Bailiff: All rise…. The superior court is now in session.
Judge: Good morning… Calling the case filed by Dylan Drake. This morning we will give out the final ruling according to the CCTV footage found in Dylan's house. Are both sides ready…?
Jonas: Yes your honor. (Stands up and nods).
James: Yes your honor. (Stands up and nods).
Judge: Clerk… you may now swear in the jury.
Clerk: Will the jury please stand and raise your hand? Do you each avow, to tell the truth, according to the evidence you all collected? (Awaits for the juries to all swear then orders them to sit).
James: My honor as we were able to collect the required evidence to prove that my client was forced to do what she did due to Mr. Dylan's filthy action. He pushed her to it. And according to the video of the CCTV footage at their house. It's seen Dylan sexually assaulting my client.
Jonas: Your honor I disagree with his claims. His client had no right to send assassins to kill my client.
Mapendo: No they weren't assassins. They were supposed to just give him strokes.
Judge: Can you relax Mapendo or else you will be thrown out.
Mapendo: Fine
Judge: The final ruling concerning the case filed by Dylan Drake. It's confirmed that he did sexually assault Miss Mapendo and threatened her. Miss Mapendo is also guilty of the case filed against. Since she already taught Dylan a lesson the court won't punish him. Miss Mapendo will do community service and will be required to pay fifty thousand. That's the end of the court. The court is adjourned. (The judge declared as Mapendo was excited that she didn't end up in jail).
Dylan: No... that's an unfair ruling she should go to jail. I can't accept this...
Judge: That's the final decision.
"I can't accept this... I was hurt", Dylan busted out not accepting that he lost the case. Resentment boiled deep in his system, as hot as lava. It stirred within for wreckage. The pressure of this raging sea of anger would force him to say things he didn't mean. He allowed the darkness he felt to swallow him whole for a little while.
"You are at fault here, why did you do that to her. You should blame yourself for what she did. You deserved it and even disappointed in you. I thought you were saying the truth. It turned up that you were the bad one ", His mum couldn't believe that it was Dylan who did that.
"Am sorry mum", He apologized.
"We will talk at home. Your dad is waiting for you",
"Am so happy baby....", Mapendo's mum hugged her excitedly after the court session. She was glad that she won the case.
"Thanks, mum....", She grinned at her glancing at Dylan who stared at her with evil piercing eyes. If looks could kill she would be now a zombie.
"My bad this time it was me winning not him as he embarrassed me in school. No... the time of ridiculing me ended.
Am now a braver girl than before. I don't just let people step down on me like sand. No... I know my worth and won't take any shit from anyone. Sometimes a bad situation comes our way to make us stronger and bolder", In her mind she knew her worth who she was. She couldn't let Dylan or any other person take advantage of her.
"Bestie am so happy for you. You can now end high school in peace", Katrina congratulated her excitedly in the company of Pearl who grinned at her. She was thankful to God for giving her such supportive friends.
"This calls for a celebration. You made it and conquered the beast", Pearl suggested.
"Him... a beast. I bet he is a sham beast", Katrina chuckled staring at Dylan with disgust.
"Stop your eyes will pop out", Mapendo giggled.
"So what are your plans for today", Pearl raised a brow at her.
"Aaah... Just go home with my mum. Make a delicious meal and sleep I guess", She pointed out with a grin on her face.
"That's so lame... Let's go clubbing", Katrina suggested hoping that Mapendo wouldn't decline her offer.
"Whaaat... Clubbing... And am just from a court case for being drunk raped cause my vengeful heart couldn't forgive him. No... I can't do that now. Am a minor for your info", She refuted hastily she couldn't picture herself drinking again after what happened between her and Dylan.
"Mmmmf... Fine we will one day oooh... I mean one night. Cause who goes clubbing during the day", Katrina lightly giggled.
"Fine... Thank you all for coming here to support me. I appreciate it. Your support is the best that you girls can offer me. Can we now go to my place for lunch? Am sure my mum will love the idea ....", Mapendo suggested hoping they would accept.
"Of course yes...!! How can we say no to food", Katrina chuckled. She's just so funny.
"Hahaha my mum is waiting ", Mapendo said heading to the door.
"I hope you are happy now. Buh doesn't just celebrate yet. You just won the battle but not the war", Dylan threatened her blocking her way.
"I dare you to try and you will be a dead man", Mapendo assured him that she wasn't scared of his threats. Nothing could shake her for now she is a better version of herself. The Mapendo who doesn't allow people to downgrade her.
"You small dickhead get the hell away from her. If you dare do anything to her ever again. I will personally castrate you. Dare me", Pearl threatens him not scared of him whatsoever.
"Okay... Am watching you Miss Mapendo", He said sarcastically making weird faces at her. He looked horrible which she didn't see that part of him. The bad Dylan who wants things to go his way.
"Haha go girl go girl... I wish I had a camera. Would have taken the video and promoted you for an Oscar award", Kat chuckled.
"Yes .... Please do I wanna be famous and let these assholes know that they can't be doing what they pleas with us", Mapendo pointed out.
" Wow!! I want this confidence. The... I don't give a fuck type of attitude. That what I want", Pearl grinned at them.
