SENTENCE

Here comes the Friday, judgement day for Julie and Alfred. After a lot of defense, both were sentenced to be jailed for ten years. Julie's father was charged with corruption too, so he was fined and jailed for five years too.

Ella had her way, she had destroyed their life the way they planned to do to hers. She thought it would be a lesson to those that always want to harm and hurt other people.

Jessica couldn't hold back her tears as she watched her mom being dragged away. Where was she going to start from now?

Ella and Vivian steps out of the court room, heading back home when they found Jessica leaning on their car, maybe waiting for them.

"How can we help you?" Vivian asks as they move close to the car with a very annoyed look.

"I will like to have a conversation with Ella, ma."

At first Vivian wasn't planning to allow that, but Ella gave her a facial expression begging her to allow them have the conversation.

"I am giving you just 5 minutes." Vivian says and moves a bit away from them but still watching them closely. "Like mother like daughter, both ruthless and very thoughtless." She murmurs.

"What do you have to say?"

"Are you satisfied now?" Jessica asks bitterly.

"Satisfied about what?" Ella asks too.

"Ruining my mother's life."

"Oh that!" Ella exclaims and smiles. "I am a bit satisfied."

Jessica and Ella spoke quietly that Vivian couldn't hear whatever they were saying. "What are they talking about?" Vivian asks worried.

"You surely have no conscience."

"Yes I don't, I accept. But I am way better than your mother who told one of my teachers to forcefully go down with me in the school premises and was planning to make videos of me."

Those words hit Jessica, she knew what her mother did was wrong. But what can she do, she still have to take her mother's side no matter what. "I already apologized about that, why didn't you just let it go?"

"Are you stupid? Apology? Yes you did apologize but your mother didn't. Even if she did, I won't accept her apology. Do you know the weight of what she tried to do? If she had uploaded that video what would happen to me?" Ella says angrily with a quite loud voice that Vivian could hear clearly.

"Okay, time up." Vivian cuts in and walks close to them. "You have said enough." She faces Ella. "Let's go home."

"I will come back for both of you." Jessica whispers. "I promise you, words can't explain the pain I feel right now, but I promise to make you feel that pain too."

Smack!!!! Ella gives her a very hot slap. "Shut your trap you useless fool. What do you want to do to me? I wish I can make you feel the exact pain I feel now too. Don't trespass and be very careful."

Jessica holds her face with her palm and tears drops from her eyes. "Wait for me."

"Let's not listen to this nonsense anymore, let's just leave now." Vivian insists.

Ella nods and looks at Jessica again. "Be careful."

Ella and her aunt enters the car, and zooms off. Heading straight home.

Vivian didn't feel to comfortable with what Jessica said earlier. "Why would she say she would come back for us? As if her mom did nothing wrong or we framed her up."

"Don't mind her, she is just bluffing. Right now, she is so helpless."

"I know." Vivian sighs. "When Jessica grows, she is going to become a very terrifying woman that won't show no mercy to anyone who crosses path with her or messes with her."

"I am less concerned." Ella says bluntly. "She can become anything she wants in the future, but I hope and pray we never meet again. Because if we do, I will always want to deal with her."

The more terrible things Ella went through, the more she became very stone hearted. She doesn't even cry anymore, she always made one statement 'I have no more tears left to cry.'

They continue driving until they arrived home, the rest of the day went on like the normal usual day. Ella stood in the kitchen and watched her auntie cook a particular meal that she doesn't know how to prepare.

The meal was so delicious that Ella had two plates of it. She was on the second plate when her aunt spoke.

"I have an outing tomorrow."

"Okay." Ella nods and didn't take her eyes off the food.

"Make sure you read, you know your exams are starting next Monday."

"I am aware." Ella says and continues eating.

Vivian looks at her adorable baby girl and begged God to spare her all these problems she has been facing of recent, it's just too much for a her age. "Will you invite your friends over tomorrow? Or would you rather go over to one of their houses?"

"No, I don't want to do that now. After the exams would be good."

"I have a boyfriend now." Vivian says and Ella stops eating, directing her eyes at her. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Vivian asks shyly.

"Finally!!!!!" Ella exclaims with a smile. "I can't wait to meet him."

The angel can't wait to meet the devil that was after her life...
