30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 151

The trial was in full swing, and the evidence kept rolling. The drone footage that little boy had captured for Estrella was damning-not only had it caught Nick in the act of domestic violence, but it even recorded the chilling moment when Nick had his hands around Lexi’s throat and pushed her down the stairs.

Estrella’s predictions were correct about how Nick abused Lexi and how Lexi tried to

evade him.

With irrefutable evidence, including the scene of him pushing Lexi down the stairs captured on camera, Nick completely wilted, a stark contrast to his earlier arrogant demeanor.

All his schemes and dreams were shattered. He wouldn’t be wooing any wealthy lady like Piper anymore. The rest of his life would likely be spent behind bars.

After the video evidence concluded, the judge turned to Nick’s defense with a stern look. “Counselor, do you have anything to say in your client’s defense?”

Nick’s lawyer shook his head, defeated. “Nothing, Your Honor.”

The judge then turned to Nick. “Defendant, do you have anything to say for yourself?”

At that moment, Nick was still fixated on the projector screen that had displayed his downfall. How was this possible? How did Estrella get her hands on this footage? Who in the neighborhood was spying on him with a drone?

Nick had thought he’d covered his tracks by keeping Estrella out of his house and away from his home security footage. He believed his abuse of Zoey had been seamless, with no witnesses to expose him, but he never anticipated that Estrella could obtain even more evidence, including the very moment he pushed Lexi down the stairs.

Justice has long arms.

Seeing Nick still shaking his head at the projector screen, the judge repeated his questi but Nick just remained silent. After a brief consultation with the jurors, the judge proceeded to deliver the verdict.

“Under Section 232 of our criminal code, the defendant Nick is hereby sentenced to 25 years imprisonment for the crime of intentional homicide.”

“Under Section 234 of the criminal code, the defendant Nick is hereby sentenced to 3 years imprisonment for assault, totaling 28 years.”

Nick was 28 years old. Now, sentenced to 28 years of prison, his life was effectively over. The thought of a life of luxury was replaced with the grim reality of life behind bars.

The sentences for murder and assault were handed down, and Zoey broke down in tears. Rather than bringing Nick to justice, Zoey would rather her sister had never known this
