Chapter 4: Judgment Day
Three months later...
The courtroom overflowed with reporters.
Isabella entered wearing a plain gray suit instead of designer gowns.
The confidence that once defined her had disappeared.
The prosecutor played the surveillance footage one final time.
Every juror watched in silence.
Then Dr. Adrian Bennett testified.
"The kick could have killed both mother and child."
Medical experts confirmed permanent complications caused by the assault.
The defense tried everything.
Stress.
Jealousy.
Emotional instability.
Nothing changed the facts.
After four hours of deliberation...
The jury returned.
"Guilty."
On every count.
The judge looked directly at Isabella.
"Violence driven by envy is still violence."
"You deliberately assaulted a pregnant woman."
"You abused privilege, manipulated witnesses, and showed no remorse."
The courtroom remained silent.
"I hereby sentence you to twelve years in state prison."

The gavel struck.
Everything Isabella had spent years building disappeared in a single second.
