Chapter 5: Justice Finally Arrives
The courtroom remained silent.
The jury returned after only three hours.
The foreperson stood.
"We find the defendant..."
"Guilty."
On every count.
Attempted murder.
Aggravated assault.
Assault against a pregnant woman.
Evidence tampering.
False testimony.
Isabella's face turned pale.
She looked toward Marcus.
He never acknowledged her.
The judge imposed a lengthy prison sentence.

Marcus answered for the first time.

Marcus ignored every microphone.
He drove directly to the hospital.
Khloe was waiting.
Holding their daughter.
