Vengeful Girlfriend: Chapter Four:
'Surprise Visitor/A Change Is Coming'
A few weeks later, the trial began. The Jury, despite family and neighbour's testimony backing his character and a lack of previous convictions, were biased and took Ken's race against him, had found him guilty, although with the forensic evidence that Lauren had created no jury could find him innocent.
Ken was given 40 years for 'Rape With Violence'.
Ken was given 40 years for 'Rape With Violence'.
He was sent to jail, in total disbelief.
Meanwhile, almost as soon as the verdict had been passed (within weeks), Lauren had packed up and moved to Santa Rosa and changed her name.

Ken had been in prison and had been subjected to abuse and despite being quite a powerful guy, had felt emasculated and threatened.
The poor man was in disbelief and despair at how he came to be in such a position.
What he didn't know was that help would soon appear, from the most unexpected source.
Jack the businessman, who, thanks to Lauren's scheming, had lost his business and relocated to Denver, , was on a business trip to Santa Rosa and by pure chance, he had happened to pass Lauren on a sidewalk. He was stunned to see her.
Could that be the woman that had ruined his life, forced him to move and cause a rift with his family? which was now healing, after almost two years.
He had instinctively turned and followed her, wondering how he could find out it was her, without breaching his court order.

He had seen her enter a guarded, gated community. That was it!
He had decided he must find out!
He was desperate to find out if it was her.
After she had passed through the gate, he went up to the guard.

After she had passed through the gate, he went up to the guard.
'Excuse me I think I know the lady that just drove through here. Is her name Lauren Taylor? Works for Chemi-Labs?'
The guard answered matter of factly answered.
'No Sir, that's Miss Courtney Harrison'.
'Oh, right...thanks. Sorry to have troubled you. Have a nice day'.
He was certain it was her.
Once he got back to where he was staying, he sat down at the desk and had opened his laptop.
He had started to Google for any information on 'Lauren Taylor' or 'Courtney Harrison'. He collected all the usual information you could find from Facebook posts and Twitter but then he found a link mentioning Lauren's name in relation to the rape trial.
Jack was shocked as he read on, in disbelief. He did not believe a word and thought it was another one of her schemes, like the one which destroyed him.
He had not heard anything about this court case until now, having moved away to Denver and trying to start a fresh life.
Then he read that Ken had been charged. He had known Ken from when he worked at the car wash in Sacramento. Although he didn't know him well he had met him during his own case with Lauren. He could not and would not believe that he had raped Lauren.
Now Jack was determined to make Lauren pay. He would get justice. Not for him, but for Ken. His own run-in with Lauren was nothing compared to what that poor young man was going through.
Jack had decided to go and visit Ken and give him a chance for revenge, one which would change Lauren's life forever.

Jack had got permission to see Ken.
Ken was relieved he had a visitor but was surprised to see it was Jack.
He recognized him from the car wash and when the police had shown Lauren a picture of him.
Jack said: 'Hi. I bet your surprised to see me?'
Ken: 'Yeah, it's nice to see a face I know, but wha'ya doing here?'
Jack: 'I didn't know what had happened. I'm guessing this is all Lauren's handiwork?'
Ken was mildly insulted by the suggestion that it may not have been Lauren's fault and that he had actually committed the offense.
Ken, annoyed: 'Of course it's her fault!' You know all about that'.
Jack: 'Yeah, don't remind me. But mine was nothing to what's happened to you. Mine was nowhere as bad as this. Anyway, how long are you in here for?
Ken, when hearing this question, started to break down.
'40 years, Man, 40 years! I'm gonna be fuckin' 60 when I get out! I'll be older than you are now!. What did I do that deserves this? I only wanted to leave'.
He was almost in tears.
Jack, who was a very moral guy was almost in pieces himself at seeing the sadness in Ken's almond eyes, which used to be so stunning but now the light in them had died, a little bit like Ken's soul.
Jack tried to brighten the mood slightly and get Ken's hopes up.
'I've met Lauren again, by accident. Well I saw her but she didn't see me'.
Ken was surprised.
'I was staying away for work, in Santa Rosa'. Jack continued.
'Santa Rosa?. What's she doing there?' Ken was surprised.
Jack: 'Living. It seems. She moved there pretty much straight after the trial. Sold up and moved. She's now known as Courtney Harrison. She created a whole new identity for herself. Not a care in the world'
'How could she do this to me?!!' Ken said, apoplectic with rage.
This caused the guard to come over and tell him to calm down or he would be taken back to his cell.
Ken settled down and sat back down.
Jack said: 'She can away with anything. But not anymore'
'What do you mean?' Ken, puzzled.
Jack informed him:
'I am gonna make sure she gets the punishment she deserves. She likes to control men and their lives and with what I've got in mind, she'll be able to control a man's life, all she likes. But without hurting anyone but herself'.
Jack said, with determination and conviction and with a look of bitterness in his eyes.
'I may never get rid of the stigma she has attached to you and I, but it should give you your freedom. In some way'.
'FREEDOM, how can I have FREEDOM?! I going to be here for 40 years. I'll be retirement age by the time I get out' Ken raged.
'You might not be yourself at the end but you'll be free and Lauren will be getting the punishment she deserves' Jack said.
'Sign me up' Ken joked. 'When do we start?'.
'You'll know when it comes', Jack said with a glint in his eye.
What Jack failed to reveal to mention to Ken was that he had managed to acquire a special potion from White Witch.
Jack would bless some of the garments his underwear company makes with this special potion and then his vendetta with Lauren, and getting Ken's freedom, would prevail.
