Lisa, had not contacted any attorney for the case, since she did not have the financial resources to get one. That morning, she just sat in her living room, thinking about her life.“Now, what do I do? I have no money to hire a legal counsel to help me out with this case”. She thought to herself.Her phone rang. She took a look at the screen and it was Pedro calling her. “Why is this bastard calling? I’m sure he wants to make mockery of me. If not that, why else will he be calling me?” She said to herself.“Yes? What do you want from me now?”She said to Pedro, after she had picked up the phone.“Easy now. Just calling in to let you know, the court session is about to start”. Pedro replied her.“And you think I do not know that?” She asked him.“Well, you might have fooled me there. It’s five minutes to 10AM and you are not even here yet. How would one believe that, you have not forgotten about the hearing for today?” Replied Pedro. “Well, I know it is today. Quit being a jerk

But do tell me, please”.She replied Alex. “These are records from our sub-company, which Don Michaelson was head of operations. You wouldn’t believe the things that are in here”. He said to Roseline. “We have seen the ledgers, inventories and other records showing the illegal activities of Don Michaelson, in that company. I managed to get them myself, which we made copies and handed over to the police, to aid their investigations. I am sure this should be one of such records, you have there”. Rosel
“Hello detective, calling in to check up on you.

“Hello Morata, it has been a while”.Josephine said to him, after Morata picked up the phone call. It was the man who they hoped to get money from.“Hey Josephine, I should say that you. You stopped calling me, texting me and never came over to my house. Thought you got married or something”.Morata said to her. “Hah! Me? Married? Don’t flatter me Morata. At this age you think I am looking to get married? No way”.She said to him, while she giggled.“Hehehe. Forgive me. I thought you forgot about all the fun we use to have.

What seems to be the problem?”Morata asked her.“To start with, one of my nieces is in a coma and her younger sister, Lisa, is going through a very rough time. For me, I am broke and have nothing. We have not been able to clear out the hospital bills of my niece, and it keeps accumulating. The hospital says, we have to make

So, we meet there and head to Morata’s place together”.Lisa called her auntie, Josephine, and asked.She was all dressed up, looking stunning, ready to go and dazzle Morata. The intent from the beginning, was to look ravishing and so she did. Anyone who had seen Lisa, at that time, will automatically fall for her elegance and beauty without even looking back at all.“We are almost late already, my darling. It’s best we just meet at Morata’s place. Once I get off the phone with you, I will send you the address and directions through a text message”. Josephine replied Lisa. It was almost time and they were both set for the mission of the evening. Josephine got off the phone and texted Lisa, directions to Morata’s place, as she said. Shortly, Lisa’s phone buzzed.“Oh, that must be the address and directions to Morata’s place”. She said to herself. She checked her phone and it was the message from Josephine. She qui
Back at The Del Monte’s estate, Pedro’s lawyers, Barrister Hernandez and Andre Ramos, both came to see him. He was sitting outside his mansion, enjoying the evening breeze. “Good evening Sir”.Hernandez greeted him.“A very good evening to you both. To what do I owe this visit? It’s almost 7PM, already”. Pedro said to them, after acknowledging and reciprocating their greetings. “We tried calling you an hour ago, sir, but it was not going through. We suspect bad network reception. After we closed from the chambers, we thought we come see you, before heading home”. Hernandez replied Pedro.“Okay? Out with it then. What brings you here this evening?” Pedro asked. “We have the upper hand now, Sir. Your ex-wife, Lisa, did not show up in court, at the first hearing. I reckon she will probably not show up again”.
