Camila shook her head, laughing at herself. Keith immediately joined in on her laughter, scanning her face with an incredulous expression.“Seriously, Camila. It would have taken more than a jewelry set to get me bankrupt, you can be rest assured,” Keith said between his laughter.Camila scoffed, “I do not care about your money, I have more than enough to take care of both of us until we are both old and wrinkled.”Keith caressed the back of her hand with his thumb, a smile spreading over his face. “Old and wrinkled huh?” He wiggled his brows mockingly at her although his eyes shone with content. “I believe I have an idea what your dreams of me involve.”Camila blinked, “And what is that?” “Marriage obviously, first you discussed honeymoon and now you mentioned old and wrinkled, I'm sure your dream is filled with wedding bells and white gowns,” Keith said, taking her hand to his mouth so he could kiss it. Camila raised a brow at him and looked nothing like someone who was going to m

Camila frowned as she stared down at get now blackened phone screen, her brows knitted together in confusion and unsure of what to think of the situation on the ground. At first, she had thought it was a mistake but now it was certain that someone was trying to scare her. This had stated the day she was allegedly been angry with Keith which happened to be yesterday, but then someone_ an anonymous, unregistered number has been calling her at random times and sometimes even at auspicious times, like this time for instance. It was barely six in the morning and it had been the call that had interrupted her deep slumber. The annoying part was that the idiot would call and although using different numbers just for her to pick up give radio silence at the other end until she got frustrated and hung up. But that does not stop this idiot from calling again. Today was the most unbearable, she had finally been able to get some sleep after her whole argument with Keith all thanks to their resolvi

“How about the bodyguards? Haven't you seen any of them?” Keith quizzed despite the more rustling sound.“I am not sure I have seen any of them this morning, I wasn't exactly mindful of them,” she replied.“Good, hang on, and tell your driver to drive safe, I'm on my way, and relax please, everything will be fine.” will be fine.”Camila blinked as the phone beeped signifying that Keith had hung up. The person who was imploring her to relax was the one who was truly panicking, more than her, but she tried to understand his reason for panic and her mind flashed back to the revelation Keith had given when he had told her about what Sheila had said to him and the possibility of the deranged ex conniving with Abraham Connor. The way Abraham Connor's eyes fixed on hers that day of the auction flashed into her mind, she could remember vividly his cold and calculating deep brown eyes that refused to leave her face and how it was so reluctant to leave her face on that day. Maybe the reason for

Once Camila was sure that Keith was now calmer she sighed and spoke up again. “Good, because I have something else to talk about, regarding the call I made this morning.”Keith paused his movement to turn to face Camila with his brow raised in question, “What about the call? It was your tech guy you called, or was it not?” “It was, but it is the reason why I had called him this morning that I want to discuss with you actually,” Camila said, looking around the lobby. “We should sit,” she suggested.Keith's eyes widened and he visibly gulped, “Is it that serious that I cannot stand to receive?” “No, it's just the heels I chose to wear today, they are killing my feet,” Camila groaned out and without waiting for his reply she let go of his hand and began heading for the lobby seat reassured that Keith would come after her.“Seat fast and tell me what happened, all this suspense is driving me almost mad,” Keith said, dropping his weight onto the couch nearest to him.“For some days now,

“How did what I asked you to do go?” Abraham asked curiously with a brow raised at her.Sheila smirked with pride, “It went very well, thank you. I was able to convince the three companies you sent me to.”Abraham raised a brow at her, “Are you sure they truly agreed and they didn't just tell you yes to get you off their backs?” Sheila pouted feigning hurt, “You really should have more faith in me, Abraham. Of course, I wouldn't just leave without being so sure that I have their support, and it was pretty easy to convince the first two groups,” she said with her head raised high and her eyes shimmering with pride, but before she could continue speaking “You seem so certain, maybe I should give you some pride in that,” Abraham said nonchalantly, his eyes moving back to the pile of paper arranged before him.“As I was saying_,” she said ignoring what he had said, “All I needed to do was play on their anger from the auction day. It turns out that many other businessmen held Keith to he

Mrs. Hockings sat on the queen size bed, her gaze on the wall and her mouth curved downwards into a pout, the glow in her eyes almost completely gone as she stared unmoving. Mr. Hockings stepped into the room with his face holding its usual frown and his brows shot up when he noticed his wife's position and sad pout. He took in her surroundings, from the packed boxes beside her to her phone placed on her lap between her hands.“And what is with the long face, woman?” Mr. Hockings asked with his face scrunched up into a frown but one could see the concern deep in his eyes.Mrs. Hockings flinched with surprise at the sound of her husband's voice, she took her gaze to him and eyed him cautiously. She had not even noticed when her husband had come in that was how engrossed she had been with her thoughts. “Honey, I thought you were planning to meet with the lawyer,” she said, eyeing him as he approached the bed to sit beside her, the bed dipped with his weight, and scooted a bit to move cl

Keith adjusted himself properly so that Camila was placed very well on his lap and so that he was also comfortable. Camila snuggled closer to him but her attention did not shift from the phone between her hands, as she tapped swiftly against the screen. “Are you comfortable?” Keith questioned when Camila repositioned herself once again.Camila nodded, finally glancing up at her phone. “Yes, but could you not hug me too tight,” she pouted trying to shove his arm away, “I understand that you miss me but if you squeeze the life out of me now then you would have no one to hug.”Keith rolled his eyes, loosening up his hold around her a bit, “I'd just cuddle your lifeless form out of your then.”Camila frowned, peeping up at him. “That's a twisted thing to say, Keith, eew.”Keith scoffed, “Other women would blush if I gave them a response like that instead of saying I would find someone else to cuddle with.”“Well those are the other women and this is me, you should be thankful that I am n

"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?

"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
