>>> The Judgement >>>

The Judge: I hearby sentence you to 20 years imprisonment with hard Labour for fraud and attempted murder.
Louis stood up immediately and called for the judge attention.
Louis: My lord, I’m sorry but I will plead with you to exclude the hard labour from his punishment because he was the same person my Lovely and beautiful wife one’s loved.
Please your honour grant him a mild judgement.
Thank you.
Court clerk: Order…!!!

I hereby sentence you Mr Chima Ike to 15years Imprisonment and at a different prison made for specified and special people.
Court ! Court !!!
Amanda who was short of words only said Thank you so much love.
Chima in the other hand was shocked and short of words as well because he can’t imagine the person he wanted to kill reduced and deduct his sentence and in a special way.
Chima: Louis, Amanda so you both are really married (crying) I’m happy for you two.
I have been very stupid to do this to you Amanda because you are one of God’s precious creature with a kind heart.
Thank you Louis for forgiving me and reducing my sentence to a mild one.
Louis: it’s okay man, it’s all because of Amanda my wife here.
Chima: I know, she’s indeed really changed you.
I can now see that I was really the Obstacle Between you Lovers….
I was the block Between LOVERS and when the block was removed which was me.
A clear Way and door opened which was when Louis spoke like an educated man. (Crying the more).
Amanda can’t help it but cried as well.
Louis dried Amanda’s tears and she said;
Amanda: Chima promise me that when you’re out of the prison you will and definitely change your lifestyle.
And when you do that you will surely find your True love..
Louis: Yes dear (he said to Amanda).
That’s true Man. For I, Louis to act mentally-ill and I found the love of my life you can’t be an exception.
Chima: I know that, thank you so much Louis and thank you so much for your forgiveness and making realise my mistakes.
God bless you both and have a Happy Married life.(he said) as the policemen handcuff him and taking him away to the specified prison as instructed by the judge during the judgement.
Louis: Now darling, do you know what’s next when we get home?
