Chapter - 109

"I am home," it was around dinner time that Alex walked into the house. He was so tired that, tossing his bag to the sides, he dropped dead on the couch in exhaustion.

"You look dog-tired. What have you been up to all day?" Martha asked as she walked out of the kitchen with a glass of water, hearing Alex.

"It was really a tiring day," taking the glass from her, Alex said, "I had to run around places to find out what really happened with Abir and Suzie. If not for Margaret, I would still be running around without much success," Alex said and gulped down the whole glass in one go.

"You were with Margaret till now?" Martha asked when she heard Alex. Her motherly instincts began to kick in.

"No... not all day, but till lunch, yeah," Alex nodded, "Huh... If not for her, I wouldn't know what to do," Alex sighed.

"Like a date?" Martha asked, raising her brows in question.

"No, mom... No... Hell no. It was not a date. I met her outside, and the club I was going to, Margaret actu

    Chapter - 110Inside the courtroom,As Alex and Daniel walked into the courtroom, it was almost packed to the brim with journalists from various media houses. Looking at the crowd, Alex felt that he could have significantly misjudged the rising popularity of Abir and Suzie. They may not have their core fan base yet, but people seem interested in them.As they made their way forward through the crowd, Alex wanted to sit on the seat in the front, among the audience, but he was stopped by Daniel."You should join me there," Daniel said as he pointed towards the defence side. Alex thought his job was done after running around for the past couple of days but looks like he needs to play Daniel's deputy one last time.Alex nodded and followed Daniel to the other side of the small wooden barricade. As the two of them settled on their seats, Abir and Suzie also walked in, accompanied by their managers. The four of them sat down in the first row in the audience.Alex, when saw them, turned towa

This time, Arlo flinched hearing Daniel, which didn't go unnoticed by Daniel.It was time to hit the nail. Daniel turned towards the Judge and continued, "Your Honour, Mr Sadman here was fired from his job because of his involvement in this very incident. In the medical report on your table submitted by the prosecution, traces of drugs were found in my client's blood. This is true, and I am not here to argue about that. But the prosecution, without any investigation, concluded that it was my client Abir who did drugs." Daniel finally got somewhere around the point as he looked at the prosecutor."But this could not be any far from the truth. In fact, it was none other than Mr Sadman here who spiked my client's drink that day. Didn't you, Mr Sadman?" Daniel asked, turning to Arlo.Arlo, on the other hand, had no interest in the proceedings of the case. He was busy weighing up his options a

    Chapter - 112After Daniel was done presenting his side, the audience began to discuss among themselves the major points from the hearing and began to issue their own verdicts on whether Abir was innocent or not. And no doubt, there was a unanimous opinion that Abir was innocent, and it was the prosecution playing dirty."Your Honour," with all the ridicule coming his way, the prosecutor didn’t wait for the Judge to get done with Abir’s case and wanted to get started with Suzie's case right away."Shut up... Shut up... Not a single word before I ask you to yap," as soon as the prosecutor's voice fell into his ears, the Judge, without any regard for the audience, lashed out at the prosecutor. The case against Abir had no substance whatsoever. From the look of things, it was not Abir but the police and the prosecution who were high on weed. These idiots could not even investigate the facts that lay in front of them, begging to be investigated.The Judge was very much worried about how t

The Judge was irked by all the time Daniel was taking to build the context and trying to make it sound all mysterious."Certainly not, Your Honour," Daniel was quick to clarify and put forth a sheepish smile. The Judge had such a short temper that he really might throw anything he could get a hold of at him."Then hurry up," The Judge ordered."Yes, Your Honor!" Daniel nodded"Your Honour, we have evidence to prove the defence's claims against the victim," Daniel said, "With your permission, I would like to present them before the court.""Should I stamp it for you now?" Hearing Daniel, the Judge sarcastically replied, "Hurry up, and show us".Daniel nodded and looked toward Alex. Alex then played the video on the screen, "Your Honor! The footage of all the CCTVs across the street was missing from the exact time of the incident. Thanks to the prosecution. The police had taken it all away, and to prove that you have the written stat

Meanwhile, no one paid attention to Alex, and he sneaked his way out easily, following behind Daniel.In a cafe near the court,"So, what do you think?" Daniel asked as the two of them sat beside the glass window in the cafe, enjoying their beverage."Well, it's plain as paper. We are going to win this," Alex said. He did not even try to hide his amusement."Not nervous anymore?" Daniel asked, reminding him of how he was just before the hearing started."I won't lie. I did almost freaked out when I heard you admit to the charges in the beginning. You surely gave everyone a shock." Alex said, remembering the beginning of Daniel's opening statement."Hahaha!" Hearing Alex, Daniel broke into a burst of laughter. It took him a while to calm down. After he did, he said, "You need to set t

    Chapter - 115Inside the courtroom,Soon the half-hour break was over, and the courtroom was once again packed to its entirety. Maybe even more people were in there. Daniel and Alex were soon seated on their seats, and not long after that, the prosecutor also walked in with his head hung low. From the way his lips moved, Alex could easily deduce that nothing went his way during the break, and he was probably cursing them and the Judge.After everyone had settled in the room, the Judge also walked in, dragging those old bones. Everyone present there stood up to greet him.Wearing his glasses, the Judge started to address everyone there, “Case Number 2022/02/K-1017, Abir Johnson versus the State, defendant?” The Judge read out, and through the gaps of his glasses, peeked to spot Abir.Hearing his name, Abir stood up in his place among the audience.“Listening to the arguments from both, the defence and the prosecution, and in light of the evidence presented to the court, the next hearin

They have just gotten rid of the pestering reporters, always wanting more."It is nothing compared to you. I was just the means, but you used it to the max today," Alex tried to be a bit humble."Too much humility can be seen as arrogance. And above all, I had everything served in a platter to me. If I couldn't even use that, I should rather put my degree in the market," Daniel said as he chuckled, looking at Alex. While Alex could only smile hearing him, not commenting anything on it."You know, I have been wanting to ask you something. How did you know that Suzie was involved in all this?" Daniel asked."To be perfectly honest, I did nothing different. I just wanted to be thorough, so I tracked the places Abir and Suzie visited on the day of the so-called incident. Abir was quite easy, but for Suzie, I had to dig around a bit more, and her movement in the last few days, I found them a bit

Alex was peeking inside through the door, "Come in," Karen said, gesturing to him with a wave of her hand.Getting the say-so from Karen, Alex walked in, carefully closing the door behind.With the coffee mug in one hand and the paper bag in his other, Alex stood in front of Karen silently, without saying a word."Take a seat. You are not in the army. Hahaha..." Karen tried to joke, only to laugh at it herself. While Alex just took the seat and did not say anything else. He was also trying to figure out how to make things less awkward."Ahem..." Clearing her throat, Karen adjusted herself, "So, how was it? Working with Daniel, I mean. I hope he did not boss you around," Karen asked, composing herself. Karen did not want to let the silence grow. Otherwise, soon it will make things awkward and hard to continue between them.Karen had long made her mind that it was mostly her fault that day, and she was

The flickering lights cast eerie shadows, making the whole place feel like a freaking horror movie. The big man, looking like a giant beast, led them further into the narrow space. "Alright, cough it up, you little prying rats. What the hell do you think you're doing, snooping around in other people's business?" The big man roared at them, his voice booming with aggression. "Who sent you? Dogs of Hell?" Damien furrowed his brow in frustration. "Dogs of Hell? Who in the hell are they?" he retorted. "Look, man, like we said earlier, we are not here to cause any trouble. We're sorry if we crossed a line." Alex interrupted, trying to lighten the tension. "Dogs of Hell? That's a funny name," he remarked with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Wait... If you think about it, it's actually cool... Dogs Of Hell." The big man ignored Alex's attempt at hu

If we are caught, we won't get out of it easily," Alex and Damien rode Alex's motorcycle and followed behind Audrey's car as soon as she left the house."Oh, come on, Alex! Don't be such a buzzkill. It's not like we're doing anything harmful. I just want to find out more about this Audrey girl and see what she's up to," Damien gently tapped Alex's shoulder and urged him to hurry up."I get it, curiosity can be compelling, but this feels wrong. On top of that, if we are caught, it won't end up with just a beating. Haven't you been on the internet lately? Even looking at girls in the gym apparently is a crime these days," Alex spoke up as he drove."Look, Alex, I get it. But Mom is involved in this. I want to find out every nook and cranny about this girl who appeared out of nowhere," Damien said, "And you get beat up in the process. I am sure it's worth the sacrifice. Don't you t

Stay for a bit more," Martha who was sitting beside Audrey held her hand and said, "Or even better, just stay the night here.""I would love to but I have already made some plans with a friend of mine," Audrey expressed her regret, "If I had known it would be such a pleasant evening, I would have definitely ditched her earlier. But it's too late to cancel now.""I hope you understand," Audrey asked."If you say it like that, there is nothing more that I can say, "Martha was downcasted, but she had this simple smile on her face, "But promise me that you will visit more often while you are in town.""Absolutely," Audrey agreed as she gracefully stood up, "With how funny your son is, there is no doubt that I am going to visit again

You know, when you were away for three months," Martha told him, "We met at the hospital, and I was instantly drawn towards her. After all, she is just the sweetest girl I have ever met.""Oh... It was when I was away," Alex turned his attention towards Audrey and looked at her with squinted eyes."You... Don't look at her like that," Martha left Alex's side and walked beside Audrey, placing her hand over her shoulder, "You better not be rude to my friend over here.""If she is not a fraud," Alex mumbled."What? What did you say?" Martha frowned."It's okay..." Audrey put her hand over Martha's hand, which was on her shoulder, and lightly squeezed it, "I am sure he is just caring for you in his own way.""And don't worry, I am sure I will win him over in no time," Audrey looked at Alex and said, looking meaningfully at Alex, "Just like I charmed you.""Oh!

She turned her head towards the sound and saw it was Alex. But then, her eyes went wide open again. When Karen looked down, her robe had disappeared, and she was only covered in the damn white hospital sheet."What the... How... Where the hell are my clothes?" Karen pulled up the sheet, clutching it tight to her chest, and gave Alex a bewildered look."You don't remember?" Alex chuckled, finding Karen's reaction amusing."No..." Karen wanted to deny it, but suddenly everything came flooding back. The moments she spent in Alex's arms not too long ago became crystal clear in her mind."We..." Karen began to piece it together as she looked at Alex with questioning eyes."Yeah, we did..." Alex nodded, understanding what she wanted to ask even without Karen finishing her sentence."It wasn't a damn dream?" Karen still couldn't wrap her head a

    Chapter - 198 "Alex," Karen whispered softly, her voice filled with longing. "I've been waiting for this moment." Alex's heart skipped a beat as he leaned in, pressing his lips against hers in a searing kiss. Their mouths melded together in a fiery embrace, their tongues dancing in a sensual tango. Karen's hand slid down from his cheek, tracing a path down his chest and resting on his firm abdomen. She could feel his muscles tense beneath her touch, igniting a hunger within her. Without breaking the kiss, Alex's hands roamed over Karen's body, finding the curve of her waist and pulling her closer to him. Her body pressed against his, and he could feel the heat between them intensifying with each passing second. Karen's fingers found their way to the buttons of his shirt, eagerly undoing them one by one, revealing his toned chest. Alex's hands moved to the tie of Karen's gown, and with a deft movement, he loosened it, revealing her ample cleavage. He couldn't resist, and his mouth d

She couldn't wait to get back on her feet and leave the sterile hospital environment behind. She was bored and restless, longing for some human interaction beyond the nurses who came in and out of her room with their cheerful smiles and professional demeanour.'Why did he have to leave without a word?' Karen thought about a certain someone, her eyes expecting to see him.And as if on cue, there was a knock on her door, and in walked Alex, her cure. The tall and handsome man, with a pleasing presence around him.Karen had her eyes on him from the moment he joined the company. He brought joy to her ever so mundane life. She couldn't help but be drawn to his fresh good looks. His grey eyes looked so lonely, yet so warm, and the subtle smile that always played on his lips."Good evening, Karen," Alex said. His tone was deep, velvety, his eyes fixed on her as he

It had been more than thirty minutes since he called Damien, but this lazy slob was nowhere to be seen. But just as he was about to call him again, Alex saw a light beaming at him from far away and coming in close.Soon, the light got brighter and brighter before a motorcycle stopped in front of him."What took you so long?" Alex could not help but throw his arms."Don't complain to me. How do you think I got here? I had to tell so many lies because of you." Damien threw a bag at Alex and said, "And I am sure Mom is going to grill us even more when we reach home.""I am sure you can handle that.

Panic set in as the man realized that he was in trouble. How did he get here? The man could not remember how he had ended up in this mess. The silence was overwhelming, and the only thing he could hear was his own rapid breathing. "Help! Help me!" The man shouted, his voice echoing off the walls of the building. But there was no response, and the man began to feel even more scared. He tried to wriggle free, but the ropes were too tight. It was a dark, abandoned building out in nowhere, with not a single soul to be seen in miles. But the man did not know as he continued to struggle. He struggled for what seemed like an eternity to him with no luck. He was about
