“So, what's the gist?” Sheila asked.“I was planning on opening my own bakery and so I was discussing it with your father. I wanted his support so that I can start,” Mrs Hockings informed her mother as Sheila was happy.“I'm really happy for you mother. I totally support you. If you need money to start this great business of yours, I can surely support you,” Sheila said happily as her both parents looked at each other then at her. She didn't miss that. “What's the problem? Did I say anything wrong?” She asked.“Well, you didn't say anything wrong. It's just that the main reason I'm starting this business is because I don't want you giving us anything that has to do with Abraham Corner. We want to be able to earn ours without being insulted by him,” Mrs Hockings said as Sheila sighed, looking at her parents.“I guess you're right. So, how are you planning to get the money to start this business of yours?” Sheila asked as Mrs Hockings smiled nervously. Mr Hockings and his daughter looke

“I wasn't trying to annoy you neither was I trying to seem less concerned about the fact that you're pregnant. I was just taking it all in. You just sprang that up on me and I didn't know how to react. Why would you even think that?” Keith asked softly.“Because we lost our first child,” Camila said sniffing. “And Abraham is still out there and I… I don't know what to do. I'm so confused,” Camila said as Keith hugged her. He rubbed her back patting her before putting her at arm's length.“Hey, please look at me,” he said but she wasn't looking. “Look at me Camila,” he said as she raised up her head to look at him. “I'm not bothered about us losing our first child. I'm worried but I won’t allow it to affect this one and you shouldn't either,” Keith said, making sure she was looking at him. “We'll have this baby and we're going to give it all that love it deserves. And don't bother about Abraham. We'll deal with him. You have me, Mrs Genevieve and so many other people who love you and I

Sheila went home slightly drunk to Abraham waiting patiently for her.“Hey you! What are you doing here? I hope you weren't waiting for me because I don't need it. I can take care of myself,” she said as Abraham glared at her.“You're drunk,” he said as she scoffed.“I'm not drunk. I'm perfectly sober,” she said, trying to go up the stairs as Abraham nodded.“Since you're perfectly sober, how about you explain to me why you were laughing with Keith Thompson,” Abraham asked, folding his hands.“I don't know what you saw but I won’t tolerate you spying on me. If you want to ask anything, you come to me directly,” Sheila said as Abraham gave an evil smirk.“You don't tell me what to do. I won't tolerate it,” Abraham said, standing properly as Sheila gulped but she never showed how scared she was.“Whatever you saw was just a woman grieving. If your spy is competent, he or she would have seen that I was alone till he came along. I was only grieving,” she said as he scoffed.“What bullshit

“What a business minded man. He really knows his dough,” Camila said as Keith groaned.“Are we here to sing his praises,” he snapped as everyone kept mute. He sighed, going back to reading the paper.“Looks like someone is jealous,” Mrs Genevieve muttered but Keith heard her loud and clear. He turned, giving her a piercing glare as she cleared her throat. “Where were we again?” She asked, looking into the document which was handed to her. Smart just chuckled. His mother can be a lot of things. “He sold sponsorship rights to businesses that want to brand certain areas of the park or events hosted,” she read out.“That's huge,” Smart said as Keith nodded.“He developed recreational facilities like investing in amenities such as sports courts, playgrounds, fitness areas that can be used for classes and events, potentially generating additional income through fees,” Camila informed them. “He also Incorporated eco-friendly practices and educational programs that attract school groups and f

“Do you need anything, Chris? We've seen the news, now you can go,” she told him.“But that isn't all ma'am. The news anchor is still saying something,” he told them.“What the heck does she want to say again?” Camila snapped, getting angry.“How about we sue these news anchors? They always bite more than they can chew,” Mrs Genevieve stated, going to sit down.“Good evening, everyone. In today’s business news, we’re turning our attention to a prominent billionaire businessman, Keith Thompson, who has launched an ambitious new housing project. This venture aims to attract substantial investment from both private and institutional investors, promising a range of luxurious properties designed to meet the growing demand for high-end housing. However, as we’ve seen in the past, large-scale real estate projects can sometimes face unexpected challenges. Investors and homeowners alike will be watching closely to see how this project unfolds. Let’s hope this isn't another failed attempt and t

“I'm sorry. Didn't mean to be disrespectful but I was asked to be your bodyguard. You aren't allowed to leave the house without one,” John stated as she hummed.“Is that so?” She asked, smiling. “Who the fuck asked you to do that?” She asked.“You know who?” John said smiling as Sheila smiled back while giving him a piercing glare.“This must be funny to you,” she said, chuckling while John just looked at her. “You're really enjoying this,” she said, sucking her teeth while thinking about what to do. “Max!” She shouted as Max came running.“Yes ma'am,” he answered, while throwing his head at John as a sign of acknowledgement. “You called,” he said, facing Sheila.“I'll be going out, and so you'll be coming with me after all, I need a bodyguard,” she said, looking at John with a smirk on her face. The smile on John's face wiped off.“But ma'am, I was asked to follow you and not him. I'll be disobeying orders,” John said as Sheila smirked.“Well, who knows? All I know is that a bodyguar

“I'm so sorry Agnes. I forgot to check the caller. I was so engrossed in work that it slipped my mind,” Camila said as Mrs Hockings chuckled.“It's okay. You really don't need to explain. I shouldn't have called by this time. I didn't think it through. Sorry for distracting you,” Mrs Hockings said as Camila shook her head.“No, it's okay. I wasn't really that busy,” Camila said as Mrs Hockings said a small okay. There was a minute of silence before Camila broke it. “Are you still there?” She asked.“Umm… yes. I don't know. I feel like I'm wasting your time,” Mrs Hockings said, chuckling nervously.“What is it, Agnes? Do you need anything?” Camila asked.“Well, yes. You remember that stuff you told me about?” Mrs Hockings asked as Camila tried recollecting.“Oh yes, I do remember. What's up? You finally gave it a thought.” Camila asked, smiling.“Yes, I did but I think I like it. I'll do it. I told my husband and daughter about it but Sheila wasn't too pleased about it because I was as

Abraham arrived at the gathering as other elite men praised him.“Here comes the richest business tycoon of our time,” Mr Loveday praised as other men laughed, agreeing with him. Abraham chuckled, shaking his head, grabbing a drink from a waiter passing by.“I think you all are giving me too much credit. I wouldn't have gone this far without any of you by my side. It was really a pleasure having each and every one of you around,” Abraham said, raising his glass to them as he drank from it.“My friend, you're too modest. We know how humble you are but at least, you should take praise for your hard work sometime,” Asher said as Abraham shrugged.“I hear you my friend. I'll definitely take your advice on that,” Abraham said as Asher laughed.“Of course. You do that,” he said, sighing. Unfortunately, Keith Thompson couldn't accept my invitation,” Asher said as Abraham, who was about to drink from his cup, paused. He just blinked and drank from his cup not showing anything.“That's unfortu

"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
