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

    “Okay, let's hear your side of the story and it better be good or else you won't know what you're entering,” Abraham threatened as Max swallowed.“No problem,” he shrugged, looking at Adam before he continued. “I wasn't doing any of the stuff he said I was doing,” Max said as Adam scoffed.“Really? So, you want to say that I am lying?” Adam asked as Max sighed, looking at nothing in particular before turning to Adam.“Hey, you've said what you had to say and I didn't interrupt, so please can I finish?” Max asked.“Yes, you can finish,” Adam said, begrudgingly.“Good, thank you,” then he turned to Abraham. “I wasn't selling or giving out information like he stated. She saw the news this morning and just asked when you had the time to go out for the interview and I was near, so I answered. My one job has always been Sheila Hockings. I've been asked to monitor her and bring in information about anything she does and we all know that Sheila Hockings is tough. If we do it the way you want,

    “I know what Abraham Corner is trying to do. He's trying to upset me so badly that I do something bad but that's not going to happen. I'll win and I'll make sure to get my revenge on him. He shouldn't worry. I'll definitely catch up with him,” Keith said calmly as he sat on his .“So, what are you planning on doing?” Camila asked.“Tomorrow is the final day. It's the day I've been waiting for,” Keith said, looking at Mr Kevin. “Set up a conference meeting. I can change everything around with just one statement,” Keith said as Mrs Genevieve and Camila looked at each other before looking at Keith.“Do you think a conference meeting will do?” Mrs Genevieve asked as Keith nodded.“It has to do for now. Till I win the Anderson project,” Keith said as Camila nodded, looking at Mr Kevin.“Okay Mr Kevin. Let's do this. Set up a conference meeting,” she said as Mr Kevin smiled.“Okay. Roger that,” Mr Kevin said as he left.“We would surely put this Abraham of a man in his place,” Mrs Geneviev

    Keith arrived at his house and went straight to his room. He removed his suit jacket, throwing it aggressively on the ground as he paced the room. From the look of his hair, it was obvious that his hands had been on his head. He was really stressed out.“Fuck! Fuck!” He shouted angrily as he was also embarrassed as his mind went back to what had happened before. He didn't need anybody to tell him that this was part of Abraham Corner's plan. He set everything up. From the interview, to making him sue Kiki and then the conference. He knew how Keith worked. Keith was so mad as Mrs Genevieve, Mr Kevin and Camila walked in. “Mr Kevin, I want you to do everything in your power to find out who did this. I'm not going to spare the person,” Keith said as Camila felt heartbroken seeing Keith like this.“Yes sir. I will do the best I can. I'll make sure I find out who is responsible for this,” Kevin said as he left, not before giving Mrs Genevieve a slight nod.“Keith!” She called, trying to ho

    “I'm a very confident man. I have nothing to be worried about and if you coming in here would make me forget about the discussion we're supposed to be having, then love you've got it all wrong. It's something I can never forget. I was just trying to figure out ways to punish you,” he said, grabbing his cup and standing up. “One of the things I hate very much is someone disobeying my rules or going against me. No one is allowed to touch my property unless given permission and that love, you did. So, tell me what type of punishment you would prefer to have?” Abraham asked, rounding his table as he stood at Sheila back. Sheila swallowed hard because she didn't know what she was up against. Abraham can be dangerous when he is angry but he's more dangerous when he doesn't show any signs of anger at all. When he's just calm and collected and that was the part of Abraham she was scared of although she didn't show it.“What do you mean by that? I was merely putting him in his place,” Sheila r

    The next morning, Abraham came downstairs just as Adam was coming in.“Good day sir. Ready for today?” He asked.“I can't wait to see the faces of the other people,” he said, adjusting his tie as Max came in.“Good morning sir. I was told I would be your driver,” Max reported as Abraham nodded. “Are you ready yet? He asked.“No, Miss Hockings and I would be going together,” Abraham said as Max nodded, moving aside as Sheila came down. She wore a white jumpsuit and a gray suit jacket on top and then black heels. She used a black scarf to cover her hair and some part of her face as she wore a black glasses just to hide her eyes then she paired it with a black bag. “Good morning to you. Are you ready?” Abraham asked but Sheila ignored him, making Abraham frown. “She is being disrespectful again. I thought she would learn her lesson after yesterday. It looks like I would have to break her to finally use her and if she becomes impossible, I'll just kill her,” Abraham thought. “I'm talking

    Max arrived at the venue for the meeting. Abraham and Sheila came down from the car and at the same time Keith and Camila came down from their own car. They all met at the entrance.“Look who we have here, the losers of the day,” Camila said as Sheila scoffed, rolling her eyes as she went inside. Abraham just smiled at them, giving them a curt nod before entering inside. “What's wrong with Sheila? She looks odd,” Camila noticed but Keith was too hold up in his thoughts to bother.“Don't bother about her. She can take care of herself and she's much of an attention seeker. So forget about her,” Keith said as Camila nodded.“Okay. If you say so,” Camila said as they both entered inside with Camila's eyes wandering around.“Who are you looking for?” Keith asked.“Mrs Genevieve. I'm not seeing her anywhere. She's supposed to be here already,” Camila Saif as Keith chuckled. “What?” She asked him.“Over there,” Keith pointed at a group of men talking and Mrs Genevieve was in their midst. “S

    “Fuck! He said, kicking a chair that was beside him. “Fuck, fuck, fuck!” He exclaimed. “I must be going crazy. This is bad,” he muttered.“Hold on Keith,” Camila said, going through the work Abraham left for them. “This work is good. Abraham hasn't won yet so we can use this. He didn't know what he had. I think he didn't have confidence in his work and that's why he stole ours. We have to use his work against him only if you set your anger and do this right,” Camila said as Mrs Genevieve nodded in agreement.“I think Camila has a point. You need to be calm and collected about this Keith unless that bastard would think he's won,” Mrs Genevieve said as Keith breathed out before nodding his head. He took the work and left. When Camila was sure that he had left, she sighed as her shoulders went low.“I must be going crazy at this rate. I can't even get a single peace in my life and relationship. I really hate that man with everything in me,” Camila cursed out as Mrs Genevieve patted her a

    “I need my phone. The one you seized,” Sheila said as Abraham looked at her.“Well, I thought you'd forgotten about it. I was already starting to wonder if you were using another one since you weren't so bothered about it,” Abraham said, squinting his eyes at her to get any reaction from her. He wanted to know if she was keeping something from her. Sheila scoffed, rolling her eyes.“How would I get a new one when I'm being caged? I was trying to pretend that I didn't care to see if you'll voluntarily give me my phone but it looks like you won. Can I have it back? I can't even catch up with the latest gossip and news because my phone is locked away. I need to know what is happening,”Sheila said.“I'll think about it,” Abraham said, putting his both hands inside his pocket, while Sheila scoffed, not believing what he just told her. It's not like she needed the phone. She just tried to kill any suspicion he was having. Nothing can come her way not even the smallest mistakes. So she has t

    "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.

    “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.

Please remember that all court rules and decorum remain in effect during this time. Court is adjourned."

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.
