Amelia and Luna’s eyes widened while Liam’s blood ran cold hearing his sister’s words. They stared at

the crying girl.

“But Ms. Stone that man tried to assault you and --”

“I lied. I lied about everything. He did nothing. Harry. The man your calling with those names is

innocent. I am the culprit here. He’s innocent.”

She said everything ending her words only in a whisper. Luna gasped placing her hand on her lips in

shock. While Amelia and Liam froze. But Rose didn’t stop there.

“That man in his whole life did nothing except to respect even the one who hurt him. I lied that night.

Everything was a lie. He didn’t even touch me. I am the one who did everything. He’s innocent.”

Everyone was silent and breathing hard. This was something unexpected. They didn’t expect this. How

already ended case can take this type of turn. Seeing Rose’s lawyer frozen. Mr. Mathews Harry’s

lawyer took things in his hands.

“So Ms. Stone. Would you like to explain everything? What exactly happened and why did you lie.”

Rose nodded her head wiping her tears using the back of her hand but tears were still streaming down. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I was only 7 years old when my mother got married for the second time. I was too small to think about

anything. I accepted everything. I got an amazing brother protective father and a loving mother. I didn’t

ask for anything till I turned 11 years old.”

She stopped taking a deep breath. It was hard to accept the truth but she has to do it for him. For

someone, she exclaimed to love.

“Brother got married to Amelia sister. Again I got the best sister in law. She loved me like her sister and

I didn’t ask for more. I was more than grateful. I met Harry one-two times but that time it was nothing. I

only look at him as sister Amelia’s brother nothing else but then suddenly I started getting bullied at

school.”

Liam’s eyes widened hearing her words and Luna as well gasped in shock at the discovery.

“I don’t know how and why. But I was being bullied badly. Day by day bullying started getting worst. It

was that day when I thought that I should tell my brother everything because it was hard for me to cope

with their excessive bullying.”

“I went to brother to talk to him but he was busy. Extremely busy. I even saw Amelia sister being so

worried about his health so I decided to not stress him more. That time I wasn’t close to Amelia sister

so I had no strength to confess to her.”

“Why not tell your mother.” Mr Mathews questioned making her chuckle a little.

“She would have stopped school and my studies. If I had told her that one guy touched me only to

punch me she would have cared more about that guy touching me than punching me. Her being

extremely religious.”

Her words made Luna look down as well as Liam having a full idea that she wasn’t lying.

“I didn’t want to stop studying neither do I want to stress brother so I decided to endure their bullying for

time being. But then it happened. That day one of my bully was ready to slap me when a hand of my

saviour came stopping his actions. It was from Harry.”

A small smile appeared on her tear-stained face as she remembered that day.

“He saved me. He asked me about everything I told him. He pressurized me to tell everything to

brother but I refused to tell him that my brother is already stressed I don’t want to add more in it. Finally

giving up he promised me that he will protect me. And he did.”

Amelia’s lips curved into a small proud smile for her brother while Liam was drowning in guilt second by

second.

“Slowly our friendship started becoming deep. I started admiring him and God knows when that

admiration turned into love. I started loving him.”

She stopped for a second as her smile fade away and sadness covered her features.

“He introduced me to his girlfriend Kelly. I was 15 at that time. I didn’t think twice and confessed my

love for him. He was shocked which was justified. He convinced me that I am too young and also he

never looked at me in that way. He loves me but as a friend nothing else.”

“I was heartbroken. But then I decided to do as he wants. I started avoiding him which did affect him. I

stopped talking to him. I even asked my mother to change my school and my brother did. I built an

immense distance between us almost turning him into a stranger again. But nothing happened 1 year

went by but his love was too deeply buried inside me that I just couldn’t get rid of it. But still, I did

nothing except to wait for him to leave my heart and soul.”

She licked her lips when her voice started cracking again. All of the people were listening to her

carefully.

“Then I again met him. He asked me desperately that why am I avoiding him so much. I answered him

that I am just doing what you asked. I thought just maybe. Just maybe he thought of me. My avoidance

might have affected him but he did what only broke me more. He left and never looked back. He

stopped making efforts to talk to me like he was encouraging me to forget him. But I couldn’t. My heart

refused to do so.”

Tears again started to stream down to her face like rain as she tried to control her sobs.

“At my 17th birthday, I couldn’t take the distance I gave up. I called him and asked him to meet me. And

he happily said he will come. I messaged him as well where I told him how his distance is killing me

and how depressed I am. He finally came that night.”

Flashback. (The night Rose accused Harry.)

Without thinking twice I ran in his arms hugging him tightly. He chuckled returning my hug. I inhaled his

scent after God knows how long. I missed him so much.

“Are you done with your avoidance huh?” He questioned playfully. But I only tighten my grip on him

afraid of losing him.

“I can’t do this anymore Harry. I can’t stay away from you. I can’t.” I whispered against his chest as he

chuckled again.

“I missed you and your demands too princess. Now I think it’s better if we stop this game hmm. You’re

a big girl now.” He said caressing her hair.

“Yes, I am a big girl now. Now, will you accept me? I love you, Harry. I tried moving on but I couldn’t

please give me a chance. Please I love you. I love you so much. Please.” I was harshly pulled back in a

second by a tight grip on my arms.

“What is wrong with you Rose. I am engaged to Kelly. I thought in these 2 years you finally had gotten

off your childish crush but no your still stuck there. Grow up Rose and accept it. I love Kelly. My fiance.

Stop throwing yourself on me.”

Harry seethed on my face tightly squeezing my arms. I let the tears graced my cheeks as I stared into

his grey eyes telling me that everything he just confessed was the truth.

“Why. Why can’t you see that I love you too? You have no idea how hard I spent these 2 years away

from you. I am asking for one chance. Please just one chance. I can treat you better than that woman.

Please.”

“SHUT UP ROSE. JUST STOP THIS MADNESS.” He yelled pushing me away ruffling his hair in

frustration.

“Rose I do love you but--” I interrupted him as anger started flooding in my veins.

“BUT AS A FRIEND,” I said raising my voice.

“But why don’t you understand that I love you more than that. Please Harry I can change according to

your wish. Just give me a chance.” I again begged him and this time he looked at me with disgust

stabbing me in my gut.

“Stop being so desperate Rose. I told you many times that you will find a better man who will love you. I

love kelly. I am hers. Just stop this. This will only ruin you and if you kept on being so crazy this might

end hurting others as well. Stop this.”

I stared at him heartbroken once again. I wiped my tears using my sleeves.

“You love her so much why. Tell me what she has that I don’t. I am here compromising on my dignity

every second just for you. I am here begging for one chance while she did nothing to earn your love.

WHY WHY WHY.” I yelled at him making him shock this time.

My breathing started accelerating as I was going out of my mind. I can’t accept this. What that woman

has that I don’t. Why he loves her so much and not me. Why. I clenched my hair in anger.

“Rose. Princess relax. Listen t--”

“Harry. Babe where are you.” We both froze hearing Kelly’s voice.

“You brought her here,” I asked him in disbelief. He gulped trying to say something.

“You brought her here when this night. My birthday night was supposed to be for us. You love breaking

me right. Fine, then you hurt me so much now it’s your turn.”

I was out of my mind now. He brought her here. He was hurting me on purpose. He was doing this all

just to break me more.

I didn’t think of anything and slightly ripped my shirt revealing my collarbone and shoulders. I then

ripped my sleeves messing my hair. I didn’t know what was I doing. I just wanted to punish him for

breaking me again and again.

“Stop this Rose. I SAID STOP.” He tried grabbing my arms but I kept screaming clutching my hair

crazily.

Finally, he held my arms but in trying to harshly push him away I stepped back rapidly ending up on the

sofa. In all of this, he also ended up above me.

And in a second the door got slammed open revealing Kelly.

Flashback ended.

Amelia’s hands trembled as she cried silently. A tear escaped from Liam’s eyes hearing the truth while

Luna closed her eyes in disgust. Disgust for her daughter. How can she do this? How.

“Continue Ms. Stone,” Judge commanded when everyone including Mr. Mathews was frozen.

“Kelly took everything in the wrong way. Mother came down. She was asleep but after all my yelling

she woke up. Everyone thought that Harry tried raping me. And I took that chance to make him mine. I

thought maybe just maybe he accept to marry me and then I will redeem that vicious act of mine but

everything went wrong when Amelia sister asked to go to court. Brother also did what she said and

everything indeed got destroyed just like Harry warned.”

She choked on her every word crying hard. She continued clutching the wooden railing on the witness

box.

“I love him. I do but I don’t know when that love turned into an obsession when I started craving for his

presence more than his happiness. I don’t know when. These 9 months there wasn’t a moment when I

didn’t regret what I caused. I ruined my own loving brother’s happiness. I ruined his happily married life.

I made him divorce the love of his life. I.I. I ruined the one I exclaimed to love so much. I.I”

She burst out crying harder. Her knees wobble. It was hard for her to stand. To confess the ruination

she has caused.

“I don’t even deserve to say sorry. I don’t. How can I say that I love that man? That man who is my

saviour. My protector. I am ashamed. I am disgusted with my self. Please punish me. Give me as big

as punishment you can. But please stop accusing him. He’s innocent. Please.”

She whispered dropping her head down even more. Her tears fell rapidly same as Amelia and Luna

while Liam was frozen. He couldn’t believe his ears. His sister lied. His innocent little girl lied. When did

that fairy become a witch? When and how.

“After hearing all the confessions. We have decided to take an hour break. And it is ordered to take Ms.

Rose Stone to special care and take her confession one more time so everything could be clear. The

trial will be continued in the next hour.”

Liam stood up running towards his sister. “Rose. Rose. Please tell me it isn’t the truth. Please, my baby

sister. Please.” Rose stopped as cops were taking her to special care.

“It’s true brother. I lied before not now.” With that, she walked away with the cops not pulling her head

up. She was too much ashamed to even face her brother. She ruined his life. She has snatched

everything from him.

While Liam stood there froze. Amelia didn’t move from her seat. She waited for the break to end and

the results to come but how and why did Rose confess all of this. Why suddenly.

The break ended and finally trial once again started. Mr. Mathews asked some questions to which

Rose gave honest answers. And everything was the same. The same real truth.

“After Ms. Stone’s confession. There is nothing needed. Court release Mr. Harry Kale from every

accusation and allegation. He is announced as an innocent person who was the real victim. Damages

will be paid to Mr. Harry Kale by Liam Stone for filing false allegations.”

Liam was too numb to react. While Luna was crying leaving her head dipped down in shame. Rose lips

curved into a fading smile hearing that Harry was finally free. He finally got justice.

“And as Ms. Rose Stone is 17 years old and still a minor so we have decided to not put her in jail. But

as per rules, she will be sent out of the city in a sacred village where she will work and also learn how

to be a better person. She will be charged a fine as well according to the law’s condition and terms.

The fine will be paid by her guardian Mr. Liam Stone and she will pay back the amount by working in

that village for the next two years. The court is dismissed.”

With that case closed. Every reporter attacked Liam as soon as he stormed out of the courtroom. He

couldn’t see her face anymore. The sister. His baby sister that he loved more than himself lied about

everything. When did she turn into this vicious person? When and how.

Amelia smiled widely taking deep breaths as tears were streaming down her eyes again and again.

She couldn’t believe her brother got justice. He’s free. He’s free from every accusation.

Luna also left without looking at her broken daughter. Cops asked Rose to pack her things and they will

send her to the village as her punishment will start right away.

She walked with the cops and was about to exit the room but stopped when she heard a voice. She

didn’t look up her head was dropped down in shame.

“Why. Why suddenly you confessed all of this.” Rose still didn’t look up her guilt didn’t let her.

“Maybe because I wanted to reassure my heart that the feeling I adorn for the past 5 years isn’t an

obsession. I love him I do Amelia si-- No I don’t deserve to call you that anymore. But just remember. I

am doing nothing except taking responsibility for my sin.”

With that cops took her and Amelia just stared at her back. Sighing heavily Lawyer came with a small

smile.

“Congratulations Ms. Kale. Your brother is free from every wrong accusation.” Handing her the file he

walked away.

She smiled again telling herself her brother is free. Finally.
