Chapter 27

Justin was on the floor breathing fast. Layla came to Justin and started to touch his chest trying to find where was bleeding, but theres was no blood. Justin opened his eyes and said
-I am alive???-he asked- i am alive???????????????????
-Yesss, Justin- Layla was touching his face smiling while crying- you are alive!!!!
-I thought that man gave me a shot mum!!-Justin said breathing fast
Adrian came running
-SON!!!!SON!!!!!-Adrian hugged him tight- thank God you are alive!!!-Adrian hugged Layla and Justin
Then Layla looked at her right side and she saw Antony laid down on the floor, his head was bleeding.
-Oh my God....Adrian!!-Layla said
-What???-Adrian noticed Antony bleeding
-Antony is dead!!-Layla said
-What??-Adrian looked at Antony and immediatly and he tried to check his pulse, however Antony wasnt breathing no more, his heart stopped beating, Antony was dead.
-He is dead...-Adrian said looking at Layla
The others came and to check on Justin and then they saw Antony dead and Victor said
-Who gave him a shot??? -Victor asked worried
-I dont know....... it wasnt me though- Adrian said
-Neither was i- Nathan said looking at them
-I didnt shot him dead- Jonas said
-Then who did it???-Layla asked
They looked around and there was no one, absolutely no one around.
-Thats impossible- Adrian said- if none of us gave him a shot and killed him then who did it???
Fact was, someone killed Antony however Adrian, Nathan, Victor, Jonas and Layla, all them denied to be the crime author, but if wasnt any one them who gave Antony the shot that ended his life on that night???
Adrian started to look at Jonas, Nathan and Victor not like before, but as suspect of a murder.
-Guys, i dont wanna sound funny but, we need to get lost or else police will come here and will end accusing us of commiting this-Jonas said
-You are right there-Victor said - we should go
Layla looked at Antony and he was still with his eyes opened, Layla came closer to him and closed her eyes.
-Let's go...-she said
They all got in the cars and left the pier.
After a few hours later, they all were reunited at Victor's house. For precaution, Victor thought that it was better for them to stay at his house, he was afraid that Antony's security guys would come and get them . Adrian texted Chloe and asked her to come over Victor's house with Amelia and with her kids.
Layla was  still very agitaded, she was with her arms around Justin while they were sat on Victor's sofa
-i dont wanna even think if Justin was hit by that bullet, like if that happened, my life would be ruined by now-Layla said
-Layla chill please!! Your son is here with us and things thank God ended ok- Jonas said - now we need to find out who did this to Antony
-Why?-Nathan asked
-Because police will come after us, for sure- Victor said holding a beer
-How??-Nathan didnt understand why Police would come after them
-DNA...fingerprints, etc and etc- Adrian said
-But no one here murdered Antony......right???-Nathan asked
In that moment, everybody looked at each other because since it was dark, anybody could be the aurthor of the shot, but in the crime scene, all them claimed that neither of them gave Antony a shot in the head, however, was that the truth or not?
Victor looked at Layla, he came closer to her and said
-Can i speak to you?-he asked
-Sure, whats up?-she asked
-In privancy...-he said
-Oh sure- Layla got up and followed him
Adrian watched Victor taking Layla to another room and then he said to Jonas
-I dont like that-Adrian said- maybe i should go after them
-No dont go- Jonas said- maybe he will tell everything to Layla....
-I dont care, i dont trust that maniac-Adrian said refusing to leave Layla alone with Victor
-trust me, Victor is not the monster that you are thinking he is- Jonas said
Victor took Layla to the library, there was a peaceful room that he builded, with books that he never read, but that he put as decoration so people would think that he was a very wise person. He looked at Layla in the eyes and said
-First of all, i must to say, Adrian plan was quite good and i am glad that i was part of the plan, even though i never did much...
-Well, you supported them i guess? No one better than you- Layla smiled to Victor
-True- he smiled back but then he stopped smiling- listen, i am thrilled for seeing you again and Layla, seriously...if the woman kidnapped or threated in story wasnt you, i swear that we all wouldnt be here celebrating your rescue but we would be in the hospital or even in the cemetery saying goodbye, because Antony wasnt joking, you know that..
-I know Victor..-Layla said- its crazy to think that ive been through all this again, like before you did this to me and Adrian again remember? and now all this happened again, i feel really unlucky sometimes- she confessed
-You shouldnt feel like this Layla..-Victor said
-Why not?-she asked him
-Because you are lucky
-Me?? nahhh, ive dated you and my life became a hell, i went to live with you and you cheated on me...then when i start liking Adrian you make our life a hell, then you try to haunt us down to try to kill us, Jason had a fake death, Felix always flirted with me and i always felt disgusted by that...then you kidnapped us, you made me cheat on Adrian....the list of the things that you have put me through is just infinite...
-I know i know...-Victor said - and i am sorry for that
Victor was willing to tell Layla about the trap that he made he fall for it, but he was starting to think that it was a bad idea..
-So, you said you wanted to speak to me...
-Yeah- he said - i want
-Then what is?-she asked
-Welll....-Victor took a deep breath, he wasnt ready to tell her
-Whats wrong?? you look worried- Layla said
-And i am worried- Victor said
-Why??
-I dont know if i should tell- Victor said
-Hmmmm Victor, i am getting nervous, just tell me
-Maybe i should tell you another day? today was a crazy day seriously- Victor said
-Please just tell me, i hate when people do that....you are making me too curious but like i just hope its not anything bad...
-Why you say that??-Victor asked her
-Because like...damn...i dont know how to explain but like i said, you put me in sooo many shit like we could write a book about it...it would be a best seller- she smiled but he didnt
-I know Layla, i think when we met each other, it was the perfect timing for us being together because after that we never managed to have a healthy relationship, our relationship in the end of the day was too toxic
-Yep- Layla said- i agree with you on that
-Yeah...-he said - so, i think you should sit down because what i am going to tell you it wont be easy to be said it...
-Ok- Layla sat down and Victor sat next to her on the sofa- So.....???
-Layla, we know each other about almost 20 years right??
- Yeah, you speaking like that it feels agesss God...we are old haha- she said
-Yeah anyways, you werent my first girlfriend, but you were my first love- Victor said that being really serious but Layla didnt like it
-God......why are you even mentioning that Victor??? thats past, it happened ages ago....-Layla got annoyed
-I know that and thats the main reason why i think i wont ever be able to forgive myself...-he said
-what you mean?? like go straight away to the subject, its getting boring now....-Layla said
-Wellll...its my fault that Antony got you...-Victor said
-Its not- Layla said
-It is....-Victor said looking at her ashamed
-Nooooo its not...-Layla said - why are you saying this if is not true? like i dont get it
-Antony told me to come to you guys talking about a plan to get him but that wasnt the plan, the real plan was to put you infront of him soo it was my fault that he got you
-WHAT????-Layla said shocked
-Thats right and worst thing is he paid me to do that...
-HE PAID YOU???-Layla shouted - Victor......
-Yeah...and when i told Adrian he got furious at me and he said things that it was very hurtful but i suppose you will kick even more and its alright because i deserve to be kicked...- he looked at her
-Victor....how could you do this to me???-Layla said while one tear were rolling down her left side of face
-I didnt think straight and i needed the money....-he said
-You needed the money?? Dude, you keep telling people that you are the richest man around, that your house cost is above $ 5 million......you have cars, you have nice clothing and you come to me saying you needed the money????
-Layla, look i can explain..
-Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh what can you explain Victor??? i could of died....do you know what that mean?? I COULD OF DIED VICTOR....OH MY GOD!!!!!!
-i know and i want you to know that if that happened, i wouldnt ever forgive myself, not even in a million years...
-Victor....-Layla was feeling sooo dissapointed on him- You know what, of all the people that i met in my life, you were the one who i trusted like no one else....because i knew when you said you liked me and had real feelings for me that was true, that wasnt a lie but you put me in this, you didnt bothered if i died, you didnt bothered about what Antony could of do to me, you simply threw in the lion cage like how could you do this to me Victor?? like what i did to you for you hate me that much?? come on tell me, why you hate me that much for doing this to me Victor, tell me i wanna know
-You wanna know??
-Yes-she said
-You choose Adrian over me...-Victor said - and i still have strong feelings for you, i have a soft spot for you and thats just too obvious, even though i try to hidea Layla, i still love you...
-Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? are you foooooorrrr realll man??? -Layla said indignant
-Yeah- Victor said
-BULLLSHITTTTTTTTTTTT-Layla shouted
-No its not bullshit- Victor said- i knew you wouldnt believe it
-ahahahahahahahahaha oh my God, you are crazy!!!!!!-Layla said- thats old news Victor...
-I know but i always asked myself why you choose him over me, what he did have that i didnt?? and i always hated you, deep inside of me ,for that reason
-Thats a lie...-Layla said- your a liar!! - she said with a anger look
-I am no liar Layla...-he said
-Yes you are...you just lied to me, thats not the reason why you sent me to Antony...because if you loved me you wouldnt EVER do what you did do and seriously
-Layla, i am sorry for doing that, i dont know why i did that though, when i realised you were already with Antony, if only i could come baack in time i wouldnt of done this to you, i swear.....
-Well, we agree in something then Victor- Layla said -  if only i could come back in time, i wouldnt ever allow myself falling in love with a such cruel, horrible, disgusting person, you are my biggest regret Victor and i mean it!!!!!!!!!!
Layla left the library and Victor stayed in the library feeling literally as the worst person in the world.
Layla came to the living room where the guys were and she said
-Adrian, please, lets gooo please....lets leave this house right now, please babe- Layla hugged Adrian tight
-What happened??? what happened to you and Victor? did he hurt you?
-Yeah....-Layla was crying- he did this to me, he selled me as a piece of meat Adrian, that man is the worst person the world, i hate him , i hate him with all my guts i swear, i dont wanna ever see him again...lets leave his house please
-Layla, we cant leave now-Jonas said
-Why not??-she asked
-We all need to speak to get in a consence about what happened tonight, if someone give a different version than everybody or anybody can go to the jail and be accused of something that is not truee..-Jonas said
-Hmmm- Layla said- then i have a confession to make..
-what babe??-Adrian asked
-I know who killed Antony- Layla said
-Whooooo guuuurl??? tell us- Nathan said
Victor was behind the door, listening to their conversation.
Layla was looking at Justin and then at Adrian
-So...who did killed the bastard??-Jonas asked
-It was me...-Layla said
-OUCHHHHHHHHHHH-Nathan shouted
-Mum....you killed him??-Justin looked at her frightened
-Yeah...-Layla looked at Adrian
-How???-Adrian asked- you didnt had a gun...
Adrian had a point there but Layla was going to prove him wrong
-Welll, when Antony was talking to Nathan, i was in the limou right? soo while they were talking, i said to Antony's driver that Antony has asked him to go buy him a package of ciagarettes and he left, it wasnt hard to convince him, even though he questioned me for a few minutes, anyways...i saw that Nathan was moving his legs too much, like Nathan was impatient and i know him loads so i assumed that Nathan was fearing Antony, then i looked around the limou and i saw a gun under the seats, Antony probably dropped there by mistake or left the gun there in case of an emergency....then when i saw the gun, i got the gun and hided inside my clothes and then thats why i left the car, because i knew i was safe having a gun with me. Then i was just praying that the white substance would have effect quick so we could runaway but it was taking too long then i started to play Antony saying he gave me STD and was when he fainted but then when i saw Justin and i saw Antony pointing the gun at Justin, i got desperate and i am a mother, no matter in this whole planet would allow someone to hurt their kids, so i didnt think twice, i gave the shot...
-But he was holding Justin...-Adrian said
-Thats right and thats why i ran to Justin, i thought i missed the shot and that i ended killing my own son...- Layla said - i didnt care if Antony died, as long as Justin would be alivr, nothing else would matter to me....- Layla said
-Wow Layla....i dont know what to say- Adrian said
-Neither do i- Layla said
-So if police come after us, that means that you will tell them that it was you???-Nathan asked
-I......- Layla said
Layla didnt finished what she was going to say when someone rang the bell of Victor's house
-ITS POLICE, OPEN THE DOOR RIGHT NOW.....
-Oh my God....how they did find out us here???-Adrian hugged Layla
-I dont know but i guess one of us will have to face this problem, Layla, it hurts me deeply much to say this but i think you need to confess your crime, i am gonna help Adrian to get you a lawyer, we wont leave you there
-Ok- Layla was crying
-NOOO NOO MUM, YOU CANT GO TO JAIL!!!-Justin hugged Layla tight
For the past days, things has been too dramatic for Layla and Adrian and the drama wouldnt end anytime soon, there was another problem that Layla and Adrian had to face it, together but Adrian wasnt feeling scared or upset, because after all, if problems didnt existed, life would be utterly boring.
Adrian looked at Layla and he put his both hands on her face, in a very gently way and said
-No matter what happen, i will always be by your side, when we got married i said and sweared that i would be there for you till my last breath and thats what is going to happen, i will do everything for you ok babe? i love you and we will fight agaisnt this problem together and will leave this situation victorious ok?
-Ok- Layla said but feeling hopeless
Nathan opened the door for police, and 5 police agents came holding machine-guns.
-Good night officer- Jonas said trying to look calm
-Good evening, we are here searching for the author of the murder of Antony Forster- the officer said
Layla looked at Adrian and said
-Officer...-Layla said being brave - it was m.....
-Me- Victor came in the living room already with his hands on his head - i killed Antony
-Victor....-Layla said shocked and all the others were
-Damn- Jonas said looking at Victor
-I killed Antony and planned everything, it was me- Victor said
-So you are arrested for the crime of murdering Antony Forster, officer Klaus, please handcuff this man!!!!-the officer said
Victor never hesitated to show his hands for them handcuff him
-Nooooo, nooooo- Layla said - noooo thats not right
-You have the right to remain silent.  Anything you say may be held against you in a court of law.  You have the right to consult your lawyer and insure his presence at your interrogation.  If you want a lawyer and can’t afford one, one will be appointed to you.  Do you understand each and every right that has been explained to you? 
-Yes-Victor said
The officers threw Victor on the floor and handcuffed him
-Come on lets goo- The officer said
-Victor....why-Layla said
-Didnt i said i loved you??? -Victor said looking at Layla
Victor was arrested in Layla place in order to feel a little less guilty for the whole drama that he has put her and also as a way to say sorry for such a bad thing that he has commited against her.
The officers took Victor to the cops car and took his to prison.
-oh my God....- Layla hugged Adrian tight - they cant take him, it was my fault....i am gonna go there and tell them i was the murder not Victor
-Layla...i am sorry babe, but he put you in this situation is only fair he pays for it now
-ADRIAN!!!! ARE YOU INSANE??? How can you say something like this to me????
-Layla, if you go to the jail, Amelia will grow up without a mother, is that what you want???
After 4 months...
It has been 4 months since Victor confessed a crime that he never commited in order to save her from the hell of being locked in a prison. Victor was locked in a small prison cell, and he shared his cell with a drug dealer called Pony aka Chase Smith.
Victor hired an excellent lawyer and Layla and the others helped Victor to pay, Adrian never wanted to help but Layla made Adrian see that they all owned Victor loads. Layla was still feeling bad because, she was carrying a murder on her back and also Victor was in her place, being judge by the court for a crime that he wasnt the author. Everybody was there to hear the judge verdict. Some people came to watch Victor getting screwed other came to see Victor and to give him support through this.
As it was already said, everybody was there, Layla, Adrian, Jonas, Nathan , Chloe, Beth, William, Tom, Paula, Sara , Amanda, Ashton, Mendes, Diego , Melody, Caroline , Justin, Thammy and the all people that knew Victor were in that court listening to the judgement of Victor Sanchez.
Victor daughter Caroline, was very apprehensive because if Victor was judged and condemned by the supreme court, she would be just an orphan kid.
The judge came in the room, everybody stood up. He sat and hammered three times
-The session is opened- the Judge said - first person to be heard is Witness of accusation, Sir Bob Wilson
Bob was one of Antony's guys. The accusation lawyer, Dr Raymond came to make the questions...
-So, mister Bob, what it was your connection with the murdered??
-I worked for Antony, for about 4 years...he wasnt only my boss, he was my friend- Bob said
-Good and when you were at the night of the crime?
-I was at the hotel where Antony had rented a a floor- Bob said- i was making the security of the floor
-Hmmmm ok and did you know Mr Victor Sanchez??
-Yeah i saw him a few times speaking to Antony, they were friends but the last time they met, Victor got mad-Bob said
-Can you explain us more?? - the lawyer asked
-Yeah, Antony was having a romance with that blondie over there....-Bob pointed Layla - and when Antony told Victor that he would take Layla to Barcelona for a romatic weekened Victor got mad and started to scream at Antony
-THATS A LIE- Victor stood up
-SILENCE!!!-The judge hammered twice- silence Mr Victor!!! Go ahead Mr Bob-the judge said
-Thank you, anyways, as i was saying...Victor got mad and said that Antony couldnt do this to Layla soo Antony kicked Victor out of his room and demanded us to take him out of the hotel, and we did it!!!
-So, Mr Bob, do you think Victor Sanchez had reasons to kill Antony??? - the lawyer asked
-Yeah i do...
-Objection, your Honor YOUR EXCELLENCY!!!!-Victor's lawyer said
-Objection, your Honor granted.- The judge said
-Mr Bob, you said that Victor had reasons to kill Antony, but you just told us that Antony demanded you guys to kick him out of the hotel (sic)....but that doesnt just prove the oppositive?? now i ask you, did Antony had reasons to kill Mr Victor?? didnt Antony exploded the hangar where Victor's brother Jason was killed????
- Objection, your Honor YOUR EXCELLENCY!!!! THE DEFENSE LAWYER IS MAKING NO SENSE QUESTIONS TO MR BOB
-Objection, your Honor denied- The judge said- Go on Dr Dean
-Thank you excellency- Victor's lawyer said- So, Mr Bob...how many people Antony has killed that you have the knowledge???
-About 50 people...
-I end my questions here Excellency!!!!-Dr Dean smiled to Victor as if he was saying ' we got this'
The court have a long duration, in Victor's case, it would be days since there was too many witness to speak.
The session went through break, Layla left the room and Adrian followed her
-Are you alright??-he asked her
-No, i can't stay here watching Victor being accused of something that i did Adrian, thats not fair...-Layla was feeling horrible
-I know and i agree with you but thats what he has chosen babe....i am so sorry for this i wish i could do something else to help Victor but damn, i simply cant forgive him for what he did to you and besides that, Victor's lawyer is really good, the best in town..
-Yeah...let's hope that he can help him right???-Layla said being apprehensive
They came back to the court room, the session was reopened once again.
This time was the turn of the defense lawyer to speak to the jury
-Your Excellency, i would like to talk to the defense witness, Mr Nathan...
-No objection- the judge said
Nathan came and the officer was holding the bible
-You, and each of you, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that you will well and truly try this case before you, and a true verdict render, according to the evidence and the law, so help you God? 
-I swear!!!-Nathan said
-You may now sit- The officer said
Nathan sat on the chair next to the Judge.
-So Mr Nathan, you said you were in the crime scene with Mr Victor right??
-Yeah thats right-Nathan said
-What you guys were doing before the crime happened? -The lawyer asked
-We made a plan to save Layla, she has been kidnapped by Antony, thats it
-Ok and did you saw when Victor gave a shot on Antony??
-No i didnt, it was too fast-Nathan said
-Your Excellency, i would like to question Nathan....
-No objection- The judge said
-Objection, your Honor, i didnt finished my question!!-Victor's lawyer said it
-Objection denied Dr Dean.... Dr Raymond, you may make your question now to Mr Nathan
-Thank you, Your Excellency , Mr Nathan, were you friends with the accused??
-We grew up together, but we arent friends..-Nathan said- why??
-You see jury, this man , Victor Sanchez didnt had any special bond with Mr Nathan , so how come they were together at the crime scene?? Mr Victor is a welll known as a rich man, he has been through many accusations in the past for being a drug dealer and for also kidnapping the same woman that Antony has kidnapped, Layla. The absurd detail is that Mr Victor has tried to kill his own ex girlfriend and her boyfriend Mr Adrian, who for a 'huge coincidence' were also in the crime scene...
-Objection, your Honor!!!Objection, your Honor!!!! YOUR HONOR, DR RAYMOND IS MAKING QUESTIONS NOT TO RELATED TO THE CASE!!!
-Objection denied!!! Please go on Dr Raymond...
-Thanks Your Excellency, soo like i was saying ...
Victor got really annoyed about what the accusation lawyer said and he decided to stand up for himself, even though, this wasnt allowed.
-Your Honor, please can i speak??-Victor asked
-Objection, your Honor!!! The accused must to remain in silence, waiting his turn to speak- the accusation Lawyer said
-Objection denied...-The judge said- You can speak Mr Victor
-I think is pointless my lawyer try to convince the jury and you, your honor about a crime that ive confessed, ive killed Antony as revenge of what he did to my brother and also to my ex-girlfriend, Layla. I know that i shouldnt of done that but i did in her defense, because i am certain that if i never killed him, he would ending killing her and my ex-girlfriend's son, thats all i have to say, i just want your mercy your Honor, because i have a daughter to raise and she doesnt have a mother and i want you guys from jury to be aware that i only did this to protect Layla and her son ,Justin. Thank you
Everybody in the court started to speak to each other, the sound of those voices it seems as if they were in a fairy.
-SILENCE, SILENCE IN THE COURT!!-The judge hammered twice- I ask the jury to go inside the other room discuss and take your decision...the session is now closed and will be reopened in 40 mins!!!! -He hammered three times
The officers got Victor and took him to other room, since he couldnt have contact with anyone.
Layla left the court with Justin, Adrian, Nathan and Jonas. Chloe also followed them.
Layla was crying
-Jesus...-Layla said- Adrian...
-Yeah-Adrian said
-If i tell police that it was me, do you think i will be in jail for too long?
-Yeah- Adrian said- you will
-But it was to defend Justin..-she said
-I know but he died..-Adrian said
-Layla, dont even consider to do that please- Nathan said- Antony deserved to die
-Guys, i cant let Victor sacrifice himself for me!! thats not fair
-Nothing is fair in life- Adrian said- if you wanna go there and tell it was you, i am gonna respect you but what about Amelia Layla??
Layla was confused, she was willing to tell everybody that she was the author of the gunshot but she would pay a high cost for this. If she told the Judge the truth, she probably wouldnt ever see Amelia again and neither would see Justin but at the same time, Victor was being accused of something he didnt do just to protect her. By that action, all the hate and anger that Layla was carrying of Victor, dissapeared. She wanted to help him and save him as he saved her but Layla didnt have the courage to do that and thats the thing that was disturbing her the most.
After a few minutes...
Layla saw Caroline next to Chloe, speaking to Chloe and crying on her shoulder. She wanted to come closer but and if Caroline treat her bad? she would probably feel even worse. Layla have decided , after thinking too much, that she would say some comforting words to Caroline.
-Chloe...can i speak with Caroline?-Layla asked
-Sure- Chloe got up and allowed Layla to sit next to Victor's daughter
-Hey- Layla said touching her shoulder
-Hi Layla- Caroline was with her whole face red, her eyes were getting swallon, she was crying too much
-I know that you are horrible- Layla said
-You dont know- Caroline said- you dont know, you cant imagine the pain that i feel inside of me right now because its too hard to love your own mother to the most disgraceful disease that is cancer and then loose your dad because he is going to jail...
-i know Caroline, i know that and trust me, i can feel your pain, because Victor is also very important to me...-Layla said
-He is not important for you because if he was, you would of told everybody the truth, You are too selfish!!! i cant believe he still love you.- Caroline got up and walked away
Caroline words were bitter, her words were cutters as a knife. Layla got up and said to Adrian, who was just stading next to her
-I am gonna tell them that it was me-Layla said
-are you sure??-Adrian asked
-No..-Layla said
-Think about everytime that Victor ruined your life, think about each day that he made you cry because he cheated on you...try to remember the risk that he put you into when he made you to sell his drugs...dont you remember when he tried to kill me and i almost died? that man never paid for any of those crimes Layla...if you want to put yourself in a place of a criminal, who wanted your death and who changed you for money....go ahead, you have all my support!! -
Adrian was harsh with Layla because she seemed to be forgotten about the past, about the things that Victor did and he never paid it for. Adrian was trying to make her realise that prison was where Victor belongs.
After 20 mins, the session was reopened
-The session is now opened for the last time - the judge said and then looked at the jury and made them a question - Have you reached a verdict? -The judge said to the jury
-Yes Your Honor - the representant of them said
-Ok, Officer Mclean, please give me the verdict
-Yes your Honor
The judge started to read the verdict that would decide Victor's fate.
-The jury ruled that  the defendant  Mr Victor Sanchez is found..........GUILTY for the crime of murdering Mr. Antony
-NOOOO-Layla, Caroline screamed in the court
-ORDERRRRR IN THE COURT RIGHT NOWWWW, SILENCE!!!!-he hammered and continued with his saying - the jury also ruled that Mr Victor is judged in close regime for 20 years, without any permition to pay for his crime in freedom and I Judge Michael Jackson I close this case today, thursday 2rd March of 2017. Officers, please, take this man to the Saint Monica Prison.
-Victor.....-Layla said looking at him
Victor looked down and before Layla could realise, he was already gone. Caroline was crying too much, Chloe was there for her, supporting her. Victor was going to jail and he would 20 years of his life locked there.
Layla never said a word, she didnt had the courage to say and she allowed Victor to pay for her crime.
After a few hours
Adrian took Layla back home, Beth and Justin was with them. Beth came in the same car as them, since she wanted to help Layla to take care of Amelia. Adrian parked his car infront of their house and went inside the house. Layla was holding Amelia in her arms feeling depressed. Beth came inside the house and immediatly went to the kitchen to prepare them a very warm and nice beverage. Justin went to his bedroom and Layla went to take Amelia to the crib. Adrian followed her, in silence, the mood in that house was awful. Layla put Amelia in the crib and get ready to get her changed when Adrian come in Amelia's room.
-How are you feeling?
-I never felt soo bad in my whole life...what i feel Adrian is worst than when i killed Antony- Layla said - and i feel that this guilty wont ever leave me in peace
-Come here- Adrian hugged Layla
-This nightmare it seems that it wont ever end- Layla said
-It will end Layla-Adrian wanted to sound supportive, but nothing that he would say it would make Layla feel in a different way
-God...i think i will need to go to the doctors and get a depression tablets, like i feel lilke death
-We can do that, even though you know the half life of the medication for depression is too long
-I dont even know what means and it doesnt matter Adrian, as long as this emptyness that i am feeling deep inside of me, dissapear...
-Babe, i have something to tell you- Adrian said
-What??-she asked
-Do you remember when i told you that my boss offered me a new job in another state??
-Yeah??-Layla said - i remember why?
-Well, he called me last night when you were sleeping and asked me if i wanted or not because he already received another aplication from a doctor and i said yes i take the job
-Really?-Layla asked- but how come you will live there and i will live here with the kids?
-Layla, you might kick me for saying this but i think we should leave this place, like so many bad things has happened to us here and this guilty feeling will for sure haunt you babe and i dont want this to happen, i want us to start fresh in another place, you can open a new bussiness and i will get so much money, we will be able to give Justin and Amelia the life that we never had when we were younger..
-I dont know Adrian...i love to live here, i dont wanna leave this town- Layla said
-Neither do i but try to see this as a new chapter of our lives babe...theres going to be just us and the kids...
-Adrian, i think i should kick you for taking the offer without speaking to me first...-she said- like if we are a couple we should decide our lives and future together..
-I know Layla and i agree with you but with this Victor judgement i couldnt even tell you this, you were too worried about him- Adrian said- so what you tell me babe? do you wanna come with me??
Layla looked at Adrian and said
-Yeah, i do- Layla said
-Thats greaaat- Adrian hugged Layla tight - i promise that you wont regret it!!!
-Good- she smiling, still feeling sad - so when will be our departure???
-In a few weeks, we will have so many things to do, sell the car, sell this house...damn, we will be soo busy!!
-Ok-Layla said - shall we start packing then??
-Yeah, like i am gonna call Nathan and Jonas and ask them to come over, so i can tell them everything and plus ask for their help with the packing
-Ok...
Layla didnt want to leave the town where she started her life, many bad things happened to her and to Adrian while leaving in that town but also many other great things happened aswell. Fact is, she didnt want to leave that place but maybe that change was for the best.
Meanwhile
Victor was in his new home, a small cell that he was sharing with more 5 guys. Victor was sat on his bed looking to nowhere, thinking about everything that has happened to him when then a man says to him
-Hi, ive noticed that you are new here, why are you here?
-Ive been accused of killing a man-Victor said - and you?
-Hmmm ive killed a woman- the man said
-Oh ok, so this cell is only for criminals who are murderes?
-Yeah, you see that fat man over there? he killed his mother...and that skinny bald one? he killed his boss...
-Wow-Victor said- who you killed?
-My wife....-The man said
-Hmmm ok- Victor got a bit scared
-And do you have cigarettes?? gun? drugs???
-No why?
-Because thats the currency here pal, if you dont have this, you are a dead man....-the man said
Victor knew that inside of the prison it was another reality, and he knew how things worked but the thing is, Victor tried to change, he tried to be a father, a man who was honest and sincere and that actualled leaded him to the prison, it was that fair???
After a few weeks...
Adrian and Layla has worked as a dog, they had to sell their cars, house and everything they had , in a record time, in order to start a new life in this new state far away from where they lived. Nathan was really upset about their departure but Adrian promised to pay Nathan flight tickets to go spend some weeks with them. Chloe was also upset about seeing Layla go, because now she was a single mum who had a heart of gold since Chloe invited Caroline to come live with her and the girls. Jonas has tried to make Chloe change her mind and accept him as her husband again, but Chloe didnt want him, she asked him to fill for divorce. Jonas was living alone in a flat close to Chloe's house so he could see his daughters kinda often.
Layla was in the living room getting the last boxes that would travel by truck to the other state. Adrian was thrilled, he was going to be responsable for the geriatric session of the Medicine Council, he was really happy. Layla still didnt want to leave the town but after a few weeks thinking straight about everything that has happened to her, she thought that it would be good for her to look foward and try to forget the past, even though this would be impossible.
Nathan took them to the airport and while Nathan was parking his car, Adrian, Justin Layla, Amelia and Beth were waiting for him in the Airport lobby, Beth went to the bathroom and Layla and Adrian were talking about had much their lives would change
-Damn i cant believe that we are actually leave this town- Layla said
-Same, i thought that it would easier but its not- Adrian said
-Yep, we will have to make new friends argh thats soo annoying- Layla said
-I like the idea about making new friends Layla, it will be different experiences right??
-Maybe- she said
-I love you even more that i already did for you leaving everything so i can get this job
-You will be my eternal slave Adrian - she smiled
-I will be with pleasure- Adrian started to kiss Layla but Nathan came interupting their cheesy moment
-Guys!!! cant you guys change your mind?????? like i am gonna miss my bestie soo much- Nathan hugged Adrian- who else will take care of me??? i dont wanna be lonelyyyyyyyyyyyy......
-Nathan, pst!!!!!!!! soon you will see us again soon so stop being a dramaqueen- Layla said
-I dont care about you blondie, i just care about my Adrian- Nathan was really crying
-Awwww Nathan dear, dont worry...soon you will be visiting them, i am just going with them to help with everything but since Melody got pregnant, i need to come to help my daughter in law aswell hehehe
-You Lucky Beth, i wish i was related to Adrian....he is my best friend ever!!-Nathan was upset
-Dude, we will meet soon i promise- Adrian said smiling- thanks for helping us with everything, like you arent just my friend, you are my brother soo we are related
They hugged tight and Layla smiled
-I hated you all my lilfe but i must to confess something, i am gonna miss you Nathan- Layla said
-Hahahahahaha i knew it blondie-Nathan hugged Layla, Justin and Amelia -Guys, i hope i can see you all soon and i wish the best luck in the world for you guys!!!-Nathan said- and i mean it
-Group hug- Adrian smiled and hugged them all
Meanwhile
Victor was in cell and he heard the other three guys speaking, they were gesticulating too much, Victor was curious and he decided to ask his cell partner about what they were talking about
-So, Nigro, what they are talking about??? they are talking as if they were planning something...-Victor said
-And they are Victor lad...
-What??-Victor asked
-They will escape, tonight-Nigro said
-Escape?? how???- Victor asked
-Bald dude has digged a hole for a year now-Nigro said- the others helped him and last night bald dude managed to get make an exit for the prisoners
-Wow thats awesome
-Dont you wanna escape?? -Nigro asked
-Whats the point??-Victor asked- nothing makes me want to escape
-Oh really? then what about that woman that you told me? Layla right?-Nigro asked - you confessed me that you came to jail in her place
-Yeah, thats exactly what happened-Victor said
-So you have feeling for the bitchyyy?-Nigro asked
-DONT CALL HER THAT!-Victor got defensive
-Soz pal....but you just have proven my point, i am gonna speak to bald dude and tell him that you also wanna escape from jail tonight
-Me??? i never said anything pal- Victor said
-You just confessed your love for this Layla- Nigro said- she is the woman of your life right?
-She is taken- Victor said- and besides that, i started to think, since i came to jail, Layla never came to see me, maybe i was a fool trying to protect like i did
-No Victor, you aint no fool dude, you are just in love and when we are in love we do the craziest things ever..
-Nah Nigro, but like i lost my faith, i dont believe in love, i told her i loved and thats why i was doing all this but you know what she did? nothing, she allowed this to happen to me soo i dont wanna ever leave this prison or else i will have to face her again...
-Yeah Victor, you will have to face the love of her life, forgive her Victor...-Nigro said- life would be pointless if God didnt created forgivess, i am gonna tell you something Victor, You think you have lost your faith but you have not, you have only misplaced your faith and you can't find it where it lies now. Deep in your soul and the way to do that  Is through the simple process of love. Love yourself, forgive yourself, you can't love and forgive other people If you don't first of all love and forgive yourself. You have to realize that people are fallible beings, they make mistakes, they have to be excused from these mistakes and allowed to continue on in this quest for a better life and for goodness. So love yourself and then love other  people, please forgive yourself , go on a journey of finding love and forgiveness
-What are you? A poet??-Victor asked
-Thats Toy Story lines dude- Nigro joked- i am kidding, i wrote that when i killed my wife, i was soo jealous of her that i ended killing the person that i most loved in my life, dont do the same mistake that i did Victor, go fight for this love, leave this prison and go tell Layla how much you love her....she might tell you the same, we never know but if she says no and rejects you, at least you tried...
Victor heard his words and thought ' He is right, he is right, i still love Layla and once again i am prove her by going after her'
The hole was opened, and when the officers were changing shifts, that was the moment that many prisoners were escaping from jail. Victor insisted for Nigro also come with him but Nigro denied his help, since he was too sick and barely could move his legs.
Victor ran with the others prisoners, they were all dirty of mud but they all were escaping, the plan was sucessed.
After a few minutes, Victor was out and free of that prison. He walked for hours and hours till he could find a kind soul to give him a ride back to town.
His journey took approximately 10 hours. The sun was raising when Victor finally arrived at Layla's house.
He knocked on her door already with no more strength to walk or talk. He was hungry, he was tired, he was exhausted.
-LAYLA!!!! OPEN THE DOOR LAYLA....-
Victor tried to open the door and for a strange reason the door was opened...
-LAYLA??? LAYLA?? - he kept screaming
Victor looked around and the house was empty.
-Why the house is empty?? LAYLA??? WHERE ARE YOUUUUU?? LAYLA?????
Jonas, who was outside waiting for his kids to come outside so he could go out with them, saw Victor screaming Layla name inside of her house. He came inside the house and said
-Victor??? dude, what are you doing here??? werent you supposed to be in jail??-Jonas was making a weird face
-Dude, ive escaped jail to come after Layla...i need to tell her that i love her and i want to be together with her, she has to leave that stupid Adrian and be mine, as things were suppose to be since the start...
-Hmmm, i am afraid this wont happen- Jonas said
-How come?? do you think she will say no? do you think she will reject me??
-Victor, Layla is gone- Jonas said- i am sorry...
-Gone? gone where??-Victor asked
-She moved out- Jonas said
-Then give me her new address, come on pal, give me her new address!!!!!! i will go to her house and we will talk and hopefully things will be ok for us
-Dude, she moved to another state...-Jonas said
-Did she????-Victor said
-Yeah man-Jonas said feeling upset for Victor - i am really sorry
-When??-he asked
-Yesterday, they selled this house because Adrian got a new job...
Victor looked at Jonas and left the house
-Victor??dude , where are you going???????
Victor never replied, he walked away without a destiny. After a few minutes walking, he looked around and he was on the bridge, he looked down and he saw the cars and said to himself
-I have no reason to live if Layla is not here with me...- Victor looked once again from the bridge to the cars thinking about ending his life..
To be continued....
