TWIST OF FATE

CHAPTER 12: Promp's Suprise

Kemmy's tears flowed uncontrollably as Christian approached her. "It's okay, Kemmy," he whispered softly. "Even if you never loved me, I always did." His gentle words only made her cry harder, and she buried her face in his chest.

After several minutes, Kemmy's sobs finally subsided, exhausted. "I was a fool," she whispered, her voice trembling. "My father became wealthy, and I became happy. I was so engrossed in wealth that I forgot everything important to me. Now I know that wealth can't give happiness and joy. It can't even give true love."

Kemmy's eyes welled up with tears again as she looked up at Christian. "I'm sorry, Christian, for the way I treated you from the moment I met you until now. I was just a fool."

Christian's face broke into a warm, comforting smile. "It's okay, Kemmy. I'm always here for you," he said, his voice filled with kindness. Kemmy's heart swelled with emotion, and she couldn't help but hug him tightly.

the next week, Harrison appeared in court.

The Honorable Judge: Harrison Victor, please explain yourself and present your proof.

Harrison Victor: Thank you, my lord. From a young age, I've been passionate about design. However, my work seemed undervalued, and I struggled to find employment. As I grew older, I decided to focus on fabric production and sales.

Harrison Victor: The business showed promise, but it wasn't exceptionally successful until Madame Lucia discovered my designs. She offered me the opportunity to manage the industry, which I accepted. However, I was soon accused of forging designs, leading to my appearance in this court today. That's all I can say for now, my lord.

Here's the edited text:

*Court Transcript*

The Honorable Judge: John Mark, can you explain yourself?

John Mark: Yes, my lord. I'm a junior designer at the company. I'll briefly explain. " However, may I ask why our director didn't appear to defend my case today?" the judge asked. but he remained silent.

The Honorable Judge: You have no response? Your silence speaks volumes.

The Honorable Judge: Since you have no further explanation, we'll proceed to the proof stage. I instruct both of you to design an exact replica of the disputed design. This will ultimately reveal the true creator.

Harrison Victor and John Mark nodded, understanding the task.

Harrison was able to design it exactly the way it was and John Mark couldn't.

*Court Verdict*

The Honorable Judge: After careful consideration, the evidence is clear. Harrison Victor's design perfectly replicates the original, while John Mark's attempt falls woefully short. His incompetence in design proves his guilt.

By a unanimous decision, John Mark is found guilty of forgery and perjury. His sentence: three years' imprisonment. Court adjourned.

The courtroom erupted in murmurs of approval as Harrison Victor, acquitted and vindicated, smiled triumphantly. Kemmy and Christian, his supporters, shared a tearful moment of relief.

_Aftermath_

As George faced arrest, Lucia and Ronald rushed to apologize to Harrison. "Congratulations on winning the case, Harrison," Lucia said, smiling warmly. "I'm deeply sorry for not trusting you. Please, return to the office and resume your work."

Harrison smiled graciously. "Thank you for the opportunity, Miss Lucia. However, I've decided to leave the city. I'll be returning to my hometown with my family this weekend."

Kemmy's joy at her father's acquittal was short-lived, as she overheard Harrison's plans to leave. Her heart sank, thinking of Christian, her dear friend.

Meanwhile, Daniel moved out of George's house and joined Harrison's family. She became a loving and caring older sister to Kemmy, who cherished their bond.

Rhoda, struggling to cope with her circumstances, tragically took her own life, leaving Rose to care for her little sister amidst unbearable hardship.

Here's the polished version:

_Prom Night_

The prom had finally arrived, and everyone looked stunning. Kemmy made a grand entrance, captivating the audience with her beauty. Ryan immediately took her hand, and they walked together, turning heads.

Cassie and Christian also made a striking pair, drawing admiring glances. The evening seemed perfect, but beneath the surface, emotions churned. Christian struggled with jealousy as he watched Kemmy dance with Ryan.

_As the Night Unfolds_

The program progressed smoothly, with Sonia making a surprise appearance and dancing with Jake, Chris, and Ella. The moment of truth arrived as the organizer took the stage.

_Prom Queen and King_

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's my privilege to announce the prom queen and king!" The audience held its collective breath. "And the winners are... Kemmy Harrison and Ryan Ronald!" The crowd erupted in cheers and applause.

_Kemmy's Speech_

Kemmy took the microphone, her voice sincere. "I never believed in prom, and I still don't. I thought it was a horrible thing; but it's not because it reveals what true love means. Of course, this Is not me; fancy clothes , popularity, dating the most handsome guys. I'm simple to everyone's deslike. I've learnt that you don't have to be someone you're not. Just be you; just do you and be happy; that's all that matters. ... Ryan, I'm sorry, but this crown doesn't belong to me." She said as she handed the crown back to Ryan and descended the stage, where she hugged Christian tightly. "Thank you for showing me true love." Christian smiled and hugged her back.

The next morning, Kemmy and her family prepared to leave. Christian appeared at their doorstep, disappointed. "You're seriously leaving?" Kemmy apologized, and they shared a tearful goodbye. "I'll always keep you in my heart. Take care of yourself, and don't look for trouble." Christian whispered, "I love you, Kemmy." She hugged him, tears streaming down her face. "I love you too, Christian."

Years passed, and Shein married Daniel. they both lived a happy life. Kemmy reflected on her journey, cherishing memories of Christian, Sonia, and the past. She prayed for everyone's happiness as she drifted off to sleep.
