CHAPTER 10

My second trial is today. I was seated next to my attorney, who smiled at me and held my hands. Later, the judge arrived, and we all stood up. The trial begins, and they place me in the middle of the courtroom, where Prosecutor Alessander begins to question me.

"Could you tell us about your connection to the victim?"

"She's one of our superior and a friend of mine," I say, my gaze falling to the ground.

While pacing back and forth, he asked, "And what is her relationship with your boyfriend?"

"She was impregnated by my boyfriend," my eyes welled up, but I bit my lower lip as the crowd gasped and whispered.

"Can you tell us what happened on the 25th of February?" he said, and I looked into his eyes and all he did was nod.

"I was on my way in the village of Mt.Anum because I plan to visit my friend then I got a call from my ex-boyfriend and he asked me back and I think he knew that I was hesitating because Agnes is carrying thier baby but he said it is not his an-and she will abort the baby so I asked him since when did he knew that it is not his and he said a while ago then I drove back knowing that Agnes is a suicidal person and when I arrive I sense that something is off because the house is so quiet and only the lights from the living room is on still I knock on her door," my hands start shaking and I got nervous and wanted to cry.

"Please keep going."

"I knock on her door and there's no answer, then I knock again and there's still no answer, so I decide to go home," I say, pausing to catch my breath. "But then I heard something break like a glass, so I walked to her back door and suprisingly it's open," I say while catching my breath.

"Do you need some water, Ms. Seymour?" he inquired, but I simply shrugged.

"I'm fine. So I go into her back door and look for her in the living room but she's not there, so I go to her office and find her sitting in front of her desk with her head in the table, I approach her but as soon as I see her face, I'm horrified because I see some blood, so I shake her body trying to wake her up but instead I spread the blood on me a-and," I started speaking quickly.

I was so nervous that I was taking deep breaths and catching my breath. I look at my brother, who only told me to breath and exhale, which I did, and suddenly I felt better.

"Are you ready to conclude your story, Ms.Agnes?" Alessander said, his voice tinged with contempt.

"I noticed blood on her body and I called the cops," I said as I gaze down.

"Permit me to inquire as to what you did after learning that she is pregnant with your boyfriend?"

"I didn't do anything," I say, my head bowed.

"You didn't do anything?" he inquires.

"Yes," I replied with assurance.

"I discovered that you had an anger management issue when you were a kid and up to your college days, am I right?" he asks as he walks towards the projector.

I raise my head and give him a startled look.

'Achie, he's only doing his job,' I tell myself.

'What did I expect from a stranger?' I bitterly laugh internally.

"Yes," I said.

"And you did nothing after you knew your boyfriend is cheating on you?" he sounded irritated.I shrug, "Yes."

"Well here are some of the paintings you made with human blood. Can you conform it? " I squint at him.

'I'm starting to despise this guy,' I thought to myself.
