"Huh, so you are telling that I picked a liar, and she had been deceiving all this ti?"
"Um, that’s indeed the case. If she could do sothing like that previously, then why couldn’t she do it now? Have you ever wondered why she ended up in your family and why she picked yours in particular? She is very calculative? Look, she even swapped your child with hers. No wonder why she loves Tiana so much. That’s her own flesh and blood!"
Her own flesh and blood .... Flesh and blood ... that rang in his mind repeatedly and he found it so funny.
Surely Raine ca prepared this ti. Everything was finally coming together. If he was a fool and didn’t know the inside story, he would have taken the bait and given Briar the guilty verdict.
"That’s not all. If you don’t believe the mother, I even found soone willing to testify. Briar is a murderer, Logan. You can’t keep such a person!" Raine suddenly yelled, her eyes red as that confession swirled in her mind.
"What did you say?" Logan slamd the table as soon as he heard that, the tremor in his voice loud for her to hear.
Raine clenched her fists seeing him acting like that and ruthlessly took out the last recorder from the bag and passed it over to him.
Logan’s hand shook as he took the recorder at a crazy speed.
Murderer! That was one strong accusation he couldn’t easily ignore just because he wanted to.
The other accusations he could ignore since he found them very unbelievable, but murder, if that was indeed the case, then it would be very complicated.
Of course, he didn’t believe that she was capable of doing such a thing. What he was afraid of were these shaless people pinning a cri of murder on her head just to get rid of her.
If it wasn’t for him marrying her, she wouldn’t be facing such ugly accusations. She would be living her life peacefully, but because she was with him, all kinds of things were popping up.
He needed to hear this and if there was soone to confess, see him or her as well and see where that was going.
There should be a reason why the matter wasn’t reported to the authorities but brought to him, right?
[Are you sure that what you are about to tell is the truth?]
[Hehe .... Beauty, how can I lie to you? I have been keeping this matter to myself for years. Since you are eager to pay, I can’t lie,] a lecherous male voice sounded after Raine’s question.
[And how do I know that you aren’t lying?]
[How about telling you my real na?]
[Oh ~ give it to . If you lie, I will co after you and everything that you love!]
[That’s why I won’t lie to you.]
[Fine, now spill!]
Logan listened to the recording sitting with his back straight, his mind calculating.
From the tone of the man on the recording, he could tell that he didn’t seem to be lying, and that was a bit worriso for him.
[My na is Moses Fadu, and I used to live in the neighboring village from where Briar and her family lived. You know that they lived in Silos village, but I am not sure where Briar migrated to over a decade ago. I think that she was fifteen.]
[You seem to know her a lot!]
[How can I not? She was one of those village girls who worked so hard and had other mothers envying her for having no such daughter.]
[You seem to like her a lot?]
[Hohoho, how can I not like her? There were a lot of guys from the other villages who were targeting her. She would have made a great, hardworking wife. She had the right curves and a big butt, very suitable for childbearing.]
[Then were you sad when she left the village?]
[Heck no! If I didn’t see the true colors of that wench, I might have, but do you know? When she was still young, not sure what age. A friend of mine was one hell of a hooligan. A scoundrel who made a lot of girls suffer in the village without paying anything for it!]
When Logan heard that part, his eyes narrowed as he connected a few dots.
It seed that this Moses guy was talking about the period when Briar was working and if he wasn’t mistaken, it should be when she was around eleven to fifteen. It also made the period very perfect for males to be eager to target her for marriage. She would eb considered a woman as long as she bleeds.
Why was everyone so interested in that period?
[What did he do? That friend of yours!]
[Hehe, the last ti I checked, he should have been following Briar every day. I was busy with other things so I barely focused on him, but I rember hearing him talking about how he was going to bring her to his house and make her work hard like a donkey for his family.]
[Oh~ what does that an exactly?]
[Our villagers are very strict when it cos to won’s chastity. If a girl loses her chastity to a man, she is supposed to follow that man lest she want to be condemned. So, in most cases, when a maiden rejects the advances of a male, the males could make extre advances, which would result in the reputation of the certain maiden being damaged.
In this case, the male would force the maiden and sleep with her. Once her chastity is gone, then the deal would be done. If she doesn’t want to suffer the scorn of the villagers, she would have to marry that man whether she likes it or not.]
[Isn’t this rape and forcing others? You know that if you get reported, you might be sentenced to prison for a very long ti, right?]
