The Billionaire's Retribution Judgment II
The Judge was exhausted and so were the spectators. It has been a long five hour session consisting of jabs, heated arguments, emotional rollercoaster and courtroom explosion.Yet, the case was not close to being resolved.Luciana's greatest goal for that day was not to clear Marcus's name for she knew that it would not be easy to do that. Instead, her greatest goal was to make sure that she left the case open ended such that the Judge will see the need for more evidence and give them some time to acquire that.She knew that there were a lot of things about the case that needed to be addressed, especially the false evidence that we presented to the court against Marcus.“Miss Luciana, I think it is time for you to cross examine Mr Obed? Or you'd still want to wait longer?” The Judge asked with a smirk on his face. He looked drawn. His Bald head seemed even more balder than when he walked into the courtroom.***It was afternoon and the sun was heavy outside; one of the hottest summers
The Billionaire's Retribution Final judgment
Everyone began to rumble and rumble on, arguments arising from the observers as they all pondered on his reason.Magnus and Maxwell exchanged mischievous glances followed by satisfying laughter. “He is a superstar indeed!” Magnus cheered, gripping Maxwell tightly. The two men were so ecstatic about their victory and they could not wait to eventually claim it.Even Luciana was taken aback by this response as she left her lips agape, trying to regain composure.Whoever this man is, he is a professionalLuciana thought to herself, taking in his response and trying to regain her argument.“Where was this diagnosed?” She asked him, this time putting aside any desire to maintain decorum.“Back home in Louisiana, a private clinic.”“Can a report be provided to this effect?” Luciana asked again.Obed nodded.Luciana took a deep breath, moving away from that argument.“Mr Obed, since you and Mr Marcus were familiar with each other. What then was it so pertinent for you to take pictures of you

Marcus was too stunned to utter a word.All his life, he had known that Uncle Richard was a father figure to him. He has seen him make things easier for him but guiding him through difficult times and making life easier for him.But this one was the height of kindness. He has never seen a kind act such as this, oire selflessness.Even the hardy judge was stunned by it.“You must love him too much to be willing to spend the night at the cell for his sake?” The Judge said with a smirk. “He is like my son, my Lord. Whatever I cannot bear to have my son endure, I would never let him endure the same.”Richard's voice was shaky now and it created an emotional moment within the courtroom. The only people who did not seem moved to tears by it were Magnus, Maxwell and the Brutal Prosecutor.Everyother person felt drawn to compassion by the act of service and care Richard was prepared to show Magnus.The Judge cleared his throat and everyone waited to hear his possible response.“Well, since y

“Get into the damn car you idiot!” the man with the gun pointing to him yelled, dragging him to the car door.Obed was shaking with fright. He could not understand what was going on and he tried to play his mind to get it straightened but no thought was coming to his mind.“I am so sorry…” he whispered, his voice escaping into a gentle moan. The hit the edge of the gun against his back and he screamed out in pain and quickly did as he was forced to.He allowed them to shove him into the car, and the one with the gun slammed the door.“Give us directions to your home now!” The other man sitting to his left ordered. Obed's mind was slightly hazy as he struggled to gather his thoughts to be able to give a response to the needs of this chaotic men. “Start speaking fast. We do not have much time!” The one that shoved him into the car groaned and Obed nodded hastily and started pointing towards his house.His mind quickly recollected and he was able to remember all he had forgotten.The
The Billionaire's Retribution Marcus in distress
Marcus turned over and over on his bed. He was ridden with a high level of restlessness. There was nothing he could do to get away now. He was given only seven days by the grumpy Judge and out of the seven days, he had used up two and basically achieved nothing. Now, he had only about five days to go and there was no clue to his justification in the case. He and Luciana kept on searching for leads on Obed and leads on Matthew SheIn.Sam knocked lightly on his door and he grumpily asked him to come in.Sam pushed the door lightly and walked in towards Marcus's bed.“Good morning Boss,” his face was not as bright as it usually would be.Marcus sat up on the bed and brought his feet down to the ground, sliding them into his slippers.“What is going on Sam?” Marcus asked with a bit of anxiety, building up within him.“Another series of rejection mails dropped on our radar this morning,” Sam replied with a slight groan in his voice.Marcus took a deep breath. He turned away from Sam and w

“I know how you feel,” Camelia whispered to Marcus, following him back to his sitting room and finding a couch to plant herself.She had rang him earlier, immediately after Sam left to tell him that she had something really important to tell him.“What do you understand about how I feel?” Marcus asked sarcastically, smiling through his sorrow.“You cannot believe that you are in a situation like this, not at this time. I am also hurt by it and I am putting my ears to the ground to make sure that I help you and Luciana solve this mysterious case.”Her eyes shine with compassion and it triggered a strange feeling within Marcus. He was extremely pleased with how invested she was in helping him find the justice that she believed he deserved.“I know how painful it is to watch yourself in this situation. I mean, who would think that Marcus Blackwood would be sentenced to life imprisonment? Look, I will never let that happen to you. As a matter of fact, I think I may have found the answer t

Marcus and his company pulled up at the Weldich health centre, right at the heart of the little community.Just as Camelia had stated, it was a small village and looked like it had a lot of makeshift cottages.“But why would she leave the city to live in a place like this?” Luciana asked, she had a look of disapproval on her face.“I guess we are about to find out,” Marcus replied, getting out of the car. “I do not know how far off her place is from here but I think it would be best if we leave the vehicle here in this square.”Others nodded to his suggestion. It made a lot of sense for them to leave the vehicle back at the square as it could implicate them if they had to take it with them.They walked the long miles, trying to figure out the cottage that Camelia has said she believed that Loren was living in.“Are you sure this is the community?” Luciana asked, sounding a bit exhausted because she had walked longer than she was used to and the roads were a bit rocky.“We should be th

Loren let them into the house and shut the door.She was filled with compassion over the entire situation and could not allow an innocent man go to jail because she was trying to protect herself from their rivalry.She offered them seats to sit on and proceeded to serve them biscuits.Her little cottage was surprisingly well decorated and it was homely too.Camelia kept looking around, as though she was taking in every detail of her little home.“Why did you change your mind to let us in?” Marcus asked with curiosity nagging at his chest.Loren cleared her throat.“The truth is, I could have let you in if you were a different person. Perhaps, any of these other people had come here, I would have let them in. But you, I could not easily do so because the last thing I wanted was to be in the middle of the fight between you and Magnus.”Marcus groaned. She made a lot of sense and the rest of his team knew this. She was just being careful.“I understand you Miss Loren. What you did what y

As the sun began to rise over the city, casting a golden glow on the streets, Clara and her team stood outside the docks, their breaths still heavy from the fight. With Magnus apprehended and his henchmen scattered, the sense of victory was palpable.“Is it really over?” Mara asked, her eyes reflecting the morning light.“Feels like it,” Clara replied, a cautious smile creeping onto her face. “We’ve fought too hard for this to slip away now.”Marcus stepped forward, pulling out his phone to call the authorities. “They’ll want to take Magnus into custody. This time, he won’t be able to wriggle his way out of it.”As the police sirens wailed in the distance, a mixture of relief and anticipation washed over the group. Clara could hardly believe how far they had come since they had first banded together to confront the darkness in their city.In the following days, word spread about Magnus's defeat and the disbandment of his criminal network. The community began to breathe a sigh of relie

Together, they had become a force to be reckoned with, as they shared a collective nod, a silent agreement that they were all in this together. Marcus carefully jimmied the lock open. The door creaked as it swung inward, revealing a dimly lit corridor lined with rusted machinery and crates.“Stay quiet,” Marcus whispered, leading the way with Clara right behind him. They moved in a tight formation, with Mara and Eli covering the rear.As they ventured deeper into the warehouse, the sounds of muffled voices began to filter through the walls. Clara’s heart raced—this was it. They were getting closer to the action.“Let’s split up,” Marcus suggested, peeking around a corner. “Mara, you take the left side. Clara, you and Eli cover the right. We’ll converge at the main room in the center.”“Got it,” Clara replied, feeling a rush of adrenaline. She and Eli moved stealthily down the right corridor, keeping low and watching for any signs of movement.The voices grew louder as they approached

.“Are we really done with Magnus?” Eli asked, stretching as he joined Clara, his face still a mix of exhaustion and disbelief.“Only for now,” Clara replied, glancing at Marcus and Mara, who were going over the plans for their next move. “But it feels good to know we stood up to him. He won’t be back anytime soon.”Marcus looked up, a thoughtful expression on his face. “We need to regroup and figure out what’s next. Magnus may be in custody, but we know he has allies. We can’t let our guard down.”Mara nodded in agreement. “And we need to find out what else he was planning. There’s got to be more to it than just controlling the city through fear.”“Right,” Clara said, her mind racing with the possibilities. “Let’s start by gathering any information we can. We need to dig deeper into his operations.”As the day unfolded, they began strategizing. Clara took charge, flipping through notes and files they had collected over time. “We need to hit his connections hard. If we can disrupt the

Eli groaned but pushed himself up, adrenaline surging through him despite the throbbing pain in his ribs. “I’m good,” he gasped, his eyes darting to the downed guard. “Let’s finish this!”“Good,” Marcus said, his breath steadying as he turned back to the entrance, where the chaos was still unfolding. “Clara, stick close to me. Eli, take the rear. We need to find a way to secure this place before Magnus decides to make an appearance.”“Right!” Clara replied, determination etched on her face. Together, they charged further into the heart of the factory, the sound of the fireworks still booming outside, providing a cacophony that masked their movements.As they navigated through the maze of machinery and crates, the atmosphere grew thicker with tension. Clara’s instincts kicked in, and she felt a sense of urgency pushing her forward. They needed to find Magnus and stop him before he could mobilize his men.“Where do you think he is?” Mara whispered, glancing around at the shadows that lo

As the group approached the factory, the moonlight cast eerie shadows over the crumbling walls. They could see the faint outline of guards patrolling the perimeter, their silhouettes shifting in the dim light. Clara felt her heart race, every instinct in her body screaming that they were heading into danger. Yet, beneath that fear was a resolute determination to confront Magnus and end this once and for all.“Okay, remember the plan,” Marcus whispered, his voice steady despite the tension. “Mara and Eli, you’ll set off the fireworks on the east side while Clara and I create a distraction on the north entrance.”“Got it,” Mara replied, glancing at Eli, who nodded in agreement.As they moved into position, Clara could feel the weight of the moment bearing down on her. She glanced at Marcus, who was scanning the area with a focused intensity. “Are you ready for this?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.“I have to be,” he replied, determination flashing in his eyes. “For everyon

“I still can’t believe Magnus is out there,” Clara said, pacing the small room, her brow furrowed with concern. “He’s not the type to back down easily.”Marcus leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his jaw set in determination. “He’ll come back. We need to prepare for whatever he’s planning. We can’t underestimate him again.”Mara, sitting on a makeshift bench, rubbed her temples, still feeling the tension from the fight. “What if he tries to retaliate against us personally? He knows who we are now.”Eli, leaning against the table, chimed in. “We need to gather intel on his operations. If we know where he’s hiding or what he’s planning, we can strike first.”“Good idea,” Marcus replied, his mind racing with possibilities. “But how do we find him? He has a network, and we’re just a small team.”Just then, Clara’s phone buzzed, breaking the tension in the air. She glanced at the screen, her expression shifting from concern to curiosity. “It’s a text from a contact I haven’t heard from

With the remaining henchmen falling one by one, it became clear that the tide was turning. The cacophony of chaos seemed to intensify, but Marcus’s focus sharpened on Magnus, who was now cornered against the wall, his bravado fading.“Looks like your little party is crashing down, Magnus,” Marcus taunted, stepping closer, his fists clenched.Magnus glared, anger burning in his eyes. “You think this is over? You have no idea what you’re dealing with!”“Maybe not, but I know what I’m going to do next,” Marcus said, his voice low and threatening. He motioned to Eli, who nodded and moved to flank Magnus.Suddenly, Magnus lunged toward a nearby table, grabbing a glass bottle and swinging it at Marcus. The glass shattered against the wall just inches from Marcus’s head.“Careful!” Marcus shouted, ducking just in time.Mara, ever vigilant, charged forward again, this time aiming a solid punch directly at Magnus’s jaw. The force of her hit sent him staggering backward. “You won’t get away thi

The days that followed the ambush were a blur of activity for Marcus, Mara, Clara, and Eli. Each moment was filled with tension, anticipation, and the weight of what lay ahead. They meticulously planned their counterattack against Magnus and his henchmen, determined to turn the tables and regain control of their lives.The small, dimly lit warehouse they had chosen as their temporary headquarters buzzed with energy as they gathered around a large table cluttered with maps, photos, and notes. Marcus pointed at a large map of the city spread out before them.“Alright, here’s the plan,” he began, his voice steady and authoritative. “We know that Magnus operates out of several locations, but we believe he’s using this old warehouse on the outskirts of town as his base of operations.”Clara leaned closer, her finger tracing a route on the map. “If we can get the jump on them here, we can cut off any escape routes they might have. It’s a perfect setup for an ambush.”“Exactly,” Marcus agree
