Sheila kept her fake smile on as she brushed past the fancy looking people in the hallway, there was no way she was wiping off this facade amid all the people, even though her stance and clenched fist did not exactly match what the smile on her face was projecting. She could see from her peripheral view as people whispered as she passed by and some went as far as to take pictures, as Sheila wondered if it was for a good reason or because they recognized her as the lady that used to date Keith Thompson and had been taken to court. She yanked the shawl around her shoulders closer to herself as a shudder went down her spine at the thought that it could be the latter part instead, her shoulders visibly relaxing as she looked up to find the restroom door along with the ladies sign on it, confirming she was truly in the right place. She rushed in quickly, shutting the door and the stupid smile immediately eased off her face and replaced it with a vile look. She walked past each of the stal

“You and Abraham Connor are weirdly in sync,” Camila whispered to Keith as she dragged her eyes away from Abraham.Keith scrunched his face, “Must be your imagination or something, why are you staring at him anyway?”Camila rolled her eyes at the hint of jealousy she heard in his voice, “I am helping you keep an eye on the enemy_,’’“He is not my enemy,” Keith said earnestly.Camila looked at him with a frown, and an expectant look on her face as if expecting Keith to crack into a smile and tell her he was just kidding. “Oh, and so he is a friend then?”Keith shook his head, “Nope, not a friend either.”Camila scoffed, “Whoever isn't a friend is an enemy then.”Keith shook his head once more and a small mocking smile, “No, Cherry that is not how it works. Whoever is not a friend is not an enemy either, he or she is just nothing.”“So Abraham Connor is nothing then?” She asked, staring incredulously at him, her mouth twitching and it looked like she was struggling really hard to not la

“What's the talk about your money when your boyfriend has more than enough for both of you?” Her father quizzed, sounding truly curious.Sheila opened her mouth to speak when the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open, her eyes widened a bit but they immediately narrowed into a frown as she watched the three busybody bitches from earlier stepped into the restroom. Their eyes also widened when they spotted her and Sheila did not miss the way the short one flinched and took a step back when she saw her, but they still stepped in properly and shut the door behind them.“Sheila?” Her father's questioning voice echoed through the now dead silent restroom.Sheila scoffed, “I will call you back,” without waiting for a reply she hung up, and then turned her attention back to the three fools with a sinister smirk finding its way to her lips.“Oh, look who we have here,” the tallest amongst the group of women said with a small smirk, although her eyes kept wandering barely able to meet Sheila's

The crowded ballroom buzzed with anticipation as the auctioneer took the stage once again. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the most highly anticipated auction of the year,” he reintroduced the event once again with a booming voice and wild smile. "And now the moment we've all been waiting for.”Abraham forced his gaze off the Auctioneer as he felt a presence beside him, he looked beside him to find Sheila settling back to her seat. His eyes did not miss the sight of her bruised knuckles, he kept his face in moderation despite his curiosity to know what had taken her so long and what trouble she must have gotten herself into.“You almost spent forever in the restroom, everything alright?” Abraham quizzed, refusing to show that he was truly worried. Sheila shrugged, the thought of hiding her bruised knuckles never crossing her mind. “I had something important to deal with and then I placed a call to my home.”Abraham hummed under his breath, “Alright, perfect timing though. The main

“And next on the list tonight is the historical Lighthouse Keepers' Cottage, which has been passed down from generation to generation. It was a tiny, picturesque building perched on a rocky outcropping, and with a breathtaking view of the ocean, and to spice it up, it came with an enticing background story.”Not only did Keith smile with interest but so did Abraham who snickered as he listened.The bidding started at a modest price of five million dollars, but it quickly escalated as the frontiers joined in the bid, “Twenty million!" Keith's bold voice called out from where he was seated."Thirty million!" Of course, it had been Abraham who had spoken up, he glanced beside him to where Keith was seated and then smirked, his eyes glittering with challenge before he moved his eyes to the podium. “Forty million,” Keith wasted no time to counter him. The auctioneer's gavel fell, and the crowd erupted in whispers as the bids went flying back and forth like a ping-pong match. The room wa

“Here is our beauty,”The crowds were all coos as they took in the sight of the magnificent jewelry set and Sheila was dying inside to wear it already.Keith admired the fine piece of jewelry and leaned closer to Camila, “Do you like it?”Camila nodded almost immediately, “What do you think of the jewelry?”Keith smirked, “Well I think it would look exceptionally good on your creamy and juicy-looking neck and since my cherry wants this necklace then she would be getting it.”Abraham had caught on to the conversation between the couple, he had no idea what they were saying but he knew from the smile on Keith's girlfriend's face that she wanted it and Keith was going to get it for her. Well, at least Keith had someone worth it to get the necklace for, unlike the person seated beside him. He glanced at Sheila noting the glitter of want in her eyes, an obvious hint that she was dying to have it. He sighed, it had not been his intention to get Sheila anything throughout the event because h

Without a moment's hesitation, Keith countered, "Two hundred million pounds."For a heartbeat, time seemed to stand still. The air thickened with anticipation as all eyes turned to Abraham Connor. Would he yield to this audacious challenge? Could he justify surpassing even his limits?In that pregnant pause, Abraham Connor surveyed the room with his eyes glittering with shrewd decisions and unwavering determination. Despite the calmness in his resolve, he did not attempt to raise his paddle this time.Bobby's eyes moved from Abraham's still hands and nodded, “Two hundred million pounds, going once, twice_,” he paused intentionally looking back to Abraham confirming that he was not raising his hand anymore, “Sold, to the fine gentleman at the frontier, and at the price of Two hundred million pounds,” Bobby announced, his voice resonating through the hall like a gauntlet thrown. The auctioneer’s gavel came down with a decisive crack, sealing the fate of 'Eternal Dawn' and echoing the cu

Camila's brows raised as she glanced in Abraham's direction, she caught a glimpse of interest in his eyes but instantly felt revolted, and decided she didn't want to engage him, “A hundred and fifty.”…The after-party was in full swing, with champagne flowing and deals being made. The winners were congratulated, and the losers were already planning their next move. Abraham Connor stood at the far end of the private bar drowning his glass of wine with a sour look on his face. He could not believe he let his guard down and let himself get humiliated, all because of some woman who had such a striking resemblance with his mother. Although not physically but personality they were almost alike. The part when Camila had pulled the thumbs up stunt, he could remember clearly his mother doing something so similar to that except hers was not a thumbs up, and instead, her mother had been holding up a fuck you finger. He then let himself get distracted and controlled by his sentiments which had

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

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.

"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
