Chapter Sixteen

Taya was sitting in an interrogation room. They said she burned them. There were whispers around her by cops who felt sympathy for her. They believed the boys got what they deserved but they all knew she would be the one to pay for their crimes.

The door opened and a man in a suit walked in with her parents. He was the lawyer they went away to hire. The public defender told her from the beginning she was going to jail; it was just how much time she would spend in there that was the unknown.

Her dad walked up to him and whispered in his ear. The man blanched, grabbed his brief case, and ran out the room. Now her parents were back with another lawyer.

“Hi, I’m Marcus Gramby, the lawyer your parents have hired for your case.”

“Hi,” she gave him a weak smile. “So how much time do you think I’ll have to do in jail?”

“None. The question is not about time behind bars but how far you want to take this case.”

She gave him a slow blink. They should be in jail for what they did to her. If she was correct, she wasn’t the first girl this happened to.

“What do you mean?”

“Taya, I need to be honest with you. Michael Harwith II has the backing of his father’s money. As long as he has that, he can fight this case and if he loses he can appeal. You have the backing of a strong father, he’s the reason I am here, but he doesn’t have the same access to the resources the Harwiths have.”

How could she have been so clueless? When she met him she was excited that someone with so much prestige saw that she was up and coming. He never saw that. To him she was a wanna be to be taken down a few pegs and shown her rightful place in life.

“So you have a choice. You can go to court and explain to the world and believe me this will make the news. They will ask you how the boys were burned although I don’t believe you did it, that doesn’t matter; you will be seen as vindictive. Some will say you deserved to get your payback; others will look at you differently. No matter what, your life will always be shadowed by what happened and the trial that followed it. Your other option would be not to press charges as long as charges are not pressed against you. This, of course, would be in writing and if either party violated the terms of agreement there would be a trial as well as prosecution for breach of contract.”

Taya raised her eyes and looked at her parents. Her mom with her straight black hair that Taya inherited from her and her sky blue eyes looked close to tears. Her mom, she’d fight until she died for her daughter, but in the end it was the look on her dad’s face that allowed her to come to a decision.
