'Ken, you do not have to go just yet. Let us figure out a way to resolve this issue. I shall see if there is a place I can send Mirabel to. She is grown now and should not be living in this little room with us'

Mirabel could not believe what she was hearing. Had this man somehow hypnotized her mother? Had the alcohol taken over her senses?

'Mother, what are you saying?'

'I shall find out which of the people you work for will be willing to keep you with them permanently. They will give you a place to live in their house since you shall be working for them full time'.

That should make Mirabel happy but when she looked at Jen, he saw him wink.

No! It would mean that Jen had won and she will not have that. She was going to expose him before leaving the house and maybe, then, she would not have to leave but he would be thrown out.

'Okay mother but you have to ask them first because I do not think they have quarters for their helps. If any one of them had, I would have left here a long time ago. This room suffocates me'. she said.

'I didn't know you felt like that before I could have done something about it sooner'.

'Simething like what? Like throwing your daughter away? The child you bore in your womb for nine months and nurtured just for a man that you just met? You know, I am sorry that I thought that you knew me very well because you are my mother but for you to have taken the side of this stranger ibmver your daughter shows that you never knew me or the alcohol you take has eventually robbed you of your common sense or maybe you are just scared that you might not get another man to bed you and you are willing to tolerate anything even dehumanisation from this beast just to keep him in your bed? Very shameful'.

Before she could finish her tirade, she felt another hot slap on her cheek.

She had not wanted to say all that. In fact she had never spoken to her mother that way before but she was just angry at the turn of events. She who was the victim was being made out to be the villainess and it hurt badly especially since her mother seemed to have lost all faith in her.

'Mira, if the people keep her, her pay package will be reduced and she would not be able to make the little contributions she makes towards the upkeep of this house. You know that I am unemployed at the moment. I do not want the burden to be too much on you. Let her stay. I believe that she has learnt her lesson and would not try such stunt anymore. When I get another job and can take good care of you, the may that you deserve,then you can send her to live elsewhere. I might even move is to a better place with more rooms. But we have to plan this very carefully and not take hasty decisions because of her indiscretion.

Mirabel knew then that she had to kill the man when she saw her mother considering his words.

How could her mother not know that he didn't want her to leave because he wanted them to continue slaving for him while he used their hard earned cash on himself and his girls? Was her mother really that blind or pretending not to notice?

Then what had motivated her to save her that night? She just couldn't understand it.

'You are right. She will have to stay for now'.

Mirabel knew that things were going to get worst. If she was not afraid of sleeping outside because she knew that a worse fate awaited her since this was the worst neighbourhood in Soho, she would have run away but she decided to be on her guard. She had been taken unawares but it was not going to happen again, she vowed.

Her mother went to the factory where she worked as Mirabel prepared to go to work as well while Ken lay back on the bed.

Previously, he made a show of searching for a job but these days, he no longer pretended to do so. And Mirabel was sure that once her mother was unable to keep him any longer or if he found a woman with better means who was willing to have him, he would not bait an eyelid before leaving her mother for such a person.

Not that the thought annoyed her. She prayed that it should happen sooner than later because she did not know how long she could restrain herself from killing Ken.

As she was about to leave, he spoke.

'If you leave this house without my permission or try again what you did last night, I shall kill your mother. It is better for you to know that your presence in this house is stopping me from doing away with your mother. If you as much as leave, then she is a goner and if you encourage her to send you away or convince her to run away with you, then I shall haunt the both of you down and kill you both but I shall make sure I kill her first with you watching so that as you go to the world beyond, you shall go bearing the guilt of her death but before then, I shall torture you in such a way that you shall beg for death and you know just how I plan to torture you. I shall enjoy every second of it. So you had better be warned!' And he laughed. The noise sounding so eerie and scaring that Mirabel hurriedly left for her housekeeping job filled with fright, not for herself but for her mother. She knew now that they were both in danger and did not know what to do. She realised that she had made the right decision to make him believe that she was the one and not her mother who had managed to knock him out that night. He would have harmed her mother in some way to get back at her.

She would rather bear the pain than allow this beast to inflict pain on her mother because of her.

She believed every word that beast had said. She knew they were not just threats but a warning but even then, she was determined to beat him at his game.

She could not afford to be scared. She was not a Cole for nothing.

Mirabel Cole would teach him that wisdom was better than strength in most cases and she was not her father's child for nothing.

    'The accused lived with us after her mother's death and since she was going to be working full time with us and living in, I put her through alot if tests and she passed them all'.'Sorry, ma'am what kind of tests are we talking about here?' Chapman asked warming up to his cross-examination.'To determine her honesty, I would leave wades of currency, jewelries and other valuables, that someone coming from a humble background such as hers would have taken advantage of and hidden but she always brought them back to me thinking that I had misplaced them unintentionally. This caused me to come to trust her and I took her as my sister and treated her as such but little did I know what was going on under my nose'.Everyone in court knew what was coming next. The woman was going to say how Mirabel seduced her husband for money.'I did not know that the husband whom I had done so much for and loved dearly and trusted with all my heart was not only cheating me outside our home but disrespectin

    Mr. Taylor had let her question sink in and have the desired effect before asking Mr. Chapman to cross examine Mirabel. He had not expected her to ask the question but was glad that she had done that and in a very cool detached tone that was very effective.Mr. Chapman himself had not known that the girl was as intelligent as that and was determined to throw her, though he did not know how to get about it except of course trying to get her angry so that she could lose that very chilling confidence she had.' Miss Cole, is it not true that you had secretly desired each one of your friends?''What do you think? That a girl could like all five or six of her friends romantically at the same time even if she were a nymph?''I was coming to that. You are a nymph, Miss Cole are you not?'Mirabel was getting impatient with this prosecutor but she refused to give him the satisfaction of showing her annoyance and impatience with him. She was going to throw him, defeat him by being patience pers

    'Is it not true that since you share a daughter - father relationship with Miss Cole, she will have confided in you what her plans were?' Chapman asked.'She told me that she would teach them a le....''... a little lesson, bla bla bla like you have told the court in great detail. it being as close as you are with her, could this not be the excuse you both came up with, a plot to mislead the court?''Objection, my lord'.'Sustained. Prosecutor, limit yourself to questioning the witness and not forcing your assumptions on him'.'Mr. Jonas, how is it possible that a girl who claim to have adopted as your daughter would be gang raped and you do not feel inclined to report to the authorities to ensure that they are punished?''I respected my daughter's wishes and you we'll know how women who have been ravished are looked on as spoilt goods. All these made me reconsider'.'Is it not possible that you planned all these with your daughter to escape justice? Being gang raped indeed!''Do yo

    Two regular customers of Mirabel were called to the stand and both of the testified that she did not behaved abnormally and that she was very cheerful and respectful. She treated her customers with courtesy and even when they were rude and hard to please, she still devised meNs to satisfy them and keep them happy and coming. That was why the patronage of her eatery kept growing which would have been otherwise if she had had any mental problems.'That is not a kind of problem you hid for long'. One of them said.Chapman had no questions for them and then Taylor calked Dr. Rutherford to the stand.'Welcome doctor, may we meet you?' Taylor said, this was to establish the authencity of the man.'I am Dr. Peter Rutherford. I work at the General hospital here in London as a consultant and a specialist in the field of psychiatric and neurology'.'Please doctor, have you under any circumstances examined the accused Miss Cole?''Yes I have'.'What was the basis of the examination?''Well to de

    Chapman was almost gloating and Taylor could not blame him at all. 'Your witness, Taylor', he said knowing that any question Taylor threw at Liam would only implicate his client further and aggravate the already angry spectators.'No questions!' Taylor said looking straight at Liam.Wise! Chapman thought.'Well I have one other person to call to the witness stand, Your Honour'.The judge nodded though praying that it was not another witness with a slashed penis. The case against the innocent looking girl was becoming very gruesome and he just wanted to be done with it.'I call Curtis to the witness box'.Curtis walked confidently to the stand, sparing Mirabel a glance that seem to say, you will have what is coming to you today as we take our revenge on you.'Curtis, could you tell us what your full name is?''Curtis Trowler'.'How did you meet the accused?''She came to my mother's shop to buy some groceries and it was much and I happened to be going the same way as she and I helped
