Chapter Fourteen
MICHELLE HOWARD
Iwas stressed out of my mind. How the hell DeMarco managed to get a court date so early? I thought I at least had a few weeks. A few months even. I know he did some dirty, underhanded shit. That motherfuckaâ thought throwing around his money was gonâ stop me? He had another thing coming. I wasnât gonna stop until I got everything I deserved, and then some.
The court was called to order, snapping me from my thoughts. With my hands clasped in front of me, my eyes stayed focused on the judge as he stepped out of his chambers and walked up the steps to the bench. As soon as he sat in the high back leather chair, his eyes landed on me. It was a closed hearing. Just me, my lawyer, DeMarco, his lawyer.
Clearing his throat, the judge fidgeted in his seat, pushing his thick-rimmed glasses up on his face before addressing the court. The fuck he fidgeting for?
DeMarco ass paid him. Thatâs what. Thatâs why the hell heâs looking all damn nervous.
âThis hearing is regarding Mia Hernandez, who is currently in the care of her mother. From the paperwork I have in front of me, Mr. Smith, I understand that your client was accused of child endangerment?â
âThatâs correct, Your Honor. But those accusations are false and have been proven. I have documents from CPS stating that there were no findings to support Ms. Howardâs claim. This was just another case of a bitter baby mama,â DeMarco lawyer stated, and that set me the fuck off.
âBitter baby mama? I ainât fucking bitter! Thatâs my child too. I carried her for nine damn months while he was out in the fuckinâ streets, selling drugs!â
âMs. Howard, have a seat. I wonât take that type of outburst in my courtroom. Now, if what Mr. Smith is saying is proven to be true, you will face charges for filing a false report,â this crooked motherfuckaâ said to me.
I nudged my lawyer in the arm and gave him a look to let him know to open his damn mouth about this shit.
âYour Honor, this is absurd. My client has tried on numerous occasions to see her daughter, and Mr. Hernandez refused,â my lawyer tried to defend me.
âThatâs not true. My client had never denied Ms. Howard seeing their daughter. She was the one who left him to raise her for the past five years,â Mr. Steve pointed out to the Judge.
It took everything in me to keep my cool. I wanted to slap that damn smirk off DeMarcoâs face. Sitting over there in his expensive ass suit, legs crossed with his hands clasped together like he was the shit. So, the fuck what everything my lawyer said was a lie. This crooked ass judge didnât need to know that.
âOkay, I think I heard enough. From what Iâm seeing in this paperwork, Mr. Smith presented, thereâs no proof of any child endangerment,â Judge McCormick said before addressing DeMarcoâs lawyer. âIâm assuming you will be submitting the necessary paperwork for dismissal?â
âYes, Your Honor,â he responded.
