The Billionaire's Rejected Twins chapter 93
Friday morning was grey and cold.Bella got dressed at six-thirty, made herself a cup of coffee and, for once, actually finished it. Before leaving, she told Helena she'd be back by noon.Helena looked at her from across the kitchen. "How are you feeling?"Bella took a sip of her coffee. "Honestly? I just want today to be over."Helena gave her a small look. "Because of the verdict?""Yeah." Bella set the cup down. "I just want to know it's finally done. Properly done."Helena nodded and left it at that. Bella appreciated it. She didn't really feel like talking about it any more.Carlos was waiting outside at seven-fifteen. When Bella got into the car, he didn't ask if she was nervous or how she was feeling. He just gave her a quick look, started the car, and drove.****The courtroom was fuller than it had been all week.The public gallery was packed, and there wasn't an empty seat in the press section. By 9:05, everyone was in place and the defendants were being brought in.Alex cam

The jury went out.Carlos brought Bella some coffee, and she drank half of it while standing in the corridor outside the gallery. Dr. Ajayi was nearby, still on a call. Lawyers moved in and out, journalists who had stayed behind talked quietly, and courthouse staff passed through the hallway carrying files.Eventually, Bella sat down on a bench.She took out her phone and stared at the screen without opening anything.There was nothing left to do now but wait.A court officer appeared at the end of the corridor and looked toward the people waiting.“The jury’s back,” he said.Bella stood up immediately.For a moment, nobody said anything. Then people around her started moving toward the courtroom.***The courtroom filled up quickly.All three defendants were brought back in. Alex came first. He sat beside his lawyer, unusually quiet, with nothing left to say.Evelyn came in next. Her clothes were still neat and her posture was still straight, but the confidence she had carried all we

By six a.m., the courtroom footage was everywhere.Almost every major news outlet had posted the moment Alex stood up, the judge shut him down twice, and Bella simply turned back to the prosecutor as if nothing had happened. Some of the headlines called it an “unraveling.” Others called it a “collapse.” One outlet had even used part of Alex's outburst as the entire headline.Bella read through a few of them while drinking her coffee, forwarded the most reasonable one to Dr. Ajayi, then put her phone down.She didn't feel like reading any more.Carlos came downstairs at six-forty.“You actually slept,” Carlos said as he came into the kitchen.Bella glanced up. “Yeah. First time in a while, honestly.”She pushed his coffee across the table toward him.“Dr. Ajayi’s calling at eight,” she added. “He said something’s happening before court.”Carlos picked up the mug. “Something? What kind of something?”“I don't know. He wouldn't tell me.” She took another sip of her coffee. “He just said

Bella was called to the witness stand at ten-fifteen.She got up from the gallery and walked to the front without looking toward the defence table. She'd already decided she wasn't going to look at Alex until she had to.She sat down, confirmed her name and her relationship to the case, then looked at the prosecutor.She was ready.The prosecutor started from the beginning. What the house had been like when Bella was growing up. What she'd seen as a child and later as a teenager. Her mother's habit of wearing long sleeves even when it was warm. The way her mother's whole mood seemed to change whenever Alex came home. Even the way she laughed sometimes, like she was making sure it was safe to laugh before she actually did.Bella answered each question as clearly as she could.She didn't try to make anything sound worse than it was. She just told them what she'd seen.Bella answered each question directly. She didn't try to make anything sound worse than it was. She just told them what

Six days passed.Bella kept herself busy through all of them. There were foundation meetings, grant reviews, the twins’ visit on Thursday, their pickup on Monday, and all the normal things that came with everyday life. She made a point of keeping her routine the same.She didn't want to spend every day thinking about the trial.It was coming, but it wasn't here yet. She refused to let something that was still days away take over every part of her life.For the most part, she managed.By Tuesday morning, she was at the courthouse by eight-fifteen.The public gallery was already much fuller than it had been during the pre-trial hearing. The news coverage had brought more attention to the case, and people who had been following the story had come to see what would happen when it finally reached trial.The press section was almost completely full, and more people were still coming in.Bella had barely made it through the entrance when Dr. Ajayi found her."Margaret is testifying today," h

Bella arrived at the courthouse at eight-forty.She hadn't told anyone she was coming. Not Carlos, not Diane, not even Helena. She'd made sure the twins were settled with Helena that morning, then drove into the city and walked up the courthouse steps alone.She didn't want anyone with her.This was something she needed to see for herself.There were already reporters waiting outside. About fifteen of them stood near the entrance, some holding cameras, others talking quietly as they watched the courthouse doors. A few turned as Bella approached, but she kept walking.Bella went through the public entrance and found a seat in the gallery before nine.The courtroom slowly filled around her. Reporters took their seats in the press section, while members of the public filled the remaining seats. Some had clearly been following the case and had come to see what it would look like now that everything was happening inside a courtroom.Dr. Ajayi was sitting two rows ahead. He noticed Bella, g

Bella sat on the edge of the bed, knees drawn up, with her arms wrapped tight around herself like she could hold the pieces together.The suite was too quiet now. No sounds but the faint hum of the city far below the windows and the echo of Lorenzo’s last words looping in her head.She stared at t

Bella’s fists clenched under the tablecloth until her nails bit into her palms. The room buzzed with a family gathering, lights glittering off crystal glasses and gold-rimmed plates, but the air felt suffocating. Alex Seneca, her father, the man who commanded boardrooms and headlines, leaned back

Bella sat on the edge of her bed, her mind racing.She didn’t stay long enough to reflect. She pushed herself up almost immediately, pacing a few steps before stopping again. Her fingers drummed against her thigh, restless, as she tried to think of something, anything that could help her.She pulle

Bella remained in the study, still standing there long after the door had closed.She couldn’t believe what her father had just said. The words kept replaying in her mind. Her chest felt tight, like the air had been sucked out of the room, leaving something heavy and suffocating behind.Evelyn was
