Advertisement
Krew's lawyer was finally able to get my father another trial with a different judge.
"You ready to go baby". Krew asked walking into my room.
"Yeah I'm just nervous and where is Miranda". I asked turning around to look at him.
"She downstairs waiting on us so let's go before we be late". He said grabbing my hand and dragging me out.
We walked to the living room and Miranda was sitting on the couch watching tv. She looked a little off but I didn't question it.
"Hey girly are you ready". I ask as she pulls me into a hug.
"Um y-yeah I'm r-ready". She said causing me to pull away from the hug.
"You okay". I ask and she clears her throat before nodding.
"Yeah yeah let's go". She said walking out of the door.
"What's up with her". I ask as we walk out and I lock my door.
"I don't know she must be nervous". He said opening the car door for me.
I get in and he closes the door before getting in himself and pulling off.
Pulling up to the court house there were cameras and reporters everywhere.
We get out and make our way towards the building.
"Ma'am you're the daughter how do you feel about your father being the most talked about murderer". A reporter asked and Krew roughly pushed him out of my way.
"Stay your ass out my girl face asking her dumb shit". He said pointing in his face.
Finally making it inside we start to walk inside when Miranda stops.
"I have to go to the bathroom I'll meet you guys inside". She said and we nod before walking in and taking a seat waiting for the trial to start.
After using the restroom and washing my hands I go and walk out when I am snatched into an empty hall. I look and see that it's officer Roth. I've been having problems with him since he killed my brother. That's why the night they picked up Sariahs dad I ran.

"I hear that you're here to testify that the retard didn't do it". He said chuckling as he looked at the ground before looking at me.
"You see you're going to go in there and you're going to tell them that you saw him do it". He said and I shook my head.
"No I won't do that you won't ruin their lives like you did my families". I said and he walked over to me before wrapping his hand around my neck tightly holding his gun to my head with the other.
"Like I said you're going to go in there and say you saw him kill her or you're going to end up like your brother and so will your friends you got that". He asked as I cried.
"I SAID DO YOU FUCKING GO THAT". He yelled pushing my into the wall roughly.
I nod my head and he lets me go backing away.
"Good lets go". He said glaring at me pulling me out of the empty hall.
In the midst of me looking around I saw a camera where we just were and there was a red light letting me know it was recording.
Walking into the court room the trial had started and I was being called up.
"So tell us what you saw that night". The lawyer asked walking back and forth.
I look around the room and my eyes land on Sariah and she gives me a small smile with the thumbs up and then I look over at Roth who was making a gun gesture to Sariah then Krew and then me.
No one saw him because he was standing in the back.
"I was coming from the store and I heard yelling so I went to go see what's going on and I saw the man kill her". I said looking down at my lap.

"By the man are you implying Mr.Jacobs". He asked and I started tearing up before nodding.
"WHAT MIRANDA TELL THE TRUTH". Sariah yelled as I looked at Roth who was smirking.
"I'm so sorry Sariah". I said and she looked at me in disbelief.
"Sorry is that all you have to say to me you're lying to these people tell them what you told me". She said standing up and a few officers walked over to her trying to calm her down.
"Please take a seat Ms.Jacobs". The judge said but Sariah only shook her head and walked out with Krew following behind her.
How could she just lie like that I thought she was cool but she's just like everybody else.
"Baby please calm down". Krew said rubbing my shoulders.
"He's never getting out they're going to keep him locked up and he doesn't deserve that". I said trying to keep tears from falling but it was no use.
"Listen to me baby if I got to dig a hole to get inside the prison I'll do it and send y'all out of the country".He said causing me to laugh a little bit.
"See there we go that's that smile I love to see now come on let's go back in there your father needs us". He said and I nod following him in catching a little bit of what the judge was saying.
"The evidence and this witnesses information does not match and I would like to take more time to look into this do court will resume in two days court dismissed". The judge said standing up gathering her things.
"Can I hug him". I asked causing her to stop what she's doing and look up.
"Please I promise I'll be quick". I said and she looked at my dad before looking at me.
"Go ahead". She said and I walked around the gate wrapping my arms around him.
"Daddy Love Sariah". He said laying his head in the crook of my neck.
"Sariah loves daddy more". I said pulling away from the hug kissing his cheek.
"Daddy go home with Sariah now". He asked looking at me with hopefully eyes.
"Not today daddy but I'll come see you tomorrow". I said and he started tearing up.
"Alright Mr.Jacobs it's time to go". The female officer that's been looking out for him said.
He nodded and they started walking away. After they were out of the court room I turn and walk back over to Krew.
"Let's go". I said walking past him.
I'm going to beat Miranda's ass for that stunt she pulled in court...

Transmigrated as an NTR’ed protagonist.
WARNING!!! The mc of this novel is weak(mentally) and thus unlikable. The story also has a tag SLOW-PACE. Which means there won't be a lot of actions going on from the get-go.Erlig, a senior in a respectable college lived his whole life without knowing such a word as trouble. Stable life with no accidents, great parents, and a good friend. Gaming was his hobby.But when he tried a new game something happened to him.He was trapped in a new world as the protagonist of this game. The worst is that he was cuckolded, humiliated, and beaten down. Not knowing how this happened he now forced to live a different life.Those things, that looked like fiction in the game turned out to be much more real. He is forced to confront the dark and grimy world that looks much harsher than what he always saw. The only things that left in his changed world, is his meager knowledge of the game and his, own, self.Given such a miraculous opportunity, he is forcibly taken out from his bubble and placed between a choice.To break and fall or to forever change his fate, his life, and everything around him. A little description to give a better understanding of what this story is about. It's my vision on a fusion of Korean fighting manhwas and Korean r-18 romance manhwas with the protagonist that is not typical to those particular works.Author's note: As this is my first novel and English is not my native language any criticism would be appreciated. Release schedule: At least one chapter every week.I also post on Scribble Hub and Webnovel.
