Denying My Son's Guilt Chapter 8
The script had been flipped.Now it was Brenda and Tiffany’s turn to panic.“Blackmail?” Brenda’s voice was a shriek. “Harper! How can you say that? We’re the victims!”She was trying to regain control, but her voice was trembling.“My daughter has been through so much trauma, and now you’re going to turn on us?”Tiffany immediately played along, squeezing out more tears.“I’m in enough pain already… I really just made a mistake… please don’t torture me anymore…”Her voice shook as she tried to slip back into the role of the innocent victim.“I have PTSD… my memory is all mixed up… it’s not my fault…”A few people on the jury started to hesitate.“Maybe they really did make a mistake…”“They do look pathetic…”But my expression was carved from ice.I stroked Cooper, who let out a lazy yawn.“PTSD?” I repeated the term. “An interesting theory.”I nodded toward the back of the courtroom.My lawyer, Marcus, a sharply dressed middle-aged man, stood up.“Your Honor, the defense would like t
Denying My Son's Guilt Chapter 7
The big screen came to life.The first document appeared.It was an ornate, official certificate, embossed with the golden seal of TICA—The International Cat Association.The name “Cooper Mitchell” was printed clearly.His pedigree certificate, microchip ID, vaccination records, and competition history—it was all there.Owner’s Information: Harper Mitchell.Date of Registration: Two years ago.Someone in the courtroom gasped.“Is… is that real?” a juror whispered.I tapped the screen, bringing up the next page.Cooper’s Instagram profile filled the screen.@CooperTheBengal - 52,000 followers.The profile picture was an elegant shot of Cooper in profile, his amber eyes glittering for the camera.“I’m child-free by choice. I have no human children. But I do have a son. My cat-son, Cooper, does have his own social media account,” I said calmly. “With fifty-two thousand followers.”I started scrolling.Countless photos and videos filled the screen.Cooper playing in my mansion.Cooper slee

Brenda’s accusation landed like a bomb in the courtroom.Some of the jurors started whispering to each other.“She’s right. How can she prove this cat is the Cooper being accused?”“Could it be a stand-in?”“Maybe the real criminal is in hiding.”I watched their fickle minds waver, a cold calm settling over me.Gavin seized the opportunity.He shot to his feet, his voice shaking with renewed purpose.“Your Honor! The defendant is making a mockery of this court! She’s trying to create a smokescreen with this… this animal!”He pointed at Cooper in my arms.“It's an insult to my client, and to the very concept of justice!”Tiffany immediately played along, rising from the witness stand with fresh tears.“Yes! She’s protecting the real Cooper! The monster who hurt me!”Her voice trembled.“The real Cooper is a person! A violent man! Not this cat!”The jury’s expressions began to waver.A middle-aged woman on the jury frowned.“That does make sense. How could you substitute a cat for a pers
Denying My Son's Guilt Chapter 5
The bailiff swung the courtroom doors open, wheeling in a sleek, expensive-looking pet carrier.The black carrier was plastered with international travel stickers, looking both professional and mysterious.The courtroom held its breath.Cameras flashed, a frenzy of blinding light. The live-stream chat scrolled at lightning speed:“What’s in there?”“Evidence?”“The murder weapon?”“What kind of game is Harper playing?”The jury sat up straight, their eyes glued to the carrier.Tiffany’s knuckles went white as she clutched her mother’s hand, her eyes wide with alarm.Brenda frowned, a deep line forming between her brows. She was completely lost.Gavin, the opposing counsel, shot to his feet. "Objection! Your Honor, what is the meaning of this theatrics?"“Let her continue,” the judge waved him off.I walked slowly toward the carrier, each step steady and deliberate.The silence was absolute, broken only by the sharp click-clack of my heels on the marble floor.Everyone was waiting.Wait

“DNA evidence!”Excited murmurs rippled through the jury box.“She has nothing left to say now!”“Science doesn’t lie!”“Harper, what’s your excuse for this?”Gavin strutted in the center of the courtroom. A victory lap.“Your Honor, in the face of such conclusive evidence, I demand an immediate judgment of five million dollars in civil damages!”He pointed at me, his voice ringing with power. “And we are filing for an emergency restraining order. Keep that monster one thousand feet away from my client at all times!”The gallery burst into applause.“Yes! Keep that little monster away from her!”“Five million isn’t enough!”“He should be in jail!”I looked at the bag of golden fur, and the corner of my mouth tilted up in a slight smile.That tiny change in expression didn’t escape anyone’s notice.“Look at her!” Brenda shrieked from her seat. “The proof is staring us in the face, and she’s smiling! That woman has no soul!”Her voice grew shriller. “Harper Mitchell, if you think five mi

Tiffany’s face flushed red.She clearly hadn’t expected me to challenge her so directly.“How… how can you say that?” she stammered, her voice thick with anger. “I almost died!”“But you didn’t,” I said calmly, watching her reaction. “And you’re able to stand here and testify in perfect detail.”“Because I was lucky!” Tiffany was almost screaming now. “If my neighbor hadn’t heard…”She paused. A flicker of cunning in her eyes.“Actually… this wasn’t the first time.”The entire room refocused on her.“Ever since they moved in, he’s been following me. At the community gym, at the pool, even outside my house.” She took a deep breath, making herself look weaker again. “The way he looked at me… it was predatory. Like… like he wanted to tear me to pieces.”Angry whispers erupted from the jury box.“A total creep!”“A kid like that is a danger to everyone!”“He should be locked up!”I remained expressionless.“Cooper doesn’t go to the community gym.”"You're lying!" Tiffany shrieked. "I have
