The Law of Attraction

Chapter 591: Rot In Prison

At Department of Justice, Capital City

Daryl heaved a long sigh as he halted in front of the building. It was the day he would be able to see Kenzie after she quit working at Sy Law firm. It was the final day of the trial on those men who wanted to rape Kenzie, and he was present as one of the important eye-witnesses of the case involving the drugging and attempted r*pe of Kenzie by three men in the party.

The entire case should have ended weeks ago but one of the perpetrators was rushed to the hospital when he suddenly fell ill. It was but just a tactic to delay the trial for a few days to try to negotiate for an out-of-the-court settlement on the case with Kenzie and her family, but they failed miserably.

How many days had it been since he last met Kenzie? He wondered how she restrained herself from bullying him for so long, it had been a week and two days already since Kenzie left his office and didn\'t come back to pester him.

Daryl patiently waited in the room until he was finally called inside the courtroom to give his testimony and was asked to be on the stand as a witness. His eyes swept around the courtroom and paused on the person he so wished to see from the last so many days.

He realized how much he had grown used to having her around. As soon as his eyes landed on her the only one he saw after that was Kenzie, sitting on the side of the victim with her lawyer Sarah beside her. She gave him her usual smile as she found him looking at her when he entered the courtroom and he smiled back.

He honestly missed her smiles… He creased his forehead, noticing the dark circles under Kenzie\'s eyes, indicating she wasn\'t sleeping well. She looked worn out as well and he could not help but worry if she was really doing well like what Kimmy said when he called and asked her about Kenzie.

He was assisted to sit at the center, facing the judge as he took the oath to tell only the truth. Soon Sarah stood up and began with her questions for him.

"Your honor, as I said, Mr. Daryl Cha here is the one who saved Ms. Kenzie from the three accused who tried to rape her…" Sarah started before she turned to Daryl and asked, "Mr, Cha, please tell us everything in detail about that night when you went to pick Ms. Kenzie.

What did you witness at the party that day, what happened there, and your reaction after that? Give as many details as you remember from the moment you arrived at the party where you found Ms. Kenzie Chua," Sarah said.

"Yes…" Daryl nodded his head and started speaking. He elaborated on what happened the moment he arrived, from the start not missing any single detail of what he witnessed.

"Those scumbags were wearing nothing on their bodies and were removing Kenzie\'s clothes when I arrived in that room. I was filled with rage seeing her in such a state and when I tried to talk out with them to let her go without any fuss they attacked me as well, saying I should leave since they were still not finished with Kenzie."

"How about Kenzie Mr. Cha? How was Kenzie\'s condition at that moment?" Sarah asked next.

"She was so weak and crying, begging them to not do anything, but because of the fact that she was drugged she couldn\'t even move her body at all…" Daryl could not help but gritted his teeth in anger as his sharp eyes glared at the three men at the other side who almost succeeded in raping Kenzie that night.

The defendant\'s side kept on objecting to Daryl\'s statement including the pieces of evidence Sarah was presenting but the judge overruled them several times as the evidence put forth were strong and they even had the CCTV footage showing those men taking Kenzie away forcefully, in drugged condition, with them towards the room.

The entire trial went smoothly as all evidence put forward by Sarah was very strong and in favor of Kenzie making the case stronger as Sarah called a few more witnesses to prove her allegations. Sarah presented all the pieces of evidence and luckily managed to get all the copies of the CCTV footage of the house with the help of Daryl before the other party could destroy it.

The three men were proved guilty and sentenced to a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for sexual assault. Two women, who were part of the circle of elite women Kenzie used to hang out with, were also sentenced to 2 years as accomplices plus everyone required to pay the fines.

Kenzie stood up and Kimmy helped her out. She still had a cast on her ankle but she was already familiarized with her crutches now.

When the criminals were escorted by the police, one of Kenzie\'s friends tried to beg her desperately and said, "Kenzie, please… It was just a small prank that we played on you that went complicated… I didn\'t mean to..."

Kenzie looked at her with a wry smile and said, "Bear with the consequence of the prank you two made. Did you even realize what would have happened had those men succeeded in their plans? What would you feel after being in the same position as I was that day? Be grateful that I have spared the two of you and didn\'t accuse you as one of the main culprits and you are given just a minimum sentence of two years."

One of the men laughed and said, "You bitch. Just wait and see once I come out of prison… I will catch you and crush you under me."

Kenzie had a mocking smile as she leered, "Scary… Try your best then to come out as*hole. By the way, I have heard that the prison is a really scary place for criminals like you! You\'ll be really a lucky basta*d if you are able to stay there unscathed or come out alive? Good luck staying unscathed after 20 years..."

Kenzie even acted as if she felt the chill in her body thinking about what all he would go through in there looking at his behind before she turned around and walked away to leave the courtroom.
