Magnus and Maxwell both arrived at the courthouse, flaunting themselves with so much pride and arrogance. Their faces were elated and they seemed satisfied by the fact that Marcus was about to get grilled for a crime they both knew that Marcus did not commit.The other people seated at the courtroom were a few TV reporters with their cameras, some friends and family members of the late Matthew Shein’s family, Camelia and Jessica and Camelias mother who insisted that she would appear at the courtroom for Marcus's sake and then Hannah.Hannah was still absorbed with the jealousy she gained from staring at Marcus and Camelia sharing a hug. So, she sat at the back of the courthouse, hoping she would be seen by Marcus and he would appreciate the fact that she came out to stand by him.Richard and Sam arrived a little bit later than 9:30 because they had another role that they were playing. Richard was helping with the events at the company while Sam was privately investigating the entire s

“Mr Magnus, can you proceed with your honest statement to this court about what you know regarding this entire case?” Barrack asked, standing gallantly before the court with his pride shoulders lifted even higher. He smirked, he was going to enjoy this, victory was already his to claim.“I and Mr Marcus have been going back and forth over the Madison school project building,” Magnus stated, handing over the documents to Mr Barrack.“These documents are the deed of assignment as given to me by the late Mr. Matthew SheIn, as a statesman. He sold that building to me, about two years ago. Now, after Marcus returned, Matthew mentioned that Marcus threatened to kill him if he did not get the land back.”Everyone gasped again. Hannah was feeling uncomfortable about the whole situation, that's not true, Marcus isn't capable of killing.Luciana shook her head. She knew this was an ambiguous lie and she understood the game that Magnus was trying to play.“Upon purchase of that land, did you kno

The Judge cast his long, doleful gaze at Magnus and finally asked for him to stand and go back to his seat.Then, Marcus was called forward.As he approached the bench, Camelia and Jessica both called out his name.“Marcus!” And everyone turned to them. The two did not care. “We love you! You have got us! We believe you are innocent!”Their words were beautiful but it was a chaotic mess for a court proceeding.Tears gathered in Marcus's eyes. He was not usually an emotional person but the show of love and commitment from Camelia and Jessica got him feeling teary.The rest of the spectators who believed he was guilty began to murmur angrily.“What are these two ladies doing?” One elderly woman who sat as a member of the SheIn family asked. “They seem like paid actresses,” another replied, rolling her eyes mockingly at Camelia and Jessica.“They most definitely were paid by him to act so stupidly and make him look innocent,” another added, cursing them afterwards.“Matthew Shein must g

Everyone began to rumble and rumble on, arguments arising from the observers as they all pondered on his reason.Magnus and Maxwell exchanged mischievous glances followed by satisfying laughter. “He is a superstar indeed!” Magnus cheered, gripping Maxwell tightly. The two men were so ecstatic about their victory and they could not wait to eventually claim it.Even Luciana was taken aback by this response as she left her lips agape, trying to regain composure.Whoever this man is, he is a professionalLuciana thought to herself, taking in his response and trying to regain her argument.“Where was this diagnosed?” She asked him, this time putting aside any desire to maintain decorum.“Back home in Louisiana, a private clinic.”“Can a report be provided to this effect?” Luciana asked again.Obed nodded.Luciana took a deep breath, moving away from that argument.“Mr Obed, since you and Mr Marcus were familiar with each other. What then was it so pertinent for you to take pictures of you

“Get into the damn car you idiot!” the man with the gun pointing to him yelled, dragging him to the car door.Obed was shaking with fright. He could not understand what was going on and he tried to play his mind to get it straightened but no thought was coming to his mind.“I am so sorry…” he whispered, his voice escaping into a gentle moan. The hit the edge of the gun against his back and he screamed out in pain and quickly did as he was forced to.He allowed them to shove him into the car, and the one with the gun slammed the door.“Give us directions to your home now!” The other man sitting to his left ordered. Obed's mind was slightly hazy as he struggled to gather his thoughts to be able to give a response to the needs of this chaotic men. “Start speaking fast. We do not have much time!” The one that shoved him into the car groaned and Obed nodded hastily and started pointing towards his house.His mind quickly recollected and he was able to remember all he had forgotten.The
