“Is that so? Mind explaining yourself,” Abraham sat down comfortably so that he could listen to what Sheila had to say.“I mean, look at Mr Obadi now. You promised to do a little favor for him. I'm not even sure you promised him anything. You might have said you'll try and then that being said has won his heart. I won't be surprised if he promised to repay you or he indebted himself to you. I can believe how weak-minded he is,” Sheila said“So, you were eavesdropping?” Abraham asked plainly as Sheila paused, turning to him.“I didn't actually eavesdrop. I was passing by,” Sheila said, not looking at him as Abraham hummed.“I see,” Abraham said, pouring himself a drink.“So what are you going to do now? Are you going to help him or use him and discard him?” Sheila asked, popping a fruit into her mouth.“That's none of your business. Since you've decided to mind your business, continue to do that. Don't go poking your nose. I'll call you when I need you and I'll tell you what I need you

“And besides, Thompson deserves everything that's happening to him. You don't know how happy I am that he is passing through hell. I need to see him to be content. He deserves it for what he did to us. I may hate Abraham but he's helping me do what I couldn't do. God bless him,” Mr Hockings added, going back to what he was reading. Mrs Hockings was shocked at what her husband was saying. She knew her husband could be cruel but not to a child. That child hadn't even set foot into this world and yet it was killed before he or she was able to. She was about to say something when her husband cut her short. “How come I'm hearing this from you and not Sheila? When did you two become close?” Mr Hockings asked with a frown on his face.“Wasn't it part of the plan since Abraham was on her trail?” Mrs Hockings asked as he nodded.“Tell her to come here. I need to know how this amazing plan of hers is going. I can't afford for her to mess things up like last time,” he said as Mrs Hockings scoffe

Keith sighed, walking over to the bed as he sat close to Camila. She took hold of his hands as she rubbed his hands with hers.“Look at you. You couldn't take care of yourself. What would you do without me?” Camila asked as Keith burst into tears.“I'm so sorry, Camila. I failed. I failed you and I failed our child. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you guys. It's all my fault,” Keith cried, resting his head on Camila's chest. “Please forgive me,” he said. Camila was at the verge of crying. Seeing Keith cry so hard made her heartbroken but she held back, sniffling. She needs to get her act together just like Mrs Genevieve said, she needs to be strong for Keith.“It wasn't your fault Keith,” she told him, patting him at the back. Keith raised his head to look at Camila.“I know it's my fault. You don't have to make me feel good. I know it's my fault. You deserve someone else. You don't deserve someone like me who can't protect you,” Keith said as Camila frowned.“I know I'm too good for you

“Keith!” Camila whined.“Please. For my sake,” he pleaded as she sighed. “Okay but I'll have to take my time,” she informed him.“No problem ma'am. You can take all the time that you want,” Keith said as she chuckled while hanging up. “This should be better. A change of scenery should do the trick,” he told himself, dialing a number. “Meet me at Tish. Do not waste my time and be fast.Sheila held the phone next to her ears as she smiled from ear to ear. Her plans were finally coming into place.“I'll be there,” she said, ending the call. She turned back, picked up her purse and headed for the door.“Where are you going?” Abraham asked her.“Going out for lunch,” she said as he looked at her warily.“Well, there's no need for you to go out for lunch when you can have lunch here and have you forgotten we have company?” He asked her as Sheila rolled her eyes.“Come on Abraham. You know how bored I would be and I know that you and your friends do not want me here. These are your cult mem

Mr Hockings wasn't happy with what his daughter said. That wasn't what he was expecting to hear from her.“At least, she's working towards the plan. We should be happy?” Mrs Hockings said, trying to lessen the tension that was about to form.“There's nothing to be happy about. We need to be fast as soon as possible,” Mr Hockings grumbled, standing up and going to his room.“It seems you've begun to learn how to handle him. Dad can be a pain if he chooses to,” Sheila said, smiling at her mother.“Well, nothing a little practice can't handle,” Mrs Hockings as they both laughed. “I cooked. Would you like to eat some?” Mrs Hockings asked with the hope that her daughter would eat.“I'm sorry mother. I can't. Maybe next time,” Sheila said, carrying her bag.“Oh! It's fine. Next time is okay,” Mrs Hockings said, feeling sad as Sheila paused.“On the bright side, I have never tasted your cooking mum. How about you put something for me. I would be delighted to eat the food prepared by my mothe

Next morning, Keith woke up to an empty bed. There was no sign of Camila. The space she slept in was cold which meant that she had left a very long time ago. He couldn't believe he slept off and that too for a very long time. He checked the time and it was already afternoon. Exhaustion could really do that to you. He was really exhausted. While he was still in his thoughts, his phone rang. He checked the caller and was shocked at who called him.Camila arrived at Abraham Corner's house. She forcefully entered inside even when the security guard asked her not to. She barged in.“I'm sorry sir. I tried stopping her but she wouldn't listen,” he said.“It's okay. I can handle this,” Abraham said looking at an angry Camila. He just smiled.“ Mrs Joffrey, what a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting you. In Fact, I don't think I was ever going to expect you in my house,” Abraham smiled much to Camila's annoyance. Sheila watched everything at the foot of the staircase. She was really disappo

“At least I'm better than you who joined hands with your deranged ex to defeat him,” Camila said.“Well, that was the best thing to do,” Keith said.“Hold on, what's going on? Who joined hands with who?” Mrs Genevieve asked.“Why don't you ask him, Mrs Genevieve?” Camila said, staring at Keith along with Mrs Genevieve.“Did you accept Sheila Hockings offer?” Mrs Genevieve asked.“Yes, I did. I did some research and found out that Abraham Corner is higher than I am in the game. There was no way I was going to defeat him. Why not take on a cunning partner. After all the friends of my enemy are my friends,” Keith said.“But Sheila Hockings is not your friend,” Mrs Genevieve said.“You think I don't know that? I do not trust Sheila Hockings one bit but if that can be the only way to defeat Abraham, then I'm willing to take it,” Keith said, before turning to Camila. “You were really selfish and I hope you're happy with what you've done,” then he walked out.“Mrs Genevieve!” Camila called a

“He agreed. Keith Thompson agreed to partner with me to defeat him,” Sheila said, standing near the window. She was looking outside the window while talking to someone on the phone. “I'm ready. With your help and support, we could bring him down. I'm confident that everything will fall into place. I don't think you know me. When I set my mind on something, I make sure I do it even if it would cost me everything,” Sheila said, talking as she backed the window folding her arms. “Thompson? What about him?” Sheila asked. “I've planned something for him. You didn't think I'd leave him after what he did to my family? I'm simply killing two birds with one stone,” Sheila said, smirking evilly.Keith arrived at the office as his employees stood up to greet him. He nodded at each and everyone one of them, giving them a small smile. He strode to his office with Chris following him.“Did you call your uncle over telling him that I want to see him in my office immediately?” Keith asked, removing h

"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. Dressed sharply, he carries an air of confidence des

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. Costumes check, the guys who would keep watch, check and what again?” Smart asked as Riley came in.“Your ears and eyes, check,” Riley said.“W

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. Vincenzo and I,” Sheila said, resting her back on the chair. 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
