Lahat ng Kabanata ng YOU WILL NEVER BE MY GOD, FELIX.: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

🦋 FELIX 🦋Screams filled the hospital, and outside the hospital was joyful chaos as people screamed, laughed, and celebrated the fact that Benita opened her eyes.Social media was in a frenzy, and reporters filled the hospital trying to get a glimpse of Benita’s face.On the giant digital billboard, Benita’s face filled the screen. A news clip showed a reporter with a serious, hopeful expression. "After weeks in a coma," the voiceover said, "she's finally awake." Below it, a single line of text: "A miracle. ‘I just want my baby, give me my Felix’ is awake.”Scott, Greg, and I paraded the hallway, waiting for news of the surgery, when a surgeon came out after a fifteen-hour surgery.I rushed towards the doctor who had a frown on his face, “I'm sorry,” he said, and I froze, gawking at him, “The surgery… it was successful.”My knees buckled, and I fell to the ground, hitting my back on the wall as I covered my face with my hand, taking a deep breath.The doctor smiled and walked away…

🦋 BENITA CELESTINE 🦋I sat in a defender's chair in Court, with an eight-month bulging belly, Felix, Greg, and Scott sat in a distance to show support, my lawyer beside me, and the only person missing was Nikita, and I still don't know or guess why.“Is she ill?” I wondered.“Miss Benita, the family of Fred placed a charge against you for the death of Reyna Fred, who was shot to death on 08-09 this year. Is this correct?”“Yes, your honor,” I mumbled from where I sat.The prosecutor gets up and faces the judge, “Your honor, Reyna Fred was murdered, and the way I see it, Miss Benita here has a lot of reasons to kill her. It was stated in the case file that Reyna Fred has tried to kill her trice already, in the woods with a knife, kidnapped with bomb tied around her, the third attempt was a gun shot and I'm assuming Reyna walked into her house that day and tried to make peace with her, which Miss Benita didn't listen to and killed the lady, shooting her multiple times with a gun.”“Th

🦋 BENITA CELESTINE 🦋Felix, Greg, Scott, Nikita, my lawyer, and I sat at a round table, each staring at each other with nothing in mind to do or say.“So where do we go from here?” I blurted out, breaking the silence.“We have lost the footing on this case; it would be hard to save you from being hanged,” my lawyer stated truthfully.“Are you saying we are going to get hanged… to death?”“Yes. You confessed to everything in court; there's no saving you.”“From the very beginning, you took the case the wrong way. There would be no case if you had come out plain; it was self-defense. But now, it's a cold, aggravated murder,” Scott voiced, slapping his forehead dramatically.“Is there really no way to spin this around?” I asked, frustrated.“No! They want a murderer; we have to give them one,” the lawyer explained. “We can easily say you only did what you did because of the pressure of having your friend hanged. You only wanted to save her.”“She's my sister!” Nikita argued.“Whatever…

🦋 BENITA CELESTINE 🦋We watched strictly as the judge sat up in the chair for the umpteenth time since we started the case, looked at me, the prosecutor, and the entire court. My hands were clasped so tightly in my lap that my knuckles were white. My lawyer placed a reassuring hand on my arm, which Felix was gawking at with an expressionless face from where he sat.The judge cleared his throat, the sound amplified in the heavy silence. "Will the defendants please rise?"Nikita and I pushed ourselves to our feet, our legs trembling beneath us."Ms. Benita Celestine," the Judge began, his voice deep and measured, "You have been charged with one count of voluntary manslaughter in the death of Reyna Fred. The court has heard testimony from numerous witnesses and considered the arguments presented by both the prosecution and the defense."He paused, letting his gaze sweep across the room before settling once more on me. "The prosecutor has argued that your actions were coming from a poi

🦋 BENITA CELESTINE 🦋“Hidden Victims of Fred's bullying have raised their voices. The entire Fred family is said to be a psychopathic one. Mr. Fred himself is a dangerous person, as news of his mistress's death floods the media, not one or two, but each of the women he had an affair with all turn out dead at the end of their involvement together... About 50 women have been killed by him over the years. How the hell have all these been kept a secret from the world? No wonder he manages to give birth to two psychopathic twins; a fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.”My eyes were glued to the screen as the news with the headline, ‘Weeping victims who have lost their family to that family raised their voices’.Victim 1: My dad used to work there as a bodyguard. He was so strong, and although my mother left, he stayed to take care of me, until… he suddenly died, his organs were plucked out of his lifeless body when we found him. I thought he was taken by organ traffickers, but his organ
