Telling So, Please Listen

History.

Maria Pov.

Now that this person is finally revealed, I regret every second of my past. I knew that it would come back to hunt me, but I also had to do what was right for me and my future. Money and greed is the motive behind this?

Honestly, I regret not giving my brother a position at my company, only because this happened to my one and only child. Why her? Why not me? I am the guilty one. He always said he would get me back from " leaving him out in the cold ". I never thought he would do this. I haven't seen him in over 15 years, but he has managed to see my daughter, stalk her, and .... rape. I would give anything to redo the past to keep her safe. When I saw my brother in those cuffs, every bit of anger in me, released. I want to get justice for my daughter, and that is all.

" Okay, you ready? " Tj asked Mariah as he helped her put on her cardigan.

"I have no choice but to be ready." She looked down at her feet and then looked at me.
" let's go". We all got into the car, we just sat in silence as I drove to court.

We arrived at court and there were news stations and photographers there yelling at us, at my poor child.

" Mariah tell us what happened ! "
" Mariah why didn't you tell anyone ?!"
"Maria where were you when this happened ? "
" Should child service be involved ?!"

We rushed into the court trying to get away.. this just started and I already want it to be over. I looked at Mariah, her eyes looked so sad and I blame myself.  It is my fault. 

I was nervous, we had this in the bag, but I know for sure they're going to question my parenting.
