((( DEO POV's )))
"Did you get a priest already?" Rhio's voice was monotone with a hint of excitement. I bet he's really happy.
"He'll be coming later, Sir."
"Was Jasmin's family informed already?"
"Yes. But her sister wouldn't be able to come. She'd just given birth."
"Okay. And the rest?"
"They'll be present."
"Good."
I was running the papers for the legal wedding I'm organizing. I also had to get a designer for the theme of the matrimonial event.
For all its worth, I'm privileged to be able to handle this rushed wedding.
It matched their love story; rushed.
((( RHIO POV's )))
The hearing wasn't going too well for me. All evidences pointed against me and they were enough to fool anybody. Even my lawyers were left scratching their heads. I didn't like that.
A woman stood at the center of the platform and began reading the verdict of the jury.
"The court hereby pronounces Mr. Rhio Zel Cantheliz, primary suspect to the Summit Massacre, guilty beyond reasonable doubt."
I froze.
Murmurs erupted and ostracizing gazes turned at me.
I'm innocent!
One of my lawyers suddenly stood up to receive a call and went back to the pew to speak, "Your honor…Our witness has just arrived to clear all this controversy and clean Rhio's name."
"But your honor…" the prosecutor stood up immediately, "the decision…." His last words reverberated intensely in my ears.
The door of the courtroom opened and instantly, everybody were surprised.
"Stop this nonsense!" a voice spoke.
