Chapter 79 The Testimony

• Renee’s POV
• “Ready?” I ask Eric, adjusting his tie. Eric sighs. Beneath is expensive suit and fresh cologne, is the raw expression of exhaustion. We stand outside courtroom. People scurry around us, their shoes scuffing the tiles as they hurry to appointments.
• My fingers slip off his tie and just before I can fully release him Eric grabs my wrist. “You know why she’s doing this right?” Eric asks referring to Mia. I nod, but maybe I don’t really. “She’s trying to wear me down. If she can’t have me then no one can,” Eric says.
