Chapter 15

Auteur: Noorie
A week later Lucian accompanied Darcy in the courtroom to attend Harry's trial, to end everything for good.

Lucian and Darcy sat in the front row. Lucian’s hand was a steady, warm weight over Darcy’s as the judge began to read the verdict.

"Harry Williams, for the attempted kidnapping of a minor, the illegal solicitation of private security for criminal intent, and the gross negligence resulting in the endangerment of life... this court sentences you to twenty-five years in a maximum-security facility without the possibility of parole for the first fifteen."

The gavel struck the wood like a thunderclap.

As the officers moved to cuff him, Harry lunged toward the railing. He didn't look at the judge or his lawyer. He looked at Darcy.

"Darcy! Please!" he sobbed, the sound echoing off the high ceilings. "I was wrong. I was crazy with grief! I thought he was Leo... I just wanted my family back. Tell them to have mercy. For the sake of the years we spent together, Darcy, please!"

    The next morning, Darcy stood in the private cemetery on the outskirts of the Thorne estate. Unlike the cold marble mausoleum Harry had desecrated in his madness, this grave was hidden beneath the weeping boughs of an ancient willow tree. The headstone was simple, white, and bore only one name: Leo.Darcy knelt on the damp earth, the hem of her silk dress disregarded. In her trembling hands, she held the the Lot 44 she had outbid a room full of millionaires to obtain. It was the last thing Leo had asked for before the world went dark."I promised I'd find it for you," she whispered, her voice catching as she placed the toy at the base of the stone. "You don't have to wait anymore, my sweet boy."A heavy, warm coat was draped over her shoulders. She didn't need to look up to know it was Lucian. Theo stood on her other side, his small hand resting on the headstone in a gesture of brotherhood that transcended the living and the dead."He knows, Darcy," Lucian said softly, his hand restin

    "These are the DNA reports that proves Theo is my son." Lucian declared while throwing the DNA reports before Harry and the press.Harry picked the document in a haste and the reporters circulated him to see what was written in it."And, these are the evidence that shows Theo has been living with me in Thorne Mansion for seven years, never moving out of the country.""As for Leo, he lived with you for five years before you carelessly left him to die. Am I right, Williams?""There is no link between Leo and Theo except..." He paused as he walked closer to Darcy. Gently placing his hands over her waist, he added, "Darcy is the mother of both the children. They both belongs to her, but not you.""How is this even possible?" Harry chuckled, his eyes that were fixed on the evidence Lucian had just thrown before him shifted to Darcy's waist where laid Lucian's hands as if he owned her.He clenched the DNA reports in his hands and accused Darcy. "This is all bullshits! If Theo... is not my so

    "I’ve already made the call, Darcy," Harry said, his voice eerily steady. "My men are at the cemetery. They have the equipment. If you won't give me the truth, I’ll dig it out of the ground myself.""You are desecrating a child’s resting place!" Darcy’s voice cracked, her composure finally splintering. She moved to lunged at him, but two security guards stepped forward, their shadows looming over her. "Harry, if you do this, there is no coming back. Not in this life or the next.""There was never a way back for us anyway," Harry countered. He turned the phone around, casting the live feed onto the giant projector screen used moments ago for the auction.The crowd watched in a horrified, hypnotic silence. Their interest shifted from the limited edition jewllery presented in the auction hall to the family drama of once so famous business tycoon, Harry Williams and his ex-wife who had charged him of medical negligence. They were curious to know who among them was speaking the truth and

    The sound of the slap echoed through the Auction Hall.The crowd gasped, phones surfacing like shark fins to record the downfall of the woman who had been standing upright and arrogant just moments ago."Harry..." Claire gasped, clutching her burning cheek. "You... you hit me? For her?""I hit you for every disrespect you cause to Darcy," Harry snarled, his eyes fixed on Darcy, desperate to see a glimmer of approval. "Get out, Claire. I don't need you anymore. I’ve found my family, you’re less than the dirt on Darcy's shoes."He turned back to Darcy, his eyes seeking her approval. "See, Darcy? She’s nothing. I’ll ruin her. I’ll make sure she never shows her face to us again. Just come home. We can take Leo—""Stop." Darcy’s voice was sharp as blade.The boy, who had been watching the scene with a chillingly calm expression for a child, stepped forward and gripped Darcy’s hand."Harry, look at me," Darcy said, her emerald eyes burning with a cold fire. "You just humiliated the woman you

    "Then who else is his son?" Harry barked, "Have you taken me as a fool that I would not recognize my own son?" Darcy's lips curled up into a smirk before she said, "Your last sentence just proved your first sentence was correct, Harry. You can't recognize your son. What right do you have to call my son yours?"Harry's hands clenched. He did not understand why Darcy was refusing to accept the truth when Leo was clearly standing before his eyes. He tried to calm himself down before he began, his voice softening, "Darcy, I know I have wronged you. I was such a jerk of a person and much bad of a Dad.""I get that you were mad at me that time but faking your own son's death and moving out with him, don't you think you have gone too far in your vengeance?""I almost believed I had killed Leo.""I spent the whole year crying before the grave I thought belonged to Leo." "All these months, I never contacted Claire, neither did I meet her son. My life, it was dedicated to finding you." "Now
