Keith shrugged, “I guess the discussion is over then.”Mrs. Hockings grabbed his arm. “No please, I'm begging you.”Keith shrugged her hand off, “Since you are already begging then there should not be a problem with you doing it properly.”Mrs. Hockings flinched as Keith's words registered, she peeped over her shoulder to catch a glimpse of her husband who was looking ready to slaughter the man asking for what felt like the impossible. If her assumptions were right then Keith was asking her and her family to go down on their knees to beg properly like he had requested. But Mrs. Hockings knew her husband and daughter well enough and needed no spokesman to reveal that her family would never scramble that low to Keith's level even at the risk of ending up roaming on the streets with nothing. And she was the only sensible one at the moment, the only one sensible enough to realize what was at risk and how badly it would affect them. She was the only one sensible enough to set things straig

“Yes there could be another way but I'm not seeing that way now, so it's either this or we lose.” “More like we already lost,” Sheila mumbled under her breath with clenched fists. She had nothing against her mother. She was happy her mother was doing the right thing and taking control of the situation, something her father and she could not do. She has caught the pure satisfaction that sparked in Keith's eyes several times now, he was enjoying himself, the moment where he was above them but Sheila was sure this moment would not last for too long, once all this was over she was going to get back at him and the stupid bitch leeching around him. But like they say, ‘Every day for the thief, one day for the owner’. Keith might as well enjoy this moment but once she and her family get what they wanted then she would show him just how bad she could get.Sheila released her father, grumbling protests and profanities under her breath as she took a step forward and went down on her knees just

“We are not asking for much, we just want a roof over_,”“Fine,” Keith interrupted before Mrs. Hockings could complete her plea for a roof over their head, turning his back to them. He exhaled, suddenly filled with exhaustion, he reached for Camila's hand and went on with what he had wanted to do before the interruption from the Hockings family. Camila moved easily into his awaiting arms and followed his lead as he approached the car.Camila sighed, glancing up at him, “Are you alright?” She questioned worriedly. Keith glanced down at her, his hold on her shoulder tightening. “Yes, I just need a few moments to gather back my thoughts.”Camila nodded quickly in understanding and raised her hand to wrap it around Keith's waist, “Of course, you've got all the time you need.”Keith chuckled but focused on getting Camila settled into the car before moving in beside her to sit in the passenger seat.Camila raised a brow at him, “You are not driving?”Keith nodded in response, “Not in the m

Mrs. Hockings sighed deeply, dropping her purse on the couch, and sucked in a deep breath as if to snuff the entire place out. “It sure is nice to be able to call this ours once again,” she said gratefully. Mr. Hockings glared at his wife, “Yes, with completely nothing and a ruined life,” he said as a matter of fact, “I do not seem to understand what you can be happy about with everything going on.”The smile on Mrs. Hockings was quickly wiped off and replaced with a frown, “I was expecting nothing more from you. I am starting to think you were very comfortable with the plan to live on the streets, weren't you? Unless why would you be so pigheaded to be grateful about having back a house to stay in.”Sheila sighed, exhaustion written all over her face, she stepped into her house along with two men and dumped her purse onto the table. “Could you both please, keep your voices down? My head is banging terribly and your voices are not doing anything to help.” Mr. Hockings growled, “If o

Sheila's important business was Frank, and she knew her father also knew that but made no attempt to stop her, not like anyone could stop her. Frank Kinney had chosen the wrong people to throw under the bus and she was going to do the honors of showing him just how big of a mess he has gotten himself involved with.For a brief second, she thought about going to take her gun and just blast his head off but that would be too easy for such betrayal. So, she would do what she did best, play with her prey until all resistance broke, and then he was squirming beneath her and pleading for mercy. The whiff of breeze that hit Sheila only made her more annoyed as the wind scattered her hair. Her eyes met with a man standing by the gate, carrying a small suitcase, he was her father's driver, she took in his suitcase and the direction he was heading. The bastard was going to ditch the family. She sucked in a deep breath and stomped to where he stood, intentionally ignoring the suitcase and keepi

“You good for nothing scum,” Sheila screamed and shoved Frank back again, before giving him yet another slap_ at least that was what she thought because Frank had his fingers around her wrist holding her down before her hand could reach his face. “Let go of me, you fool.”Frank scoffed, “Or else what? You will beat me_,”Frank did not have the chance to complete his statement as Sheila raised her knee and hit it where the sun didn't shine. Frank released her immediately, holding his crutch and groaning in pain.Sheila adored her handwork with pride then smirked, “Or else that,” she scrunched her face in disgust and then raised her hand to her mouth to wipe her mouth, “And don't you ever think of touching me ever again,” she warned, vigorously wiping her mouth as if to wipe a stain. Frank scoffed, glaring at her despite the obvious pain on his face, “That was not how you felt yesterday, my dear girlfriend,” he mocked, eyeing her as he took cautious steps away from her.Sheila's frown

Camila heaved a deep sigh as she dropped her purse on the couch, then yanked the painful heel off her feet and shoved it aside in one kick. She growled and slumped onto the nearest couch in sight which also happened to be the largest of all the couches in the house. She laid on her back and slapped her palm over her face.“Camila!”She heard Keith call from outside but she did not have enough strength to open her mouth and give a response, so she lay still waiting for when he would notice her.“Camila! Ba_,” Keith trailed off and she suspected he must have noticed her and her suspicion was confirmed when she heard his approaching footsteps.“Baby, are you okay?” Keith quizzed, kneeling beside Camila, with his gaze studying her covered face worriedly. “Do you feel sick? Tired?” Camila grumbled something under her breath that Keith didn't quite catch. “Huh? Please say it again, baby. I'm beginning to worry,” Keith inched closer to her, pondering on whether he should yank her hand off

Frank heaved a sigh, biting down on his tongue. His face was as pale as someone who had seen a ghost, and he looked nothing like the man he was. He appeared to have lost some weight and unlike the properly ironed suit he was usually always wearing, he was just dressed casually in a random black round neck top and plain blue jeans but the most contradicting accessory to his character was the face cap he has on his face, pulled so closely to his face as if to shield his face. His shoulders were held up high but unlike his previous pride stance, he was held up in a more awkward and uncomfortable looking way, with tension oozing from him. Frank's hand automatically moved to his left arm and then ran his fingers against the surface of his bandaged wrist, his mind traveling to how he had gotten it, the venom and anger he had seen in the eyes of his ex girlfriend, and an involuntary shudder went down his spine, he gulped down nothing. It has been two days since the unfortunate accident had

"Abraham Corner, you are hereby sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for the murder of Mrs. Genevieve. You are further sentenced to an additional 25 years for the murder of Adam Kurt and 15 years for the coercion and unlawful imprisonment of your employees. These sentences will run consecutively. May this serve as a reminder that no one is above the law." The courtroom erupted into noise as reporters shouting questions, spectators murmuring in shock, and some even clapping in approval. Keith turned to Camila, who sat in silent disbelief, her eyes welling with tears."It’s over. You’re free." Keith said softly as Camila looked at Evelyn, who stood tall and calm, a small but victorious smile on her face.The judge banged his gavel to restore order."Bailiff, escort the defendant out of the courtroom. Court is adjourned." The judge said as the bailiffs approached Abraham, he turned to Sheila, his face dark and menacing."You think you’ve won? This isn’t over."

"You’ll soon be free." He said as Camila nodded, her lips trembling as she smiled. Tears welled in her eyes, but she quickly brushed them away, determined to stay strong.Sheila walked to the center of the courtroom, holding a remote control for the court’s audiovisual system."Your Honor, with your permission, I would like to present a video to the court. Before I play it, I need to explain how I came into possession of this video." Sheila said to the judge. Mr. Nolan immediately rose to his feet."Objection, Your Honor. This is highly irregular. The prosecution cannot…" The judge held up a hand, cutting him off."Mr. Nolan, sit down. Ms. Hockings, you may proceed." The judge said firmly."Thank you, Your Honor." Sheila said, nodding as She turned to face the courtroom, her voice steady and commanding."This video was obtained during my investigation into Mr. Corner’s workplace. It was anonymously sent to me by an employee who could no longer remain silent. The footage, captured by a

"Overruled. Ms. Warren, proceed." The judge said firmly."Thank you, Mr. Wallace. No further questions." Sheila said, turning back to James. She called two more witnesses, each echoing similar stories of abuse, threats, and control. By the end, the jury looked visibly disturbed, and the courtroom buzzed with tension.Finally, Sheila took a deep breath and held up a document."Your Honor, I refer to Section 12.5 of the state constitution, which condemns any individual who uses power, intimidation, or violence to suppress others. Mr. Corner’s actions, as described by these witnesses, align perfectly with this behavior. This is not just a man who mistreats employees. This is a man capable of anything, including the crimes he’s charged with." She said as the courtroom erupted in whispers."What the actual hell! This man is a beast." Smart said, whispering loudly to Duncan."Focus, Smart. This is just the beginning. Let’s see how his lawyer responds." Duncan said, nodding grimly."Your Hon

"Your Honor, members of the jury, today we will uncover the truth about the heinous deaths of Mrs. Genevieve and Mr. Adam Kurt, the accused’s secretary. The evidence points clearly that Abraham Corner killed both of them . While Mr. Corner has denied any involvement, his actions, motives, and the surrounding circumstances tell a different story." She paused, turning slightly toward Abraham at the defense table. "Let’s begin by calling Mr. Corner to the witness stand.""Mr. Corner, please take the stand." The judge said as Abraham stood, his movements deliberate and unhurried. Dressed immaculately in a tailored suit, he exuded confidence as he made his way to the witness stand. His face was unreadable, a mask of composure.After being sworn in, he sat down, clasping his hands lightly on the armrest."Mr. Corner, let’s start with your relationship with Mrs. Genevieve. Were you friends? Business partners?" Ms Harding asked, approaching him with a calm but piercing intensity."Neither. We

Abraham's lawyer came to see him in prison with threatening news.“No one is on your side. They are all against you,” the lawyer said as Abraham clenched his fists.“Make sure you do everything in your power to get me out of here. I can't be here,” Abraham said as the lawyer nodded.“I'll do everything possible. We have a hearing tomorrow. We'll make sure you win the case,” the lawyer said as Abraham sighed.The next day, Sheila prepared for the initial hearing. She wasn't going to miss it for anything. She was going to follow everything so they don't end up losing. While she was preparing, she suddenly felt nauseous. She ran to the bathroom and threw up.“Are you okay? What's going on?” Duncan asked, going to her but she refused his help.“I'm fine. What are you doing here?” She asked him as he felt bad.“Just wanted to check up on you,” he said.“I'm fine,” she said, walking out.The courtroom is tense as Abraham was brought in.

They searched through drawers, cupboard for over an hour but still didn't get anything while Abraham was attending to his guests. Adam came forward to say something when the atmosphere changed. Abraham wondered what the problem was until he saw Adam. He clenched his jaw, getting angry.“I have something to discuss with you, sir,” he said as Abraham dragged him to a corner “Are you trying to get me angry?” Abraham asked.“Sir, I need to report something to you,” Adam said but Abraham wasn't having any of it.“Get out. Don't show your face till this is over. Don't you have any shame? Seriously, I'm already getting pissed,” Abraham said, walking away.“Guys, you need to get out of there. Abraham is coming your way,” Riley said as Smart ran out immediately. Keith found a secret room. Just as he was about to check it out, Duncan held him in his hand.“We need to leave now. Abraham is coming,” Duncan said as Keith nodded.“Okay. Let's go,” Keith said as they left. When Abraham came inside

“Are you boys ready?” Duncan asked, joining the team as Smart scoffed.“We're not boys. We're grown ass men. One of us has a child while you're still in a complicated relationship because you chose to while I'm just being myself,” Smart pointed out.“He is not in a complicated relationship. He just isn't into any relationship. I heard Sheila broke it off with him. She said she was no longer interested in his back and forth relationship,” Keith said as Smart laughed.“That serves him right,” Smart said as he and Keith fistbumbed.“Guys, I'm right here,” Duncan said, announcing his presence.“You are? We don't see you,” Smart said as Keith laughed while Duncan rolled his eyes.“Whatever. Everything is ready and planned out. We just have to enter his house without being noticed and get right back,” Duncan said as they nodded.“Then let's do this.

New evidence has surfaced, and it challenges everything we thought we knew about this case. Could it be that Camila Joffrey, accused of murder, has been wrongfully implicated? How is it that Mr. Corner’s secretary is now tied to the crime scene? Was this connection overlooked, or deliberately concealed? And what about Mr. Corner himself? Does he truly have no knowledge of this development, or is he feigning ignorance to sway public opinion in his favor? As the investigation continues, we are committed to uncovering the truth behind these mysteries. Stay with us as we dig deeper into this unfolding story. Reporting live, this is Nicki Samson.Keith turned off the television as he leaned on the table, folding his hands.“So, what next?” Smart asked.“We will investigate his office.

She could feel a headache coming and she felt like vomiting.“I want you three to do something for me,” she said as Duncan turned to her.“What is

"Yeah, I saw him leave too. He was driving really fast, and he didn’t seem like he was in a hurry to get anywhere. It was... suspicious." A neighbor said as whispers were heard."The court will now take a recess. We will reconvene at 3 o'clock to continue these proceedings. Please remember that all court rules and decorum remain in effect during this time. Court is adjourned." The judge said as he struck the gavel.The courtroom is tense, the murmur of the spectators subsiding as the defense lawyer Sheila Hockings, rises to her feet, ready to call the next witness. She gestures toward Adam, who was seated at the witness stand. Sheila moves forward, poised and determined, as the jury watches attentively.“Remind me why I love her again,” Duncan said as Smart looked at him.“I don't know. I think you don't know your problem,” Smart said. Duncan pretended like he didn't hear what his brother said."Mr. Daniels, you are aware that you have been linked to the victim, and to the crime scene
