Several long and short days passed after ending the filming of the marriage story.
After the end of it, while the editing department under Niko was immersed in the process of it, Ian and the others focused on the pre-production of Home Alone 2.
[September 13th, 2019]
“We have got a lot to do, and I’m pretty sure within the next few days it will be possible. If anything, the props should be the problem,” Raelynn said as soon as they walked out of the office.
Up until now, Raelynn and Ian hadn’t had any sort of one-on-one talk after the ‘situation’. But in a way, it was good considering that Ian too had a lot on his plate.
“It wouldn’t be that much of a problem,” Sha Lin replied.
Yes, it was the same guy that Ian had offered the job in the coffee shop that had a little fight with the manager. He was now working as a helping hand with the prop master.
“I know, but eh, this nervousness is for the good. Let’s go over the items once again, so that when we finally get to visit the locations, we’d have a clear idea,” Raelynn muttered.
“Alright,” Sha Lin said and they got into work.
Thus, the pre-production was in the hands of the experts, and what we’ve got to worry about is the trial, and how it would turn out.
On the other side of the office, Ian was talking to Mason.
“...Three more days, and we’ll finally get closer to see if the baby is mine,” Ian said and chuckled.
“We would have known before, but the entire process was in red tape, and I’m glad that shit is over. Is it just me who thinks that there’s someone behind it?” Mason asked back.
“I can’t say much without evidence, but it’s alright. After the DNA test, everything will solve. That’s the least we can hope for. After all, even people are asking for justice.”
Mason noticed the frown and the sadness in Ian’s eyes. He realized how strong Ian is for such a young age to handle all the pressure of media.
“The justice will be ours, son. Let’s not stress it, all you’ve got to do is, focus on the premiere of Marriage Story, and then sit back and enjoy its success of it. The lawyers are there, PR team is there. Don’t worry.”
“I appreciate it, uncle. Thanks,” Ian said while his hand met Mason’s shoulder.
With two taps, Ian walked away.

The day of the trial arrived sooner than Ian had expected. He was thinking that maybe it should post-pone it a bit more considering how nervous he was, but again, every time that thought would come up, his other side of the brain yelled,
‘Don’t you wanna get rid of this soon?!’
Moving on to the real story, Ian got out of his SUV, with bodyguards covering him to pave the way inside the court.
The reporters and the media were going crazy even before Ian had arrived, and the craziness tripled when Ian got out of the car.
“...And as we can see, Ian Renner just got out of the car, and walked towards the court. He looks pretty guilty, but today we’d get to at least know the truth behind this whole scene.
“The opposite party, Sarah came out with Mr. Grit and Mr. Fay, who are known to be very powerful, and this is going to be interesting, so we suggest that you stay with us until we share the latest of the trial of Ian Renner!”
That was a lady who was far away from the crowd who had gathered around the entrance of the court.
Many questions were being asked from Ian, who gave nothing—not even a nod toward the ladies and gentlemen.
“Ian, is this fair to you? How do you feel about being accused of abandoning a woman while she is pregnant with your child-”
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
“Ian Renner, this is the second time you have been accused, and we want to know what your thoughts are about-”
“Mr. Ian Renner, what does it mean that you’ve been ignoring all the social-”
Every step Ian took, gave him more reasons to run inside and see who the father of the kid was straight away.
……..
Ian, the lawyers, and everyone else stood as the judge was about to sit.
“Sit,” the judge said and everyone sat.
[...] Within minutes the trial started and many opinions and thoughts were going in and out of the jury hearing.
“... Yes, thank you, Mr. Grit. To proceed to the respectful court, Mr. Ian Renner had requested to get a DNA test of the baby, Lilian. The court approves it. For that, we approve the hospital of MedCare, which is already aware of the decision.
Within three days, you are requested to get a DNA test of the baby, am I clear?” The judge asked Sarah.
Sarah gulped and looked at the lawyers.
“Is there any problem?” the judge asked further, noticing no reply from her.
She was at the box of witnesses, as everyone kept looking at her.
“Yes, sure your honor.” She muttered out finally.
In a way, she knew that she was completely done with every act she pulled, but for the sake of the audience, and the judgmental judge, she had to keep a straight face.
A little while after that, there were several more questions focused on Sarah.
“Ms. Sarah George, you had talked to the media explaining that you felt used by Mr. Ian Renner. Why had you mentioned that?” Ian’s lawyer asked.
“I- He always gave me promises. He told me things like, he’d take care of me, or even marry me. And to be honest, I couldn’t help but trust his words. I was blinded b-by love,” Sarah said as she looked down after her words.
“Why would you think it’s love? Is there any visible proof that you can present to the court of your affair that you claim you had with Mr. Ian Renner?”
“Uh, not really,” Sarah said and looked at the people who were staring at her.
“That’s it, your honor. You can go back to your seat, and if I’m being honest here, if you trust someone else so much to think and claim that you’re in love, there’s got to be some tangible proof right? A photo together? A video? Or at least a social media proof? Gifts? Any such sorts.”
“Hmm... Okay,” the judge said and started writing things. “The shreds of evidence are loud and clear from what we heard today. The court hearing shall be postponed to the 14th of October, 2019, morning 11. as the DNA tests would take at least 4 weeks for the results to come. And then, we could proceed with the hearing from there, the court is dismissed.” She said and she stood up, which was followed by everyone in the audience.

9 pm, online.
The journalists who had permission to hear about the court case, due to how the entire thing interested the public, had written different sorts of articles that earned the interest of so many people.

The titles of the articles were no less than the comments. There were people 98% angry and talking as if Ian committed the biggest crime on Earth.
Debates were going on in the comments.
CIV/Lawandjustice: According to everything that was presented in the court, and from the article by Martin Jack read, it is pretty clear, that Ian needs to own up to his doings in the past.
CIV/Unexpected: The articles…. Gosh! I feel bad for Ian, but at the same time, if he is the father and just used her for her body, to make it worse, not keeping his promises… sucks! sucks!
CIV/funny: Unexpected: Dude, I don’t want to start a fricking argument here. But what if Sarah… or whatever her name is, is in the wrong here? She looked pretty guilty enough.
CIV/mildlyinteresting: funny: i get wut u meant. But, Ian didn’t look even once at her. Isn’t he the guilty one? Im pretty sure I'm not the only one who read the other article by M.J.Kewl about eye contact and body composure?!
CIV/movies: funny: i agree with you. She brought up so many random sh!t like, what they did together and not. But no proof of nothing whatsoever? I wanna meet her one day and smack some of her stupidness. Like dude, who tf-
CIV/Lawandjustice: movies: funny: the topic is getting out of hand, can everyone link the articles?
Also, from what I gathered… no one:
No one:
Litro no fucking one:
Sarah: we used to watch movies together. *sobs*
CIV/movies: lawandjustice: yeah man, I read that as well. Such a freak. If this was proved to be false, she is SO DONE.
