“So, are we meeting Sheila today? I'm already sick of seeing her face,” Camila said, placing her hand on her jaw. Keith entered the office with Mrs Genevieve folding her arms. She wasn't smiling at all. He was folding the wrist of his shirt.“Why the long face Mrs Genevieve?” He asked as Camila turned to Mrs Genevieve.“I am really dreading that woman's face. I'm sick of her already,” Mrs Genevieve said as Keith chuckled.“Well, the Lord has heard your prayers. She isn't coming,” Keith said as Camila rolled her eyes.“She can't even keep business protocol. She's supposed to be here but she's bailing on us,” Camila said with disgust.“What a despicable woman,” Mrs Genevieve said as Keith just looked at the two women. They really had a lot in common.“Well, that's not the reason she's not here,” Keith said.“Then please tell us the reason she's not here and do not start defending her,” Mrs Genevieve.“He won't try it,” Camila said, glaring at Keith who just smiled nervously.“Abraham go

“You're going for Anderson's project?” She asked as he sighed.“What happened to not saying a word?” He asked as she shrugged.“Just got curious,” Sheila said as Abraham rolled his eyes.“Haven't you heard the saying that curiosity kills the cat?” Abraham asked as Sheila smiled.“Well, this cat can't die easily and you know why?” She asked, bringing her head closer for a whisper. “Because this cat is smart and not a pushover,” she said smiling, before leaning on the chair. “So, tell me, why the Anderson project? Thompson is going for the project. Did you choose it because of Thompson?” Sheila asked as Abraham smirked.“What do you think?” Abraham asked.“Well, I think you want to spite Thompson and scare him. You want him to be shaken up and make a mistake,” Sheila said as Abraham shrugged.“You can think all you want,” he said, smiling. Abraham didn't give Sheila a direct answer but she knew the man. He could be petty at times. She just looked at him with disgust before putting a smi

“Can you tell me why all these companies are competing for the Anderson project?” She asked as her husband turned to look at the television. He folded his newspaper, keeping it on his lap.“Anderson was a rich and wealthy man before he died. He didn't have anyone to take over his property so some were given to charity but his estate and lands are being sold to the highest bidder. Whoever wins the contract will be a lot richer. That's why every businessman is vying for his properties,” Mr Hockings answered, going back to his reading but Mrs Hockings wasn't done asking her question. Mr Hockings sighed, rolling his eyes. “Ask!” He said, folding his newspaper.“Sorry,” Mrs Hockings smiled sheepishly before asking her question. “Isn't Abraham Corner very rich and wealthy? I don't think he needs the Anderson project. He was way richer than Anderson from what I gathered. Why does he want it?” Mrs Hockings asked. “Simple. Thompson wants it,” Mr Hockings said simply as Mrs Hockings made an O

“What do you think about all that is going on?” Mr Kevin asked Mrs Genevieve during a game of chess.“What do you mean? If you're talking about this game, forget it. I'm going to destroy you,” Mrs Genevieve said as Mr Kevin rolled his eyes smiling.“I know you've been planning on that but I'm talking about Keith and Abraham Corner,” he said as Mrs Genevieve threw him a glare. “What?” He asked, with a smiling face.“Did you really have to call that name here when I'm in a good mood? Are you trying to make me angry?” Mrs Genevieve asked.“Well, I was curious and I also called Keith,” Mr Kevin said as she rolled her eyes.“Whatever. What do you want to know?” Mrs Genevieve asked, folding her arms.“Who do you think is going to win the battle for Anderson's project?” Mr Kevin asked.“Abraham is really a good and dangerous opponent but I'm sure Keith will win,” Mrs Genevieve said with all seriousness. “What do you think?” She asked Mr Kevin.“I really do not think Keith would stand a chanc

“What's your name?” She asked.“Max,” he answered.“Max,” Sheila called. “Did you check the car?” She asked as he nodded.“Yes ma'am. The car isn't bugged. Where would you like to go ma'am? Max said, looking at Sheila through the rear window.“Abraham has eyes on me. For now, let's go shopping. I don't want to make a mistake in hesitation. We'll have to wait till he unground me,” Sheila said.“Copy that ma'am,” Max said with enthusiasm.“And, you have to act like you don't know me and that you don't like me. Abraham would want you to report me to him. So you have to act the part,” Sheila told him.“You don't have to worry ma'am. Boss has briefed me on everything,” Max said, smiling.“You smile too much. It's making me sick,” Sheila said, leaning her back on the seat as she closed her eyes, lost in her thoughts.“Sorry ma'am,” Max said but Sheila was too far lost in her thoughts to even listen.Sheila arrived at the shopping mall, going through some clothes when the attendant came to h

Look who we found here. If it isn't the two disrespectful women,” Sheila and Camila turned to see those three disgusting women from the auction as they both scoffed together.“You've got to be kidding me,” they both said in unison as they turned to each other, glaring at each other before turning to those women.“You want another round of beating?” Sheila asked, glaring at the three women.“Oh my! So disrespectful,” the short one said.“Oh, you three were even beaten and I was close to doing the same thing,” Camila said, folding her arms.“Such disrespectful young women. I suppose you two weren't taught how to be respectful,” the tall one said.“Scram!” Sheila snapped, making the three women jump.“No wonder you three don't have husbands. Three disgusting women,” Camila said with a smirk as they gasped.“I'm having a headache just staring at this foolish women,” Sheila said, walking out as Camila looked at the women, not smiling anymore.The women began to shiver under her gaze“Get lo

FLASHBACKS“I'm so sorry I haven't been able to call. Well, he became suspicious. He seized my phone and grounded me. No, you don't have to be worried. I am safe and I know how to take care of myself. I do not need saving,” Sheila said, rolling her eyes at what the person from the other side said. “I am okay but I have something to tell you,” she said, sighing. “Well, he's going for the Anderson project. No, I won't tell Thompson anything. He wants to deal with Abraham himself, then let him do that. He's going to regret pushing me aside. I won't take it easy on him. No, I haven't told my parents anything yet. I plan to do that very soon. I wouldn't want them spoiling my plans just because they didn't know. My mom almost did that. I also want you to do something for me,” Sheila said as she continued to talk with the person on the phone. She paused, waiting for what he was going to say. She gave a sigh of relief when he asked her what she wanted to ask. “I need you to recommend a bodygu

“Sheila, can you tell us who the person who helped you is and your supposed partner?” Mr Hockings asked as Sheila looked at her mother and Max before sighing. She stood up for not knowing how she would break the news to her dad.“I guess it's now or never,” Sheila said, standing in front of her parents. “Dad, mum, I can't tell you two who the person helping me is because it is supposed to be confidential. He doesn't want to be revealed but I can tell you guys who my partner is,” Sheila said.“Okay. Go on. Tell us who this partner of yours is,” Mr Hockings said.“You all know him very well,” Sheila paused for a second. Her dad was about to respond when she threw the bomb. “It's Keith Thompson,” she announced as the world went still.“What?” Her father shouted. Mrs Hockings panicked. She knew her husband was going to lose it.“Hear me out dad,” Sheila said, raising her two hands up to stop her father from getting up. She knew it was going to be war if he stood up. Max just stood there w

"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
