“Mr. Richester, are you prepared?” The prosecutor asked him, as he took his seat. They have transferred Richester back to the interrogation room.“You have a few hours left, do you have any confession to make?” He urged and Richester smirked.“Is there any difference?” He scoffed, he didn’t know the game they were playing but he knew he was defeated in his own game.“I will stick to my own truth till the end because I know you have already been paid by them.” He said seriously, with his voice filled with disdain and the prosecutor burst into laughter, already feeling guilty.“I know how demoralized you are, I mean gathering evidence and all of it. I will leave you to it.” The prosecutor scorned him as he stood up. “See you in court soon.” He left.Richester lowered his head without a word. Everything was happening so fast that he couldn’t even get a hold of it, both the system and humans were all over him.Till recently, Stella hasn't gotten over the huge shock of her mother’s new est
Madam Harriet smiled happily at the content in her phone before lifting her gaze from the phone with a sharp exhale.“This is favorable.” She said as she narrowed her gaze to the man sitting across from her.Leonard sighed. “I should congratulate you.” He commented and she shook her head.“No. I must thank you for your understanding.” She said calmly and he agreed.“That’s the right thing to do, an ant can never grow into an elephant immediately.” Leonard scratched his head a bit. “So, how much will the bail be?” He questioned after a brief pause.“You don’t need to care about that, sir.” She crossed her leg across the other. “Just focus on your new position as the Chief doctor.” She wiggled a brow which he clearly understood.“Sure thing. I will leave you.” He stood up and approached the door but paused. “I hope I don’t get mixed up in the whole thing though, please keep things straight.” He sounded a bit serious but tried not to make it obvious then he left the office entirely.“Ano
“I heard he is the new inmate, what do you think?” One of the inmates whispered to the jail lord, Amos, he was mostly feared and it was like all the inmates were under him since they were afraid of dying mysteriously.He was tough skinned, muscular and had gangster nature, from one look it was clear that he was a one time hot shot criminal who had no respect for law.“Another weakling.” He groaned, rubbing his rough beard.Richester walked from one post to another as the cooks gave them some portions of food. The cafeteria was filled with inmates who were eating, making noise and causing trouble.He wanted to remain low-key and he took note of every step that he took, he didn’t know when he stumbled on someone’s leg and tripped. His face plastered on his meal, he groaned in pain and the entire hall roared in annoying laughter. It was beside the jail lord’s eating table, though he hadn’t taken notes of anything yet.“Why did you set your leg for me!” He questioned in anger as soon as h
“That’s why we told you to be friendly with us, we would have informed you everything you need to know in here.” Adam hissed as he passed the ice bag to him, that was the only thing the officers could offer him.Richester was bruised and his other eyes were swollen. His lips were also swollen and had a slight cut, he breathed heavily as he leaned on the block and applied the ice over everywhere that ached. It wasn’t easy.“I can cope on my own.” He said, closing his eyes for a while.“You should ask for help when it's necessary. It’s not easy to rely on oneself here.” Jones said as though he wasn’t interested in speaking with him.“And now that you have offended the jail lord, he won’t let you live here in peace.” Jones shook his head.“Jail lord?” Richester scoffed. “Does such a thing exist in prison? What are the officials doing?” Richester asked them seriously with a raised brow, they laughed shortly.“You mean the officials that are under them or which?” Lucky grunted and Richeste
“Emergency! Emergency! Every available doctor and surgeon should come to the ER.” A voice announced through the speaker in the entire hospital as doctors started rushing out to the ER. Stella crossed paths with Lorenzo and was quite amazed that he was in her mother’s hospital. “What are you doing here?” She couldn’t help it, staring at him seriously. “What does it look like?” He sounded unbothered and rude. “The last time I checked, you refused to work with other top hospitals, why did you choose us?” Stella questioned anxiously. “That’s none of your business and you should leave it that way.” He said curtly as they got closer to the ER. Some nurses and doctors were already tending to minor issues on ground. Stella shoved Lorenzo to a corner and approached her first patient. “How is he?” Stella and Lorenzo asked the nurse almost at the same time, when they realized this, they stared at themselves in annoyance before facing the nurse. “His vital signs are currently stable.” The
“Amanda!” His eyes wide open in amazement as hot adrenaline rushed up his spine. The chair clanked as he sat across from her while she covered her mouth in disbelief.He thought she would vanish after his current predicament, she was part of those people who he thought would leave his life immediately he fell but she was still with him and didn’t look disheartened. Inwardly, he was impressed and excited that at least someone still had him in mind.Richester’s face was almost becoming worse that she couldn’t recognize him at first glance. She leaned on the desk, impatiently with her eyes all over him.“What the hell happened to you?” She questioned sadly as she cupped his face in her hands.“It’s nothing- - -” He slightly pulled his head away from her hands. “What are you doing here?” He questioned slyly as his eyes tossed.“What does it look like? I’m here to visit you, of course.” Amanda informed him nervously as she started rummaging her handbag.“It’s not necessary, Amanda. You hav
His hands were wrapped with white cloth because of his broken knuckle. He was slowly getting better and his face had healed. The prisoners were in the big field protected by prison wires, doing sports, enjoying fresh air in silence and engaging in anything they wanted. Richester walked into the field with his cellmates that didn’t want to leave his side no matter how he tried to rattle out of them. “Can you stop following me now?” He stopped walking and faced them, Jones pretended to be looking somewhere else. “I don’t know about them but I like and I respect you.” Adam said and he smirked. “Like me? I’m not a woman, c’mon!” He playfully hit Adam’s shoulder and all of them nodded. “He is right.” Lucky began and they focused on him. “We want to serve you, boss.” Lucky said seriously, staring at Richester intently. Richester was taken aback by their determinism that he had to laugh but seeing that their expression remained inexpressive, he scoffed. “I’m not the jail lord here or so
Suddenly, everyone gave him a standing ovation as soon as he stepped into the cafeteria for lunch. He was surprised and confused, even the chefs had to give him more portions of his meal unlike in the past.He didn’t know what was going on, he kept on staring at his cellmate until they took their seats. Shortly after, a group approached him nervously - scratching their beards and heads. They were feeling shy and ashamed to turn over to the same person that they had mocked earlier. Everyone was still in disbelief as to who he was, because no one has ever confronted or won the jail lord in a fight for all these years. To them, he had made history.“What’s going on?” Richester picked his meal as he rolled his eyes round them.“Boss, is there anything you want us to do for you?” The group of prisoners asked him courteously and he scoffed.“Seriously? Are you for real?” He looked at them and scanned the entire cafeteria until his eyes locked with Amos.Amos was fuming in anger, aside from
