(TW: This volume contains mentions of drugs, abuse, r4pe (don't want Wattpad to cancel me), swearing and blood. You have been warned ( ͡°Ĺ̯ ͡° ) mk?)
"Mrs Pisces alias Eliza Pisces is found guilty to drugging her step-daughter, Gemini Pisces. She is also found guilty of over-dosing and drugging two lovers, Henry Isle and Kinsley Frederic. I hereby sentence you to 45 years in prison for drugging, attempted murder, murder of two people, and abusing drugs." The judge decided.
Eliza was distraught. "Your Honour, h-how can this be? I have never killed anyone in my life nether lest attempted to." She tried lying her way through. Mr Pisces stood in the witnesses area and was deeply disappointed by what his second wife did. Gemini stood there along with Craig.
"I don't feel sorry for her." Gemini whispered to Craig. "That is understandable. Now she will be allowed to talk with you for a while. Don't forget anything." Craig responded. Eliza was brought to the stand while Gemini walked towards the Witness Stand.
"Ms Gemini Pisces, you are allowed to back-up the provided evidence. Or you can talk to your mother either of them." The judge said. "Thank you, Your Honour." She thanked him. "Gemini! I beg you, I didn't do anything to harm you. I didn't try to kill you! Please explain to the jury about this, I beg you!" Eliza begged.
"I, Ms Gemini Pisces, am welcomed to be here. As you know, my step-mother has been drugging me for the last few years or should I say decade. It was not known to me or my father about her previous lovers as she never told us about them." Gemini began.
Terror formed in Eliza's eyes as Gem started speaking. "Gemini! Why are you-". " SILENCE!" The judge instructed Eliza. "I did not give you the permission to speak, Mrs Eliza Pisces."
"Yout Honour, actually it's Ms Eliza Houston. I am planning to divorce her soon." Mr Pisces said. "Very well then, Mr Pisces. You have certainly made a brilliant desicion." The judge said.
Gemini continued speaking. "So far, I want to at least thank her for giving me and taking care of my younger sister while I went to school. I graduated highschool thanks to that. But I have found evidence against her which the topic is my sister."
"It turns out the bruises my sister was getting everyday wasn't from her carelessness. Ms Eliza was hurting her secretly. Ms Eliza is also a fake identity which she made for herself."
"Thanks to the private investigator me and my dad hired, we have found out many things we didn't know." She took out her phone from her pocket and looked at the terror on Eliza's face.
"Number One: Ms Eliza's real name is Leanora Javier. She is 45 years old and she is from York, England. Leonora's mother is a victim of s*xual abuse and had her via a certain incident."
ElIza or should I say Leonora's face was was locked on Gemini. Her mind was completely warped away from reality. She hated that everyone knew her past, her secrets, her mother, her life, her trauma...
"Leonora had a family before marrying into mine. It wasn't a marriage of love. She was initially r*ped and had a forced relationship with the man as she had a child. She eventually miscarried and got kicked out."
"Stop it, you bitch! Why are you doing this to me! All I ever did was drug you and you are exposing every single bit of my life! Why! What if I did it to you?! Would you enjoy being tormented in front of every fucking soul?!" She screamed out.
"Silence! Haven't I told you abusing drugs and attempt murder aren't the only crimes you committed? Being silent will reduce your sentence. Listen to that and stay silent." The judge scolded Leonora. Gemini paused for a second thinking about it.
"...but before getting kicked out, she drugged the man aka Henry Isle. As for Kinsley Frederic, he was her college boyfriend who was addicted to drugs and eventually killed off by her as she had mixed poison into it. I shall stop there." Gemini ended.
"I see there is still more. Why not explain?" The judge asked. "I would rather keep it to myself." Gemini replied. "Doing that won't let her stay in jail." The judge pestered. "Your Honour, that doesn't matter. It is something even I would not want to experience. That's all."
The judge kept quiet. "Not only that, Your Honour. When I mentioned her past s*xual life, you didn't seem to care she was kidnapped or harmed. The government's rules are meant to protect the citizens but it only seems to cause them more harm."
"Miss Gemini-". "You don't care whether she gets justice or not. You just want your pay. That's all you fucking care about. I would like to ask the jury of this judge. Why is he here? Because he has experience?" She looked at the jury.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The session ended. Craig quickly ran to Gemini. "Gem, what happened there?" He held Gem's teary face in his hands. "Why was my step-mother's past so horrible. She held that all and tried her best to survive. She survived but she used the wrong strategy."
Craig pulled her into his arms and hugged her. "It isn't her fault. The environment she grew up in wasn't great either." He patted her head. "The judge and jury didn't even care. All they think about is money."
Craig watched as Leonora was brought away from the court room. He noticed a smile on her distressed face. It was not an angry or aggravated smile. She looked at them, closed her eyes and bowed her head.
After that, she followed the officers. The smile was a smile of gratitude to the both of them. A thanks to Craig for caring and a gratefulness to Gem for not telling everything.
Craig started crying a little. His parents were always happy when something good happened, sad when something sad happened. They had grown together into old age and died. They were people who understood.
When he didn't want to do his homework, his mother would find a way to quickly finish it. When he was sick, his father will make activities he could do while resting in bed.
"We got to explain to your sister about her mum. We can't just pretend." Mr Pisces walked towards them. "...why are you crying, Gem?" He asked her noticing the tears.
"I-I feel guilty about what happened. It wasn't my fault I agreed to testify against her. It wasn't her fault she grew up in the wrong environment. It wasn't our faults for becoming like this." She cried more.
"...Boy, since she trusts you more than me, please take care of her. Please help her recuperate at wherever you stay. I will be staying with her little sister for now. You're a young adult. You will know."
Her father patted her head and gave Craig the spare house keys. "For Gemini to get her things. She's asleep, I think." He walked away. Craig hurriedly checked Gem's face. Yes, she was asleep.
"I'll have to explain to Herman about this." He carried Gemini and walked to the parking lot. After reaching his car, he placed Gemini in the passenger seat and buckled her up. He planted a small kiss on her forehead and closed the door.
