“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

“Okay mum, I'm done listing the things I know you'll need for your business since you'll be starting at home,” Sheila said, writing some things down in a book.“Is that so?” Mrs Hockings asked, joining her daughter at the table.“Of course. It's your first business and I simply want to support you in whatever you're doing,” Sheila said as her mother smiled at her.“That's really sweet of you. Thank you,” Mrs Hockings said as Sheila waved her off.“It's nothing mum. I'm happy just doing this for you,” Sheila said as Mr Hockings snorted. She turned to her dad. “Was that a snort?” She asked, folding her hands.“Pardon me if it sounded offensive,” Mr Hockings said sarcastically.“No, don't stop on my account. Please, go ahead and speak your mind,” Sheila said as Mrs Hockings placed her hand on her forehead. She knew a quarrel was brewing between the father and daughter.“It's just funny how you're jealous of Camila just because she helped your mother. You're only trying to compete with he

Max parked the car after Sheila had gone inside. When he was done with what he was doing, he walked to Abraham's office.“Good evening sir,” he greeted, dropping the key on the table. “Her mum is starting a new business,” he reported as Abraham nodded.“Is that so?” He asked, still flipping through the file in his hands. “Okay. What else?” He asked.“She took help from Camila Joffrey to start this business which made Miss Hockings so angry that she went to confront them,” Max said as he didn't say anything. After some minutes, he sighed, tossing the file on the table.“You can go. Thanks for the info,” Abraham said as Max walked out.Keith sat on his table, going through some of the files on the table. Looking for the ones that need his signature when Chris bursts inside.“I'm sure you're aware that there is a thing called knocking,” he said, not raising his head from the work he was doing.“I think we have a problem sir,” Chris said with the hint of fear and worry evident in his voic

“That anchor was so unprofessional. No one has all the facts yet! Let the investigation happen first. Keith Thompson has always been a game-changer in the industry—he’ll bounce back.”“At least this one has brains,” Mrs Genevieve said.“A tragedy like this is hard enough without the media trying to make it worse. Keith Thompson took risks, like any good entrepreneur. Hopefully, he’ll rebuild and prove everyone wrong.” Smart read out as he chuckled. “This is all funny but at the same time, it's serious,” he said.“Maybe this is a wake-up call for him. You can’t just keep taking risks and expect people to trust you forever. Kudos to the anchor for telling it like it is.” Keith frowned, seeing this comment.“Just look at the nonsense they are saying. Why don't we sue all of them,” Mrs Genevieve ranted angrily. Before they could go any further, Keith turned off the projector. I've had enough. Let it rest and please, can no one not say anything? Let's just be quiet for a few minutes. I re

“You're no fun,” Sheila said softly while glaring at Keith who was looking at Camila who smiled at him. “Well, I have something to keep me busy. I'm going to blow out some steams on that reporter and those useless haters who commented wrongly,” Sheila said as Camila tried stopping her. “Don't even think about it. It's not going to work,” she said, bringing out her phone and going to work.“Quick question before you start,” Smart said as Sheila rolled her eyes, groaning.“What is it?” She asked.“Won't they know that you're the one if you drop a comment? It would implicate you,” Smart said as Sheila smiled.“Don't worry. I've got it covered,” she said, going back to her work. “Comment from Fiery Supporter,” she type, reading it out loud."Oh, look at all the armchair critics acting like they know a thing about business! Let me spell it out for you slow thinkers: Keith Thompson has achieved more in a year than any of you will in your entire sad lives. Accidents happen, but you keyboard

Keith and Camila went home together in silence. Each thinking about their own problems. They couldn't eat as they played with their food. Keith couldn't take it anymore as he stood up.“Where are you going?” Camila asked.“To my room,” Keith answered, carrying his plates.“But, you aren't done with your food yet,” Camila said as Keith looked at her then at her plate.“You should worry about your own self. You aren't even eaten and you're worried about me,” he said as he shook his head, going to keep his plates. Camila sighed, placing her spoon on her plate. Her mind was in turmoil. She stood up, picking her plates when Keith had already gone upstairs.She met Keith, still lost in his thoughts.“You okay?” She asked, sitting next to him as he sighed, holding her hands.“You don't seem okay yourself,” he told her, looking at her.“You want to talk about it?” She asked him as he shrugged.“Do you want to talk about your problem?” He asked her back as she sighed.“Not now,” she replied.“

"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
