The police officer, going through the stuff, yelled out as he held up a colorless plastic bag filled with a white substance, and Michael frowned in both shock and confusion.They found what now?"That isn't mine, officer, I swear. I have no idea how it got there," Michael said, trying to explain himself, but the two men weren't having any of that."Michael Winchester, you're under arrest for the possession of hard drugs. You have the right to remain silent; anything you do or say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You will be given the rights and permission to speak to your attorney, and if you don't have one, the state will have one assigned to you."Michael stayed silent, still in deep shock, as the police officer read out before pulling out a pair of handcuffs and closing them around his wrists.The other police officer quickly shoved the plastic bag in his pocket before taking Michael by the other arm."Michael," Emily muttered in shock as she watched her boyfrien
“Am sorry Mr Winchester I understand your frustration but this can’t be done, the people will start to think I am compromised,” the man said.“You are the Chief Judge of this nation, you have the final say nobody can question what your judgements are. Believe me when I say my son is innocent, we have been friends for over 15 years you should know I am telling the truth” Mr Winchester insisted as he is determined to convince him.“Of course I know you are telling the truth, but we can’t ignore the evidence, especially the statement your son’s ex-girlfriend made on news, I believe they will have her testify in court too. The relationship she had with your son will influence her statement and makes it very considerable”He sighed, stood on his feet and said “I am sorry my friend, the only thing I can do for you is grant you a quick court hearing like your emissary suggested; the trial will be done tomorrow by 9:00 am, you should get your lawyer ready. Let me work on shortening your son’s
It’s the court hearing today and another sleepless night for Mr Winchester, he could see his son losing in court today even before the trial started.“Sir, X-IR technologies and some investors are threatening to withdraw their partnership and investments if Michael is found guilty in court today, they insist they can’t partner with a company where the future owner is a drug….” Mr Charles said as he ended the silence in the room.“How dare them call my son a drug addict, they should withdraw their investments for all I care” Mr Winchester retorted angrily. It seems he had been waiting for someone to erupt his anger on, and Charles happens to be the unlucky one as he reported the situation.“Sorry sir, but we can’t ignore their threat. They are some of our top investors and losing the partnership we just secured yesterday will portrait a bad image to our companies. Others may follow, and we might lose a lot of billion dollars from their investments” Mr Charles analysed.He knew how unwi
The courtroom immediately went silent as everyone turned around, their expressions a mixture of shock and confusion as they searched the crowd for the owner of the voice that just interrupted the ruling.Murmurs broke out within the crowd as the two girls walked up to the front of the courtroom, looking like they had to run a marathon in order to get there."Your honor," Claudia called again as she and Emily stood in front of the room."Your honor, I have concrete evidence here with me that proves Michael Winchester is completely innocent of all the accusations," Claudia said, breathing hard as she held up her phone for both the judge and the entire court to see."What is the meaning of this? Who are you two?" the judge asked with one of his eyebrows raised, not quite happy with the way the two girls had disrespected him by interrupting and disrupting his court session."My name is Emily, your honor, and this is Claudia. Come on, Claudia," Emily explained in a hurry, not bothering to
This must be one of the most iconic court hearings of all time; an evidence coming in at the last minute to turn the whole ruling around. The case will surely give the media headlines for two to three days at least.Mr Winchester is happy as never, he declared that he will cover the entire cost of public transportation of the entire city for the day, allowing people to transport free for the remaining hours of the day.Mr Winchester invited Barrister Frank, Emily and Claudia for dinner later in the evening. Claudia couldn’t stop taking pictures as she entered the Winchester mansion; she had the expression Michael himself had when he was brought into the mansion for the first time.“Oh my God this is paradise! I can’t believe Michael lives in such a place and don’t even post it,” she exclaimed as Emily couldn’t help but laugh..“A toss to our victory” Mr Winchester said as he raised his expensive wine cup. Others clashed theirs against his slowly “to our victory” they responded.While
"A black Rolls Royce, you say? Are you completely sure about this, son?" Gareth Winchester asked, watching the boy in front of him with narrowed eyes, suspicion evident in his gaze.Isaiah nodded immediately. "Absolutely, sir. I may not have gotten her name, but I had enough time to have a good look at her car," he replied confidently. The two men again shared a look of disbelief.Mr. Charles felt the wheels in his head start to turn as he thought through everything the boy had just revealed."Mr. Winchester, sir," Charles called, and Garth Winchester immediately gave him his attention. "May I please have a word with you in private?" Charles asked, and Mr. Winchester nodded as both men stepped away from the ears of everyone else."Mr. Winchester," Mr. Charles started to speak but was immediately cut off by his boss."This is impossible. I don't know what that boy is trying to do, but his claims cannot be true. He's lying," Mr. Winchester said in obvious denial, and Charles sighed, com
Miss Jolie was a gorgeous and smart woman, many people wondered why she was still single despite being in her mid- forties; what most people would refer to as middle aged.Gossips had it that she was Mr Winchester’s mistress, though she and Mr Winchester’s crew tried to dismiss the rumours it had already polluted the whole city.Michael Jumped the fence into Miss Jolie’s house, she lived in a grand mansion way too far to be owned by a secretary; by the way she was the secretary to the richest man in the country.Swiftly taking noiseless steps and hiding behind different items, he made his way to an unclosed window. “The lights are on, she must still be awake” Michael said to himself as he jumped into the building through the window.He had a cap on and also tied a handkerchief covering his nose and mouth, completely hiding his identity. He wandered the mansion till he heard some voices in the sitting room; leaning behind the door he could peep that Miss Jolie was not alone she had two
"This is completely hopeless; I give up," Gareth Winchester muttered to himself as he angrily threw the duvet away from his body, having already had enough and finally given up on getting any sleep."It seems this is the way things would have to be for me for the time being. One miserable sleepless night after another. I can never seem to catch a break," Mr. Winchester muttered under his breath again as he lazily rolled out of his bed and stood up to his feet.Mr. Winchester stretched out his body and let out a tired yawn before walking into the bathroom to get ready for breakfast."Good morning, Mr. Winchester," the maids greeted in unison as Gareth Winchester walked into the dining room. He answered with a simple nod, still in a bad mood from yesterday's discovery about his secretary Jolie.Mr. Winchester couldn't wrap his head around everything that was happening. First, it had been Mr. Frederick, and now Miss Jolie this time around. Two of his most trusted employees had just gotte
