When He Said I Do

Chapter 5

Just a little not before I start this chapter... all other chapters will be written in Shawn's POV until now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The day after Kara's lie detector test I just couldn't help myself from asking her multiple questions about the murder. She still did not have an alibi, and because of that, she is now a prime suspect for the murder.

After her lie detector results had come back around 5 or so I had to tell her the results, no matter what her reaction although it hadn't been a pleasant one.

She had called me a "bitch" and a "lying douche-bag". Which were all quite common in cases like these.

<<ON THE STAND>>

FERN'S POV

As I was sitting down in the court room I knew it wouldn't be long before I had to go and testify although I had NO I des who I was testifying against. This thought killed me to not on a single suspect for the man that was going to be my husband.

Nobody had any right to kill him, or any need to. He was a pretty self-righteous man whenever he wanted to be.

Whenever I got up onto that stand I had to retell my night, oh that horrible night! I would never be able to love myself the way I had before after that night. I feel like I could never trust anybody again, and I felt like I was totally allowed to have that feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I start to hear something out of the edges of my mind and realize that the judge is calling my name, "Mrs. Goldenberg, Mrs. Goldenberg."

It was time to go retell my story. I went and did the oath you know I solemnly swear that I shall not tell a lie and shit like that. I don't even realize why they tell people to do that fucking oath! I mean half the people that get on the stand tell lies the entire time their up there. I would know since I watch a lot of 'Judge Judy'.

Anytime somebody came up to me today I thought I was going to shout at them because of everything that was going on. I couldn't even say one word without bursting into tears, and I was surprised I was able to say that oath. I had been having a lot of mental stability and depression issues since the murder. People don't realize that having an affair can also be two people in love!

I start to retell the story as I have tried to push it back down everyday when I have nightmares recalling the incident. All right, here goes nothing, "the night started out like a usual night when Kara was out of town. Jerry called me over and we had a lovely dinner that he had prepared for the two of us," I started.

"We started to get into the swing of things and started flirting and talking dirty to each other, and soon found our way to his bedroom," I said. "All of my instincts had told me it was wrong while my heart, body, and soul told me everything was perfect although I had this lingering feeling in my gut," I left off with.

I skipped the part about intercourse because what court room would want to hear about that? So I started talking about afterwards. "Once we were through for the night I went to the bathroom to get cleaned up and ready to go home. I would have succeeded in this had I not felt someone come up behind me," I told. "I obviously thought it was Jerry and thought that he had been coming back to bid me goodbye for the night." I didn't happen to mention the fact that I'd tried to seduce 'him' for the second time of the night, but I refused to show once again 'him' my face just to have a little fun with him.

I stated again, "I slowly felt arms around me, and that's when I realized it WAS NOT Jerry. I realized this when the arms that crept around my neck were feminine, and that's when it all went dark," that's whenever I stopped; however, I don't think I could've been strangled and I didn't have any bumps on my head so it obviously had to have been an injection of some sort because I had felt a slight pinch when her arms had come around me. I must have been drugged.
