I stepped out of the shower cubicle and grabbed my towel from the rail wrapping it round my w-t body.

I dried my body then walked further into my wide and classic room. I picked my body lotion and started applying it smoothly on my skin.

I smiled rubbing my skin lightly, running my fingers on it smoothly. I love it that my skin tone is now lighter which makes it clearly more beautiful though the scars are still lot visible.

At least, its now back to having a little shine, i guess its because Alan hasn’t laid his hands on me for some time now and I wish it stays like that.

I dropped the body lotion and walked to my body. Then selecting my clothes, putting it on then I turned and walked back standing in front of my mirror.

I smiled to myself picking up an hair brush making sure that my hair is smooth and shining, also silky just like Reece’s hair.

I walked out of my room and headed down the stairs hurriedly going over to meet my family.

“Good morning, Dad”. I sang out happily.

He frowned a little. “You are late, Natalya”.

“Really? Dad, its just one minute lateness, is there any difference?”. Natalie walked in as she defended me.

“Lets just go”.

“But Dad … “. I pouted. “Are you angry at me? I didn’t take long”.

“Natalya Gemma Heathrow”.

I giggled playfully as he call me by my full name, my middle name is actually Gemma while Natalie’s middle name is Gianna.

“We have a court case to win”. He said and walked out through the main door, guards behind him.

Natalie slanged her arm around me. “Don’t worry, Sis. You are definitely gonna win”.

“Thanks”. I smiled at her.

“Lets go already, your boyfriend is gonna be waiting”. She winked at me and walked off after Dad.

I chuckle lightly and went along with them, she is right though. I really can’t wait to see my Reece Kingston Carter. How sweet.

“Step into the box please”.

I did that and took a deep breath willing myself to be a little calm.

“Miss. State your full name for the record and to the court”.

“Natas__”. I stopped myself quickly. “I’m Natalya Heathrow”.

“You had a rape case filed against one Alan Williams right?”.

“I did”. I admitted to him truthfully.

“So apparently now, according to the statement that you had given. You consider yourself as the victim of Alan William’s torture?”.

“Yes Sir”. I replied him timidly.

“And do you have any proof whatsoever other than the written statements?”.

I breathed in and out deeply. “Yes”.

“Well then, show us what you have”. The lawyer said.

I sighed before rolling up the sleeves of my shirt to my shoulders exposing my arm which revealed the scars.

There were low murmurings in court as I did that. And also the judge looked at me for a little while before taking down notes, writing some things down on a notepad.

“As you can see, this are evidence that Alan Williams is guilty of rape incident as charged”.

Alan’s lawyer stood up immediately as my lawyer said that. “Objection, Your honor”.

“Objection sustained”. The judge replied making my lawyer to go sit back.

“Permit me to question, your honor”. Alan’s lawyer spoke up.

“Permission granted. Resume your seat while he proceeds”.

Alan’s lawyer walked towards me. “Could you briefly describe how you got those acclaimed marks?”.

“Like it was in the statement, he beat me up”.

“Surely beatings wouldn’t cause all those marks”. He replied mockingly.

“He made use of a belt, made use of other things to make me do what he wants”. I say coldly. “He treated me like an animal”.

“Do you swear that this is an accurate and true statement?”.

I was confident enough. “I do”.

“You say that my Client, Alan Williams did all that to you”.

“Isn’t it clear with the marks or should I show you more?”.

“Why didn’t you file a notice of appearance or maltreatment with the criminal justice system?”.

“Huh?”.

“Why now?”. He asked again. “Why do you chose to speak up now?”.

“I have nightmares every single day of my life reminding me how I was treated”. I told him tearfully.

“Is that your testimony?”.

“Yes. Yes it is”.

“Is it fair to state that you were adopted by his parents and living together. He regarded you as his only sibling”.

“That doesn’t mean anything”. I retorted.

“How can we tell that you are not making up all these statements?”.

I was taken aback. “What?”.

“My Client claims to have never touched you whatsoever and what do you say to that?”.

“But the__”.

“Those marks may be done by you to get sympathy”. He said interrupting me.

I let out a scoff. “Sympathy? Do you know what I have gone through in his hands?”.

I lifted up my shirt slightly to show the scar patches on my lower back. They need to know that devil, what Alan is capable of.

“I direct the jury to disregard the statement that my client raped her”. He said facing the judge.

I bit my l-ips partly trying to hold back my tears from falling. Oh Gosh!! I can’t handle all of this at all.

I sat next to Reece still a little bit nervous as from the questioning. He held my hand and intertwined our fingers trying to calm me down a little bit.

“Don’t worry”. He whispered. “Everything will be sorted out”.

I nodded in response to what he said and he pulled me closer to him, i leaned on his chest breathing out deeply.

“Will the defendant please rise?”.

Alan walked to the front and stood in the box. I hate him so much. I hate him with every piece of me, he destroyed my life.

“Do you solemnly affirm that the answers you are about to give, will be the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So help you, God?”.

“Yes”. He replied his lawyer.

What a bastard!! He’s f–king lying which is what he’s good at, what he’s the best at.

“How do you plead to the charge contained in court about you?”. My lawyer asked him.

“I plead not guilty”.

“Would you like to say anything on your own behalf?”.

“I didn’t touch her. She was always the one trying to get closer to me, forcing herself on me”.

I gasped inwardly as he said that. How dare he? I wish he gets convicted and rots in jail for what he just said right now.

“If it pleases the court, let me call your attention to that afternoon in which you had attempted to rape Miss Natalya before the cops were called on you”. My lawyer told him.

Oh yeah!! It was that afternoon that Javan had shot him. Lets see how he tried to even escape this one now.

“I didn’t attempt to rape her”. He lied.

“Then what was your purpose?”.

“She had her boyfriend beat me up for no reason, i was in the hospital for a week just because of what he did to me”.

Okay! Maybe that was true. Reece did beat him up badly landing him in the hospital.

“I remind you that you are still under the oath”. My Lawyer said. “I’ll rephrase the question then, why was Natalya found in your house naked and bleeding?”.

I pause immediately. Wait!! Was he talking about when Reece found out what Alan did to me?

“Objection, Your honor”. Alan’s lawyer butted in. “The victim has no proof at all”.

“Objection overruled. Resume your seat”.

Alan’s lawyer frowned sitting back down while my lawyer continued with what he was saying.

“I’m showing you a tape now”.

My supposed lawyer handed a tape to the jury which was being played immediately. It was a video of Reece going into his house with me in his arms bleeding.

I looked up at Reece. “How did you get all that?”.

“The mansion had security cameras”. He replied lowly.

“I had showed you what has already been received in evidence as Exhibit one”. The lawyer continued. “It is proof enough that the defendant is guilty as charged in the incident”.

“I deny to that motion”. Alan’s lawyer stood up again. “I object to that, no predicate has been laid”.

“Motion denied and Objection overruled”. The judge replied dryly.

“I showed you what has been marked as identification”. My lawyer faced Alan. “Now what do you wish to say?”.

“I have no idea when she was bleeding”.

“I’m going to move to strike that answer as non responsive”. The lawyer retorted.

“I really had no idea”.

“Your honor, i say that the defendant acted knowingly and intentionally since due to all evidence has been placed towards you so I rest my case”. My lawyer said and went to sit down.

“Any comments from the defense counsel, will you lay a foundation?”. The judge asks.

“The defense has no objection as to the foundation”.

“I’m so nervous right now”. I whispered to Reece.

He squeezed my palm softly. “We are going to win this case, not him. Trust me on that”.

“Do you wish to say anything before the sentence is imposed?”. The judge asked Alan.

He shook his head. “No, your honor”.

“Here is my judgement, I hereby__”.

“I want to testify against the defendant”. A voice at the back interrupted him.
