situation.
“ You said that he asked you to have coffee with him. Where were the children at that time?”
“They were at my mother’s places as they were getting ready for school”
“So, are you a mistress?”
I was taken aback as I was not ready to answer that question. Yes, I may be one, but I didn’t know that he was married. He didn’t wear a ring, there were no photos, I was not told.
“I view myself as one who didn’t have any idea of his personal life.”
“Judge Fletcher, we have no other questions.”
“Alright, court dismissed.” The pounding of the gavel made me jump.
I walked past Daniel and his wife, and it was terrible. Everyone is beginning to treat me like a filthy woman for something that I was unaware of, and it was miserable.
I arrived home well past 10 o’clock. Plants were thrown everywhere, the windows were smashed, and everything was ruined, and there was big red A on my garage.
Chapter 2
I felt sick when I woke up the next day. When I got up, I found out that I have company. He looked at me with a kind of look that would take my inner thoughts and secrets. I went to the bathroom to get my robe.
“What brings you here, Daniel? How did you know that I was here?”
Daniel stood there looking at me, “Your mother told me.”
He was about to respond but I still had a lot to say,
“Daniel, you know that you will always be special to me, but I have learned to move on, and you should, as well.”
“ Please understand, Del. You know that I still love you.”
“ I do love you too, with what happened in the past few months, I have grown up.”
“ Yeah, I understand.”
I wanted to grasp him and let him stay with me, but I just can’t. I just watched him leave.
During the Trial
Daniel’s Point of View
Della Lawyer looked directly at me, “Mr. Daniel Adams, please come to the stand.”
I was so frightened while walking up to the stand. I was anxious that I might say the wrong words that would hurt Della.
“Tell us your name.”
“Daniel Adams”
“How long have you been dating defendant?”
“About a year and a half, perhaps.”
“She was not just a fling?”
“If she was just a fling, then I would not be in this court.”
“ So what is she in your life, if she is not just a fling?”
“I can’t tell. I don’t know.”
“ Of course you know. She was just a fling to you. You found out that she was financially challenged. You exploited her to be unfaithful to your wife, and when you’re done, you will leave her live a life like hell. And your wife is now suing her for your fault.”
“It’s a lie! I love her… I mean, I care about her.”
“Mr. Evans, can you tell me why you stepped out on your better half?”
“Perhaps I was not happy anymore.”
“Perhaps? So you are not sure if you are happy or not? If you have been unfaithful, you must be sad.”
“I wouldn’t know.”
“You need to make it sure. Your honor, that’s all.”
“I’ll give a 10 minute break for Mr. Evans to find an answer. Mr. Evans, please.”
“Okay, Ma’am.”
My lawyer approached me during recess, “Mr. Evans, you need to give her a good reason.”
Gwendoline placed her hand on her hip, “That’s right, Daniel. Do you want to win or lose?”
“ I don’t care! How many times do I have to tell you that I’m not giving this trial a damn? I asked you to forgive me, but the choice to believe me was yours. I know that this is just for publicity, and I care less!”
“You owe me one.”
“I don’t believe I owe you anything, Gwendoline.”
“ But you were unfaithful to me.”
“ I just can’t believe it! You are so impossible!”
The lawyer interrupted, “Wait, I bet you both need to relax.
“ You said that he asked you to have coffee with him. Where were the children at that time?”
