In the drown of despair (chapter 30)

it was killing me that I didn't have Holly by my side and my daughter was resenting me for making her a laughing stock at her school there were calling her all sorts of names saying no wonder there so rich her dad is a criminal she even refused to see me in jail I tried telling her that I was doing this to get get a new mother and that I was in love but she couldn't understand

life here had become unbearable I was tortured and beaten up all day and every day with sole aim of making me confess where holly was saying u must have her in captivity some where in one of many whare houses and my answer was always the same how could hurt someone I love and want by my side for the rest of my days I loved holly and giving up on her wasn't an option I cried every day in pain

cause I knew holly loved me and couldn't bear seeing me in pain and that only reason she wasn't here was because she didn't know that I was in jail and was avoiding me being distant there was secret she was hiding and that secret was keeping her away from me I was literally dead from inside without her it was coming to my. tenth month in the slama with no sign of holly ever coming to see me may be I had to except she was never in love with me and forced myself on to her....

so I accepted a crime I didn't commit sexual assault and the murder of miss holly von hiest in my very last attempt to draw holly out of hiding even if it took my death to see my love I was ready to see it through .

the next day was my trial it would be broadcasted all over the news channels if I was convicted it would be the death penalty because assault and kindap resulting into death of woman was crime punished by death

I would be loosing my life and my family and leaving my daughter without a father my only hope was to prove my innocence

the following day I was picked up from my cell by the guard it was day of my trial and I knew I was gone right from get go going to trial worried me I was single father who would take care of my baby once I was convicted I was all she had cause he lost her mother and once I was in jail she would lose her dad making her like an ophan the reducible of her friends would kill her but the only one who would save me was holly and no one who she was not here I was left at the mercy of these Horrid monsters

Dragged out of my cell almost lifeless due the punishment I had endured I thought of seeing holly again made endure it all she was my love and if it took my death to see her I would do it without question cause she was my love and I was obsessed there was no way I would accept defeat forcing me to my feet the guard shoved me behind the police car and shut the door behind me before the long drive to the court were I was to be judged and if worse comes to worst killed like I said no price was too high for me cause I loved holly

We finally reach the entrance of court house and a swarm of reporters surrounded me calling me a rapist and murder asking if enjoyed torturing women and I deserve death my mum miss Alison Clemons including family and friends tried defending my name but protesters kept throwing stones one hit me and I was rushed inside where my lawyer awaited to defend and hopefully get me acquainted

Soon the judge came in the court could begin

"How does the accused plea." the judge asked me

"Am innocent my lord." I say meaning every word

"The prosecution calls Mrs von heist to the stand ,do you swear to say the truth and nothing but the truth ."

"I do ." Mrs Von Heist replies

"Is true that mr Clemons here was working with your daughter ?" the prosecutor asked

"Yes he was ."

"And during that time did he mistreat your daughter by making un wanted sexual advances towards her forcing her to leave her job cause of harassment."

"Objection my lord my client loved holly he wouldn't force himself on her Thomas my lawyer said defending me."

Objection over ruled Mrs Von heist answer the question

"Yes he mistreated over working her because she refused his advances That's when he began touching my daughter and at one time forcefully kissed my daughter forcing me to slap him it happened in his office ." Mrs von heist explains

"So you see my lord this open and shut case a man who can't control himself, is danger to society I request that this court hears the heart the of a pained mother and sentence this man to death." the prosecutor declared making his case

"No the defense has something to add they say my client killed there daughter after raping her but young lady body is not yet found yet and if my client killed her do you think he would give up so easily ,he would try and hide the crime officers had been sent my client home not only did they fail to get a murder weapon Nor did get the body and having one witness who is mother of the deceased is no evidence so I demanded that prosecutor brings more witnesses or we close the case ."Thomas my lawyer explained

You want witnesses I have several and one by one they stood incriminating me saying I was rude and heartless boss who used women and dumped them and if I hated them I would kill them with over 10 witnesses testimonies the judge declared me guilty and I was to be hanged in the morning I hopped that good lord could save me before morning cause my daughter wouldn't survive as a double orphan she needs me but my fate was sealed if holly didn't show up I would die leaving my daughter without a father I couldn't bear it if she suffered
