I gasped, shocked as he pulled me to his lap in the wheelchair, roughly. “M.mr. K.king,” I stutter, afraid and surprised.

All my life I was a spoiled brat girl but in one night, in just one mistake nagbago lahat. Nakita ko ang pag hakbang nito palayo, ngunit bago pa man siya makaalis ay nagsalita muna ito. "You have no choice Akira, its either abort that child or marry Mr. Briar." "WHAT?" Sa sobrang gulat ay napasigaw ako at napatayo, napahinto naman si tita Belle. Lumingon ito sakin na parang nagtatanong kung bakit ako sumigaw. "A-anong si Mr. Briar?" "Yes, Mr. Reigh Briar. You know him right? Sila ang number 1 kalaban ng pamilya natin this coming election, so kung maikakasal ka sa kanya, you'll be staying there and be our spy." "Pero—" "No buts Akira." may diing sabi nito at tuluyan ng umalis. Si Reigh? Sa lahat ng lalaki si Reigh pa talaga? Why him?

A little over a month pregnant, I was happily looking forward to my wedding—until my fiance teamed up with my parents and brothers to put me on trial at the Court of Justice. They fabricated charge after charge, hoping to have me executed in the name of the law. If the judge found me guilty, I would be sentenced to death on the spot. Once I was dead, my corneas would be transplanted into my adopted sister, and everything I owned—my assets and insurance—would be claimed by them. Faced with my fiance’s betrayal and my family’s treachery, I fought back. I demanded the judge use the latest medical technology to extract my memories and project them on the big screen, letting the judge and hundreds of public jurors decide my fate. Just as everyone was smugly certain of their victory, the truth revealed by my memories moved the entire courtroom to tears.
