“I don't feel like going in there. How about we turn back and go home. It would be fun with just the two of us,” Keith said as Camila chuckled, shaking her head.

“I don't want to be here either but I don't have a choice,” Camila said.

“Oh, we do have a choice. We can just choose to go back home and be together. Just us,” Keith said, holding her hands.

“Just as that is tempting but we need to be here. Who knows what we can find. We need to do this for ourselves and what are we going to tell Mrs Genevieve if we chicken out? You know she told us to keep an exclusive gist for her,” Camila said.

“Well, I don't see Mrs Genevieve here,” Keith said with a grunt as Camila rolled her eyes.

“You're such a big baby,” she said as Keith narrowed his eyes on her.

“Am I now?” He asked as she nodded, entering inside with Keith following after her. “This is so annoying,” he muttered.

“Invitation card, please?” The security guard at the door asked as Keith showed the card to him. The security guard open

    “Keith Thompson!” The man called as Keith turned to look at the man, while waiting for the waiter to arrange his drinks for him.“Do I know you because I don't think we've met before,” Keith said as the man smiled.“You don't know me but I do know me. I'm Duncan Lancaster and I've heard so many things about you. I must say, it's incredible,” Duncan said as Keith smiled.“I don't know if I should be pleased with what I'm hearing but I'm not interested,” Keith said.“What if I can help you? I know what you seek and I'm a very good friend to keep around,” Duncan said as Keith chuckled.“You'll only be wasting your time. Like I said before, I'm not interested,” Keith said, taking his drinks and leaving. Duncan smiled, ordering a drink for himself. Sheila was talking with some other women who openly showed that they wished they were in her shoes and that they were dating Abraham. She couldn't believe how shameless these women were.“You seem to be having fun,” Sheila turned to see Maria.“

    “Thanks for the update. I'll get back to you shortly,” he said to the lady he was talking to, walking away to join them. “What's going on gentlemen?” Abraham asked, joining the circle as he exchanged glances with Keith.Absolutely nothing, Corner. You've been busy,” a man said as Abraham smiled.“You need to listen to Thompson. He has a business idea and was just sharing it with us. It is superb. I'm planning on investing in this business of his,” another man said as Abraham looked at Keith with a smile. Keith knew that the smile Abraham was putting on was fake. “Is that so? Let's hear about this business idea of yours,” Abraham said as Keith smiled.“It's not that huge. How about we forget about it and talk about something else,” Keith said, looking at Abraham.“Nonsense. Thompson, this is Abraham Corner. He's one of the richest tycoons around. Let him in on your business ideas and who knows, he might be one of your biggest investors,” the third man said as Keith smiled nervously.“

    “Look what the cat dragged in here,” Abraham said, walking in before Camila could move. When she heard Abraham's voice, her heart began to thump so hard. She couldn't let him see how nervous she was so she put up a front.“Shocked?” Camila asked, looking straight at him.“Shocked, no but surprised, yes. I could sue you for entering my office without permission in an attempt to steal,” Abraham said as Camila smiled.“Why? Are you scared that I'll find something I'm not allowed to see which would implicate you?” Camila asked, duntily as Abraham scoffed.“That's going to be far from it. I'm just afraid that you might not make it out alive and I'll have extra work to be able to kill Thompson so it doesn't get out because you see I'm in a good mood. If I end up getting angry and doing such things, I'll have to wipe out everyone that's dear to you,” Abraham said as Camila gulped. She was getting really scared but there's no way she was going to show it.“Such aggressiveness. Why don't you l

    After the party ended, the maids began to clean the house. Sheila walked past them, heading to Abraham's direction.“What happened?” Why did Thompson and his bitch leave so abruptly?” She asked, folding her arms. Abraham just shrugged, going through his phone.“Did you know about Thompson's new project which he's pursuing?” Abraham asked as Sheila feigned ignorance.“How would I know?” She asked him as Abraham nodded. “Well you don't need to know because it won't last long,” Abraham said, standing up.“What do you mean by it won't last long?” Sheila asked.“Just as you've heard it,” he said as he left. Sheila stood where she was, thinking about what's going through Abraham's mind as she walked straight to her room.Camila texted someone on her phone. When she heard Keith coming in, she turned off her phone, setting it on her bedside table as she went under the duvet.“You okay?” Keith asked her as she nodded.“I just sent a text message to Sheila. Let's just hope she gets it,” Camila

    Camila woke up to the sound of her phone ringing.“Babe, turn it off,” Keith said groggily.“Sorry,” Camila said, picking her phone up as she tapped Keith. “You have to go to the office. You don't want to be late,” she said.“Just ten minutes,” he muttered as she smiled, leaving the room. She checked who called her and saw that it was Agnes. She called her back while entering the kitchen. She grabbed a cup, while making coffee for herself. “Hey Agnes. Good morning,” she greeted.“Good morning. I hope I didn't wake you up so early?” Mrs Hockings asked.“Even if you didn't call, my alarm would have done it but you did it earlier, giving me time to clear my head and all that,” Camila said, sipping her coffee.“Are you okay? We heard what happened,” Mrs Hockings said.“We?” Camila asked, unsure if she heard correctly.“Well, my husband and I but he's mostly worried about his daughter although that's not why I called. Are you okay?” She asked again as Camila sighed.“I want to be angry, I

    “So, you're telling me that you were caught on camera?” Mrs Genevieve asked, pacing while taking in what Keith and Camila just told her. “Will things ever get better? I'm already getting tired,” she muttered along with a sign.“I must say, you're astounding. I didn't beg you for someone who could snoop around people's things and now you're caught on camera and this camera belongs to none other than Abraham Corner which means you might be convicted and if you're not by this time, then he has a bigger plan for you guys,” Smart said. “Why didn't you guys send Sheila to snoop around. She's quite smart and intelligent for the job,” he added as Camila glared at him.“I find that statement of yours very offensive,” Camila said as Smart shrugged.“I think Smart is right,” Mrs Genevieve said as all three eyes were looking at her but she was looking at Smart, not knowing what was happening. “I mean Sheila is a criminal. So she must already be perfect when committing criminal acts, right?” She a

    Keith arrived at the venue where the meeting was to take place. He saw Chris organizing some things.“Is everyone here?” Keith asked as Chris nodded.“Yes sir. They are more than I anticipated,” Chris reported.“The more the investors, the more we get the work done fast,” Keith said, fixing his suit. He wanted everything to go as fast as possible so that Abraham couldn't do any harm. “Okay, why don't you go announce my entry,” Keith said as Chris went back on stage, testing the mic to see if it was okay.“ Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?” He said as the hall became quiet. “Thank you,” he said with a nod. “It is my great pleasure to introduce Keith Thompson, the visionary entrepreneur behind Thompson inc. Please, join me in welcoming him as he shares his innovative ideas and plans for the future. Let's give a warm welcome!” Chris said as Keith stepped forward as they applauded for him.

    “So, that would be all for the questions. I hope you all understood everything that was said here because we would be moving to the next step on the agenda,” Keith said as no one said anything. He stepped down as Chris came up. While Chris was addressing the investors, Keith's phone rang. He saw that it was from Camila. He excused himself, leaving the hall to pick her call.“Hi!” Keith said, placing the phone in his ears.“Hey, how is it going? Is everything going smoothly?” Camila asked.“So far it is. They're understanding and it's going well without a hassle. How is your day going? Are you okay?” Keith asked as Camila chuckled. He smiled happy to see she was okay.“Surprisingly, I'm having fun. I'll leave you now. Tell me everything when you come home. Will you be late?” She asked as Keith checked his watch.“I might be. Any problem?” Keith asked.“I wanted to know if I should order or cook something for you but I'll cook but I'm not up to it, I'll order,” Camila said as Keith smil

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

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.

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?
