Whilst they kissed each other and cried in each other's arms, Magnus and Maxwell celebrated on an all night cruise at the beach Hannah.She was edgy and unhappy that she was forced to be. She would have preferred to be locked away in her bedroom, waiting for the dawn of day as the sentence would be passed against Marcus.Her mind was bugged with the fact that she had no idea if Marcus was able to come up with a witness or not. The news outlets were not being helpful.They made the situation seem as though Marcus was truly hopeless as no information was being given by his team and his legal person.Hannah sat on the beach chair, gazing at Maxwell and Magnus as they joked wildly about the current situation and laughed so loudly.She could see the joy on their faces as they talked about Marcus' possible life imprisonment and fear gripped her heart as she wondered what the next day would bring.Daylight streamed in through the windows and Marcus got down from his bed. He knew that in a sh

“What is this madness, Attorney Luciana?” The Judge asked with a sneer on his face.“I am so sorry,” Luciana replied loudly, her gaze locked with Magnus' horrid gaze as she, Camelia and Linda SheIn and her children passed through the aisle.Camelia slipped into a seat and waved at Marcus, her face beaming with smiles. She was so happy at the feat that she and Luciana were able to achieve.“I would like to apologise to my Lord and to this honourable court for the delay,” Luciana declared, taking the stand. “We had to go and bring the Witness as well as the evidence needed to not only clear Mr. Marcus Blackwood but also to pin down the man who masterminded the murder of Matthew SheIn.”Magnus and Maxwell turned to each other with panic in their eyes.“Is this turning against you?” Maxwell asked Magnus and Magnus clenched his fists. “Thomas betrayed me. That is what this means. I have to leave immediately. Call my lawyer and prepare jets for me. I have got to leave immediately,” he said

The days that followed were filled with celebrations for the Blackwoods and shame for Marcus and his supporters. Marcus was especially happy that he got cleared and he could get back to work.He was grateful to uncle Richard for offering to give up his shares in the company just for his sake but he was not going to let that happen.“We already made a promise to Diego and we cannot afford to go back on that promise,” Luciana warned when he mentioned that he would not allow Richard's shares to be taken away.Marcus smiled. “I have a better plan, Luciana,” Marcus mentioned with a prideful smile. “You will definitely love it.”“Hmm, can I hear it then?” She asked, sitting still and waiting to hear what this plan was.“The Blackwood's conglomerate is a publicly traded company. I am allowed to have a boundless number of shareholders. Hence, I wish to give Linda and her family shares in my company. What do you think?”Luciana sat, thoughtfully going through what he had just said. “Are there

A FLASHBACK Alex strottered into his home, feeling downcast. His father had sent him a very demeaning message and it hurt him terribly that he was seen as a betrayal.by his own father. His father, Harold, was still up and reading papers in the living room when he walked in. He honestly wanted to walk in ast him without saying a word to him but he suddenly felt an urge to show some respect to the man who gave him life. “Hey Dad,” he called out and was about to pass through. “Forty years…,” Harold began and Alex gradually halted to hear what his father had to say. “Forty years was what it took me to finally build something I was gonna be proud of. Most of my mates had found their footings as early as their thirties but I did not find mine till I was in my sixties.” “What has that got to do with anything, Dad?” Alex interrupted, nonchalantly folding his arms on his chest. “You sound silly to really ask me that. For what it's worth, I started this company with my blood and I wi

“He is thinking of Marco or Marcus taking over from him,” she squeaked, walking out of his presence.Alex rushed to her and gripped her shoulders, shaking her vigorously.“What in the Lord's name is wrong with you, Juliana?” He raged at her. She too was becoming increasingly infuriated and she yelled back at him.“Stop it! You are hurting me, Alex. What is wrong with you too? My father in-law has asked me for a favour, am I expected to reject that request?” She blurted at him and Alex could not hold himself, he slapped her across her face.“You betrayed me!” He yelled. “This was why you married me in the first place. You always wanted this, right?” He was fuming.Juliana held her face and stared at him with disbelief etched on her face. She could not believe that he would strike her like that because of a case that could be easily handled.“You just laid your hands on me, Alex!” She yelled, dragging him by the collar of his shirt.“You have become a wild woman and I promise you I will
