Honey And Toxins (Not a Common Contract)
Chapter 34: The Trial

Irene is the daughter of Denias and Gita. When they were starting the company, Denias and Gita were dating. But unexpectedly, Gita got pregnant out of wedlock when their company was crawling up.

Because they do not want the public to know, also for the sake of maintaining the popularity of the company. Gita and Denias agree to marry but hide their status and children from the public spotlight.

Two years after Gita gave birth to Irene, Raline also gave birth to a son after 5 years of marriage. He also never exposed Ammar to the public spotlight. He takes care of his family's privacy.

The media and the public only know they have children, but no one knows for sure how many children and their age.

Until the fire that took their lives. Ammar and Irene are taken care of by a long-serving servant to the Dawson family, Ms. Lila.

They were brought to America by Ms. Lila to continue their education. While the company is managed by Damar. Although Miss Lila raised them, she did not want to get too close to Ammar and Irene. He was purely serving as a maid, because he knew being involved in the affairs of the rich was not easy.

But who would have thought, Irene grew up to be a psychopathic girl who did not hesitate to kill someone's life. Especially if the person is very disturbing to him. He felt that killing could solve the problem.

Ammar and Lila who knew it tried to stop, but Irene could not stop. Eventually they were always the ones who cleared up Irene's insanity.

At the age of 22, Ammar finished his education. And brought home by Miss Lila. Irene and Ammar went into the company as startups. To be able to run the relics of their parents properly. But gradually Irene and Ammar suspect Damar.

Slowly their suspicions are proven, they try hard to find hard evidence but very difficult. Until Irene finally put on her craziness, killing an accomplice who was involved with her parents' death.

Ammar couldn't stop Irene, he just cleared up what Irene had done. He knew it was wrong, but he could not report Irene's actions. He didn't want to have to part with Irene, he was the only one Ammar had.

Many years of living together made them protect each other, love, and love. They complement each other and eventually fall in love with each other.

When Ammar was 25 years old, he flew back to America to marry Irene. Their status in Indonesia is Brother and sister, but when in America they live with a real identity. They live with two identities, namely husband and sister. That's why Ammar can only make wedding documents abroad. That was also because he kept his marriage a secret and married Nara in order to seize the company.

But Irene's plan wasn't just that. He will make Nara bear his deeds, after Damar succeeded he disappeared, he will make all the murders as Nara did. Killing the person who abused her, a reasonable enough motive right?

After all that is done, then he will live as himself. As the wife of Ammar, and as the son of Denias. He will reveal who he is not the son of Erland's leader. Of course after he got rid of Damar.

...~~...

This morning Irene and Ammar were calmer. They slept one room after last night's fight. Although Irene's mood was a mess, she had to keep acting in front of Nara so that her plans were not in vain.

"You want to go?" asked Nara, she also looked neatly to attend the Damar case trial.

"Where are you going?" Irene asked, she seemed to have forgotten that there was a trial today.

"You're not accompanying him? Today, Damar and Nara have a trial." Ammar also just remembered, Irene must be present as a witness. Because he was the one who got the tape back then.

"aah.hright! I almost forgot. You take care of my job. Come on Nara, let's go together." Get Irene ready.

"Wait a minute, I'm gonna give this back..." Nara handed me the Ammar shirt. Washed clean and ironed. Yeah, the white shirt he was wearing that night out of Ammar's room.

Ammar let out a heavy sigh, just as he made peace with Irene over the incident. Why did Nara bring it up in such an intense way. The timing is not right, but how.

"What's that..?" Irene pretended not to know. Though his mind was boiling again remembering what had happened between them.

Ammar took the shirt out of Nara's hand. He could feel the heat rising from inside Irene's head.

"Quick go, you can be late" said Ammar to divert the awkward atmosphere.

...~~...

The trial was very hot, the evidence submitted by Irene was removed by the Judge because Damar's lawyer managed to make an alibi at the time of the incident.

Because the perpetrator's face was not recorded clearly, and Damar's false alibi was quite strong. The judge eventually dropped the harassment charge and found Damar not guilty of lacking evidence.

"Wait for Your Majesty! Why did you get rid of my evidence on the grounds that his face was not clearly visible?Isn't the alibi the suspect made invalid?" Irene seemed to be unable to accept the verdict of the Judge.

Damar's lawyers only called a few false witnesses. He paid the men to testify that they met Damar that night. There was no recorded evidence, Damar completely compensated for Irene's vulgarity.

"If you have solid evidence, please appeal" the judge said, then stood up to leave the courtroom.

Irene glanced sharply at Damar, as if she was aiming at the old man with her gaze. The arrow he launched was successfully dodged by Damar very easily. He also manipulated evidence of embezzlement at that time, so that he could escape the investigation very easily.

Despite the failure, things still seem to be on Irene's side. Because the false accusations were not revealed. Now he just needs to prove that Damar's alibi is a fake. Or if it doesn't work out, he and Ammar are forced to use other means to uncover Damar's decay in the past.

...~~...

Night came, as usual Ammar came home with a state of complete darkness. He looked towards Nara's room, the sound of music so loud that it was heard outside the room.

"lady..! Did he make a karaoke room there?" rutuk Ammar.

"Hey..!" Ammar banged on Nara's bedroom door very hard.

Nara who was karaokean immediately turned off her music. "So did someone call?" he murmured, he walked towards the door.

"What are you doing?" ketus Ammar just after the door opened.

"I'm bored, go if you just want to interrupt!" reply Nara no less ketus, he is still upset over all her. Anyway, that voice won't make it to Ammar's room.

"Is Irene not home yet? I see the car doesn't exist.."

brrakk!

Nara locked the door to her room. Irene's not home? Is Ammar going to take another chance this time?

"I won't just shut up this time..!" rutuk Nara's.
