"Your Honor, the reason Mrs. Ross married my client, Mr. Hans, is because Miss. Keira Scarlet is mentally unfit." The opposition lawyer said.

Thanks to Martin, the court is currently filled with reporters and news channels who are currently broadcasting live in all the news channels.

They wanted to humiliate me.

What they never knew was that the person who's gonna get humiliated is well... not me.

"Could you prove that?" My lawyer asks.

Mr. Hans' lawyer gave the judge and he also kept a picture under the magnifier.

The picture projected onto the screen.

A gasp escaped from everyone's mouth.

Even from me.

It showed Mrs. Hans' body covered from whip wounds.

"Miss Keira used whip to abuse my clients wife. She said she submitted herself to protect her daughter."

"Miss Rachel Hans, please take the stand."

She did as she was said.

"Miss Rachel, did Keira abuse you?" the opposition lawyer asked.

She kept quiet.

"You can say it out loud... No one is going to hurt you here. Don't you wanna bring justice." He asked.

"Yes, I do wanna bring justice." Rachel said.

She then got up from the stand, went to her 'mother', took out an ointment.

"Here, use this, its a medicine that Keira used, it healed her back, even the scars disappeared." Rachel said.

Everyone went quiet.

Rachel took out her phone and handed it to the judge.

"There's complete evidence.... it includes how my parents abused Keira and the murder of her parents." She said.

The judge ordered it to be played.... out loud.

"So it was when you were almost five..... I was not good in business.. AT ALL.... But I always wanted to leave a carefree life.... With a bundle of money.... Big house... Everyone fearing and respecting me.... I wanted my face to be plastered across all the tabloids..." Frank's voice starts.

"You little b*tch....." Frank yelled at Rachel.

"For someone who didn't even passed high school, he was well known. Then I thought, 'what about me'.. I passed high school, even though I used underhanded, I passed... I knew what the person told me to do was illegal...At that point of time, I already did a lot of illegal stuffs. I've sold fake stuffs as the original, I've even sold drugs. This was far more easier." The recording blasted.

"I made a perfect plan... Kill Daniel Ross, when he is alone... But the man was not seen alone.... He was always with his family... And his wife, she was gorgeous, any man would want to bang her."

I felt myself quivering, remembering that gore incident.

"I had to follow him for a month, and I was losing my head. That was when I knew what I had to do. For the months I followed them, They always used to sit under a particular tree and he always goes to buy ice-cream across the street. It was perfect. I rented a car, of course for an illegal source."

This time i started sobbing out loud.

"I heard his wife wailing before I drove away... I waited patiently for the newspaper the next day, and there it was.... the sentence I wanted to see. 'CHAIRMAN OF THE KINGS-DANIEL ROSS PASSED AWAY.' "

Every one was there.

My family, Zay's family...

Grandma cried silently, for her son-in-law.

"Of course there was police after us, but Mr. Martin said that he will deal with them... He bought them, the cops. And the investigation was closed."

"Mr. Martin?" Rachel's voice asked.

"Yes darling, Andrew Martin... I heard he and Ross were arch-enemies... He was the one who came to us and told us about destroying 'The Kings'. I heard his children is from West High... You must've seen them... His son is the basketball captain."

"Okay, then what about her mom?" .

"Well, it was hard to deal with her, Martin already told me that. So I started out slowly. I went after her and met her as if we were coincidentally meeting. I heard Keara was a big fan of 'fate'. When I knew she was putting her guard down little by little,I bought the topic of a father figure for her daughter."

I saw Aunt Mazarin and Aunt Topaz's eyes lose its sparkle.

This is it.

"The little witch was getting closer to me, I had to hold back everything to not smack that little creature right across her face. My plan worked, when she asked if I was married, I said 'no' and we had a small marriage as in just signing the paper.... no guests... not even her family knew about it."

"It was later I actually read the clauses.... I would only be living as a father figure until Keira turns sixteen... It was a contract marriage... It also said that I could have girlfriend and can break the contract if I wanted to marry someone. She was a brainiac. I knew that if she lived to see her little witch grow up, the plans I mad will go in vain."

"So I asked Martin, to give me a poison which slowly affects her heart... Even the doctor who treated her was ours. So it worked, the b*tch died and all that her family knew was that her heart failed after her love's death. And nobody knew that it was a contract marriage. So we got this...."

"You rascal.... You murderer." I heard my grandma cry, her daughters holding her back.

It was when Zay held me, I found that I was slowly falling down.

"Wait.... Keira is eighteen now... that means....."

"Yes dear, we have to give these back to her. Now I don't want her to have these back. That is why, we sold her for a million dollars to Mr. Baker."

"He is eighty-five years old.... rich too. I heard he gives his bed warmers a lot of money. In other words, she can live her life luxuriously."

"Tomorrow I want you to bring that b*tch here. I will send for Mr.Baker. We need to do it as fast as possible."

.

The recording then proceeds to next one.

"What do you think we should do Martin?"

"You used to whip Keira.... right. How about you whip Veronica." Martin's voice spoke.

It is me or is Veronica, a name for b*tches.

I know two Veronicas and both of them are on my hate list.

"Why?"

"We could make it seems that Keira is mentally unfit after witnessing her father die.... The documents from hospital, leave it to me."

The judge ordered it to be stopped.

He took a long sigh.

"I guess with this we know who the culprit is...." The judge said.

******************************

Martin was given a year in prison.

Veronica was given four years and Frank for a lifetime.

They deserved it.

Grandma came to me, told me that if i say 'yes' she would take me away from here.

"But I don't think, you will agree to that anymore." She said.

I kiss my family on their cheeks before they left.

I dont know when I'll be seeing them again.

I smile to myself.

Mom....Dad... The justice is served. You can rest in peace now.

Zay came and hugged me from behind.

"You okay." He asked.

"Hmm." I close my eyes feeling calm.

"Come lets go home." He says.

.

.

.

At school, everyone starts whispering.

Not about me, but about Rachel.

"So this is how you felt...." Rachel told me when we were at lunch.

"She is a murderers daughter...." I heard Dila say out loud.

This was getting on my nerves.

"SHUT THE F*CK UP.... WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE..... YOUR FROM THE SIMILAR CATEGORY... BULLY... I think the clothes your currently wearing is from Rachel... Afterall I don't think you can afford it." I yell.

"Whoa... Keira... Calm down." Liya whispers.

"Didn't you all see.... She stood up against her own parents for justice and you are speaking ill about her... You are no different from them." i scold them angrily.

Everyone became quiet.

"She is just mooching off you." Risa argues.

"Shut up before i throw you out from here." Came in Zay's voice.

"Are you okay?" Jack asks Rachel.

He sits next to Sophia and I saw her smile at him.

Liya was quiet, not greeting her date for the party as he sat next to her. She continued eating, but I did see her hand going under the table to hold Ryan's.

"So, What are you guys exactly?" I broke the silence.

I saw my first two friends' shocked expression.

"Are you guys..... like together?" Rachel asks.

They nod..... It was 'not' surprising.

We then laugh and talk about silly things.

"Are you looking for a boyfriend?" Sophia asks Rachel.

"The new guys in our class asked us about you." Liya says.

"Oh him.... No.... I think I will wait for the one." She says with a smile.

She's changed.

She was genuinely happy.

******************************

[ 6 MONTHS LATER ]

The exams got over two days ago.

And the school ended... officially. But the students are here preparing for prom.

I know I only got to enjoy school life for seven months.

We are officially going to a new phase.... adulthood.

"SCARLET" I heard Liya call.

I turn around.

"Hmmmm."

"Did he ask you for prom?" She asks.

I turn my head from left to right.

"Ryan asked me and Jack will probably be asking Sophia... I know she is angry with Jack. But she will say yes." Liya says sitting next to me, under the tree.

The same tree that I saw Zay alone the first time I enrolled here.

The same tree, where my hatred for Zay started.

Now this place became our small haven.

I look at the tree, the spot where our initials were engraved.

ZT ❤️ KS

I smile.

"Could I speak alone to my love, Liya."

We turned around to see Zay standing with all his glory.

For the past few months, he has grown taller.... more bulkier.... more... adult.

Liya leaves us alone.

"I knew I would find you here... I think I have to uproot this tree and place it in my garden."

"Why are you here?" I ask as he bend down to kiss me.

He looks at me lovingly.

"Will you do me the honor to be my date for the prom?" He asks me.

I smile..... something that's been always on my face lately.

"Yes..... and even if you didn't ask I will be going with you."

Tomorrow's gonna be a hectic day....

In the morning we are gonna have our graduation ceremony and from seven, the prom.

These few months were one of my happiest moments except the occasional moments, when Sophia and Jack fights.

But their fights end as quickly as it started.

Me and Rachel have been living with Zay.

Uncle David's contract ended and he returned to his family.

.
.
.

[ MORNING... THE NEXT DAY ]

"I don't think I can walk in these Elena." I say.

"Elena, I can't breathe.... make it a little loose." I plead.

I knew the moment, the prom planners released the theme, that this is gonna be a disaster.

"So the theme for the prom is ..... Fantasy.." Rachel announced yesterday.

Well......

The moment I came home from school, I was dragged to Elena's car by my friends.

"Let's go shopping." Rachel and Sophia said.

I've chose almost sixty gowns, when my friends told me that they'll choose it for me.

I shouldn't have said 'yes'.

And I'm suffering for it.

The gown they chose.... oh God.... was heavy as f*ck.

Half of it was covered with stones and beads.

Well, it is beautiful, but I don't think a girl, who never wore gown, can walk in that and high heels.

I slept throughout the graduation speech, as I came back home a few hours before school.

The shops didn't close down even after the closing time, curtesy of Elena.

Zay didn't complain though.

I slept on his shoulder with Zay giving me a massage.

{Keira's gown}

"Come on Keira. You can do it." Rachel said while putting her makeup.

All three of them dressed quickly.

I asked them how they did it.

"Well... we wore dresses much heavier than this since we were young.... sooo..." Sophia said.

"You'll get used to it, once you start wearing it." Liya says.

Liya wore a dress similar to mine, but black colored.

{Liya's gown}

I've noticed thatLiya mostly wears dark colored.... but never black.

"Why did you choose black?" I ask her.

Sophia snorts.

"Liya has a habit of buying dresses with the colors that's not already bought..... She now only has to add black to her wardrobe." Sophia says.

How much clothing does she have.

"I must say Keira, black color is good..... No wonder you are attracted to this color." Liya said.

Sophia and Rachel wore light colored gowns.

It looks so fluffy and light.

But I did try to lift it..... it is heavy.

{Sophia's gown}
~¥~

{Rachel's gown}

"Okay.... you are done...." Elena says.

"Umm... guys ...please no makeup and give me some small earrings." I plead.

"Okay...okay... You don't need makeup anyway.... You don't want any necklace?" Rachel asks.

"No." I answer, lightning fast.

All of them laughs.

"Girls are you..... Oh my God..... all of you are so..... gorgeous." Eliza enter the room.

"Wow....." Zera canes into our view.

She starts counting.

"Sh*t.....I have five more years for prom." Zera tells to herself..... loudly.

"Anyway.... the guys are ready...." Eliza says.

We nod.

"Rachel.... are you sure ... not going with a guy.... like you just rejected a lot of them." I ask her.

"Yes... I am sure.... I want to have time for myself. Anyway I'm gonna dance with them.... While you guys can only dance with one." She smirks.

"Let's go shall we...." Sophia says.

I saw the boys open their mouth, wide enough, even a cat can go through them.

Zay looks at me lovingly.

I smile at him.

"You look..... I don't know what to say." He whispers when I was close to him.

"Guys, quit it.... I guess this is how you felt when I was with a man.... yuck.... I didn't know it felt like this..... I know that I was doing more than what you guys are doing now." Rachel says and goes out.

"Let's go.... Shall we?"

I kiss Eliza's cheeks and waves at Elena and Zera.

And we leave for school.

******************************

It was beautiful.

The decorations.... were.... wow.

They outdid themselves...

I meant the planners.....

"I heard it was that... Rachel who designed this." I heard one student whisper.

I whip my head towards Rachel.

"Rach....did you do this." I ask.

"Yup.... it seems if I put my full mind to it, I can do amazing things." She smirks.
.
.

I felt everyone stare at me.

Guys especially.

"Don't mind them." Zay told me as we danced.

"Hmmm."

We look into each other's eyes as we danced the night away.

I look at my friends as they danced happily in their love's arms.

My eyes search for Rachel.

And it found her gobbling up the cupcake.

Years of trying to look beautiful, she forbade herself from eating those delicious treats.

Guess there won't be any food left tonight.

"Just look at me, love.... Just me only.... Tonight don't think about anyone else.... Tonight is our night." He says and he dips to catch my lips.

The clock strikes eleven.

"Let's get out of here, my love." Zay says.

I nod.

Today is the day.

The day I going toe turn from a girl to a woman.....

His woman.
