The hearing

Last night was the worst and at same time the best night of our lives !

Worst because, we almost lost Ash because of the stupidity of Jules.

And best because, we proposed her and she said yes to getting married to us !

It would be the out of the world wedding we are going to have.

One bride and five grooms !

I am very excited about our marriage.

We all already had discussed that, we don't have any problem she being our bride, just Jules had a problem which Cole solved forever !

I must say, Cole have beaten him so much ! Actually he deserved it, but he is our friend and I don't like any of my friends getting hurt.

We decided a few things.

And among them, the most highlighted rule was, not to touch her no matter what if, any one of her other husbands is present there as well !

No husband would accept anyone else touching his wife !

Because whatever storm we HAD yesterday, was because of jealousy.

And I am sure though, we are ok with having her as OUR wife, but we do get jealous to see anyone of the guys touching her !

She called Rachel and asked her to visit her along with Pavel.

She told her she has a surprise for her and she is sure her Mom would definitely love it !

But we'll have to wait for the surprise to come to life as, we have something more important to deal with first; Alex Grayson !

I talked with the guys and we decided to call Rachel again and tell her she needs to come here so that, we could take care of Alex.

Though, Jules isn't hurt that much, but he isn't in the condition to judge of the case as, we'll handle the case in his court room and I'll be Rachel and Ashley's lawyer !

So, we called her and told her to come with Pavel and she might need to stay here for a long time, as Jules isn't healthy and once he is ready, the case would take longer to reach to some conclusion, as Alex Grayson isn't some road side begger !

He have his power and sources so, it won't be easy to conclude the case soon.

Though, I am sure we'll win the case as we have all the required evidences against him; but he'll try to dig some nonsense things.

Ashley have denied the entrance in her room to all of us till the wedding.

But we all know she won't be constant on what she said !

We've seen her loose her mind when, we didn't touched her when she was injured, only for three months.

And now we don't know when Jules would be healthy and ready to join the court ?

When the case will start ?

When will it reach to a conclusion ?

And when will we decide to get married ?

It's gonna take a while and I am sure she won't last that long without us !

She is literally addicted to us and so are we !

But we HAVE controlled ourselves from touching her when, she was hurt.

Neither of us touched her for whole three months as Doc told us, her injury might get worst if, her stomach clenched for whatsoever reason !

And we aren't that stupid not to get that, he was trying to say in a very sophisticated way,

'Don't fuck her, till her injuries get better' !

So, we can be sane and wait for her to loose her mind !

I loved her when, she had lost it.

She was so aggressive and needed me, biting and scratching me if, I slowed down or tried to tease her a bit, after she got better and I gave her, her 'Dose' of drug !

I would love to see her that aggressive again !

Rachel and Pavel came and Ash told them about getting married to all of us.

And surprisingly, Rachel was very happy for her daughter, as she told her she would be.

Even Pavel was very happy for his beloved stepdaughter.

They told us that, they were thinking that something like this was going happen when, they saw us going crazy when she was hurt.

As we were ready to go to any extent to save her !

Jules was recovering very well as his would be mother-in-law was taking good care of him.

And mean while, we decided to file a legal complaint against Alex Grayson for clearing his criminal records along with his son, forcefully keeping his daughter from meeting her mother, cheating on his wife, abusing his wife for a forceful divorce against her will, letting his own son abuse and rape his own daughter and not opposing it; even though he knew about it and many more minute charges.

We gave him time to find himself a lawyer who would try to save him from me and getting some time for Jules to recover so that, by the time the case is filed lawfully, Jules would be ready to take care of it and we won't have to waste anymore time !

No one can save Alex Grayson now from paying back for what have he done !

We all are together against him !

Cole Miller, the Cop who filed the charges against him.

Derek Cooper, the Detective who gathered the evidences against him.

Dominic Allen, the Doctor who confirmed that, Ashley Grayson was raped by Michael Grayson repetitively when, she was admitted in his hospital.

Lauren Baker, the Lawyer hired by Rachel and Ashley Grayson.

Jules Ford, the main Judge for the case against him !

Within two weeks, office order to present in the court room whenever called, was delivered to Alex and from the next week the case started.

Alex hired the well known Lawyer in his defence, Charlie Brown !

He has very good reputation and he have hardly one or two lost cases.

I am a bit nervous, but we stand by the truth and we have all the evidences and I have my friends by my side and most importantly, Ashley !

They boost my confidence and I am sure, we will win !

" Introduce yourselves ! "

Jules said professionally in the court.

" I am Charlie Brown.

Lawyer of Mr. Alex Grayson. "

Charlie said professionally.

" I am Lauren Baker.

Lawyer of Miss. Ashley Grayson, daughter of Mr. Alex Grayson and Mrs. Arina Petrov, ex wife of Mr. Alex Grayson. "

I introduced myself.

" Mr. Baker, Explain the case to the court. "

Jules said.

" Your honour, Mr. Grayson's ex wife and daughter have filed complaint against him for various reasons.

Namely...

Letting his own - his biological son abuse and rape his own - his biological daughter when, he was aware of it.

Seperate a daughter from her mother.

Abuse his wife for forcing a divorce so that, he can marry his ex girlfriend; his late son's biological mother.

And other than that, the Cops found some of the illegal doings of Mr. Grayson, as clearing his past criminal records along with his late son.

Trying to destroy the domestic violence case filed by then, Mrs. Rachel Grayson against her husband.

So, these charges are filed against him. "

I explained to the court.

" Ok.

Mr. Brown, what do you have do to say ? "

Jules asked him.

" These all are false allegations against my client, your honour !

None of them are true.

It's a planned action against my client to defame him and make his character questionable, as the elections are due in few months, so that he'd loose it ! "

Charlie said in his defence.

" Mr. Baker ? "

Jules asked me.

" That's so not true, your honour ! "

I said.

" Ok fine !

We'll accept that according to you, these all charges are true.

Then Mr. Baker, would you like to explain to the court if, Mrs. Then Rachel Grayson faced the domestic violence back then; then why didn't she asked for the justice then ?

What was she waiting for ? "

Charlie asked.

" With due respect, your honour, Mr. Brown need to pay complete attention in the court room.

When I explained the case to the court, I mentioned the destruction of the case of domestic violence against him ! "

I said.

" So ? "

Charlie said.

" So, for you to DESTROY something, that thing need to EXIST in the first place, doesn't it ?

Mrs. Grayson had filed complaint against him back then, but the Cops didn't helped her !

Mr. Grayson was a big politician back then, he used... "

I was explaining the situation but he interrupted.

" What do you mean ?

He isn't a big politician now ? "

Charlie said some useless thing.

" Let me finish, Mr. Brown.

Yes ofcourse he still is, no doubt about it.

But back then, he had the support of Tyler Peterson !

Heard this name before Mr. Grayson ? "

I asked him.

" Objection, your honour !

Mr. Baker can't talk directly to my client before he is presented for the questioning !

He needs to go through me."

Charlie objected.

" Sustained.

Mr. Baker, talk to Mr. Brown first. "

Jules said not being biased.

" I am sorry, your honour.

So, Tyler Peterson, a mafia who had the Cops shaking with mere his name... "

I was clarifying his image but he again interrupted.

" What's your point, Mr. Baker ?

Come to the point ! "

Charlie said.

" Your honour, will Mr. Brown ever let me finish first ? "

I said.

" Mr. Brown, talk only when it's your turn or you have any objection.

You can't question your opponent in mid-way of his words. "

Jules said.

" Sorry, your honour.

I was just trying to ask him, what he intends to say and nothing else. "

Charlie said.

" He is doing the same thing, Mr. Brown, but you aren't letting him finish first ! "

Jules said.

" I am sorry, your honour. "

Charlie apologized.

" Continue, Mr. Baker. "

Jules said.

" Thank you, your honour.

So, the mafia Tyler Peterson happens to be the brother of Mr. Grayson's second wife, Ms. Marry Peterson... "

I was explaining to the court and he again interrupted.

" Objection, your honour.

Mr. Baker can't just link my client with anyone without any proof ! "

Charlie said startled at the connection.

Marry's family background wasn't limelight thing so, he didn't expected us to know about it.

" Sustained.

Mr. Baker, do you have any proof to prove what you are saying is true ? "

Jules said.

" Yes, your honour.

I have many family photos of Tyler Peterson and in each of the photos, Mrs. Marry is present with him along with her son, Michael ! "

I said.

" Objection, your honour !

Mere a photograph can't prove that they are biologically related ! "

Charlie objected.

" Sustained.

Mr. Baker. "

" I have the DNA report of Mrs. Marry and Tyler Peterson !

That proves that they are biologically related !

And for being biologically related, one must be either the parents-child or siblings !

Is it enough to prove that, they are related or do I need to submit more evidences for that, Mr. Brown ? "

I said sarcastically.

" No need.

You may proceed, Mr. Baker. "

Jules said.

" Thank you, your honour !

Many of the cases were removed from the account of Mr. Grayson and his late son with the terror of Tyler Peterson.

And one of them is the case of domestic violence against him !

Mr. Grayson used to beat and hurt his ex wife so that, she would give him divorce and he could marry his girlfriend and give his name to his son.

Because Tyler blackmailed Mr. Grayson to hurt him and his daughter, whom he loved the most BACK THEN. "

I said putting weight on the words back then as he doesn't anymore.

" Objection your honour !

What is Mr. Baker trying to say ?

Mr. Grayson STILL loves his daughter the most ! "

Charlie said firmly.

" Your honour, no father loving his child let's his one child abuse the other; sexually and moreover, let it happen even if, he is aware of that ! "

I said.

" Overruled !

Mr. Baker, you may proceed. "

" Thank you, your honour.

Michael, Mr. Grayson's son...

Late son... "

I said correcting myself.

" I won't ever forgive anyone !

You bastards killed my son !

You son of a bitch.

I'll sue you for... "

Alex cursed loosing his temper.

" Mr. Brown, control your client.

He can't use such kind of objectionable language in the court room !

Neither can he speek unless called for questioning !

Next time he speaks without permission, he'll be charged with fine. "

Jules said.

" I am sorry, your honour.

Mr. Grayson, stop it.

You will be given the chance to speak and then you can speek, now shut up ! "

Charlie said irritated with him.

" But my son... "

Alex tried to oppose.

" Mr. Grayson, I can understand your feelings.

But the son you are talking about and who got killed, he had many objectionable cases against him of eve teasing, raping his own sister over and over again, trying to kill her many times, attacking her for her property ! "

I said enlisting his crimes.

" Objection, your honour !

Mr. Baker needs to submit proof against everything he is accusing my client's son and him as well ! "

Charlie said.

" Sustained.

Mr. Baker, submit the evidences if, any or stop false accusing against them. "

Jules said.

I am wondering how in the hell is he keeping a straight face ?

He knows we have everything and Charlie is gonna fall on face and yet, he isn't seeming to try hiding his laugh or even smile !

" I do have the evidences against both of them, your honour. "

I submitted the lab report of Ash of she getting raped and the DNA report of the rapist; Michael !

" But your honour, the proofs Mr. Baker have submitted don't proves that, Michael have attacked or tried to kill his sister ! "

Charlie said changing the allegations to which he thought I won't have proof of.

" Mr. Baker, do you have any proof which can prove that Michael had attacked or tried to kill Miss. Grayson ?

Submit, if any. "

Jules said.

I submitted the edited CCTV footage from Pavel's house, in which he had held Ash hostage at gun point and admitted that, he wants her property and he had prepared the documents that would transfer all of her property to him once she is dead.

Derek had it edited and removed all the parts which would create suspection about the reality of who killed him !

" I would like to call Mr. Grayson for the questioning, with your permission your honour. "

I asked for the permission.

" Permission granted. "

" Mr. Grayson, let's start with Mrs Rachel.

Do you accept that, you have hurted and abused your wife as you wanted divorce and she wasn't ready to agree to it ? "

I asked.

" No.

I deny. "

Alex said.

" Your honour, I would like to call Mrs. Rachel in the witness box, with your permission. "

I said.

" Permission granted. "

" Thank you, your honour.

So, Mrs. Rachel is it true that, your husband abused you and physically hurted you for the divorce he wanted ? "

I asked.

" Yes, your honour.

It's true.

He have physically and mentally torched me so that, I would agree to sign the divorce papers and he could marry his girlfriend who had a son ! "

Rachel said.

" What about having a son ?

It wasn't necessary to mention, Mrs. Rachel. "

I said as we had planned.

" It was, your honour !

Everyone knew he wanted a son who would take over his reigns.

I had a daughter.

I suggested him we could take chance for another baby, but he denied and started torching me.

And eventually asked me to divorce him.

When I denied, he increased his torcher towards me.

He threatened me to hurt my daughter if, I won't listen to him.

But I knew, he won't hurt her because he had introduced her infront of media !

And as his torcher increased, I moved out of his house ! "

Rachel told what had happened.

" I would like to question her with your permission, your honour. "

Charlie said.

" Permission granted. "

" Mrs. Rachel, why did you allow him to torcher you ?

Why didn't you gave him divorce if, you were that fed up of his torcher ? "

Charlie asked.

" Because he denied any alimony for me post divorce and keeping my daughter's custody.

And I didn't wanted that to happen.

I couldn't leave my daughter in a man's hand, who threatened me to hurt her if, he didn't get what he wanted.

He was that cruel infront of me, I couldn't even imagine what he would have done to my daughter in my absence ! "

Rachel said.

" But didn't you just mentioned, you knew he won't hurt her as he had introduced her infront of the media ?

Then, why would he have hurted his beloved daughter ? "

Charlie asked.

" She wasn't his beloved daughter !

He only loves money and nothing else.

He never loved her.

He used to taunt her everyday that, he wished he had a son instead of a daughter who might defame him someday !

And that thing, my innocent daughter held to her heart and always behaved as her father wanted and never doing anything which might defame him, ever !

And that's the only reason she didn't filled complaint against her father yet, no matter how bad he treated her... "

Rachel said.

" I will take on from here with your permission your honour. "

I said.

" Permission granted. "

I had told her not to talk anything behalf of her daughter, yet she said !

" Don't talk for your daughter, Mrs. Rachel.

I am sure she can talk !

So, Mr. Grayson do you deny whatever your ex wife said against you ? "

I asked him.

" Um...

I...

I...

Don't...

I mean...

Um... I..."

Alex was mumbled.

" Your honour, do Mr. Baker have any proof... "

" I do, your honour !

I have few witnesses.

I would like to call them in the witness box, with your permission. "

I said.

" Permission granted. "

We called all the servants who loved Ash as their own child and wanted to help her: but she never made a move against her father so they couldn't do anything then.

But now they can; and they did !

They presented their testimony against Alex, how he never treated her as his own daughter, how he let Michael do whatever he wanted and enjoyed doing with her.

And when, they tried to inform him about Michael abusing Ash; that fucking bastard suggested them to SHARE her along with Michael if, they wanted !

We didn't know that !

And that made everyone of us almost jump out of our skin.

But we controlled ourselves, we couldn't act emotionally and let everyone know that we are close to her.

The servants even declared whatever Rachel said was all true.

He was clearly loosing this case and I already knew that so, it wasn't surprising at all.

" On what basis can you say he have hurted his wife for getting the divorce papers signed ?

She could lie ! "

Charlie said.

" Ofcourse, she could.

But she didn't !

And I have proof to prove that. "

I submitted the blood stained divorce paper and the the copy of the paper he submitted to the family court.

And the report of the blood stains form the mop confirming the blood was of Rachel on the papers.

The date on the blood stained paper and the paper submitted to the family court was same, proving that, Alex had decided to hurt her if, she denied and that's why he had an extra copy with him; with already date printed over it !

" Objection, your honour !

Having an extra copy of the papers with the date printed doesn't prove he had intended to hurt her, in anyway possible !

He knew she won't sign the papers.

He thought what if, she tore the copy ?

And that's why he had an extra copy !

You need to do better than that, Mr. Baker to prove him guilty. "

Charlie said almost teasing me !

How dare he ?

" Sustained.

Mr. Baker ? "

" Yes, he might have thought she would tear the paper he brought.

But what if, she had torned the other copy as well ?

He thought if, she tore the copy, he would hurt her as he have always done and get the second copy signed !

Your honour when, the Detective found the blood stained papers and the mop in the bathroom, he immediately sent them for the forensic test.

And the reports clearly says that, the date of the accident when the papers got stained, is the previous night of when Mr. Grayson submitted the papers in the family court !

It does proves that, Mr. Grayson had the papers ready, because he knew what was he gonna do.

Your honour, I have submitted the xerox copy of the stained papers and the submitted papers in the family court.

I would request you to look at them carefully and I am sure you will notice the difference in it ! "

I said handing court the copy.

He acted as if he was looking at them for the first time.

And after some time he acted as if, he discovered the difference !

" The date on both the papers is same, but on the stained papers is printed and on the submitted one is hand written. "

Jules said saying out loud to tell the court if, anyone failed to get it.

" What do it has to do with the accident, Mr. Baker ? "

Charlie asked.

" Mr. Brown, we are criminal lawyers, we don't know much about the family court cases.

But the basic things are same everywhere !

The court doesn't provide a same paper twice with the same date !

And doesn't accept a xerox or carbon or any kind of copy of any document for submission ! "

I said.

" And the point is ? "

Charlie said.

" The point is if, Mr. Grayson thought his wife won't sign the papers and he wanted her to sign them, he should have both the papers with different dates !

The rule isn't broke of not having two copies of same document with same date, but he had a blank copy and one with printed date copy and with the same date !

Your honour, this man here have committed another crime of misleading the court !

And it even raises a question that if, the submitted papers didn't had a printed date over it, how could the judge accept those papers ?

It is also a crime your honour ! "

I said.

" Do you have anything to say against it Mr. Brown ? "

Jules asked him.

" Nothing your honour. "

Charlie said.

" Ok.

Mr. Baker have you finished your side ? "

Jules asked.

" Yes, your honour. "

I said.

" Ok.

Mr. Brown, you may proceed now. "

Jules said.

" Thank you, your honour.

I would like to call Miss. Ashley Grayson for questioning, with your permission, your honour. "

Charlie said.

" Permission granted. "

I must give it to Jules.

He haven't even glanced at her since the case started.

If, I weren't a lawyer and wouldn't needed to focus on my opponent, I would never have been able to not look at her.

She was already so sacred about the court and the hearing from last night.

She came in the box and he started questioning her.

" So, Miss. Ashley do you accept that, Mr. Grayson, I mean your father never loved you ? "

Charlie asked..

" No.

He loved me when, he wasn't married to Michael's Mom.

But he always wanted me to behave according to him.

He didn't let me meet Mom, ever. "

Ashley said.

" So, you want say that, you never met your Mon since their divorce, right ? "

Charlie asked.

" No, she used to meet me at my school, as he didn't allowed her to come close to me, even though the court had permitted her to meet me once a week.

He never allowed it. "

Ashley said glaring at him.

" So, do you think your step brother have.. "

" Half brother ! "

Ashley corrected him.

" I am sorry.

Do you think your half brother, abused you and raped you ? "

Charlie asked.

" Objection, your honour !

What kind of question is this ?

She is an adult, how could he say that, does she THINKS she was abused ? "

I said.

" Sustained.

Mr. Brown, use your words properly.

It is a sensitive topic and don't forget you are talking to a lady.

Mind your tongue. "

Jules said seriously.

" I am sorry, your honour.

So, do you ACCEPT that ,your step brother...

Half brother abused you ? "

Charlie changed his word.

" Yes, he did. "

Ashley said.

" Then, you would definitely have told about it to your father ? "

Charlie asked.

" Yes, I did !

But he didn't listen to me.

He said I was hallucinating about it.

He never said anything to Michael about it and stopping it ! "

Ashley said.

" Hallucinating ?

Did you used some drugs, Miss. Ashley ? "

Charlie asked.

" No !

I never did. "

Ashley said .

" Then why would he say that ?

He isn't a stupid man.

He is the mayor of the city, why would he say such stupid and childish things, unless he might have found something about it ?

Why would he false accuse his own daughter uselessly ? "

Charlie asked.

" Objection, your honour !

Does Mr. Brown have any proof of what he is saying about my client ?

He can't just make up things about her ! "

I said.

" Sustained.

Mr. Brown ? "

" No, your honour.

I don't. "

Charlie accepted.

" Then stop putting false allegations on my client ! "

I said more seriously than I has intended.

" I am sorry your honour.

Tell me Miss. Ashley, why would he say that ? What do you think ? "

Charlie asked.

" There's nothing to think about, it's clear as cristal.

He did it because he knew what his son was doing !

And if, the news got out in media he would be defamed and that's the last thing he would allow to happen. "

Ashley said.

" How could you be this sure about this ? "

Charlie asked.

" Because, I have told him many times to ask Michael to stay away from me.

But he didn't !

Many times, Michael tried to abuse me infront of him and what he used to do was, leave the room like nothing special was happening there ! "

Ashley said disgusted with her father.

Her voice was shaking.

She was about to cry.

That was from the frustration, pain and hate.

" If that was the case, why didn't you filed complaint against him or Michael or both of them ? "

Charlie asked.

" Because he...

He didn't allowed me to go anywhere...

From home to school and school to home !

And at that time too, his men were around me all the times !

He...

Never allowed me to meet anyone...

He... "

Fuck !

She is crying.

The worst thing ?

Neither of us could go and hold her and calm her down.

Fucking Alex !

" Don't cry, Miss. Ashley.

Your crying won't make whatever you say true ! So, stop doing that. "

Charlie said ruthlessly.

" Objection, your honour !

Can Mr. Brown show a bit of humanity ?

She is so young.

Horrible things happened with her.

And the emotions can... "

I objected.

" Overruled !

Mr. Baker, court DOES show sympathy, but we can't let the emotions blend up with the truth.

Mr. Brown, you may continue. "

Jules said without any emotions.

Fuck !

What was I going to do !

Thank god Jules wasn't out of his mind.

" I am sorry, your honour. "

I apologized.

" Do you need water or a break Miss. Ashley ? "

Charlie asked.

" No, thanks. "

Ashley said.

" Good.

So, Miss. Ashley, let's consider that, he didn't let you meet anyone and didn't allowed you to go anywhere.

But if, I remember earlier you mentioned that, your Mom used to meet you.

Then why didn't you told this to your Mom and asked her to file a complaint against him and Michael, on behalf of you ? "

Charlie asked.

" My Mom tried to go to the Cops, but they always sent her away without even listening to her.

And she knew, her complaint against him of domestic violence was hidden like it never existed in the first place !

And...

He always used to taunt me for being a girl and I would someday bring him defame which a son could never...

I loved him so much and so, I didn't wanted to do anything that would bring defame for him and his saying become true ! "

Ashley said composing herself.

" Is it true that, Michael wanted your property and that's why he was abusing you so that, you would give it up for him ?

And he threatened you ? "

Charlie asked.

" Yes, it is absolutely true.

You saw the clip he held me hostage for money. He abused me and raped me again and again and he threatened me to hurt my Mom if, I didn't gave up the property my Dad gave me. "

Ashley said.

" So, didn't you thought of giving up for the sake of your life ? "

Charlie asked.

" No.

I didn't wanted to give it up, because my Mom needed money for survival.

Everywhere she went for job, she was rejected after seeing her name only !

She needed the money.

My father didn't even gave her the alimony, which she had her right on.

So, I wanted that money for my Mom. "

Ashley said.

" Then why didn't you just transferred the money in her account immediately ?

Why did you suffered for so long ? "

Charlie asked.

" Because I was underage.

I wasn't 18.

I couldn't withdrew money from my account. "

Ashley said.

" You said that, Michael threatened to hurt your Mom ? "

Charlie asked.

" Yes.

He did.

He kidnapped her and beated her so bad, she was bleeding bad.

Then, I decided to give up the money for her life's sake.

And I went to Michael to sign the papers for transfer the property to his account.

But before that, he wanted to...

Have my body one last time.

As he wasn't going to abusing me from now on.

Then, I kept a condition infront of him, to let my Mom go.

I wasn't going to sign the papers until he lets her go.

He agreed and let her go.

He then...

Raped me and I overheard the conversation between him and his men.

He was planning on making me sign the papers and let all of his men...

50 men rape me once, I signed the papers !

I was ready to give up the money, but he wanted to kill me this way and that's why, I jumped from the window and ran away.

Since then, I was looking for my Mom.

Because I knew how bad her condition was.

She was in immediate need of medical help.

But I couldn't find her. "

Ashley said on the verge of crying.

" Why didn't you go to the Cops then ?

For your Mom ? "

Charlie asked.

" I did !

And Mr. Miller and Mr. Cooper helped me finding her and it's because of them, I am with my Mom now. "

Ashley said.

" Why do you think the Cops helped you THIS time ?

According to you and your Mom, no Cop have helped you guys in past.

Then, suddenly how could they help you ? "

Charlie asked.

" May be they weren't the ones working for money !

And that's why they helped me in finding her. "

Ashley said.

" What about Michael ?

Why did your stepfather killed him ? "

Charlie asked.

" That was self defence and panic and we have seen the clip.

The Russian court have declared him innocent in that case and it is closed now ! "

Ashley said .

" No it isn't.

It will be reopened now, Miss. Ashley ! "

Charlie said.

" Objection, your honour !

Mr. Brown is talking irrelevant.

The Michael death case is long closed !

Why is it necessary to bring it up ? "

I said.

" Sustained.

Mr. Brown ? "

" Why is it irrelevant, your honour ?

The person we are talking about is one of the important person in this case then, why isn't it related ? "

Charlie asked.

" He was killed in Russia and the Russian court... "

I was explaining but he interrupted.

" Exactly !

The RUSSIAN court has accepted it was the action under self defence and they declared Pavel Petrov innocent, not OUR court ! "

Charlie said.

" Your honour, Mr. Brown is forgetting that, the decision of the court is considered as final, where the crime happened.

It doesn't matter then the criminal belonged to which country !

And anyway, his father didn't appealed against that decision. "

I said.

" But he is related to this case and what if, it is all planned ?

What if he was innocent and... "

Charlie said.

" Your honour, Michael was a criminal.

He had a criminal background.

He is found guilty in various cases which, his father cleared his name from.

And now that you said, it might have been planned then tell me something Mr. Brown if, he was that innocent then, what was he doing in Russia at Mr. Petrov's house ?

Neither he knew Mr. Petrov nor Mr. Petrov knew him !

Then what was he doing there with a gun, which wasn't even licenced !

What probably an innocent person would want to do at an unknown person's place with a without licensed gun and holding his sister hostage and telling that, he is gonna get her property once she is dead !

What exactly ?

Can you tell the court, how could he be an innocent ? "

I asked.

" Um...

He.... "

Charlie was out of words.

" Do you have anything else to say Mr. Brown ?

Or shall we draw some conclusions ? "

Jules asked.

" No your honour, I have nothing to say. "

Charlie gave up.

That was surprising !

" Good.

Now, both the sides would put their concluding words so that, the court could reach some conclusion.

Mr. Brown, you may proceed. "

Jules said.

" Your honour, my client Mr. Grayson is innocent and this all is done now to defame him and make his character questionable for the citizens as, the elections are due.

And if, that's not the case Mrs. Rachel and her daughter could have done it a long ago.

Even Mrs. Rachel was missing for more than six months from the country itself !

So, I demand to declare my client Mr. Alex Grayson innocent and charge his ex wife and daughter for defamation and dragging him this dirty.

That's all your honour ! "

Charlie said just because he had to say something.

What's wrong with him ?

He isn't like this.

" Hm.

Mr. Baker ? "

Jules asked for my concluding.

" Your honour, I have provided each and every evidence and proofs of whatever Mrs. Rachel and Miss. Ashley have charged against Mr. Grayson.

And that proves that he had allowed the abuse with his daughter, done by his own son and abusing and hurting his wife physically for getting the forced divorce.

So, I plead to the court to, think about the act of encouraging the abuse and rape, he should be charged as the rapist only.

And he shall receive the worst of the punishment for all that he done from, clearing the cases, saving his criminal son, encouraging him to sexually assault his own daughter and physically and mentally torching his wife.

He shouldn't be shown any mercy while deciding the punishment for all these things he have done.

And one thing which came along it is, he did fraud with the citizens by hiding his real self.

He should get more harsh and merciless punishment.

That's all your honour. "

I said.

" Both the sides have concluded their case.

And considering that Mr. Grayson's lawyer have failed to provide any evidence or proof of his innocence and Mrs. Rachel and her daughter's lawyer provided every single evidence against him and proving him the criminal, the court have found Mr. Grayson guilty for each and every allegations.

And keeping this in mind, the court have decided, Mr. Grayson would be fined 70% of his overall property and it shall be added to his ex wife and daughter's account as a compensation for assault.

The court also orders the Cops to seal his remaining property as it is earned by doing fraud with the public, and transfer that to government account.

And now, about the charges for which he is found guilty, the court orders that Mr. Alex Grayson is being sent for a lifetime imprisonment with penal labor.

And if, he tries to run out of the cell he would be hanged till death.

And, court denies Mr. Grayson the appeal of mercy !

The court is adjourned ! "

Jules declared.
