1. Present: The Verdict and Character Assassination

LONDON

"Please Riahh.." Misty whimpered, refusing to release her lawyer's hands.

"Can't you understand !! I can't live without my son." Misty yelled on the top of her voice, taking Riah by shock as she never witnessed Misty Milton as anything but a docile mother.

" Misty... look I am a public lawyer, and I really can't help when your own son refused to be with you."Riah tried to pry Misty hands off her.

By now they had gathered quite a lot of crowd in Advocate office, who were curious as to why a poor girl with tattered attire was shouting on state's known Advocate and public worker, Riah Reubok who apparently worked for women rights and justice.

" You promised me Riah.
You sweared to stand by my side" Misty asked her in defeat. Her eyes couldn't see Riahh clearly due to tears.

"How can you do this to me!!
My son, he is just five. Riah please...please help me" Misty knees buckled making her fall on floor.

"I will give all my savings, all my money and even my life Riah.
I will be your slave for life, but please help me get my son!!'
She held Riah's legs, making the other woman roll her eyes.

'Guards!! Please help.. get this crazy woman away from me'
Two bulky man from outside the office rushed inside.

"Please don't do this Riah! You promised me." Misty's voice was strained due to constant justification at court and media, because of Ray's statement.

Was it really her son...her Ray who said all that?

Riah held Misty's shoulders and pulled her up so that they were face to face.

"What can I do when your own son refuses to stay with you huh?
It's your own so called son who witnessed against you Misty.
And you know what...I completely understand him.
I mean why would he want to stay with a mother like you! When he could get every luxury in this world by being with his father..Mr Aron Reuben. " Riah reflected Misty's poor status like a mirror and snickered in a taunting voice.

" Oh come on Misty..face it...You are a waitress who lives her life on tips for serving people.
Could you provide your son with all the luxuries that Mr. Reuben can ?
Plus your own son! He hates you and himself told everyone how you abuse him.
Now what can I do huh?
Throw this damn woman out and never ever let her in.'
She instructed them all the while sanitizing her hands .

Was she the same person who consoled you once? - Misty's mind mocked her as the guards held her arms.

Misty soon found herself on street side...all alone. Her body couldn't hold her weight anymore as she sat by roadside after being thrown by the guards.

So, she just kept sitting there, staring at her broken shoes.
Misty's old shoes insole was torn apart long ago, leaving her feet to feel the rough surface of outsole and occasion brunt from sharp objects as she walked.

Misty let out a bitter chuckle as her tears seeped all the way down to her tshirt through neckline. She hugged herself tightly as her body shook...unable to keep in all the pain and heartbreak she had gone through.

Was she being selfish to want her own child ?

Only God knew Misty never raised her hand on him.
Ray was her life, her heartbeat, her everything then how could she hurt him! Her own son?
How could she abuse him!!

Does an abused beaten up kid look like a chubby extrovert kid like my little Ray?
The answer is No.
They didn't even showed medical reports at court. - Misty's mind kept racing with thoughts of why it all happened soon she came to conclusion...All of them were sold.
