Keith and Camila went out, meeting Mrs Genevieve at a restaurant.“What did you say happened to Camila?” Mrs Genevieve asked, looking at Camila with concern. Camila smiled, shaking her head softly.“It's okay Mrs Genevieve. I'm doing great,” Camila said with a smile.“If Keith isn't taking care of you properly then tell me. I'll pull you out and get you a man who can do the job without hassle,” Mrs Genevieve said, shocking Keith.“Mind what you say Mrs Genevieve. Ask her why she's not well and then, you'll see why you shouldn't blame me about anything,” Keith said huffing as Camila and Mrs Genevieve chuckled.“Okay Camila. Tell me what happened?” Mrs Genevieve asked.“Well, I drank. I think so,” Camila answered as Keith glared at her.“If she's not going to tell you, then I will,” Keith said, sitting up while Camila pinched him.“How can you throw me under the bus like this? You're supposed to hide your partner,” Camila said as Keith scoffed.“I don't see that happening,” Keith answer

“Yes, there isn't. Camila Joffrey, what's your deal with her? I thought you only wanted to sympathize with her because she lost her baby and it was supposed to end there? Why are you still in contact with her?” Mr Hockings asked as Mrs Hockings sighed.“Yes, I was supposed to stop talking to her but she rubbed off on me. She's a really good friend and she understands me well,” Mrs Hockings said.“Well, that's how it starts. She'll pretend that she understands you and then use you to get information about whatever Sheila is doing. They are not to be trusted,” Mr Hockings said.“I don't think Camila is like that. Just listen to me,” Mrs Hockings said as Mr Hockings shook his head.“I'm not in the mood to argue with you. You'll just have to stop associating yourself with her. This is not up for debate,” Mr Hockings said, walking away. Mrs Hockings didn't like what just happened. She sighed, glaring at the direction her husband left.“Isn't karma a bitch? Scared of what you did to others

Sheila finished discussing with the women, getting the information she needed from them then she stood up, going over to where Abraham was.“Having fun?” She asked. “This wasn't so bad, was it? So, does this mean you'll be coming here often?” She asked.“Don't push your luck,” Abraham said, not sparing her a glance.“Believe me, I'm not,” Sheila said, checking her watch. “So, do you feel like going home now?” She asked.“Nope. I think I'll stay here for a while,” Abraham said as Sheila nodded.“Okay. That's good for you. I'll be heading out. Have fun,” she told him as he turned to her.“Where are you going?” He asked as she checked her watch again.“Well, I'm taking my parents out. I got a reservation for them at hotel Casablanca. If you are bothered about how I am going to get there, then don't bother. Max is already here,” Max said as Abraham gave her a heated stare.“How did you contact your parents, book a reservation and also call Max over?” He asked her as she shrugged.“Simple.

“Reservations for the Hockings,” Sheila said to the doorman as he led them to their reserved table. “Thank you,” she said, sitting down. Her father opened her mum's seat for her to sit. This was one of the things she loved about her dad.“What are you looking at?” Her father scolded, sitting down. Sheila rolled her eyes smiling.“Are you still grumpy about coming out? No one would notice you here,” Sheila said.“I hope you're right,” he mumbled.“This place is so beautiful. I love it here Sheila,” Mrs Hockings said, looking around.“Not bad,” Mr Hockings said, folding his arms as Sheila chuckled.“Would it kill you to give a proper compliment dad?” She asked as he shrugged.“How did you find this place?” Mrs Hockings asked as Sheila smiled.“I can see you love this place, mum,” Sheila asked.“Of course, I do. I can't remember the last time I came to such a fanciful restaurant,” Mrs Hockings said as Mr Hockings placed his hands on his laps. He got shaken up by what his wife had just sa

“I love the feel of the water touching my legs,” Camila said, holding Keith's hand as they walked barefooted on the beach.“I know right. This surreal environment feels like home. It's peaceful, like how a home is meant to be,” Keith said, kicking the water with his legs. “After seeing how quiet and peaceful this place is, I don't wish to go back home,” he said, looking at Camila who looked back at him. “How about we run away and leave everything behind. Just the two of us. We'll start a new life, a new identity away from all these people. We'll make a new home with ourselves and maybe our little ones,” Keith said as Camila nodded.“I like the idea and I also like the sound of it. What about Mrs Genevieve?” Camila asked.“Eventually, she'll forgive us. Especially when she sees our kids. It would melt her heart,” Keith answered.“Okay, nice plan but are you really serious about running away?” Camila asked as Keith paused, looking into her eyes.“No,” he said immediately as they both la

“What a view. I could kill just to be here again,” Camila said as she and Keith sat on the hood of the car watching the sunset while drinking and eating.“This is delicious,” Keith said, looking at the beer and steak on his hands as Camila smiled.“I told you, didn't I? They make the best combination,” Camila said, looking at the sunset. “It's beautiful,” she said.“But not as beautiful as you are,” Keith said as she blushed, hitting him on his chest.“Ouch! What was that for?” He asked, rubbing his chest.“No need to flatter me. I already know I'm beautiful and that's why you're deeply in love with me,” Camila said, chuckling while Keith looked at her smiling while still rubbing his chest.“Since you already know, why don't we make memories today?” Keith asked, making Camila confused. Before she could understand what was happening, Keith pushed her in the car, lying on top of her.“What are you doing?” Camila asked, blushing while Keith smiled.“Trying to do right by my beautiful gir

Sheila came back home after going to the spa. She felt refreshed and happy. She made new hair, did her nails, did her facials. She was looking like a whole new person. She was smiling, walking through the doors as the maids greeted her.“Where is Abraham?” She asked, fixing her bracelets properly.“He's in the garden, ma'am. He has visitors,” a maid said as Sheila made a face while the maid left.“Visitors?” She asked herself as she waved it off. “Oh well, I'll go check who the visitors are and then go to my room,” she said to herself, going to the garden. What she saw had not prepared her for anything. Her parents were sitting down next to Abraham and the table was already set.“Hey, she's back,” Abraham said, clapping his hands with a smile on his face. Sheila looked at her parents and then at Abraham. Mrs Hockings picked up her cup, drinking from it. She didn't like the tension. It was too thick. Mr Hockings was angry but he didn't say anything. He just sat there, throwing daggers

“For someone who has nothing, you sure are proud,” Abraham said.“And for someone who thinks he has all the power in the world, you sure are stupid,” Mr Hockings said as Abraham ticked.“Hey, you will show me some respect in my house. I won't allow you to come inside here and insult me,” Abraham shouted.“Who's fault is it? We never asked you to invite us here. I personally wouldn't want to come to this stupid house,” Mr Hockings said.“If I were you, I would know my place. I feed you with my money and I can as well destroy you with it,” Abraham said.“That's enough. Let's stop talking and eat before the food gets cold,” Sheila said as Abraham growled.“Shut up. I do not want to hear your voice till you leave this table,” Abraham ordered her which got Mr Hockings more angry. Sheila folded her fists.“I'll really take pleasure in killing this man,” Sheila thought. Mrs Hockings just looked at Sheila and then Abraham before looking down on her plate. She seemed to be lost in her own thou

"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
