to leave."They brought me here and now you are sending them away" Raymond pointed at them as they were moving out."They claim to be helping women in distress and traumatic stress or a woman that could eventually get to that" Laura spoke about without not much respect that Raymond thought they deserved.They were good people on a good cause."The
Raymond walked slowly into their compound. He was still unsure how he would relate his story to Grace that was already angry.But he thought he had to believe and be confident. They always got over every problems between them."Hi" Mrs Flinch greeted from a distance.Raymond turned towards her direction. He waved his hand at her as he couldn't make any sound.He went in straight as the door was opened ajar. He saw Grace going back up in a hurry. There was an opened luggage on the sofa. She was stuffing in her things before he came.She came back with some clothes on her hands. She stuffed it into the luggage and closed it.Raymond wondered. It seemed she was going away from him. Just because of the little disagreement at the court."What is happening here?" he asked trying to be funny."Shut up,don't say anything!" she yelled with her voice denoting sadness and anger."I will not say anything if you care to explain what
Raymond amidst all irregularities in his mind managed to be in the courtroom for Laura's verdict. It mattered a lot to him. He couldn't deny it.Laura was brought into the dock as her case was the next to be decided. Raymond had missed the first session today.Laura was obviously very happy. Her happiness was blooming enough that the cops walking her to the docks couldn't ignore it.One of them shook his head after watching her for some seconds. Happy Laura! She wasn't aware of what was happening around her.She looked around the courtroom slowly. She delayed a laugh that would break out of her lips if she found what she was looking for.Raymond knew she was looking for him. He gasped and fixed his gaze on her until their eyes would make contact.She paused for a while after seeing him. Smiles sprouted from her lips until it covered her whole face. She blew a kiss to him.Raymond looked away briefly for her to know he didn't want that
"Hi" a female beautiful voice sang immediately Raymond made it in.He had a hard time before he could find where she was standing,behind the counter.The counter was not appropriate for an hotel that could be called a Millionaire Island.Except for the wine cellar close by that was filled with exotic and expensive wine. The counter was too simple."You are from the Mayor" the girl said again as Raymond was still wondering if he was in the right place."Yes I am from the Mayor and I am supposed to be in an inn known as Millionaire Island" he stylishly expressed his disappointment about the counter."In the whole world as at now, this is the only Millionaire Island in existence" she smiled and stamped the low counter softly."Yes it is" he looked around again. There was no one around except this girl which seemed to be the receptionist."Everyone is enjoying the comfort of their rooms, our rooms" she had definitely noticed Raymon
Grace walked into her room quietly. She had fun but Raymond had cut it short. She knew he would come but didn't expect his arrival that fast.She was still undecided whether to forgive him or not. She loved him but what he just did, showed that his love for her had expired.Hugh was trying to get to her but he wasn't her type of a guy to date. They would only be friends,nothing more."Oh my bed" she jumped on the bed which bounced in a way that she found very pleasing.There was a knock on the door. That couldn't be Raymond. He didn't know her room except Susan told him.Susan seemed to like Raymond. That made Grace a little bit jealous but she should let it go and let them be together.The knock came again, more intense. The person knocking must have grown angry for not being answered."Who is that?" she asked before she could open the door to see who it was."Susan,it's you" she moaned in surprise as she set her eyes on her.
"She's over there" Susan whispered to Raymond. She pointed to a direction for him."Thanks" Raymond followed her lead immediately. He saw Grace going to the large dining table. She carried a small tray containing her breakfast.Raymond rushed after her to quickly take a seat beside her."Sir, you are to pick your dish before going to the dining" a male attendant Raymond was seeing for the first time stopped him.Raymond was angry but he didn't have time to show him that. He was watching Grace taking a seat at the dining table and wishing someone else not taking the seat beside her."Excuse me sir" the attendant called him again after he might have discovered he wasn't paying attention to him."Please,I'm in a hurry" Raymond took the little tray the male attendant had in his hand."In a hurry to eat?" the attendant asked in confusion.It was a joint breakfast. The guests would come to a large dining table for a reason not clear
Raymond didn't respond. He wasn't sure of what to say. Susan had obviously tagged him as a bad person right now."Who are you?" Susan turned away slightly from him."He is a thief!" the guard replied on his behalf.Susan's face was full of pity and disappointment as well. She kept staring at him with a lot of questions definitely running through her mind."At the bay?" the guard spoke to his radio. "I'm coming right away" it seemed he would be leaving the basement soon."I have to be at the bay. I think the cops have arrived. Be careful with him. Although he is handcuffed. Do not move too close to the bars" he said to Susan and walked away."Did she left you because you are a petty thief?" she had obviously thought a lot about the issue of this theft.She had even concluded in her mind that he was a thief. She stood aloof and watched Raymond who had decided not to say anything."What else could have made her that unforgiving? S
