"Mr . Des'aire?" I glanced over my shoulder at my lawyer, he was standing by the door with his hands tucked into the pockets of his perfectly tailored suit.

"Yes?" I answered , I was sitting at a floor to ceiling window, overlooking the vast estate that I now currently lived on, deep in thought.

"They're ready for you sir" I nodded but still made no effort to move, I was indicating that I still needed a minute.

Catching the drift, he tapped the side of the door frame twice and walked away. Money could almost get you anything you needed and luckily enough, with the right amount I was able to convince the court to have a private trial at my estate, far away from the drama, far away from the lights and cameras.

It would eventually end up on tv, just not live. It was best for my mental health.

Rising from my seated position, I brushed my hands down my slacks to even out the creases. I took one last look at the greenery before making my way out of the room.

The past five months have been interesting to say the least, Veronica and my brother were gathering evidence against me, while trying to hide their mother. They didn't know that I've been gathering evidence of my own and I was well aware of their little scheme.

Isabella had been the one who was taking care of me ever since along with the help of Dr. Jones and Dextrose. They tried to cheer me up and help me run business from the comfort and safety of my home.

I began to see the psychiatrist and I must say I've definitely seen improvements, thoughts of hurting my self were little to none and was learning to protect my energy which helped my mood big time.

I stumbled upon the big double door at the end of the hall and took in a big breath before shoving them open, immediately all eyes were on me, evil eyes and all.

I paid mon of it any attention and kept my head straight as I made my way to the seat at the far end beside my lawyer.

"Good of you to join us Mr. Des'aire" the judge commented looking at me from under his spectacles, my lips thinned as I nodded to him.

"Let's begin shall we" he announced opening up his file to scan over the case details.

The judge lay out the details and all the rules and how this trial was going run, we all declared our oaths and was now seated again for the prosecutor to present her case.

Her name was saylor Fernandez and she showed everything we had assumed they had against me, Veronica was shooting bullets my way while Zues remained calm, I still paid them no mind.

Ms. Fernandez showed them the bruises, some text messages from way back I had no idea about, pictures and video's of me having episodes and pictures of me choking Zues. I had to withhold a chuckle when I realized that's all they'd got against me, though they were serious claims they clearly came unprepared.

"These are serious allegations Mr. Des'aire, I hope you have a solid comeback" I stared the judge dead in his eyes when he passed his remark, he cleared his throat and peered back down on his papers. He better control himself.

"Ms. Fernandez you said you had a witness?" Ms. Fernandez nodded and gestured to the security to bring the person in, everyone's head turned to the door as it was being opened. Taylor walked in, proud as ever I clenched my jaws and bit my tongue.

I can't say that her presence didn't make me feel upset, she is my molester but,

I wasn't going to let any of them aggravate me
