It’s too late for us to back out now. Daniel, you need to give an answer to the questions faster so she will be sentenced right away.”
“ So, how about if I don’t want her to be sentenced?”
“ Like what the lawyer has said, it is too late to back out. Come on, let’s go.”
Della’s Point of View
“How is it going?”
The lawyer responded, “It’s going good. You have them because of the 2 kids and their mom. I think he is afraid that’s why he didn’t answer the question. Or, maybe his attorney advised him not to, but I think they won’t do that.”
“What are we going to do now?”
“I will return to the trial and have him answer the question. And, please tell let me know if you still have anything else that I need to know.”
“I already have told you everything.”
“Alright. Things will be difficult in the few months, but you should be strong. I know that these things suck, and it won’t get any better with him coming to the hotel you are in.”
“You know that he went there? How?”
“I have means. I also let people check on what happened to your house. “
“Thanks for everything, Maribelle.”
“It’s a pleasure. Let’s go.”
Trial
“Counselor, please proceed.” The Judge declared.
“So Mr. Evans, is it just for once, or was this a pattern?”
“This is the first time. I haven’t been unfaithful before.”
“ Did you lack interest on your wife?
“Objection!
“ Why is that, counsel?
“It’s a question of third party, your honor.
“ Article 5043 says that Question of 3 rd party is allowed if the third party is spouse of the one on stand. Judge?
“That’s correct. Please proceed.
“ Did you lack interest on your wife?”
“No, madam.”
“If that’s the case, why did step out on her?
“I dreamed of an elegant wife, grand house, luxurious cars, and beautiful kids. However, my wife doesn’t know how to cook, she can’t make me grin, but Della does. She makes me laugh, we play video games together. I can do everything without feeling guilty. Shouldn’t it be great that I can both have the cake and eat it as well?”
“Mr. Evans, it is okay for you to have the cake too, but if you are too selfish, then you will have a stomach ache. Judge, that would be all. Thank you.
“Let’s call it a day. We will proceed with the hearing tomorrow at noontime.
Later that night.
“What did you say, eat the cake and have it too?
Gwendoline asked me by the time we were home. I am sick of explaining. I think it would be better if she just got to bed and not talking to me. Yes, I love her, but I’m not in love with her. She’s like a boomerang and she will hurt you. As to why we are married, here it goes. I was 18 years old then, and was starting a small business. It was an online one named The Hype. It was some sort of an audio production site. Her dad was running for mayor at that time, and finds myself promising. So he would get majority of the votes as he was helping me out, while I would get $60,000 and get a physical store. And then, it was not enough. He let me marry his spoiled brat. I agreed, as I was after the money for me to be successful.
“Hey, did you hear what I just said?
“ I do because you are always the one who does all the talking.
“ Goodnight!
“Duke and Della are the only great things that came from this.” He murmured.
Chapter 3
Daniel’s Point of View
While I was driving my way back to my house, I counted the times that I disappointed Della. I also counted those times that I asked if she was fine. Yes, I asked her if she was fine, but I haven’t asked her if that feeling was terrifying her, causing her sleepless nights, and if it made her doubt herself. That was why I went to her room and hugged her as she
