The Return Of The Heir

Chapter 2

A week in the holding cell with full torture, Harry finally arrived on court day. For the first time in a week he could finally see sunlight from behind the detention bus. He stared out with a cold grin.

"So this is the end of me," Harry muttered.

He will be brought to court without ever going through a defense or even an attorney's office. I don't know what was written on the former case about a crime he didn't commit.

"Introduce, I'm public attorney Rode Harl. I'm your attorney for today," a lawyer greeted Harryas soon as he stepped off the bus.

"Oh, I just found out that my lawyer can only come during court," Harryreplied coldly.

Inside the courtroom Harry swept his eyes across the audience. There he finds the hateful face of his beloved Catherine. Beside him is Rick , a man full of ambition to win Catherine's love.

"So he even believes that I committed the crime to Angeline," Harrythought.

Jonathan's eyes then glanced at Rode, he was only busy with the game on his cell phone and didn't even discuss anything with Jonathan.

"Don't try to argue with the Prosecutor, admit all your mistakes then you will get legal relief," said Rode when the judge began to sit in his chair.

"No, why confess if I'm not the culprit. The real criminal must be caught!"

"Tch, all the evidence is against you. You're just wasting your energy."

Harry managed his team early in Harryclenched his fists, from the start he already knew that he was trapped. His eyes kept sweeping towards the trial audience, he had to find out who would benefit the most if he was in prison.

Is that what you did Rick ?

Of all the people Rick is the one who would benefit the most if Harry was in prison. He has been chasing a long time, with him in prison eating Rick will easily get Catherine.

The next suspect who framed Harrywas Catherine's father, he was a wealthy businessman who really hated himself for being Catherine's boyfriend. So far, Catherine's father has been the most vocal in trying to get Harry away from Catherine.

"How much money did you get from the person who framed me?"

Rode was stunned, he stopped his fingers that were playing the game.

"You're not as stupid as I thought think. So just shut up and enjoy your fate."

Thirty minutes later the trial entered its final round. Harrykept the burning coals in his chest. He saw all the evidence so perfect as to make him a suspect.

Harrywas even surprised when the prosecutor said that Jonathan's sperm was in Angeline's genitals. All the evidence even in perfect falsification, lawyers, witnesses and prosecutors have been bribed.

"Harry Wiston, you are sentenced to twenty years in prison for the crime of rape as well as molestation."

The hammer is tapped three times with only one trial process. As if everything had been neatly framed only to make Harryend up rotting in prison.

"I'm not the culprit! Let me provide a defense!" Harryshouted, with his hands in handcuffs he even managed to turn the table over in front of him.

Police officers immediately incapacitated Harryprison with various punches to stop himself from going on a rampage. No one heard Jonathan's roar, everyone just stared at him coldly, after that the judge, prosecutor and even his girlfriend Lucyleft him.

"Lucy, do you not even believe me?" asked Harrywith a desperate face. Two policemen had locked her face down on the floor.

Lucy turned and stared at Harry who was looking pitiful on the cold floor of the courtroom.

"I regret ever knowing a ruthless man like you."

Lucy's cold words pierced Harry's heart, those words hurt even more than the verdict he received. Before his eyes Lucyleft with fingers intertwined with another man.

Attorney Harry approached his client who was helpless, he put his mouth to his ear Jonathan's lawyer approached his client who was helpless, he put his mouth close to Jonathan's ear.

"Your mistake was falling in love with Catherine, if you don't make love with Lucythen both you and I will not be victims."

After hearing those words, Harrytried to get out of the grip of the police who were holding his body. He wanted to go to Rode's jaw until it was crushed and he could no longer speak. It's just that the harder Harrytries to get out, the more painful the lock the police have put him on.

Rode left Harrywith a cynical smile full of ridicule.

I will definitely repay you!

Inside the prison, Harrywas immediately greeted by another group of inmates who looked at him with intimidating faces.

"It's time for the welcome party!" The leader of the group with the largest stature started giving a signal to the men around him.

They immediately surrounded Jonathan's body, two of which were already flanking Jonathan's arm.

"What are you guys going to do?"

"Take good care of you, that's the order we get!"

"I'll call the Warden if you hurt me!"

"It will all be of no use, they have been bribed to turn a blind eye and ear to whatever will happen to you in prison."

"Wh-who told you to do this?"

"You should already know who paid us!"

Harry trembled, he was alone while the prisoners around him were more than ten people. The inmates exchanged eyes, before aiming all the punches at Jonathan's body until his whole body felt split. Fresh blood came out not only from his mouth, but also from his nose and ears.

They returned to their rooms after leaving Harry slumped on the cold floor with his bloodstains in every corner.

Barry  always gets bad treatment until all the scars adorn every inch of his body. He was like a punching bag used by other prisoners to release all their emotions. His stomach was also punctured by the sharpened end of the toothpaste, causing him to be treated at the prison clinic.

For the first time after going through hell for nine months in prison he got a call from the hospital where Angeline was treated.
