Cameron's attorney was first asked to present his witnesses. Cameron's secretary was the first to speak. Getting into the witness box and taking an oath to only speak the truth, the secretary spoke calmly of how nice and gentle Cameron has been to even him a mere staff, though he didn't have a close relationship with Cameron's wife, neither does he know her to an extent but he was sure Cameron is innocent of such atrocities been spoken against him. He spoke of how Cameron often stopped on his way home to get a bouquet for Lexa and how he also cancelled his schedule for the day to stay home with her. He strongly believed Cameron was a good man and couldn't do what he was accused of.
He was asked few questions by Jace's lawyer, which he couldn't be able to answer solidy, his excuse was he didn't live with Cameron and only visited when it was urgent. The judge noted down the few points he made and the next witness was called upon.
Alex, Cameron's best friend got on the witness box as he looked at Cameron in the eye with so much pity. He spoke alot on how Cameron has helped him financially and how he has stood beside him like a brother.
"This man right here, is a really good man." He said pointing at Cameron.
"Cameron and I have been best friends for the longest of time,and I know he loves his wife very much. He gets her flowers, takes her to dinner and makes sure she is happy. His desire was to ensure her happiness and be sure she lacked nothing. To tell you how good he is, he came to me one evening with the idea of taking his wife on a honey moon, he wanted to spend some time alone with her in a serene environment and shower her with love. I advised him to take her to Tokyo. Cameron's dream country has always been Japan and he wanted to take the love of his life with him to his dream country. Even after their trip was abruptly cancelled, I housed him because he has been a friend indeed. My bro here can never lay hands on his woman, he loves her with everything he has, that I know". Alex concluded.
Cameron's lawyer and parents nodded in approval, Alex as a witness will boost their chances of winning. Jace's attorney has no questions for him as their third witness emerged.
Cameron's head cook got into the witness box and spoke courageously about Cameron, just the way the last two did.
"You're the head cook at Cameron's house is that right?" Jace's attorney asked as she concluded her speech.
"Yes I am" she replied.
"Beautiful!. Now, do you remember the day you didn't give ma'am Lexa here food for 24 hours because Cameron ordered you to, and when you eventually served her meal the next day, you pleaded with her not to be mad because Cameron has commanded you to lock her up in her room after serving her meal, am I right or wrong miss?" Jace's attorney asked.
"Uhmm, well attorney, I..., I don't exactly know...
"Of course you know. You are the head cook. You get instructions from the head of the house and pass it to your subordinates. So did you starve Lexa for 24 hours and still lock her up the next day after serving her breakfast?." Jace's attorney interrupted.
"Uhmm..well yes my Lord, actually, I don't know what transpired between them, but it was Sir Cameron who ordered me. Ma'am Lexa wasn't served her meal, but I think it was just a marital misunderstanding..." The head cook shivered as she spoke with confusion and anxiety.
" That is all I need to know thank you. My Lord, you can attest to it that Miss Lexa was starved and locked up by her husband in their marital home. Mr Cameron's witness has testified to that herself". Jace's attorney said before returning to his seat.
The court room was thrown off balance and whispers could be heard from all coners. The Edwardos, Alex, Cameron were all pissed as to how he could have let her guard down like that. Their hearts sank to their stomach as they felt defeated, their own witness has foolishly testified against them, how could she have done that!. Jace's witnesses mocked them over their incompetence and no avail to lie to the court of law. Cameron grew could feet as he stared towards Lexa's direction with so much rage and hate. He couldn't believe all his efforts were gradually going down the drain because of her.
