A Love So True

Chapter 49

The courtroom erupted into a mixture of shock, anger, and murmurs. People whispered to each other, their faces filled with disgust.

"How could she manipulate a child like that?"

"Unbelievable!"

Shubman's eyes turned dark, his jaw clenched in rage. His fists tightened, veins bulging on his forehead. He casted his sinister gaze at Eshana. If looks could kill, Eshana would be dead.

"That woman...," Shubman growled under his breath, his anger boiling over.

First, she abandons our newborn, and now she manipulates Ivan...?

Ishan held Ivan tightly, his eyes blazing with anger and protectiveness. He glared at Eshana, his heart heavy with determination.

I'll never let you come near my child.No matter what it takes.

Ishan silently vowed.

Ivan's tiny body trembled in Ishan's arms, his eyes welling up with tears. Ivan tightly wrapped his arms around Ishan's neck. Ishan felt his child was holding him like life saving straw. Ishan's heart ached, knowing the little one had endured so much. How could Eshana drag Ivan in her dirty games , she gave birth to this child. Didn't she has slightest love for the child?

Eshana's eyes darted around the courtroom, fear creeping onto her face. She frantically dialed a number on her phone, the phone rang but the person didn't answer. Her hands trembled, yet arrogance still lingered on her face.

She locked eyes with Nehal, who sat in the audience bench, his expression stern. Eshana signaled him to come over, but Nehal turned away, leaving her desperate.

Eshana's eyes widened, realization dawning on her. She had fallen into her own trap, and everyone had abandoned her. She couldn't understand what to do now?

The judge's deep voice boomed through the courtroom,

"Eshana Kishan , please take the witness stand."

Eshana's face paled, her eyes flashing with panic. She reluctantly rose from her seat, her heels clicking on the floor as she made her way to the stand.

Shubman's gaze never left Eshana, his anger simmering.
Ishan's grip on Ivan tightened, a silent promise to protect him at all costs.

" I'll kill her ."

Shahneel gritted out the words . Mr Gill grabbed his daughter wrist and whispered ,

" Neel , don't act reckless. Let the court do their work. Sit still."

Shahneel huffed and sat down.

The judge's expression turned stern,

"Eshana, it seems you have some explaining to do."

Eshana's voice trembled,

"I... I don't know what Ivan is talking about."

Shubman's lawyer raised an eyebrow,

"Really? We'll see about that."

The senior lawyer signaled the junior lawyer who nodded in agreement and went near Eshana.

The junior lawyer leaned forward, his eyes narrowing.

"Eshana Kishan , Ivan has made some serious allegations against you. Care to explain?"

Eshana's voice trembled,

"I... I don't know what Ivan is talking about, Your Honor."

The junior lawyer's expression turned skeptical.
