The day of the trial
Harper and Addison were sitting in front of each other, a very good distance apart
Harper looked furious, while Addison looked like she was numb from pain
There was also Rafael sitting in the corner
The judge
*hitting the table with a gavel
The judge
now, silence all of you!
The judge
let us proceed with the procedures
the crowd became silent and the judge looked at the defendants
The judge
it was said that you, Harper Anderson, cheated on your fiancée
The judge
do you deny that?
a loud uproar came from the people and the judge hit the table with the gavel again
he looked at Harper Anderson
The judge
so what were those photos?
Harper Anderson
I assure you that they are fake
Harper Anderson
I have both an alibi and a witness for all of those cases
the crowd started to nod sternly and the judge looked at Addison
The judge
so...what do you say Addison Winslow?
Addison Winslow (FL)
I...my hobby is photography...
Addison Winslow (FL)
and I can well distinguish between a real photo and a fake one...
Addison Winslow (FL)
and much as it sounds pathetic...they were all real
Harper's lawyer
could I have a word with Ms. Winslow, Sir?
the lawyer turned to look at Addison
Harper's lawyer
are you really sure of him cheating on you, Miss?
Harper's lawyer
is your trust in your fiancé so scarce that you chose to believe those photos instead of him?
the crowd started to whisper around while Addison looked at the lawyer
Addison Winslow (FL)
still waters run deep...
Addison Winslow (FL)
you can live a lifetime with him and still not know his true colour...
Addison Winslow (FL)
and...
Addison Winslow (FL)
my trust in him broke completely when I saw those photos
the people started to nod at her words and the lawyer spoke again
Harper's lawyer
I am sorry if you may find this question offending...
Harper's lawyer
but did you really love him?
Harper's lawyer
maybe you dated Harper Anderson for his money?
Harper's lawyer
regarding your financial status, I am not so sure you could have covered your tuition fees without him
Addison Winslow (FL)
I have never gotten a penny from him
Addison Winslow (FL)
and devoting 3 years into a relationship without getting anything in return can be considered love
Addison Winslow (FL)
right?
the lawyer pursed his lips tightly as he couldn't get the answers he wanted from her
Harper's lawyer
maybe your love for him wasn't enough that he has had affairs with other women?
Addison Winslow (FL)
I thought you were sure that Harper Anderson didn't fool around with other women?
the crowd got impressed with her answer and started to whisper again
Rafael Anderson (ML)
*smiled for no reason
Rafael Anderson (ML)
(she is smart)
Harper's lawyer
it...it was just a theory, Ms. Winslow
Harper's lawyer
could you please give an answer to my question, miss?
Addison Winslow (FL)
even if my love wasn't enough...
Addison Winslow (FL)
we were about to get engaged
Addison Winslow (FL)
do you think having love affairs behind your fiancée's back is acceptable?
Addison Winslow (FL)
I thought we lived in the 21st century where everything was just and equal, sir
Harper's lawyer
*speechless
the crowd started to make noises and applaud for Addison while the judge hit his gavel once again
once the crowd quietened down, he looked down at Addison
The judge
Ms. Addison, where is your lawyer?
Addison Winslow (FL)
sir...I don't have money to hire a lawyer
people started to whisper again
The judge
do you have anything to add, Ms. Winslow?
Addison Winslow (FL)
I...I do have something to say to Harper Anderson, sir
Addison looked at Harper and then down at her hands nervously
Addison Winslow (FL)
H-Harper...
her voice cracked instantly and tears flooded her eyes
she wiped her crocodile tears with her sleeve as she looked at Harper sadly...
Addison Winslow (FL)
where did I go wrong?
Addison Winslow (FL)
what did I do...
Addison Winslow (FL)
that made you...
Addison Winslow (FL)
that made y-you do this to me?
Addison Winslow (FL)
were all these 3 years...
Addison Winslow (FL)
just...just in vain?
Addison Winslow (FL)
you said you loved me...
Addison Winslow (FL)
you made me feel special when no one treated me this way...
the people inside this room started to feel pity for her and everyone started to shout cuss words at Harper
Addison Winslow (FL)
was I just another woman in your eyes, Harpie?
with that, tears streaming down her cheeks, she covered her face with her hands...
hiding her victorious smirk behind her hands
The judge
SILENCE *hitting the gavel
The judge
let the jury reach its verdict!
half an hour passed when the jury reached its verdict
Addison was looking down at her trembling hands, her face red from crying
while Harper was chilling...sure that Rafael helped him out
the judge read the answers and then he looked at Addison
The judge
everyone has supported Addison Winslow and pleaded Harper guilty of cheating
Addison looked at the judge with a surprised face
Addison Winslow (FL)
they...they have?
The judge
yes, Ms. Winslow
The judge
and let us state the amount of alimony
The judge
you will get 15% of his income every month
the people started to yell protests about this decision
they shouted that Addison should be given 25% of his income
The judge
now...silence again
The judge
*tired of hitting the gavel
Addison Winslow (FL)
sir...
Addison Winslow (FL)
I don't accept the alimony
Rafael Anderson (ML)
*curious
Rafael had been smiling all this time ever since he saw Addison
The judge
are you sure, Ms. Winslow?
Addison Winslow (FL)
sir...like the lawyer said...
Addison Winslow (FL)
I am afraid that people will say I divorced him because of the money I can get
the people started to yell "no" at her as their faces filled with empathy for her
The judge
won't it be difficult for you to cover tuition fees?
The judge
think of your family...
Addison Winslow (FL)
sir...
she has started crying again while the people told the judge to exceed the amount of alimony
The judge
alright, alright!
The judge
*hit the gavel to issue silence
The judge
since you don't have a stable financial status and you are the only child who can provide for your family...
The judge
you will be granted 30% of his monthly income
everyone started to nod approval at the decision, while Addison nodded sternly
she was hiding her evil, victorious smile behind that serious face
she looked at Harper and then mouthed something to him
Addison Winslow (FL)
that is just the beginning, Harper Anderson
