Free Web NovelChapter 228: Skyla Slays At The Press Conference
"Next question," she told them calmly, ignoring the commotion her answer had caused. The mic was passed on to a female journalist who was wearing her hair in a bun.
"Are you two engaged? Did you really cheat on your ex-husband to be with Mr Zyair?" She asked, rather judgmentally. Skyla ignored her tone and remained composed.
"Yes, we are and no I didn’t cheat on my ex-husband. If any of you had paid attention to my divorce trial and press conference my lawyer held during and after the trial you would know I was physically and mentally abused during the entire nine years of my marriage. I never wanted to reveal these publicly because I respect my and other’s privacy but you people wrenched it away. Our personal space was violated in the worst possible way."
Skyla meaningfully paused, letting her words settle with them, hoping they would feel a shred of remorse for their pitiful actions. She began again. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Since the evidence shown during the trial was never made public so no one outside that courtroom saw what I am about to show you. Keep in mind these pictures are not fabricated by any means and were tested for originality by the court."
Skyla was holding the small remote which operated the projector, she nodded and her helpers who were standing at the side waiting for her instructions dimmed the lights of the hall.
With a heavy heart, Skyla pressed the button on the remote and the hand selected pictures of her abuse began to play on the large white screen making the people in the hall let out loud gasps.
The evidence she had compiled was extremely disturbing and no one was expecting her to come back at them in such a fashion. Their eyes were indeed opened by the overwhelming proof of the abuse she had brought forward. They knew she had already won the case against her ex-husband and now they knew how and why.
"You see, my ex-husband is mentally a sick man who carried out atrocities behind closed doors. I wouldn’t have brought this forward if he had just left us be, but all of you are so quick to jump to conclusions. Painted me as some gold-digger and cheater while it was him who usurped my father’s company Adam’s Corporation and cheated on me with countless women. The details of it all I have compiled in this file."
Skyla pointed at the folder on screen which had all the details related to Doran and his dirty deeds.
"Whoever wishes to have a copy can contact my friend Lawrence later and you can get one and see for yourself." Skyla concluded that answer and hoped they would at least have the decency to understand who was the abuser in her relationship.
They scribbled away, tons of pictures were captured while the murmurs never died down as the truth was contemplated in different shades. Shocked looks passed around. Skyla had reached a point that she didn’t care for their version of truth or thoughts as long as they left her and her man alone.
Several hands went up in the air, vying for attention, desperate to ask the next question.
"Yes!" Skyla nodded with her head at a young and enthusiastic looking journalist.
"Is the man behind the mask really the one in that picture with you? Is that really the face of Mr Zyair Kincaid?"
"Yes! That’s him, I have to say I had hoped for a bit of responsibility from the media on this matter. To discuss it with us before splattering his face all over. I now request all of you to show some respect to our privacy, we have literally never harmed any of you. We mind our business and yet our privacy was breached, our home was breached, our picture was stolen. The video of our home, our sanctuary was blatantly played millions of times on so many media channels. That’s a breach of our privacy at the highest level. We will be filing lawsuits against all the media outlets and social media apps which played that video and violated our rights. So be prepared for paying hefty amounts because I am going to sue you all. My lawyer will be in touch with all of you."
Her words and that ironic smile on her face sent a cold wave of fear over the brimming hall. No one had anticipated for her to make such an announcement and for a second the mouths hung open and silence prevailed.
"Next question," she spoke in that sweet voice of her but they all knew they had messed with the wrong woman.
Next journalist weighed his words carefully as he asked his question.
"Miss Skyla, firstly I would like to apologise on behalf of the journalist community for placing so many labels on you."
Skyla graciously smiled at him but that smile didn’t reach her emerald shaded eyes. She was done with fake people. He continued to speak.
"My question is. Isn’t Mr Zyair a gynophobe? Was he really a porn star before? How are you two engaged?"
Skyla drew in a deep breath. Back of her neck strained from the tension she was experiencing but she didn’t let any of this show.
"My fiancé was not born as a gynophobe. He was born a normal kid, with dreams of living a normal life. But the world we live in is far from being normal. The people here like to hurt little kids, their sick fantasies tend to hurt innocent children and then they record them and put the videos on porn sites, scarring them forever. Let me ask you a question, Mr?" Skyla left her words hanging so he could tell her his name.
"Finlay," he answered with slight reluctance.
"Mr Finlay, would you like to be touched if your body had been violated against your will throughout the course of your life?" She cocked her head at his, while her nails drummed the table surface. Shocked eyes of the people stared back at her.
"Definitely not."
"Precisely, he didn’t choose this life, it was chosen for him from a very young age. There was nothing he could do about it. And when he finally tried to turn a new leaf, escaped that life, you people reminded him that he couldn’t. You people proved he was right to hide his face because he knew how the world would see him if his identity was revealed. Instead of going for the people who put him through so much pain, you came for my man. You people should be ashamed of yourselves. Picking apart the character of the man who stood against all odds and rose irrespective of what the world had done to him. Who helped countless people and turned lives around of thousands with his innovative ideas and collaboration. You people should target these people and help Police put them behind bars for pedophilia, sexual assault against the minors and rape."
Skyla pressed the play button again and the compilation she had made of all the people who had hurt him over the years began to play. She had spent three days and nights with Huria and Erin’s help finding these videos from different porn sites and dark web. Parts of her soul had been tainted black forever after the horrors she had witnessed but she was determined to bring these culprits to justice. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
The video began to play and so many faces came into view, some were even people with a standing in the society. Cameras kept recording and clicking and Skyla could see their faces turning ashen and their jaws dropping to the ground.
Skyla knew what a risk it was to expose people with influence but she wouldn’t sit back after what she had witnessed.
