Chapter 36

As we stood outside the courtroom, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. This was it, the moment of truth. Maya and I had worked tirelessly to prepare our case, and Liam was by our side, looking adorable in his little suit.

Maya and I exchanged a determined glance. We were in this together, and we were going to fight for what was rightfully ours.

"Let's do this," Maya said, her voice firm.

I nodded, taking a deep breath. "Let's show Mr. Blackwood that he can't bully us around."

With Liam holding our hands, we walked into the courtroom, ready to face whatever lay ahead.

The judge looked up as we entered, and Mr. Blackwood's lawyer sneered at us from across the room.

But we didn't let it intimidate us. We stood tall, united in our determination to bring Mr. Blackwood down.

The judge banged his gavel, signaling the start of the trial. Maya and I exchanged a look, and then we began our fight for justice.
