Chapter 121: Chapter 121

On the day Craig was to appear in court, for the first time, Samantha pleaded that she goes with him, but he refused, saying she should stay home with their baby, that he was still too tender, to be left alone with domestic staffs.

"He is already a month old, he can be left with his big sister and others. Please I want to be there for you". She sounded as though she was going to cry.

Craig didn't have a choice, he clearly cannot say no to her, not when she gives him such look. He thought hard, before shrugging his shoulders, and had to agree on the condition that she comes with him, including Whitney and Mary, who will help look after him in the car outside, Incase she needs to feed him.

It sounds more like a family outing, just that, they are not going out to have fun, they were going out to nail someone or be nailed.

Samantha could not explain why Craig was being calm with the issue, she knows that if he doesn't want to appear in court, or do any of the things he was asked to do, he could, but he wants to follow every proceeding, which was already giving him a positive look in the world.

So far, he had been charged to pay her a certain amount, but his lawyer was able to win against her, stating that there was no evidence, that he actually slept with her, apart from the fact that they bithbwole up on the bed Naked. It was her word, against his.

Netizens were already saying wonderful things about Craig, and pointing fingers at Sandra, calling her all sort of names, while others supports her, saying Craig was telling lies, that he had been dating Sandra before now, only for him to leave her for his teacher, and just because his teacher isn't available to be with him at the party, he got too drunk, that he didn't know when he went to bed, with his assistant.

A lot was going on, but doing the right thing was what Craig wants.

When they got to court, it was a private one, the lawyers, the accused and the defendant, and any other witness they would want to bring along with them.

"We are sorry you got the wrong letter sir Craig, we just didn't want too many pictures and stories to be told about this, and it was Sandra's idea, she says, it might be bad for your career". When Craig and his lawyer heard what was said, he shook his head, then turned to Sandra and looked her in the eye, for the first time, since their drama started and said.

"Thank you so much for being very considerate, but I really would love the world to know just how bad I am, and how good you are.

I will love it for the world to follow me in the proceedings, so that if I loose, it will be seen as fair, and if I win, it will also be seen as fair judgement.

My Lord ( He turned to the judge) This act, can bring you down, bringing me for a private gathering, when it was supposed to be a public one, is not so good for your status, so if you know what is best, it would be right, for us all to go out, so the courtroom can allow all that wants to enter and hear us, do that". The judge didn't argue with him, he got up and walked out, while an attendant, announced the time they should wait for.

Craig kept shaking his head, for what seem like forever, while Sandra was busy watching him, scared that somehow, he must have something up his sleeve, for him to be acting the way he is acting, but she also has something up her sleeve, Incase, Juliet have doubled cross her, she would know what to do, she is just waiting for the last time, to drop the bomb she came to court with.

After a while, they were all called in, so that the court proceedings could properly begin.

There was a lot of argument going on between the both lawyers, for the defendant and the accused, after a long battle, the two were called upon.

First the judge asked Craig why he wanted it all to be public, instead of private.

"I didn't want anything done in private, because I believe in the law, I also want to know what happened that very day, and if I am still blank on that, and the law can help me find the answers I seek, I really don't need a short cut to it.

Also, when things are done in secret, some may feel that it didn't go well, which is also what I am avoiding.

Today I am here with my wife, my one month old son and my daughter, and we are all here, to see the end of it all". He says and it was as though the court became an entertainment ground, as the crowd applauded him, before they were called to order.

Then Sandra was called upon to tell the court, why she wanted the case to take a private Dimension. She look around, to see a bunch of angry looking faces. They hate her, she didn't need anyone to tell her differently.

"Just like my formal boss, I would have wanted it all to go public, but I thought against it, and wanted it private, because my name is also involved, and the world is only looking at just one part of the entire case, and not see that I am also hurt.

The world does not see that I am facing stigmatism. I wanted it to be private, because I have a special announcement to make, I wanted it to be private, to save him from the blow, but since he had brought it this way, I guess I should go ahead and tell the world.

I would have thought that after the compensation, I could just go away, and never look back.

I wanted to go away and start my life somewhere else, where no one knows me, and I wanted to go away with my secret. (She started to sob) but now, I will make it public". She brought out a white envelope, and showed it to them all. It was an evidence, to show that she is carrying his child.

Yes, I am pregnant, with his baby, as a result of what happened that night.

Samantha stood up and a tear dropped. Craig turned to look at her, and could see that she was hurt, though she was trying to be strong, Mary helped her get back to her seat, but she was clearly hurt and heart broken.

So Craig really had sex with her that night. Was the only thing she could think of.
