Chapter 29: Nicole’s Judgement

Evan, his friends, and his family stayed in Lockwood for two days, finalizing documents. It was on the last day that

Evan asked Keith for a favor.

In the lobby of the same hotel they were staying, “Evan invited Keith for coffee.”

As they were drinking their beverages in front of a round table, Evan said to his friend, “I’d like to apologize again about, you know, Nicole.”

Keith laughed and answered, “No need to

apologize. That’s all good. Besides, I also

have things to be sorry about.”

“What?” Evan asked with a frown, but Keith just shrugged.

How could Keith tell Evan about

Shantelle? He can only keep his mouth

shut.

“That I am hotter?” Keith teased, and

Evan managed a weak smile.

“Fuck, you look like shit, Evan,” Keith

remarked. “You can’t even smile properly.

Evan groaned. He replied, “It hasn’t been

easy, but I’m trying to live through it.”

He looked at Keith and said, “Keith, I

need a favor.”

“What is it? Wasn’t it enough I approved those insurance claims? Evan, you better do your part and market Prima MedCare.

It was difficult for me to approve the kids’ policies. Most insurance companies do not cover pre-existing illness,” Keith said back. “I would not have agreed to it

without your promises.”

“I know. I owe you, and the children owe you,” Evan acknowledged. “Tell me if it

goes beyond the policy limit, and I’ll find

a way to cover it.”

“Shut up. Haven’t you realized your thoughtful nature got you involved with

Nicole slash Melody? I’m telling you, Evan, sometimes, you have to be cruel,” Keith suggested.

“I can be cruel when I lose my patience, but I get what you mean.” Evan nodded and answered, “I’ve already considered that, but it has nothing to do with helping a sickly child. It is better to give than to

receive.”

“Anyway, about what I need from you.” Evan first drank his coffee. After which, he revealed his intention. “I need help… in finding Doctor Scott.”

“You have the right connections, Keith. Your father’s company has opened branches in ten states, and I know you are expanding,” Evan said. “You know

doctors – you know people in the medical

field more than I do.”

Evan leaned forward and rested his elbows on his knees. He said, “I need help in finding Shanty.”

Keith fell silent. He sucked in a breath and said, “Do you have to, Evan -”

“Are you my friend? Fine, you were right. I was wrong. I’m sorry, I did not listen to you about not divorcing Shanty. I regret it now, and that’s why I need to find her,’

Evan revealed.

“But she left, Evan. Let her be,” Keith

insisted.

“I just want to try,” Evan reasoned. ” Please, help me.”

After a few more convincing, Keith unwillingly agreed, saying, “I will do my best, Evan, but no promises. It’s not like we have the entire country covered. Plus,

there is always the possibility that they

left the country.”

“Consider one thing, though, Evan,” Keith proposed. “I’ve dated a lot of

women to know them well. For love, they do many crazy things – give up many things, but when they give up on the

relationship, it means they are tired of loving you.”

“What if Shanty doesn’t love you anymore? Are you going to be that man

who will push yourself into her life?”

Keith asked. He finished his coffee and

added, “Just think about it, but I will see how I can help you find Doctor Scott.”

Evan sucked in a breath, listening to his friend’s words. After giving it much thought, he answered, “Keith, I don’t want to have another regret. I have to try before I willingly let her go.”

“Thank you for helping me, Keith,” he added. “I appreciate it, friend.”

“Nicole Lively, since you have changed your name legally, and it is within

records, you will be addressed as such in this court,” the judge in the courtroom said.

Months had passed since Evan learned of

Nicole’s true nature. It was finally time for the judge to give the verdict. The

judge, including the audience, listened to both the defense and persecution

arguments. Pieces of evidence were re-

presented and reviewed.

After two hours, the judge came to a decision. He asked everyone to stand as

he first looked at Evan on the

prosecutor’s side and lightly nodded.

Then he directed his gaze to Nicole.

“In the case of Rose Hills versus Nicole

Lively, for wasting police hours, the court is going to impose a sentence of five years

without the possibility of parole,” said the judge.

Instantly, Nicole’s eyes widened in

horror. She turned to her father behind

the audience, and Thomas shook his

head, looking defeated. Thomas

Campbell was only locked up for over a

month, unlike Nicole, who was facing

serious charges.

“For your fraudulent activities, the court is going to impose a sentence of another five years without the possibility of parole,” the judge added, making Nicole completely lose her temper.

“That’s absurd! Are you kidding me? I did not kill anybody to deserve ten years!”

Nicole complained. She turned to Evan and saw the menacing look on his face. She said, “you did this, Evan!”

On the other side of the bench, Evan repeatedly nodded, satisfied with the

sentence. He was unaffected by Nicole’s frantic claims. In Rose Hills, he was power now, and he meant to make use of it. Yes, he did it. He influenced the judge’s decision and will do it over and over again

to make Nicole Lively suffer.

“Miss Lively, you need to calm down!” While her defense attorney tried to put her in place, the judge became more

irritated.

“You are a scheming woman, Miss Lively. The kind who is dangerous to the community. Just look at your reaction!” The judge scolded. “For disrespecting this court and seeing your violent nature, this court will send you to Long-Island Penitentiary!”

The judge ended the session without giving Nicole another chance to speak, saying, “The court is now adjourned.”

“No! Father! Please, help me!” Nicole became more delirious, thinking about where she would be imprisoned. The Long Island Penitentiary was intended for murderers, drug dealers, rapists –

those involved in heinous crimes, yet why was she sent to such a facility? All she did was try to get Evan’s affection! It was injustice!Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Evan!” She snapped at Evan while he took his leave with his attorneys. “You

paid the judge! I’m sure you did! You

can’t get away! I will file a plea! This isn’t

fair!” 2

“You did this to yourself!” Evan coldly said. “You want to appeal, then try. Try to try if the court will even listen to you. Suffer and pay the price for messing with my life!”
