Married

He couldn't raise his head up after the video recording stopped playing. He was now exposed in the public eye and felt so embarrassed that he wished the ground will open up and swallow him. His smile had completely died off and all attention was on him. If he thought they were done with him, then he was wrong. The show was only starting.

"I hate that bitch! I should have checked that she was really dead before leaving her. Who does she think she is to buy all the shares in my company! I am going to deal with her. She came to run me down but I will destroy her before she can does that!" This recording gave him the shock of his life. It was a video of him and Mark in his office a few days after the encounter with Liana where he found out that she is alive. He wondered how the hell, this video was taken.

"So what do you plan on doing?" Mark asked.

"Kill her again but this time, I will make sure she doesn't resurrect. Before that, I will take everything she owns and make her miserable. I am sure she and that betrayer are behind the collapse of my mall."

"Whatever you will do, remember to be wise. We need a very good plan. I can tell this is not going to be an easy battle."Mark told him.

"Trust me, I will have a perfect plan to take my revenge, and the lover boy won't be excluded. He asked for this by taking her side and marrying her so he will have to deal with the consequences."

By the time the video ended, the whole courtroom was dead silent, in that, if a key had fallen down, its sound would have echoed in the room.

A third video started playing. At this time, it felt like they were in a cinema, watching a crime movie.

"The test is negative man! What are you going to do?"

It can't be. He is my son! She was pregnant when I dumped her in that bush. This can not be. I am sure she is behind this!"

"Come on man, just accept it and find a way to solve this. I trust the doctor that he won't change the test in her favor. I am afraid, but that is the real result"

"Then find a way to change it. Make him my son! What am I paying you for!" He groaned, pushing the things on his desk away onto the floor.

"Go out there, try and convince him. I can not lose to them. I need that boy to get my wealth and social status back. That stupid father-in-law of mine wants me to have a child before he will give us his riches! Make sure I get the boy!"

His wife who was sitting beside him got her fair share of embarrassment as she shifted in her seat, beads of sweat flowing from her forehead. They came there to mock their enemy yet now, they are in the position of being mocked. It was like they have stepped into a perfect trap.

Liana couldn't believe what she was hearing. She couldn't believe that the man she first gave her heart to could hate her this much. One will think she will be okay that at least she was being vindicated, but she wasn't. She longed to walk over to him and beat the hell out of him. She never thought she had the capability of getting this angry.

"Sir, relax, what you want will happen today. Right now she believes her husband is cheating on her and the plan is working. Start jubilating, you will soon achieve your goal." Annie informed him.

"Great news. But I am not going to jubilate until I see him dead and her life destroyed. I want her to be wretched with her reputation destroyed for thinking she stands the chance of taking me down."

"I have to go someone is coming". The line went dead before he could speak.

The next video that was played was on the night Heath and Annie were killed. It was taken in the club they went to celebrate.

"Cheers to Heath in the grave!."

"Victory tastes good," he proclaimed.

"Yes, I have killed you. I have used one stone to kill two birds. I am so happy you are dead, you traitor!. How could you even think of marrying my baby mama? Liana is mine! If I can't have her, no one will. Now go, leave me alone. The dead has no business with the living. Go and rot in hell!" He slurred whiles trying to keep his eyes open. He was drowned in alcohol that he didn't realize what was going on around him.

"Damn! That girl Anne was so brilliant, she pulled this off without any problem. It's too bad that she is dead too. But it's a win-win for me. That way no one will know. Rest in hell mate. Fare thee well."

When all the videos were done playing, he stood up in an attempt to leave the room, but the state's prosecuting lawyer pushed him on the shoulder to resume his seat. A couple of cops also walked in to surround him.

"You know me too well friend......" someone from the entrance of the courtroom said. All movement froze as the person walked further into the room.

His eyes were on Liana who felt like passing out?

"W-w-what is going on!" She tried asking but her voice couldn't come out.

"The only truthful thing you said about me is that I really love my wife and will protect her. Thank Heaven you know that. I love her so much and will protect her from devils like you!. When I took that vow on the alter to love her, I promised to go through the waters and fires for her. I am glad you told the whole jury that I will never cheat on her."

If the videos of Pharrell shocked them, then it stupefied them to see a dead man before them. A man whose murder trial was ongoing. They have never seen such before and most of them thought they were watching a movie. It's even rare in movies.

"W-wh-what is going.....". Pharrell stuttered.

"Your evil deeds have trapped you. Your honor, this is the evidence you needed to believe everything we told you about this man." Attorney Whiteman pointed out.

"H-How did this happen! What is happening here!"Liana asked, needing answers. If looks could kill, Heath would have been dead that instant. She felt they were playing mind games with her and wished she was dreaming.

"H-h-how can you be alive. I-I-I- shot you. I killed you with my own hands?" She sobbed out in confusion. If he is alive, where has he been all this while? Why was he watching on as she suffered behind bars? These questions made her tough and angry.

"No you didn't beautiful. You are innocent. As you can see I am healthy and alive. I am here for you and our baby." He moved across the room to her.

"No-no-no this can't be. You are a ghost. Get away from me!" She just couldn't believe that he was alive and she had to endure the torture and darkness of the prison cell. Not talking of the trauma she has been through.

"I am real babe. I will explain everything to you."
