Chapter 165: Chapter 165
Elvis was very persuasive in his speech, he kept looking at the faces of everyone, without actually apportioning blame at anyone.
"Sandra here. Have been through a rough life, which made her traumatized, and it is sad that no one noticed that she was traumatized, and only hiding behind the facade of a personal assistant to the Apple CEO.
No one noticed that she always changes at some points, causing her to look like she is lost, only to recall herself later.
No one noticed that the history between she and doctor Bobby have eaten up into her, that she wanted love by all means.
No one, noticed she developed multiple personality disorder, inorder to fight those who hurt her.
From what we have seen so far, and heard so far from Doctor Bobby, he abused her, when she was only a teenager. He came into their lives, as their friend, their uncle, someone the family could look up to, but without her parents knowledge, he was sleeping with her.
Her father, was too busy, trying to meet up, in the world, and in the society, that he didn't know, that his daughter is being constantly abused, and that is one of the result of not having a mother around.
As if that was not enough, her father too had to die, even before she turned Eighteen, and from what we have heard, from the horse himself, he was the one that orchestrated the murder, just so he would be quiet, the same way, he tries to kill his own family, because of what they know, he was doing to his daughter".
Vicky shook in her seat, but Brainy was there to hold her down, and then she felt another hand holding her on the other side, she looked up and it was Browny, they were both there to show her support.
I am not saying that my client shouldn't be punished, she has done so many terrible things, but all I am asking, is to tamper justice with Mercy.
See her as your daughter, see her as your sister, see her as your wife, see her as your friend.
she would never have done any of the things she did, if only she got a better life. She would never have done any of the things she did, if only she got guidance, she would never have done any of the things she did, if only, she got help from a rehab, but she was lost, she never even had a boyfriend before, she was all alone, but it is never too late to get help. She could start her treatments, so she gets her personalities in order, then she could go for rehab, where she will get all the help she needs, all she needs right now, is help.
Please help her.
Her story that will be shared, can help another soul out there who is going through something similar to hers.
Her story, can change the life of another. Let us share her story, not her death".
He bowed his head and went back to his seat, and everywhere went silent, Elvis had said it all, Sandra couldn't help, but reflect on all he had said, and the way he had said it as though he had been there.
She allowed her tears drop, and quickly tries to hide it, before the judge, who had seen it called out to her.
"Miss Sandra, do you have anything to say? She looked up at her, and then at every other person seated, her eyes met with Vicky, She doesn't know why what she had taken isn't working, she should be out by now, she wants to die, she doesn't want to have to live, to be sent to death.
Looking at Vicky, she realized, she had made a mistake, by trying to take her own life.
she too have suffered the same fate, and her father is just by the corner, waiting to be sentenced to death, she wants to do something right, but she doesn't want to blame Bobby, as Elvis have demanded, she doesn't even want to be with Elvis, as she had planned, she doesn't deserve to live, more than Bobby. It is better she takes her life, so no one remembers her impact in their lives.
She started in a better way, a way she feels is better, even for her own peace of mind.
She wiped her tears and sniffed in the mucus that was about to find its way down.
" Yes I have something to say, and that is forgiveness.
Even if I am going to be sentenced to death, I want to believe in my heart, that I have been forgiven. I regret everything I did, I wish I never did all those things, I don't blame doctor Bobby, he too might have a story, behind his behaviour, but I am not interested in that, I am more interested in forgiveness, and I forgive him, even for killing my father.
I am asking the Anderson's to please forgive me for all the pains I put you all through, I really should have done better, but I chose worse, just forgive me.
I still have nightmares from my childhood. My life was almost perfect, before my mother left, and then I had to live with my father, who was trying really hard to make sure that I have everything I need, but then he died too.
Life became rough, but now, I think I have finally seen one thing I have been looking for all my life.
I have seen love. I never thought someone will still love me and want to fight for me, at this time in my life, but I have seen that one person and I am willing to give and forgive, because everyone deserves love". She was looking at Elvis while talking, and he looked happy, that she understood him, he had never really agreed to be her lawyer for money, he loved her, and that was why he came into her life, hoping to get into her in a different way.
Her tears was dropping profusely like the rain, her heart was heavy, she was drowning in a whirlwind of emotions. Whenever she blinks, it is as though her tears didn't drop, it pours.
Gradually her heart sank, and she could feel a sudden pain burn her from inside.
The court house was oddly quiet, and everyone was waiting to hear what the judge would say, but she seem to want to hear from others, so she called Lady Anderson instead, asking her what she thinks of everything. She got up without hesitation.
"Sandra was like a child to me. I would have recommended her for my grandson, if only he loves her, but I noticed early enough, that he was deeply inlove with someone else, to which I totally agree, but when she started acting up, I guess she just hurt us all, but we hold no grudge against her, and this is not sentiment, we really hold no grudge against her, and all the cases against her, from our side, is dropped, never to resurface again".
There was a loud uproar of hands in the court house, the judge knew she would say the right thing, and that was why she called her, she turned to her husband and he affirmed, for they had discussed it before coming out.
Craig and Samantha also affirms, as they stood nodding their head, and clapping, just then Sandra fell to the ground and fainted.
The chaos that follows was expected. Elvis held her close, begging her to wake up, but she wasn't waking up, Vicky touched her pulse, and she declared her dead.
