Chapter 56 The Prosecution

• Rachael stepped into the courtroom, her fingers gripping the fabric of her dress tightly. Her heart pounded, but she held her head high. Alexis walked beside her, his presence reassuring. As they took their seats, she glanced around. The air in the room felt heavy with the tension in it.
• At the front, Fred sat in handcuffs, his face void of emotion. The man who once controlled her life, who had hurt her time and time again, was finally facing the consequences of his actions.
• The judge entered, and everyone stood before settling back down. The proceedings began immediately.
