"Is that all?" Charles asked Richard with a low voice so as to not wake Isabella who was still sleeping deeply.
'I contacted Isabella's doctor already. His schedule is luckily not tight on the 27th, so he will be able to make it.'
Charles wore a satisfactory smile. It was all coming together fine. "That's good. Did he mention anything else?"
'Well...' Richard drew a long breath before going on. 'He did say his statement would most likely be disturbing.'
Charles's legs danced a bit as his face wore a frown. "Disturbing?"
'He is bound by an oath thus he can only make mention of it during the hearing.'
"I see." Charles felt it was a shame he wouldn't be able to be at the hearing.

Was that how it was?He helped her out with assurance of marriage when infact he had his secretary to fuck as he pleased?But why?With what she saw, his help from all these days looked so dubious.

And if his suspicion was right, then, he was nothing but disappointed in the woman who gave birth to him.The almost empty cup in his hold soon became a medium for instigating more thoughts.

Did something happen?"Charles almost smiled. Richard never failed to read his emotions and mood right. It was one of the reason

"How long have you known the couple Mr. Godfrey?" As one of the men asked, Isabella eyes trained on the man who was a little on the chubby side. He looked familiar, but she really couldn't place his face."For about a year now.""A year... And whom did you have a relationship with?""Gabriel.""How would you describe Gabriel's attitude towards his wife?""He is usually good to her. Sometimes, when I come over to their place, he makes me so jealous because there are times he would cook for her and make her feel loved even while she did nothing.""What if that was just a show?""A show?" As Mr. Godfrey snickered, Isabella instantly recalled where she had met him. He was the drunk guy from the time she told Gabriel she was leaving him.

"What?" the Judge who hadn't spoken a word in a while, asked. Isabella's eyes shut and her head ducked. As her mind replayed the events that led to her losing her child at that time, her heart became even heavier. "Miscarriage?" the man's deep questioning voice asked almost uncertainly. As Mr. Richard's hand came onto hers to offer his own little support, her mind instantly went to Charles. There was a time she wanted to tell him about it. But at that moment... her entire being was against the idea. "Yes." The atmosphere had become heavy with emotion. "That day when she helped herself into the hospital, she was so numb. It was until I noticed bloodstains on her gown and ran tests that I could deduce she had suffered a loss." "Did she say what happened?" Dr. Jones shook his head.
