Chapter 67: Happy Ever After Does Exist
Blossom's POV
My heart was racing fifty miles per hour. I was sweating and shivering as if I was having a fever over one hundred.
"What say you?" the Judge questioned.

"We, the jury, finds Hunter Sax guilty on attempted murder."
Everyone exhaled on cue and I found Jevan and pulled him in for a quick hug.
"Very well. Sentencing would be handed down at the next hearing in eight days. Court adjourned."

Talks were circulating that he committed suicide
