Chereads / She's a rose with thorns / Chapter 45 - Ch-45

Chapter 45 - Ch-45

The news of James Brown being arrested for illegal dealings with Perez and that the latter was also the head of a criminal organisation,which had been on the police's radar,caused a huge uproar.

Gaels evidence played a huge part on the investigation,together with Isabels recording where James admited that Perez and him had done it all.

What shocked people the most was the existence of the 'club' where countless peope from the entertainment industry were part of.Everything those people had done were really disgusting,but the people that actually gave them the chance to be so disgusting were the most despicable.

The news that Hannah had been one of the people who provided illegal substances and models,even child models for these 'celebrities' for the unmentioned,made her public enemy number one.

This despicable woman gave hopes and dreams to young boys and girls,for fame and glamour while actually pushing them on a traumatising nightmare.

The victims identities were hidden,but they gave their contribution for the investigation and some even decided to make themselves public,fighting all the shame and fear they felt to raise awareness for other victims that still kept themselves in the dark.

After a few months Perez's and James's trial were held.

Perez got the death penalty being the mastermind of everything and also because other horrible crimes of his started to come to the surface.

James wasn't given the death penalty,but was sentenced to life in prison.He didn't react when his punishment was given.He just kept his head lowered and no one knew what he was thinking.Some of the people who jad supervised him said that he had started to lose it a bit.Sometimes he would stare in empty space for hours and sometimes he would mumble things to himself.

Hannah also had another trial.Her other crimes had been discovered while she was in prison and 3 year,obviously wasn't enough for what she had done.

Just a few months in prison had made Hannahs once model presence and glow completely fade.Her hair was messy,her skin had started wrinkling and didn't look healthy.She looked about 10 years older than she actually was,in contrast from the time she looked younger than her age.

The judge read the verdict and when the words life sentence.Hannah hysterically cried and screamed she was also a victim.She had been a victim for years in that 'club' and was forced to do it.The evidence were too strong and no matter how much she yelled and cried nothing could be done to change.After all the reason she had done everything wasn't because she was forced,it was true she had been a victim during her early career years,but she had continued to provide models and minor models just for spite.If she had to suffer to be there then everybody had to suffer to be there like her.

Isabels divorce had also been finalised and she had managed to get all James's shares in court and also a huge anomaly fine for emotional and physical damage.

Gael and Isabel had agreed to give the anomalies that they had won to the victims of Hannahs and James's atrociousies.

Isabel right now was on her way to the hospital with Gael to visit Emma who had just given birth to a baby boy.

Emma was half-lying on the bed feeding the little baby while Oliver was staring at the both of them with adoration and love.

Isabel knocked a bit.

"Hope I am not bothering this beautiful family."

"No,no just enter.You could never be a bother to us."

Isabel saw the little precious thing shriveling on his mother chest and was completely hit by an arrow of adorablness.

"Omg!!He is so cute!Hi there little baby!" Isabel started speaking excitedly with her baby voice."How can he be so tiny?Just look at his wittle hands!"

Isabel had always adored kids,especially babies,so when she saw one she would completely break out of character.

After Emma fed the baby said to Isabel.

"Would you like to hold him."

"Would I?" Isabel immediately held out her hands and then stopped halfway."Uh,no.I'm not sure how to hold him properly.I don't want to hurt him."

Emma smiled.

"Do you think Oliver could do better then you?And he was the one who fed him last time,so come one reach out your hands.Hold him on his bum and don't forget to support his head."Emma had suddenly became very experienced and it hadn't even been 24 hours since she became a mother.

"Like this?" Isabel was holding the baby while facing her.The little baby was struggling a bit because of discomfort,while crying a bit and then he stopped and stared at Isabel with wide open eyes and then yawned.

Gael was behind Isabel too,and that little yawn had a destructive power making both of them die from adorablness.

"I'm gonna cry now!I'm seriously gonna cry now!" Isabel wasn't lying.It was too much emotional stimuli for her.

"Well,you're gonna bawl your eyes out here after this."Oliver chuckled a little at his friends reaction.

"You think we should ask her now?" Emma asked Oliver.

"Yes,I think so."

Isabel hugged the baby while patting his back and asked.

"What do you want to ask me?"

Oliver and Emma looked at eachother and Emma started saying.

"Isa,we have something we want to ask you.If you don't want to you can just refuse don't worry we won't mind."

Oliver then continued."We would like you to be the godmother of our son,Lucas.That is,of course,if you also want to."

"Really?My God,that's such an honour!I will gladly accept!How can I refuse to be the godmother of precious little Lucas?"

"We're glad that you accepted."

"Thank you,Isa."

Isabel played with the Lucas a bit and then gave it to Emma so she could put him to sleep and the three of them started to chat.Gael had been mostly quiet,but soon engaged to the conversation and wasn't left out.

"Oh,I almost forgot." Isabel took her bag and took out a file."Here you go.This is my present for my grandson."

Oliver read it and looked at Isabel shocked and immediately returned the file to her.

"Isa,this is too much!We can't accept this!A small thing would've been fine."

"Why not?"

"Isa,these are shares of WAZ!You can't give that to a baby as a present."

"What's wrong with a baby having shares as a present?I got them as a present when I was a baby."Gael looked at them wierdly.

"Yeah,me too." Isabel chimed in and then continued."It's not like he can use them himslef now.He will have the right when he is 18.Now you can handle them for him.WAZ wouldn't exist without you anyway and this isn't as big as you're making it be."

"You two..." normal people like them couldn't comprehend the life of a goldenspoon.Oliver and Emma refused many times,but Isabel was more stubborn and they finally gave up.Gael also gave them his 'small present'.So Emma and Oliver were a bit out of it for a while.

"Man,where can I also get godparents like this?This little rascal is born really lucky!" Oliver tapped his sons nose.

Emma then asked Isabel and Gael.

"Sooo...are you two..." she winked at them a bit,but Isabel denied it.

"No,we're not an item."

"Not yet."Gael added that last sentence which got him a glare from Isabel.

"We kind of want to fix ourselves for a bit.We don't wanna be caught in the moment,at least I don't."

Gael didn't mind Isabels words because he knew she was right.Right now they both were still in therapy and were still discovering themselves.They were close with eachother anyway,they didn't wanna rush and ruin that closeness.

"Aha."

Gael then whispered to Isabel something.

"You think we should tell them now?Don't you think it's too soon?Hm?Okay,let's do it then."

Emma and Oliver were looking at them and then looked at eachother.Are thse two sure that they weren't an item?

"Emma,Oliver,me and Gael have been planning something."

"Mhm."

"After I finally solve everything with WAZ,which might take us maybe 3 months.We are planning on going on a year long trip.Oliver I might need you to be my eyes for a while,but don't worry you'll get a good bonus."

Emma was genuinely happy for Isabel.No matter how cold and collected she was,nobody would come out unaffected having a wild divorce like hers,while also managing the crisis of a company.

"That's really great!I'm so happy for you!"

"Thank you!" Isabel squeezed Emmas hand and smiled.
