Chapter 131

Serena's PovThe loud crack of the gavel echoed through the courtroom causing me to freeze for a moment."Order!" the judge bellowed, eyes sweeping the room.My legs trembled, but I pushed myself forward. For a moment, the faces blurred, Liana looked stunned, Stanley's mouth dropped and Dominic scowled frozen in surprise. My heart pounded in my ears, but I forced myself to breathe. "Serena?" Liana's voice cracked, incredulity and fear twisted in them. "What are you doing here?"I steadied myself on the back of the wooden chair before me. "Don't worry," I said, attempting to sound as composed as possible. "I've got this."The other lawyer sprang up immediately, his finger pointing at me as if I were a threat. "Your Honor, this is highly wrong! This lady does not belong here, she's unstable and unfit to testify."His words hurt, but I stood my ground.The judge's gaze landed on me, ominous and interrogative.

Liana's PovI stood in front of the mirror, barely recognizing myself. The dress was pristine white, simple and yet lovely, its lace sleeves brushing against my arms as though they were trying to remind me that I was finally allowed to live in light.
