An hour had passed and yet, her parents weren't awake yet. She sat down feeling tired already. Keith checked his watch. He had a frown on his face. He seriously didn't want to be here, but Camila had to care for his ex mother in law. He looked at her and saw how comfortable she was sitting patiently.“You two can go. You don't have to be here. Actually, seeing the two of you here is making my day go bad and it's taking a toil on me,” Sheila said but Keith and Camila ignored her, doing what they were doing. “So disrespectful,” she muttered with a scoff as Max stood next to her.“The police found the CCTV of the house. We're going to find the people that did this and make sure they are punished,” Max said as Sheila sighed. All this was making her sick. She could feel a headache forming. She looked around, finding out that Abraham wasn't around. She stood up, signaling Keith and Camila to follow her. Camila looked at Keith who shrugged as they both followed her.“I'm sure you're happy th

“I hope they've caught the person who did this. How can such a person think of doing something so wicked like this?” Mr Hockings asked?“We couldn't find the person who did this to you. The CCTV camera was broken,” Sheila said as Mr Hockings scoffed.“So outrageous,” Mr Hockings said as Sheila was lost in her thoughts. Mrs Hockings noticed it.“You seem lost Sheila dear. Do you perhaps know who did this to us?” Mrs Hockings asked as Mr Hockings looked at his daughter.“What are you hiding from us? Do you know the person who tried to kill us?” Mr Hockings asked and at the same time, Abraham entered inside.“I hope everyone is okay?” He asked as Mr Hockings scoffed angrily.“Don't act like you care. For all I know, you may just be disappointed that we made it out wealive,” he said as Abraham smiled.“If I wanted you dead, you would have already been dead,” Abraham said smiling as Mrs Hockings gasped.“Abraham!” Sheila called but he shrugged.“I really do not know what you're doing here,

Keith and Camila entered the room to see Gracie and Ian sitting opposite each other with their files in front of them. Ian stood with a firm smile.“Good to see you Mr Thompson, Miss Joffrey,” he greeted, giving both of them a handshake.“So, shall we get on with this? I have a business to attend to,” Keith said as Ian nodded.“Sure. Have a seat,” Ian said, sitting down as Keith and Camila followed suit. “So, about what we discussed, what's your take on the matter?” Ian asked as Gracie cleared her throat, folding her hands.“My client has already decided not to give his property to the government and has decided to take the matter to court,” Gracie said, looking at Keith and Camila.“Court? Are you sure about this?” He asked Keith.“Yes. I've decided to take this to court. I'm not going to give my land to the government just because they say so. No hard feeling but I just can't,” Keith said, shaking his head.“I hope you do know that if you lose the case then you'll lose a lot. What y

Standing up, Ian cleared his throat, “thank you, your Honor. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, today, we will demonstrate that the government's action in taking Mr Thompson's land is not only lawful but essential for the public good,” Ian gestures to a large presentation board displaying images of the proposed park, maps, and community plans. “This land, currently owned by Mr Thompson, is strategically located in the heart of our community. It is the ideal site for the new public park that will serve thousands of residents, providing a much-needed green space for recreation and community events,” he said, walking over to the jury, making eye contact with them. “The city has conducted extensive studies demonstrating the urgent need for this park. Our population is growing, and with that growth comes the need for more recreational areas. The park will include playgrounds, walking trails, and community gardens, all of which will improve the quality of life for our residents,” Ian said.“

“The court finds that the public interest in this case outweighs individual property rights in this instance. I wish you the best in your future endeavors, Mr Thompson,” the judge bangs her gavel, concluding the session. The courtroom begins to clear, with Asher giving Ian a handshake while Keith stands up, dashing out. He didn't even wait for Camila and Mrs Genevieve.“He's really pissed. You better go with him,” Mrs Genevieve said as Camila nods, running after Keith. “Trouble always finds a way to disrupt our lives,” Mrs Genevieve said, sighing, as her eyes met with that of Asher Garfield. She scoffs, looking away as she picks her bag and leaves the courtroom.Keith rushed outside trying to breathe in fresh air. He was suffocating as he struggled with his tie. He had lost again to Abraham Corner. Camila appeared, seeing Keith freaking out, she went to him.“Breathe Keith, breathe. Everything is going to be okay,” Camila said as Keith looked at her.“Nothing is going to be okay Camil
