“Jasmine, the weight of this verdict rests heavily on your petite shoulders; tell us, darling, where your heart yearns to dwell,” the judge implored softly. Jasmine, her wide eyes reflecting the gravity of the situation, swallowed a lump of apprehension before whispering, “I wish to reside in the realm of Daddy’s protective love.”
The courtroom held its breath, entranced by the hushed whispers of the petite girl on the stand. As her testimony concluded, a triumphant punch sliced the heavy air from Roger. His slick-haired attorney, lips curled in a self-satisfied smirk, echoed his victory. The scales of justice tipped in their favor. The allegations Janet had fiercely thrown at Roger dissolved into nothingness, and Jasmine, the precious prize, would be his.
