Chapter 56

Anna's POV

The last few days felt like bliss. Everybody was ecstatic when known about the sudden proposal. Sophia and mom are going crazy with wedding planning and not to forget Mia and Ava. Zach has been by my side all the time. His constant pampering and attention have made me feel like a baby again, but who am I to complain. Hazel's chemotherapy is working effectively, destroying the abnormal blood cells, but it has its drawback. Her body is getting weaker, and her once gorgeous hair is now starting to fall.

It's difficult to witness the pain she is enduring alone and how I wish every day that God should have chosen me to bear all that pain instead of my daughter.

Like the big family, we have, and the support and love they are showing to her have been helping boost her courage. And like the supergirl she is. She is all smiling and waiting for her surgery with a strong determination.

After all the chaos and drama that we have been through, all thanks to Emily. Now it's our turn to pay her back with interest. Zach and I are on our way to the Supreme Court. Mason, Mia, and Nick following on the other car.

"What's occupying this pretty head of yours?" Zach's sweet voice pulled me from my thoughts. His fingers rubbing my shoulder while my head is press against his chest.

"Stuff," I inhaled his masculine scents that claim my nerves.

"If things were normal right now, I would have stolen you for a whole month and went for a much-needed vacation." I chuckled at his dreamy wish.

I left my head, sitting straight on my back, "And what about our kids? Are you not planning to take them with us?" I questioned, curious about his wish.

"I'm sure they don't mind spending some time with their grandparents, and Besides, I'm sure they would love a new addition to the family." He winked at the last sentence, inching his face closer to my flushed one. "I love when your cheeks glow red, want me to bite them," I shudder at his bold words, his fingers stroking my hot cheeks.

"Zach..." his name fell out of my lips as a whisper against his lips.

"Fuck baby! I might take you right here if you keep moaning my name like that." He mumbled before taking my lips in a passionate kiss. With my arms snaking behind his neck, he pulled me on his lap. Thank god, Zach has already lifted the privacy glass that helped to ease our moan and groan filled with passion and love.

We both moved away panting for oxygen after the long make-out session. Zach adjusted his pants while I pulled my compact applying another coat of lipstick, and fixed my slightly messy hair.

Mike pulled the car over and rushed to open our door. Not more than a second later Mason pulled his car, and the three of them walked our way. The constant clicking from the paparazzi and their questions floated in the air. The guards were blocking their way and thanks to them as I don't think am ready to deal with their stupid questions right now anyway.

"Let's end this, once and for all," Mason states with a quick exhale.

Zach held my hand tightly and gave me an encouraging smile. The five of us made our way inside the building.

When we reached the entrance of the main hall. A lean man in a grey suit was standing there waiting for us.

"Zach," he acknowledged our presence and shook his hand with Zach and Mason.

'Danny. This is Anna Brown my finance. Anna this is Danny Miller our lawyer." Zach introduced us and I shook his hand, giving him a polite smile.

"Pleasure to meet you, Miss Brown."

"Pease, call me Anna, and these are my friends. Mia and Nick." They share a nod and Danny gestures us to follow him inside the hall.

We took our seat in the front row and soon the other side of the door got open and enter Emily with her handcuffed held by two female cops. Her hair is greasy and looked dirty. Bags and dark circles under her once pride fill eyes. She looked miserable. If not aware of her deeds one might sympathize with her state but not me. The head of the cop and his associates followed right behind him and stood at the left side of the judging panel.

The jury members were arranged at the opposite of the wall.

Emily walked past us and sat on the dock. Her eyes found us staring back at her. Her lips twitched in a frown when she stares at Zach's hand intertwined with mine.

"I want to kill her right now," I gripped Zach's upper arm, smoothing his rage.

"Me too Zach but we have to control our emotions, hmmm?" He nodded his head inhaling a deep breath.

At the announcement of the justice, we stood up. We took our seats and the procedure begins.

"Your honour, We are here for the final verdict of the case against Emily Roberts. As I have submitted the proof against Miss Roberts, for Kidnapping, Murder, Attempt to murder, crucifixion. Our main witness is the head of NewYork Cop, Miss Anna Brown, Mr Zach Kight and Mr Mason Walker, and ten other police members. We have the written statement of Miss Tanya while she was getting required treatment at the hospital. Miss Roberts is a crazy woman who is a huge danger to our society and people like her deserve worse. I now rest my case, your honour." Danny bowed his head before taking his seat.

"So say you all?" The judge asked the jury members their opinion.

"Being the voice of the jury we have found Miss Emily Roberts guilty and request our honourable judge to provide justice to the entire Knight family. Thank you." One of the jury members answered on the behalf of everyone.

"After reviewing every proof and the statement from the eye witness this court has come to a conclusion that Miss Emily Roberts was involved in many crimes such as Kidnapping two adults and two kids and an attempt to murder as well as a hired hitman to commit murder of Mrs Maria Knights. According to the judicial law of the United States of America, Miss Roberts is found guilty and this court sentences her to death. The court is adjourned for the day."

"No!" Emily roared, cursing the judge. "You old piece of shit. How dare you? And You?" She turned our way her eyes filled with rage. The cops held her tightly when she tried to rush towards us.

"Miss. Roberts! Behave yourself." The judge announced in a strict tone, but she doesn't give a shit about what he was saying.

"It's all cause of you bitch. You stole everything from me you dirty little whore." I winced at her words.

"It's all you Emily. You created your own hell and now it's time to rot in there till death comes to you. And don't you dare call me names or else I might forget where I am and rip your tongue out." I am respecting the boundaries of the court and don't want to make a scene here or I would have choked her to death right here.

Four years ago if somebody has asked me about killing someone I might have turned pale but now after what she did to me and my kids I won't think twice before choking her to death. I guess that's the power of motherly love. It makes you do anything for the love and safety of your kids.

She roared again and the cops dragged her out of the hall.

"Congratulations. Mr Knight." The head of the cop said and left after shaking his hand with Zach.

"Finally the bitch is out of our life," Mia took a dramatic breath earning laughter from all of us.

"Thanks, Danny." Zach shook his hand.

"It's my job Zach and besides it was an open and shut case. A piece of cake." He collected his files and briefcase after glancing at his watch, "I have an important meeting so, I shall take my leave." We nodded our heads and thank him again before walking out of the building.

"God! I'm famished. Let's go somewhere to eat," Mia suggested dragging Nick's arm.

"Patience, sweety. Let's go to a taco bar."

"You hungry?" Zach asked to which I nodded rubbing my stomach. "let's take care of your hungry mice in there." I chuckled when he tickle my stomach and opened the car door for me.

"Aren't you hungry?" I asked.

"I am but for something entirely different." It was too late to process what he said because the next thing I know I was on his lap and his lips were on mine.

Thanks to the person who invented privacy glass...
