They Saved Me From Traffickers; I Returned the Favor in Blood Chapter 10
A few days later, the trial officially began. The lawyer Naomi hired delivered a passionate defense on my behalf. By the end of it, people in the gallery were wiping away tears.Then, the judge looked at me. "Defendant, stand up. Was everything your lawyer just said true?"I stayed silent for a moment. Under Kylie and Naomi's hopeful gazes, I slowly shook my head."No," I denied. "I poisoned them because I was jealous they had another son. As for the whole story about an evil deity, I made it up. I just wanted a lighter sentence."The courtroom erupted. Kylie and Naomi both stood up as they stared at me in disbelief."Silas, tell the truth! As long as you tell the truth, we can win this!" Naomi roared.The judge looked at me again. "Defendant, are you certain that what you just said is the truth?"I nodded. "Absolutely."The verdict came quickly after the trial ended. It was the death penalty.I accepted it. Naomi couldn't.She kept searching for lawyers and tried to file a

Kylie froze at my explanation. "Your brother was innocent. Why did you kill him?"I shook my head. "He wasn't my brother anymore. To sustain that thing, it needed a host. So they chose my brother. That's how their luck kept improving."As he grew up, that thing took over his mind completely. He became someone else." I sighed. "The statue in the basement is empty now. Whatever they were worshipping has already left. My brother was long dead."Naomi couldn't take it anymore. She shot to her feet and slammed her fist against the wall.No one made a sound. Some of the officers had already begun to tear up."So much suffering for one person."After revealing everything, I felt like a weight had finally been lifted. "That's what you wanted to know. They only brought me back home because they realized something was wrong with my brother. They were scared and wanted me to shield them from the curse. I've got nothing else to say now."Even Kylie was holding back tears. She took a long br

"She didn't see me. Instead, she joined my mom on the couch and started chatting," I revealed. "That's when I realized that the trafficker who kidnapped me was actually my mom's friend. My kidnapping was something she allowed."The moment I dropped the truth, Naomi shot to her feet. "That's bullshit! Do you think you can just make things up to win people over? You're still a murderer!"She turned to Kylie. "Captain Larson, don't believe a word this piece of trash says!""Ms. Walker, this is your final warning. Be quiet," Kylie commanded.Naomi sat back down. Her fists were clenched tight."Aunt Naomi, I had the same reaction as you're having now. I thought my mom must've been tricked. That she didn't know anything," I said with a bitter chuckle. "That was until I heard her tell the trafficker to be careful. That I might recognize her if I saw her."Tears welled up in my eyes. "I realized that my parents were responsible for half of my suffering. They sold me on purpose."Gasps r

"I had no choice but to lock him in the pigsty and give him barely enough food," Maggie said."Later on, a group of bachelors in the village found out I bought a boy from the city. They couldn't afford wives, so they came to me, asking if they could pay to use him."She hesitated for a second, then muttered, "I figured it didn't interfere with anything else, so I just let—"Before she could finish, someone slammed their hand on the table and shot to their feet. "You're disgusting! He was barely a teenager!"Maggie shrank into her seat. She was too scared to say another word.I sat rigid, my brow knotted.Kylie glanced at me, then asked in a low voice, "What happened after that?""After that, he got older. I thought he could finally start working for me, but he was clumsy. Not only couldn't he help, but he kept ruining the fields. I got so angry that I had him go back to what he used to do…"After finishing her sentence, she took two quick steps back. "I know you're all angry, b

"You guys heard what this monster just said, right?" Naomi screamed. "He's not even human. He's a devil in human skin! My brother and his wife must be the world's unluckiest couple to end up with a son like this!"I didn't react. "Can you lock me up now? I'm really tired. I want to sleep.""You sick animal!" one of the officers snapped at me.Kylie turned and glared at him. Then, she faced Naomi. "Ms. Walker, if you keep interrupting the interrogation, I'll have to ask you to leave. I understand you've just lost your family, but you still need to cooperate with the investigation."The room fell silent again. The male officer taking notes looked confused. "Captain Larson, what else is there to ask? Silas has already confessed his motive and method. We can close the case.""Can we?" she asked calmly. "There's one more witness we haven't brought in yet. Let's wait until she arrives."I raised an eyebrow. "Who else could there be?"Just then, the interrogation room door opened. An o

The case seemed to hit a dead end. Kylie's eyes stayed fixed on my face as she studied me. It looked like she was trying to decide whether I was telling the truth.After a moment, she sat back down. Her expression returned to its usual calm."Silas, let's talk about the time you were trafficked."My movements paused for a split second. Something deep inside me rattled, but nothing showed on my face."What's there to talk about? I was sold to an old widow in the mountains," I said, gaze drifting somewhere far away. "She was afraid I'd run, so she kept me chained in a pigsty. I ate, slept, and lived there. Her daughter was mentally disabled. She wanted me to get her pregnant."I let out a mocking laugh. "Maybe I was too young, or maybe it was something else, but I never got her pregnant."The officers who had been glaring at me now looked conflicted. They hadn't expected a past like that."After going through that, didn't you want to go home?" Kylie asked, her gaze deepening.I n
