"Your Honor, my client has already been sentenced…for twenty years, I really don't see any reaon we have to add to it." Marco's lawyer had been trying to convince the Judge that he didn't need any extra sentence…and Lucas's lawyer wasn't having any of it."Your Honor, the sentence given to Mr Platana was for his illegal businesses and not for his other crime. Right in front of our very eyes, he attacked an officer of the law, took forceful possession of his firearm and shot an innocent man.""That was an accident.""Maybe, but he intended to shoot and kill an innocent woman. Was that an accident as well?Might I add that the victim is currently on the verge of death. Due to the dangerously high amount of blood he lost, he has fallen into a coma and the doctor said he can't tell when and if he'll wake up.Think about the dilema his wife is in, think about the pain she must be feeling. Obviously, Mr Marco Platana didn't feel remorse for his actions, seeing as he didn't mind committing an

"Grover, my old pal. It's good to see you, it's been what…ten years?""Twelve actually.""My, you haven't aged a bit.""Neither have you Festus.""That's a lie but thank you for your flattery.""I had no idea you still remembered the mansion.""Please, this isn't exactly the kind of place a man would forget.""What do you mean?""Don't you know you're the one living the dream?""I'm afraid I still don't understand you.""You get to stay in such a huge house, and I saw your daughter when I came in so it means they get to live here with you.""Well, it's all thanks to a very generous person.""I'm guessing you found your Young master?""I did, and at the right time too.""Oh?""Yes, he was in a very difficult situation when I found him.""And he's better now?""I can't help but think that his life might be in constant danger. As nice a man as his father was, he had lots of enemies, many of which are still alive…amd I fear what they could do to him if they were to find out about his exis

"Asides from you and your friends, do you let anyone else come into your husband's room?""No, not at all.""Okay, what about when you're not around? Maybe when you run an errand or you just went out to eat?"Ivy didn't understand why the doctor was asking such questions but she was having a bad feeling. "Well…whenever I'm out, Michael usually stays with him.""Michael…a friend of Mr Williams?""Yeah.""Will he be here today?""I'm not sure, but I can call him.""Okay. Can you get him to see me when he's around?""Sure. Doctor, what is the problem? Did something happen to Lucas?""There's no easy way to say this ma'am but, I have reasons to believe that your husband was poisoned.""Poisoned?" Who would do such a horrible thing to him? Lucas barely had any friends and she doubted if he had any enemies either."I'm afraid so. That's why I need to know who comes in and out of this room.""Other than our friends, we don't get any other visitors." Not even her family came to visit."Okay,

Choices.Always difficult to make, especially if that choice meant going against the very thing you stand for. As that song says, it's not what you do, it's the way that you do it - that your intentions and thoughts are infused with love and the determination to get things right - that gets results.Decisions should come from your sense of empathy and creative perspective taking, combined with logic and grounded in reality. For when we make choices this way, they are better choices, ones that belong in the normal world we kige in.He wished it was that easy for him.He was given an opportunity to become his dream self, he would have a house-his own house- and he would have a company of his own. Who would turn down such an offer?He had given it many thoughts and there only seemed to be two results. Do what was best for he and his family, or what was best for Lucas…and he usually ended up in the same answer. "Sometimes it was good to be selfish."After deliberating it for almost a week

"So, Chuck said you told him to tell me that Mike was acting strange. Could you explain more on that?""Yes well, first he stopped spending time at the hospital. Before, Mike and Avery could be with me all day, and they always visited daily.Avery would come in the morning to take Desmond-my son-and bring him back in the afternoon…it was our daily routine. But now, she doesn't even show up at all.""At all.""Yeah. And Mike's visitation was cut down to half, he only shows up like twice a week or so and whenever he did, he never spent more than five minutes.""Hmm…is that so?""Yeah.""Okay, I'll keep an eye on him as well.""Okay, thanks.""You're welcome. Have you noticed any…strange visitors lately?""Hmm…no, not that I can think of.""Okay, just be at alert.""Okay."★★★"Hello Mrs Williams." Kelly called out, startling Ivy a bit."Oh hey Kelly.""Coffee?""Thanks." She accepted the warm liquid from her.Kelly, Ivy's new and sudden best friend. The only constant guest she always ha
