Keith arrived at the office going straight to the meeting room. He entered inside as they all stood up to greet him.“Well thank you,” he said, sitting down. “You all should sit down. We don't have time. We need to be done with this so that we can start with the main work. Is that alright?” Keith asked.“Yes sir!” They all chorused as Keith nodded.“Very well then. Let's begin. Anybody has any idea if we've got calls on potential investors?” He asked, looking at the file which was placed in front of him. “This should be interesting,” he said to himself as what was on his table caught his attention.“Sir!” A lady called, raising her hand.“Yes, go on. This should be an interactive meeting. Everyone's opinion matters. We need to make good cash and make sure our business goes higher and spreads wider,” Keith announced getting his workers engaged.Camila entered her office to see her secretary waiting for her.“Good morning boss,” she greeted.“What's up, B? You've got anything for me?” C

“That's by the way. I wanted to ask how Keith was doing but I think I already have an idea. What's he using as a coping mechanism?” Mrs Hockings asked.“Well, he's got a big project coming his way. So, he's buried himself in it. I think it's good for him and after the big motivational speech your daughter gave, I think it helped him though,” Camila said as Mrs Hockings became surprised.“I think you got the wrong daughter because the Sheila I know is no motivational speaker,” Mrs Hockings said.“You'll be shocked if you were there,” Camila said.“I noticed there's been a change in her. I just hope it continues for the best,” Mrs Hockings said. Camila was about to comment when her phone rang.“Excuse me. I'll take this,” she said.“Go ahead,” Mrs Hockings said, drinking her juice when Camila picked the call.“Hello Gracie! What's up?” Camila asked.“No, I'm not in the office. Is there a problem?” Camila asked as Mrs Hockings looked at her. She nodded her head to tell Mrs Hockings that

“I beg your pardon,” Adam said as Sheila was so quick to reply.“Oh please don't. It would be embarrassing if you do,” she said, smiling, placing a piece of her hair at the back of her ear. “But I'll save you the trouble since I don't feel like talking to you anyway. Why is Abraham throwing a party? What's the occasion?” Sheila asked as Adam laughed. Sheila looked at the man as he laughed with a smile on her face.“Looks like you're not so cool after all,” Adam said.“And what do you mean by that?” Sheila asked.“It seems he doesn't tell you anything either. At least, I'm better than you. It looks like he still keeps you in the dark about everything. I guess I'm still more important than you always will be,” Adam said mockingly. Sheila scoffed softly, looking at Adam.“I really do pity you. Seriously, I do,” she said, giving him a mocking pitiful smile. “Well let me ease you from your worries. This is what Abraham told me and I quote, “when Adam comes, he'll tell you everything and gi

Sheila finished making the call as she hid her phone. She opened the door to see Adam standing there. She just sighed, looking at him while placing her hands on his waist.“Do you need something?” Sheila asked.“No. Just wanted to know if you needed something,” Adam said as Sheila scoffed.“Need something? Boy, if I needed something, Do you think I would have come to you? Why don't you piss off and don't forget to stay away from my sight. Seeing you could make me want to actually murder you and it's not something I think both of us would want,” Sheila said with a smile on her face as Adam nodded, leaving but he paused looking back and Sheila was ready for whatever he was going to say.“You know what, I would very much like to speak my mind,” Adam said.“Okay, please don't hold back on my account. I would very much like to hear what you have to say,” Sheila said with a smile on her face.“You think Abraham wants you or even likes you?” Adam asked as Sheila hummed. “You're nothing to hi

Abraham tossed his phone on the seat of the car as he looked out of the window. Opposite him was Sheila in the cafe, sitting down with none other than his archenemies.“Drive the car. We're going home,” Abraham commanded as Adams smiled from where he sat.“This is going to be fun,” he thought.Sheila went straight home after she was done with whatever she was doing. She went straight to her room to see the door opened. She wondered who opened her door when she went inside to see Abraham sitting on her chair and his guards were searching her room and Adam stood at the back of Abraham giving her a smile that said he won this time. Sheila just sighed, not actually prepared for whatever is going to happen.“What is going on here?” She asked, looking straight at Abraham.“Well, Adam here told me that he thinks you have a spare phone you are using,” Abraham said as Sheila looked at Adam.“Well, isn't he a fool as always?” Sheikh asked, turning her attention to Abraham. “So, did you find any

Keith had just finished work and was packing his stuff to go home when Chris came in.“Good evening boss,” he greeted.“What's up, Chris? Anything for me?” Keith asked, looking for something.“There's an envelope for you. It looks more like an invitation card to me,” Chris said, looking at the card. When Keith heard that, he looked at Chris then at the invitation card before rolling his eyes.“That's because it's an invitation card. Just drop it on the table and leave,” Keith said, as Chris did as he was told. Keith went back to what he was looking for. Just as Chris left, Camila came in.“Hello handsome! Ready to go?” She asked, smiling as her eyes landed on the invitation card. “They've sent the invitation card already?” She asked with a sigh.“Look, if you don't want to go, then we won't. I'm not particularly happy to go to that stupid party of his,” Keith said as Camila smiled.“Yeah, I know but we have to go. Now, we have to do things that we don't want to do if we're going to ca

“Are you trying to say you're going to insult me?” The woman asked.“Is that how it sounded because I don't know,” Sheila said, then shrugged before turning to the men with a happy cheer. “Okay handsome gentlemen. I need to go eat. I'm still sleepy and still in my hunger phase. By the time I've eaten and gone back to sleep, I might forget that you all came here,” Sheila said as the men laughed. Sheila was leaving when the woman called her. She paused but didn't turn.“Let's meet again some other time,” she said as Sheila smirked, looking back.“Sure we might but don't be surprised if I don't acknowledge you,” Sheila said as the woman kept an annoyed face.“Meaning?” She asked as Sheila shrugged.“I mean, you're not the type of person I roll with,” then she left. The lady clenched her fists angry at how she was insulted. Mr Loveday gave a nervous laugh.“Maria Henson was just given a smackdown,” Frank said whistling as Mr Loveday nudged him.“Do you have a death wish?” Maria asked as F

“So, how's the project you're working on going?” Camila asked.“I know what you're trying to do and I appreciate it but I'm okay. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine,” Keith said, holding her two hands.“How can I not worry about you? When you get like this, it makes me sad,” Camila said as Keith smiled.“My project is moving great. I've gotten so many potential investors and I'll be throwing a meeting with them very soon. It's going to be spectaculous,” Keith said as Camila smiled.“You look hot,” Camila blurted out, shocking Keith.“Whoa! Where's that coming from?” He asked, amused.“I don't know. I find you attractive now,” Camila said, shrugging.“Only now? What about before?” Keith asked.“I've always found you hot but today is looking different. How about we have one for the road?” Camila asked, giving Keith a mischievous glint.“Your wishes are my command,” he said as Camila chuckled.“Good morning ma'am. How may we be of service?” A sales attendant came, smiling at Sheila. Shei

"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
