When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Chapter 2036

Kristian had hired a defense Lawyer, yet deep inside, he knew Matthew held damning evidence against him.

He was fearful, sensing no escape, yet he clung to a sliver of hope that his lawyer could somehow tilt the scales in his favor and secure a lighter sentence.

When Stella’s and Kristian’s eyes met across the courtroom, he looked desperate, like a trapped animal.

Stella, however, felt detached.

She averted her gaze as the judge called the courtroom to order.

As the plaintiff, Stella stood and detailed Kristian’s entire scheme to kill her and Bella by causing a plane crash, as well as the abduction of Bella and the car crash off the cliff.

Initially, Stella was emotionally distant regarding Kristian’s offenses, but as she recounted the facts, the gravity of his actions hit her.

Thinking of Bella enduring years with such a man intensified Stella’s desire for justice.

She presented the evidence, cataloging the things Kristian had committed using Bella’s name throughout the years.

It was sufficient to convict him, yet Stella felt a pang of sorrow.
