Chapter 37~ Apology gift

Aaron had used his connections to push Serena’s trial forward.

He wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible so that they can finally have some peace of mind.

The Winston siblings had been a thorn in his flesh that he couldn’t wait to get rid of.

It was the day of the trial and Josh had gone to testify against Serena. Jerry had also been arrested but he was released on bail because he wasn’t in possession of the drugs and he was drugged as

well.

He was just told to pay a fine and given a restraining order to stay far away from Tessa. They also cancelled the contract between them without having to pay for breaches because of the incident that happened.

Aaron and Tessa were seated in the courtroom as Josh explained what had happened.

He explained how Serena had approached him and how he had recorded their conversation. Although, he left out the part where he switched up the drinks. He said he didn’t know how Serena ended up being drugged.

The judge heard both sides of the stories but she wasn’t impressed with Serena’s defence, saying

she had the intent to harm the victim in both cases that she and Tessa were involved in a

scandal.

Thus, Serena was sentenced to ten years imprisonment for being in the presence of a class one drug, called ecstasy.

Serena’s eyes widened when the jury passed their verdict. She couldn’t believe she would spend ten years in prison while Tessa would live the life she deserved with the man who belonged to

her.

Hatred brewed in her heart but unfortunately, she couldn’t take revenge on Tessa even if she

wanted to.

At the same time, Tessa let out a breath she was holding when the judgement was passed. Serena was a psychopath and there was no way Tessa would ever feel safe if she was left to freely roam

the streets.

When Serena was being taken to the correctional facility, her eyes met Tessa’s and she became crazy with fury as she pushed the officers away and attempted to jump into the audience to get to

her.

However, she was held back by the police officers and all she could do was throw profanities at

Tessa.

“Fuck you, bitch! You’re just a substitute! Who do you think you are? You’re a whore who stole my man! Are you going to be happy knowing you were the second choice?! Do you think Aaron would want you if you didn’t have his bastard kids?!”
