The defense lawyer cleared his throat, his demeanor composed. "Your honor, even though flights were canceled, my client here went straight back home."The judge raised an eyebrow. "Any evidence?"The lawyer adjusted his glasses and began, "According to section 12(b) of the Revised Code of Conduct, in situations where extenuating circumstances prevent the acquisition of physical evidence, testimonial accounts may suffice."The judge's patience wore thin. He pounded his gavel, the sound echoing through the courtroom. "Are you trying to teach me the law when I need evidence?" His voice reverberated with frustration. "Since there are no evidence to support your claim, then the accused is found guilty."He continued, his tone stern and resolute. "This act is punishable against the law. Therefore, I sentence the accused to 30 years of imprisonment with hard labour." What? Halland's heart thumped faster, disbe
Dera cleared her throat and said, "I feel a profound sense of satisfaction knowing that justice has been upheld today. The verdict affirms that no one is above the law, regardless of their status or influence.""I believe justice was unequivocally served. The evidence presented was compelling, and the court's decision reflects a rigorous pursuit of truth and fairness.""As for ensuring Halland serves his full sentence, it's now in the hands of the judicial system. The law will monitor and enforce the sentence to ensure that justice prevails."Then, one journalist asked, "What if the Minister tries to use his influence to give his son special treatment?"Dera stood tall, her voice steady, "The law is blind to power and influence. It applies equally to all. If the Minister attempts to manipulate the justice system, he will face severe legal consequences. I will ensure that justice prevails, no matter the obstacles."
Meanwhile, Sophia had finished dressing up, about to leave for work when her phone rang.Checking, it was a call from her younger sister, Elora.She clicked on it and said, "Hello my dear, how are you?"Elora's voice came through, saying, "Big sister, good morning. How are you and brother-in-law?"Sophia smiled and said, "We are fine, what about mom and dad?""They are fine too," Elora replied."Okay, now tell me why do you call."Elora cleared her throat and said, "Big sis, I just called to wish you a happy birthday in advance since tomorrow is your birthday.""My birthday?" Sophia was a bit stunned."Indeed tomorrow is my birthday but being occupied with so much work I even forgot," she admitted.Elora chuckled and said, "You're a busy business worker so it's not easy, I understand. But Happy birthday in advance sis, may God bless you for being the best big sister in the world and being the best supporter too."Sophia smiled warmly, "Thank you, Elora. I hope you keep on being a good
Sophia couldn't contain her awe. "Trust me, this place is really amazing. I can't even imagine what it's like inside."Ethan chuckled. "Haha. Let's go inside, you'll see for yourself."He turned to the gate guard. "Bring in your madam's luggage," he instructed.The guard nodded, swiftly retrieving Sophia's bags from the car's trunk.Sophia paused, then turned to Ethan with a curious smile. "Hubby, is this yours?"Ethan beamed, confirming, "Yes, I bought it."Her eyes sparkled with delight. "This is what I love. You're absolutely living a lavish life now."Ethan gently pinched her cheeks. "Your good luck will always follow me."They both walked in. Wow. Sophia was amazed stepping inside. Her eyes widened in amazement. "Ethan, this is... it's incredible! I never imagined it would be this beautiful."Ethan grinned, clearly pleased by her reaction. "I'm glad you like it, my dear. Wait until you see the rest."As they walked through the grand halls, Sophia's gaze fell upon a framed photogr
Ethan hearing her say no laughed. He pulled out and smiled. "I'm done hun, you can dress up now." He said"You." Sophia frowned, holding his hand. "I'll kill you if you try to move from here. You started this and now want to hang me when I'm in for it?"Ethan winked playfully. "I thought you said I wasn't needed here." He said in a low tone. "That was a minute ago not now, your service is greatly needed please." She repliedEthan couldn't hold his laughter. He then walked forward again before spreading her legs wide open again. He started brushing his d!ck around Sophia's p**sy putting her in the mood. Sophia's eyes were forcefully shut followed by soft moans. It was only a time of minutes before Ethan slid slowly into Sophia again. He started going to and from, slowly before going faster. He sealed Sophia's moans with a deep kiss as they enjoyed the pleasure. Half an hour later Ethan pulled out. He then kissed Sophia's cheeks and walked away wearing his shorts. Sophia also got d
In response, Lily couldn't resist a derisive chuckle. "Your honey? Don't tell me it's that guy I used and dumped."Sophia's expression turned steely. "Thank you, it's him—my dear Ethan. Now please excuse yourself."Lily's laughter rang out, filled with a mocking edge. "Dear businesswoman, so you actually dated that useless guy, and now he has turned you into a housemaid, roaming up and down in the market, right?"Sophia's patience was wearing thin, and she sighed, her eyes reflecting frustration. "Look, say what you want. I don't care. I'm not as idle as you." With that, she tried to move around Lily, but the persistent woman quickly stepped forward, blocking her path once more. "You should apologize for causing this mess! You clashed with me." Lily saidSophia's temper flared, her patience wearing thin. "Apologize? It's your reckless behavior that caused this!"Lily shot back, her tone sharp and accusatory. "You think you can just waltz around here and talk to me like that? You're th
"Your baby?" Seraphina frowned, but then her mind quickly switched to the point, understanding what Sophia said. "Damn, you are pregnant," she said.Sophia nodded, desperation in her eyes. "Please help me, I don't want to lose my child. I'll pay you whatever you want."Seraphina reassured her, "Don't worry, lady. I'll help you. I'm a police officer, so don't worry." She tried to help Sophia up, but Sophia's weight proved too much for her because Sophia was the thick lady type. With a sigh, Seraphina scanned the surroundings for assistance. Sophia's tears flowed relentlessly, and she was losing blood rapidly. "You must help me," Sophia implored, "I have a car, the key is in my bag."Seraphina retrieved the car key swiftly. She enlisted someone nearby to assist, and together they gently lifted Sophia into her car. They carefully placed the bags of groceries inside before driving away.Meanwhile, at the villa, Ethan was engrossed in his work on the laptop. After a while, he glanced at
After getting his car keys, Ethan returned to the hall, only to find five missed calls from Sophia. A mixture of relief and concern washed over him. He wasted no time and immediately called back.Ethan's heart raced as the phone was picked up. For a moment, he thought he'd hear Sophia's voice, but it was different. Seraphina spoke, "Hello?"Ethan's voice was sharp with concern, "Sophia, where are you? Why did you call so many times?""It's not Sophia," Seraphina's voice was urgent, "She's in the hospital."Panic coursed through Ethan. "Hospital? What happened? Tell me everything," he urged, fear creeping into his voice.Seraphina proceeded to narrate the harrowing events, detailing how someone had attacked Sophia, leading to her current critical condition with excessive bleeding. Ethan's shock and worry deepened with each word."Who's the person that did this to her? Tell me," Ethan demanded, his voice seething with anger."Calm down, sir. I don't know the person, but trust me, I'm a
