Leonard stood before the jury, they were about to judge him and ask why he was fighting. The other man had been asked but he said that it wasn't intentional and also that he was just trying to make sure that everything was going all well and good. One of the men stared at Leonard who didn't look remorseful. " May we know what exactly led to the fight?" He rephrased the question.Leonard looked up at them. After making sure that they tore his back and almost made him lose his shit in front of everyone, they were still acting like they cared to know.His eyes darted toward his in-law who was supposed to help him out, also watching and sipping from his cup. "I was provoked, I shouldn't have retaliated but I did and I have been punished for it." He stated in a final tone making everyone know that he wasn't in the mood for unnecessary conversations."I don't know what to say seeing that you have always not been concerned with us and suddenly you decide not to allow us to rest in the priso
Silas raced towards a collapsed Estelle. His heart was palpitating from fear. She was going to lose herself and her life if care was not taken. He didn't know what made him rush after her when he saw her walking away. He had wanted to stop her from leaving but he was thankful that he did that at the last minute.The door swung open and the doctor walked in. Estelle has been admitted since the previous day but was not still waking up after all these while. He was beginning to get worried. "Why isn't she waking up?" He demanded and the doctor smiled. There was nothing really wrong with her. "She's just undergoing stress that's why her body shut down. You have nothing to fear. I promise you, everything is fine." He replied and Silas nodded but he wasn't still at rest. He was thinking about the next available thing to do which was finally get someone to remove the chip. Unfortunately, everyone that he had called the previous week had either been busy with one thing or the other or they
Leonard looked around and noticed that there wasn't anyone around at the time. It was only him and the prison boss that occupied his cell before but right now, something was wrong somewhere. The amount of people who were afraid of him now made him very afraid because he really didn't want a situation of people having to disturb him when there was probably nothing to do with his life. He would rather they stay away than have to keep on fighting and trying to protect himself His anger had known no bounds recently and he was beginning to fear that he was really turning into a monster that would not be good at all. That would mean that he was not operating normally. The gate opened and he heard the footsteps of the warder. Hr wanted to ask for some breathing space because he was starting to feel suffocated from all the stress. If he could, he would pick out of this prison cell any day, anytime. It was either it was done or not. "Humphrey, come out.""Taiwan, come out!" He called again
There was bad news that a car had an accident and it was none other than Sophie's. Reporters had surrounded the scene and began to circulate the news.Emma jolted from her bed when she heard those words, it took her by surprise. " Jesus Christ!" She exclaimed, making Ava also jolt from sleep wondering what happened. She squinted at the TV and stared at her for a while, there was nothing showing except red blood and the name Sophie.Her brain pieced the puzzle together. " I don't know but I think that there was an accident on the Mont road and your mother was involved in an accident. It's very shocking, seeing that there might be a change in plans and she might need her relatives to come identify her body." Emma spoke aloud before covering Ava's eyes. "I can still hear you mom." Ava replied and she sighed before removing her hands from the girl's ears. "Do they mean that my mom is dead?" She replied sniffing a bit and she began to feel guilty about it. "I'm sorry, we don't know yet
It was time to leave and maybe go to Monaco for some time till the heat goes away. He would bribe all the officials to allow him to pass through. He was even very sure that they were probably just going to act tough for show, no one was really tough amongst them instead, he would rather that they stayed with him or even made them his guards. He had barrels of raw cash sitting in the basement which he could splurge on themAs he was leaving he received a call. "Hello?" "I don't know what you're up to but when I say it's over, let it actually be over. Why are you making a mess of yourself when you can show them who's boss? I don't expect that you'd be caught up in this trap after all these years and technology. Even when I operated, no one could trace it to me. I don't know why you don't have my genius genes. I can't be associated with failure. It's just entirely not possible because I would be so sick to my bones."I am ashamed to call you my son. I know that it's hard and all of tha
Antonio was pissed when he dropped the receiver. This was a stupid move and he was telling that guy not to waste time. Now they have escaped! That was not what he wanted. "Why did you allow them to leave?" He muttered.There was a soft knock on his door and he almost bit the person. "What the hell are you disturbing me for?" Rufus rolled his eyes at the mad man's response. Doesn't Antonio know that he was a businessman? There was nothing that would stop him from always receiving calls. "Sorry about that sir. But you have a call from Arsen. He says that he has been trying to reach you all these while but your number hasn't been going through sir" He felt like barking and chewing this man off. It wasn't what he was expecting though but it was still better than not having anything to do. He was furious at anyone who called. He didn't want to say yes sir to anyone because they were board members.He didn't agree to their suggestions. "Is there a reason you're not emotionally intelligen
Leonard sighed as he was transferred out of his cell. He has been feeling a little numb in the past few days. He had been thinking about loads of things and he was feeling a little bored and jaded. He however received the news of Silas calling a meeting that even he would have to attend. Currently, two prison guards stood beside him as he walked down the hall in a nonchalant manner. He just wanted to capture the feeling of freedom again. Being caged and restricted was a really trauma inducing state which one can be in. He followed the guards through the hall and at last the door opened into a room. He stepped inside and he laid his eyes on Silas who was giving him a rather warm smile, he glanced sideways and Estelle was also giving him a warm expression. He grinned happily. For the first time in a while he was indeed genuinely happy to see his people. He now caressed every moment they came to him, etching it into his memories and enjoying those moments more than he really should be
“Estelle, I wouldn't want you to get upset at any of this.” Leonard says placing a firm hand on his sister's shoulder knowing how she could be at times.“But we need to find a way of nabbing Antonio instead.” Leonard concluded and Estelle looked deeply at him with eyes filled with query, “We need him down no matter what and that should be our top priority.”“And how do you suppose we even do that Leo?” She asks with her eyebrows arched towards her brother puzzled.“That's simple my dear Estelle…” He started in a keen voice as he waved his hands in the air demonstrating his elaborate plan to her, “All we need to do is invite Daisy over for questioning. That way, it'll save us up a lot more time and stress, just like killing two birds with one stone.” Estelle sighed as she analyzed his plan in her mind, and she had to admit it wasn't the worst one she'd heard. Questioning Daisy seemed like a steady way to go. “Well, I can't say that wouldn't be the best option for us right now in such
