from “remember that we made this together — cherry wine” . "do you swear that the evidence you shall give to the court in this matter shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you god?" "i do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that the evidence i shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." “you may begin your evidence.” “so firstly, shame on him, kyc. i don’t carry it. i refuse it. it does not live on my skin. he gaslighted me. manipulated me. took my pure intention and twisted it into labour. he promised we would build a life. that the money would be for us. that it was for our future, our marriage, our home where i would have a garden full of flowers and a nice kitchen. and what did i receive? nothing. nothing but black. nothing but lies. call it what you want. i know what it is. he locked doors. hid behind screens. used vpns like curtains of shame. he consumed gore. war footage. bodies torn apart. from “remember that we made this together — cherry wine” . soldiers killed by drones. bombs. accidents. massacres. ****** and suicide after ****** he watched people die and called it satisfaction. and then he showed it to me. watched my fear like it was entertainment. this man has no empathy. not for strangers. not for me. i begged for softness. i begged for safety. i was dreaming of becoming his wife. do you understand that? i was planning a future while he was feeding on destruction. he did not just hurt me. he ruined my belief in love, in partnership, in tomorrow, in myself. he left scars you cannot photograph. and i can’t articulate well. built a wall inside my chest brick by brick with silence and cruelty. the person who trusted him is dead. he killed the innocent version of me. and if this… if this… is still not enough to call him to account, then i truly do not know what justice stands for.” “that is all, your honour.” “no. it’s not. it’s just too much to say. if you see him, you will know. you will... you will know.”
