Broken

Chapter Thirty Four

Daisy's POV

The alarm starts blaring in my ear and I try to reach over to turn it off and his arms tighten around me. I struggle to break free of them and he grunts behind me as he nuzzles into the back of my neck.

"Mmmm, just a few more minutes." He grunts as he presses his morning wood against my ass. I can't help but press back against him.

"Baby, we have to get up. We need to be at the courthouse at eight."

He groans and rolls over as I quickly get out of bed and head into the bathroom to get ready. He eventually comes into the shower and wraps his arms around me, and I melt into his embrace as I lay my head back on his chest.

"How are you doing this morning?"

"I am terrified, but I am tired of him trying to rule my life. I am ready to get this over with and put him behind me and spend the rest of my life with you."

"You want to be with me forever?"

I turn around and wrap my arms around his neck, and look into his eyes.

"I love you so much, Dustin. You have been there for me every step of the way, ever since I met you.I want to be with you if you want to be with me."
I see a smile spread across his face and a sparkle in his eyes. He leans down to place a soft kiss on my lips.

"That is what I want more than anything in this world. You are my endgame. I love you Dais Lynne Rhodes."

"I love you too, Dustin Stevens. Now let's finish getting ready and get this all over with."

"You got it!"

We quickly get ready and head out. Colin is ready and waiting in the lounge area and gets up to follow us out. There is a car waiting for us and it takes us to the courthouse where Mr. Jackson is waiting. He is sitting in a chair in the front lobby looking at his phone. He looks up and catches my eye as he stands up and quickly walks over to us.

"Good morning everyone."

"Good morning." We all said together.

"They are going to start with you and the other women who have come forward with claims of abuse. I want to call you up first since you had the most time with him and suffered the physical and mental abuse."

"That sounds alright. What should I expect?"

"Just questions about the abuse. Just tell them what happened. Don't elaborate too much. The defense will come after your character."

"They are gonna try and make me look like a gold digging slut."

"It will be tough, but I will be there to block any questions I can. It's going to be an emotional day. I'm not going to sugar coat it."

"I am ready for this to be over with. I am done with him controlling me. I want my life back."

We sit for a while longer talking about the case and everything that will happen. It seems like this will be a long trial and very daunting. I will only be needed for today as the rest of the trial will be money laundering and racketeering along with his illegal businesses. He stands to go away for a very long time. Mr. Jackson says they have solid proof of everything. It's almost time and we start to head to the courtroom. As we head there, I see a familiar blond heading straight forward as I hear her heels clicking on the tile. Her eyes are glued to Dustin and she has a wicked smile on her face. My hand squeezes tighter around his as he leans in and kisses my temple.

"What is she doing here?" I whisper.

"I don't know. She should still be in lockup herself."

She quickly walked up to us and immediately hugged Dustin. I feel him tense up as he lets go of my hand and tries to pull Tasha off of him.
