“How long have you been standing there?” Keith asked, pausing what he was doing to give her his undivided attention. She simply just shrugged, sitting down opposite him.“Like 30 minutes,” she replied as he chuckled softly.“You've been standing there for 30 minutes and you didn't bother to come in or say hello. Was I that handsome that you were in a trance?” He asked teasingly as Camila rolled her eyes smiling at him.“You look tired and stressed. Are you sure you're going to be okay?” Camila asked, worriedly as Keith looked at her nodded.“I will be okay. I just need to finish some of these projects,” Keith said, looking at the documents on the table. Camila curiously took a peek at the documents.“I thought you were only working on the Anderson project?” She asked as he looked at her.“No,” he said, stressing his word. “I have other projects I'm working on. I wish to not waste any time. Immediately I secure the Anderson project, I'll go after these. Their location is good for busin

Thanking him for being around her daughter. She showed so much attitude that Max didn't know how to dismiss the lady. They exchange numbers and she kindly asked Max to send a picture of her daughter at the ball. While she was lost in her thoughts, her phone pinged. She quickly rushed to check if it was Max and indeed it was him. She gasped, marvelled at what she saw. Her daughter was so beautiful. She couldn't believe she wasn't near her daughter to dress her up like the princess she was but she was a little grateful. Sheila looked stunning. She ran her fingers across her daughter's picture, looking at it with longing and then she was reminded about her time with young Sheila. It was truly remarkable. Sheila would always cling to her for everything but now her daughter couldn't even hug her. It was as if she was a pain in her daughter's life and she sighed detestfully.“What is making you sigh?” Mr Hockings said at her back, making her jump. She turned around happily going to meet hi

The party started and Sheila was already feeling bored. She didn't want to be here. She could use a little bit of shopping and going to her favorite restaurant but no, she had to spend it here. It was more of a business meeting than a party. She joined the women thinking it would have been better than standing idle, but the women were the worst. They talked about nothing important other than who's the richest man, how much gift he could afford to get for them and who is more hot and sexy between the men. She groaned inwardly as she felt disgusted. “Are all the women like this? Shameless and out of character,” she thought as she zoned them out, looking around the party. She noticed that the people who attended Abraham's party were not just ordinary people. They were people who screamed money, wealth and power. They were not people to be trifled with. Each of them were powerful in their various departments and could destroy the lives of anyone who they seemed fit. “How did Abraham come

Sheila smiled before properly facing the woman.“This bitch asked for it,” Sheila thought to herself. “What's your name again? I think it's joy right?” She asked as the woman smiled victoriously as she gave Sheila the attitude thinking she put Sheila in her place. “I'll give it to her. She's brave,” Sheila thought, giving joy a look over.“Yes, it's joy. You've got something to say?” Joy asked as other women looked keenly to see what was going to happen.“Actually, I do have something to say to you but I'll tell you if you answer this one question for me,” Sheila said as joy became self aware.“W…why? Why should I answer anything you have to ask?” Joy asked as Sheila just smiled sweetly. “After all, it's just a harmless question, right guys?” She asked as other women supported her. She turned to joy smiling. “It's okay. You don't have to answer if you are scared,” Sheila said as joy was seen contemplating if she should answer Sheila.“Do not fall for that sweet smile she's giving you.

“Come on, Miss Hockings. You of all people know that the other competitors have no chance against Corner and Thompson. So, please answer the question,” another man said.“Well, Abraham is a lion. He's the king of this jungle. I don't see anything stopping him from winning. Thompson is just an amateur when it comes to the game. So, with that being said, Abraham would win. If you don't believe me then let's stake your money. Let's have a bet,” Sheila said as the men marveled. Abraham just gave Sheila a nod as she scoffed inwardly. “I'm not on your side. This is to save my head,” she thought.“Miss Hockings, you play bet?” Another man asked.“No, but for Abraham, I'm willing to. So, if you know that Abraham isn't going to win, don't be scared to stake your money,” she said, confidently. “50 million dollars,” she stated as the men looked at her and then Abraham as he laughed.“Guys, don't look at me. You all caused it for yourself,” Abraham said as some men who didn't believe Abraham woul

“So, Mr Corner, what do you think about competing with Keith Thompson? I heard both of you are vying for Anderson's project,” the news personnel asked as Abraham smiled.“Well, to be honest with you, I don't know what to think. Thompson might be talented but he's still an amateur,” Abraham said as the news anchor laughed. “No offense there but you asking me that question is like asking if I can compete with my father. I see myself as a father to Thompson, so if he wins, I'll give him my blessing. After all, losing isn't so bad,” Abraham said as Camila scoffed, while the news anchor gushed.“Truly, like they say. You are truly remarkable and wise. There aren't so many people as mature as you are in the industry. I hope Keith Thompson will be able to learn from you,” she said. Keith was boiling with rage.“Well, it's his choice. We can only take a horse to the river but we can't force it to drink water,” Abraham said, smiling.“What a pretentious man. How dare he?” Camila shouted angril

“I don't think your job is to report anything to Miss Hockings here or follow her around like a lost puppy. Go back to your post which is outside till she needs to go out,” Adam said, referring to Max while ignoring Sheila. Sheila has really had enough of this man. He was disrespectful even with his low social status just because Abraham trusts him and leaves him in charge of his dealings. She just raised her hands and slapped him, making his face turn. Both Adam and Max were shocked. None of them was expecting that. Adam turned to glare at her and she slapped him again before he could even do that and when he forcefully turned to hit her or something, she waved her hand in the air, slapping him so hard that the impact of the slap made him fall on the ground. She didn't wait for him to get back up, she placed her shoe on his chest, pushing him on the ground.“Stay down there,” she commanded, pushing him forcefully as she kicked him by the side. “That's where you belong. You should lea

Abraham came back late in the evening after all the meetings and interviews he had to do. He entered inside as a maid stood by the door to collect his suit jacket. He handed it over to her as he walked to the dining area and at the same time, Sheila was coming down the stairs as she met up with him.“I want that news anchor sued and arrested,” Sheila said, folding her hands as Abraham turned to look at her while pouring himself water from a glass jug.“Good day to you too and thanks for asking,” he said, walking to the sitting room to take a seat while Sheila rolled her eyes, following him.“Did you hear what I said?” She asked, following him as sat down.“Loud and clear but why I'm I sueing her? What did she do exactly?” Abraham asked as Sheila scoffed, shocked that Abraham could ask that.“She was doing an interview with you but what I don't understand is why my name was there. What was she playing at? She doesn't have any right to ask such questions about me,” Sheila said as Abraha

"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
