Chapter 602: THE TRIAL

On Sunday, Cayenne and Stefan continued to shop for Christmas presents. They bought a lot of things for a lot of people, taking into considerations of what they like and what they need.

Everytime she looks at the receipts, Cayenne felt like closing her eyes. It was the first time, in her entire life, that she gets to spend almost a million just for Christmas presents.

Contrary to how she felt, Stefan was rather proud and smug that his wife started spending his money like how he wanted.

This time, Kyle and Jonas decided to stay at home with Dominique and the guards. They chose to start wrapping the gifts for the children and for the families of their helpers.

On the other hand, the trial began with Napoleon as the defendant. He thought that he'd be able to escape the law with his money but he never expected things to be so difficult to deal with.

He wasn'r just against one person but a lot of them.He was facing different crimes with solid evidences against him.

He even threatened his secretary to be his scapegoat in exchange for the safety of his family.

At the plaintiff's seat, his secretary smirked and handed a recorder to the attorney which was to be evaluated by the judge and the other audio technicians.

"It's your choice. You can either say that you committed those crimes because of your loyalty or you can just let your family die." It was Napoleon's voice. He sounded calm and casual as if such thing was an everyday occurrence of his life.

"No, thanks. I don't want to be held in jail for something I haven't done. Also, I have recorded this conversation. I will never become your scapegoat. You can just rot in hell!"

Hearing these words from the recording, everyone expected Napoleon to look guilty but he was very calm and nonchalant.

"This man is a hard nutshell to crack." an officer commented while standing at the door.

"He's done so many crimes and isn't guilty of doing so. Only God knows what he could do to punish this man." the other officer answered.

"I heard it was his nephew who exposed everything."

"That's what people say."

"Do you think the same?"

"Nah! I don't want to think over these things. I don't want to bring complicated matters in my mind."

As the public trial continues, evidence after evidence were laid out in front of Napoleon. No matter what his lawyer do, the other party has lots of things to counter his claim.

They were all prepared in sending him down to hell, to appease the souls of the dead who perished because of his cruelty.

After over an hour, Napoleon's lawyer pinched the space between his eyebrows. He felt an oncoming headache and thought that his life would be over if he kept defending this criminal.

"This isn't just my battle against another lawyer, against the public and against the plaintiffs. This is your battle against them. I am just a sword that you can weild. If you won't say anything, they will believe that you are guilty." The attorney told Napoleon who remained silent beside him.

"The evidences are solid. I can see that everyone's siding them. We no longer need to fight." Napoleon raised his head and there's a look of confidence in his eyes. "I may lose this battle but they won't be able to punish me. My life, my fate; I have control over them."

The judge finally adjourned the trial but this wasn't the end yet. They will still review everything before they announce the final verdict.

Napoleon was escorted back to city jail by the police officers that Lucian assigned. As he neared the door, he suddenly stopped walking and looked back to the family of the victims. "Louisa was a fine young woman." He stated which brought Louisa's parents to look at him. "She tasted great, too."

"Aaahhhhh! You are a beast! Animal! I hope you rot in hell! I hope you die!" Louisa's mother screamed in anger and her tears rolled down her face. Her husband was trying to attack Napoleon but the officers were able to stop him.

"Go die! I hope you die! Your mother must have been a b?tch for you to grow up like one! You motherf*cker!"

Napoleon looked at him and smiled. "So what? You can yell all you want and throw curses at me. Still, your daughter won't come back to life. I still won this game! Hahahaha" Napoleon left while laughing to his heart's content.

As soon as he left the court, people can hear nothing but sobs. This was just the first day of the court trial and even though there wasn't any verdict yet, they already knew that the victim will get the justice they deserve. Even so, the families of the victims looked really pitiful. Even if they win the case, they could not bring the dead back to life.

Stefan heard of what happened at the trial from Tristan. He made sure that he's update with what was going on to make sure that Napoleon can't escape.

"Don't let him get into contact with other people." Stefan reminded Tristan in his reply.

"Got it. I'll inform Mr. Seville about your message." Tristan replied and left the court to go back to work.

Even though everyone was excited for christmas, it didn't change the fact that they have works to do. They still need to complete their task before the year end vacation that Stefan grants to his employess, well, with the exception of those who work in his hotels, restaurants and resorts. They may not be able to rest altogether but rest assured, they have alloted days wherein they can go for some relaxation.

Cayenne was scrolling on her news feed when she read the information about Napoleon. She looked towards her husband who looked nonchalant about this matter. Seeing that he wasn't the least bit affected, Cayenne closed the app of her phone and put the gadget away.

"Let's continue to buy gifts? I have few more items on my list. I'm sure we'd be able to finish this before sunset."

"Then, shall we have a date after? I deserve a prize for accompanying you, right?" Stefan retorted with his childish smile.

"Alright.. A date it is."
