Today is the day I testify against Madame. The past month have been like a dream come true and I have been constantly pinching myself to remind myself its a reality. After we left the Motel,I was led to a very secluded house where I found Andrew. We have been living there these past month as we prepare for trial. Our contact to the outside world was cut off. Days passed off quickly  as most of the time was spent with us being interrogated and being prepared for court. A mock trial was done every three days just to prepare me
I got to know my weak spots and how to answer questions that could be asked with the defendant. None of us wanted to take chances and let Madame walk out free. We couldn't afford any mistakes.
Today I am wearing a purple dress. Its neither hugging nor loose. Mia says it brings out my soft nature. I personally don't see any difference.
The papparazi are flooding outside the court. As we drive in,Misha reminds me to reply their ever question with 'no comment'  and avoid Madame. As I step out the car,I am met with flashing cameras and loud questions.  I obediently put my head down and reply occasionally with a 'no comment'. Misha saves me from the "wolves" and we rush into their court. No media is allowed in so at the hallway is just me,Andrew,Misha and our lawyer. Before I enjoy my new found peace, I see Hunters and Madame and unfamiliar man walking in.
Gosh! Hunters is as beautiful as ever. He looks healthy and relaxed. My heart beats fast with yearning at the sight of him. I never realised just how much I missed him till I saw him. Did he miss me to?even a tiny bit? He walks paste and doesn't even acknowledge me. I feel hurt and tears well in my eyes.Madame snees at me first before following him into the court room. He never missed me!he never loved me at all! All those words and promises were just for nothing? How could his heart turn cold so fast?
"Edna ,you okay?" Andrew concerned voice brings me back,I give him a weak smile and together we enter the courtroom.

       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The trial went as expected, the defendant was keen on making the jury believe I am just a scorned woman out for revenge. Madame's new face also didn't help,when I described her and a sketch was drawn out,the difference was just too big to ignore. All thanks to her surgeries. After two hour, the court was adjourned for tomorrow. Outside the court, the paparazzi didn't spare me, luckily Misha took me away fast. The day Ended with a shocking news; Madame has been kidnapped from her house!!.
