Lust And Revenge by Reginah Shadreck (most read books .TXT) 📕

"Nithia took care of me and Lucas after our dad died,our mother didn't care much for us and after she blew the last of the little we had left , Nithia stopped going to school so she could work and so me and Lucas could go to school,she is the best sister in the world",he said and looked at his hands.

 Tears welled up in my eyes and I couldn't stop them from falling. I really thought he wasn't going to say anything good.

"Mason , Nithia spoke of the time the two of you ran away and went back to your old apartment care to explain what happened?",

" Nithia said we were going to play a game of his and seek with Giovanni but at the end it was going to be just me ,her and. Lucas like it always was"

" What happened after Giovanni finally found the two of you?",

" Nithia started crying,she didn't want to go back and I moved in with Lydia,I never saw her for some time after that",he says, taking a deep breath like he does when he wants to stop himself from crying.

"Do you remember what happened the day when Mr Salvatore came back from the hospital?"

" Objection your honor!"Giovanni's lawyer said.

" Overruled,you may proceed Mrs George"

Mason looked at Lucas and Lydia and kept looking at his hands "don't be scared Mason ,look at your sister it is important that you tell us what happened",she gently said trying to coax him.

" We decorated the new house we where staying at ,after that Olivia and Nithia went upstairs, when I saw the car pull through the drive way Flavio asked me to go and call Nithia and I went upstairs and over heard her saying that she was pregnant, I didn't get time to process it before she asked me to keep it a secret to later surprise Giovanni, so we walked down stairs and waited for them to enter, but when my sister got close to Giovanni he wrapped his hand around her neck and began strangling her",

" Objection! ",

" Overruled! ".

"  Do you want to stay with your sister?"

" Yes I want to stay with Lydia too",he says, Lydia? What's with my siblings' love for the Salvatore's,I look at Mercelo but he tells me to come down.

"Why? Do want to stay with Lydia?",

"She is my mother and she will be sad if I leave",

" She is not your mother Mason!",I get up from my seat , I'm just anxious, Lydia and Giovanni are taking advantage of their trauma and need for security a family provides ,yes that's must be why otherwise my brothers wouldn't pick them over me.

"Order!",the judge bellowed.

"Your , honor that is all thank you",she said and turned to smile to Mason after she whispered for me to be calm" that is all Mason, thank you, you did a great job". 

" I'd like to call Mr Lucas Kent to the witness box",she proceeded.

Lucas got up from his seat and after being sweared in he took his seat.

"Mind if I call you Lucas",she asks 

"

"No I don't",he said.

"Okay Lucas,I want you to tell me what you feel after knowing that Nithia didn't cheat on Giovanni that she unlike you mother didn't cheat on her partner?",she asks. This is Lucas' sore spot,I can't imagine how he felt seeing mom with others men that weren't our dad.

"I don't want to talk about it".

"Do you feel guilty?".

" I said I don't want to talk about it",

" Objection your honor Mrs Goerge is aggravating the witness", Giovanni's lawyer says.

" Mrs George, please be mindful",

"Of course, your honor",

"Lucas did Mason lie?",

Lucas hesitates and looks at me " no he didn't",

"That is all we needed ,Your honor the day my cleint escaped from the Salvatore mansion,she was quickly rushed to the hospital and there she showed severe signs of dihydration and this clinical evaluation proves that my cleint had gone through a lot of trauma in her marriage to Mr Salvatore",she then called my phyciatrist who then testified in my defense.

After she testified the judge then looked at Mason and Lucas "what do you feel about this?",

"If we are  choosing who we want to stay with I want to stay with Giovanni", Lucas says and just there I feel my heart shatter into a million pieces that I do not have the strength to make a sound.

"Lucas,?", Mason hits him with his elbow." I want to stay with Nithia, Lydia is my mother but the only mother figure I had growing up was Nithia so I want Nithia but I want to get a chance to see Lydia too because she will be very lonely".

"It's the only way they will stay together and we can go back to the way it was",he says,they always got the good side of Giovanni his generous kind side ,while always got the real him.

"Why do you prefer to stay with Giovanni over your own sister?",

" Giovanni is like a father to me, even when my dad was alive I rarely got to see him because he was always working I remember only seeing him a hand full of times before he died",he says.

" And who did you spend time with all along?", The judge asks.

" Nithia",he answers and it then dawn's on him. Yes I was there all this time from the very beginning,I took up the father and mother role since the very beginning,I was always there.

The court was then put in recess and we waited for the judge and the other state lawyers reach a final verdict.

As we waited I could see Lydia get into a heated argument with Mason ,she must be upset about what he said,I wanted to walk towards them but Mercelo stopped me and told me not be be to rush.

The recess period ended and we went back in.

"You may all raise for the verdict!".

 "After much deliberation of the evidence brought forward between both parties,I hereby find the defendant Mr Salvatore guilty of all charges and crimes against Mrs Salvatore and hereby dissolve the marriage,Mr Salvatore is to pay Mrs Salvatore the amount of $80 million dollars she seeks for damages and since there is no relationship what so ever here on after I declare the gaurdianship of Mrs Lydia Salvatore over the the two Kent brothers void and back to their relative and now legal guardian Ms Kent,court dismissed!",he says and gets up to leave.
