CHAPTER 85: The Final Hearing

  Scarlett's POV

  I came back to the courthouse after the short break period. Everyone was back in their seats. Ms Kelly and Mr Norton - Raphael's lawyer, were seated and waiting patiently for the panel to announce their verdict.

  The panel passed a paper to the judge who wore her specs and analysed the words like it was a sheet of norse codes.

  "Well, the jury had decided to give the mother of the child - Scarlett - full custody of her child and will be receiving the monthly sum of 2106$ as monthly alimony from her ex-husband - Raphael Thorne - until the child Aria turns 18 years and one day old." The judge stamped the papers as I looked at them with glowing, disbelief-filled eyes.

  It was over.

  It was finally over...

  A part of the crowd got up to leave.

  As I was walking out with Aria and Ms Kelly, I was greeted by numerous people trying to congratulate me.

  As much as I appreciated their greeting, I was too lost in my thoughts to comprehend anything.
