The hearing takes place on the last Friday in November. I’ve spent the past week preparing myself for any and every question that might fly my way. Yeah, I gave in to Kir’s silent plea. He didn’t remind me of it even once, but I saw it in his eyes, how desperately he wanted me to clear my name.
To be honest, I was too fed up with everything. I’ve been through hell and back. I couldn’t let them accuse me of being my mother’s accomplice, not after I tried to murder her in cold blood! In front of their eyes, might I add.
My aunt has been her for two days already. She had to come personally to sign the papers that she’s letting me testify at this hearing. Well, it’s not really a hearing, it’s more of a formality, judging by what her and Kir have told me.
The process is actually called a wit
