Camila was busy laughing while eating. It looks like Keith was telling her something and she was finding it funny.“Cover your mouth and chew properly,” Keith scolded her lightly as she brought out her tongue, showing it to him. “Childish,” he said with a scoff.“You love me like that,” she said boastfully.“Do I? Let me think for a second,” he said, pretending to think while sneaking a glance at Camila who just looked at him with a smile on her face. “Of course, I do and you should be lucky,” he said as she chuckled.“Lucky?” She asked as he nodded. “Dude, you should be the one lucky to have me. I've done a lot for you. I mean your life won't have been this better if I hadn't come into your life,” Camila said as Keith shook his head.“Whatever floats your boat,” he said with a smile as Camila saw someone coming towards them.“Guess who just arrived,” Camila said as Keith felt so less concerned.“Isn't it Sheila?” Keith asked, eating his food. Camila wondered how he knew and so she lo

Sheila was burning in rage. Max could feel it. She hit the seat, cursing profusely.“The nerves of that woman. I really hate her,” she said as she placed her fingers on her teeth, biting from it while being lost in her thoughts. “Turn around,” she ordered as Max did as he was told. When Max went back to the restaurant so that they could pick up Mrs Hockings, Sheila saw her mother following Camila and Keith. She scoffed angrily. “She couldn't even wait for me to come. What a woman,” she muttered to herself. “Drive home. I'm tired already,” she said as Max nodded, driving away.Camila dropped Mrs Hockings at home. Immediately she came down, Camila followed suit while Keith stayed in the car.“Thank you very much. I really appreciate it,” Mrs Hockings said as Camila shook her head.“You don't need to thank me. We're friends after all,” Camila said as Mrs Hockings smiled, squeezing her hand softly before going in. Camila sighed, joining Keith inside as she looked at him. “Thank you,” she

Keith arrived at the office, meeting Chris on the way to his office.“Mr Vileman took us to court sir,” Chris said as Keith was entering his office.“I saw that. Have you contacted our lawyer?” Keith asked as Chris shook his head.“Did that before you came, sir,” Chris said as Keith nodded. “What are you planning to do, sir?”“Good job. I'll try persuading to settle out of court and if he doesn't agree, I'll make him lose everything including the new business plans we have in control,” Keith said, picking up his phone and leaving the office while being on a call with someone.Sheila came downstairs for breakfast to see Abraham already seated and eating.“Good morning,” she greeted, sitting down to eat.“You looked angry yesterday. Did anything in particular happen?” He asked as Sheila scoffed softly, raising her head to him.“Don't mind me and carry on with your food. I'll get better by the day,” she said, eating her food, not paying attention to Abraham which pissed him a little.“Ar

Keith met Mrs Genevieve and Camila at Mrs Genevieve's house. He was really stressed out as he removed his suit jacket, slumping down on the chair with a sigh.“Stressed?” Mrs Genevieve asked as he nodded.“Here, have something cold. It would help,” she said, handing him a glass as he took it with one gulp.“How did it go?” Camila asked as Keith frowned.“I've never seen anyone as stubborn as that man. He's so stubborn that he isn't seeing the big picture in front of him,” Keith said, demonstrating how frustrated he is.“Did you tell him about the solution you're planning?” Mrs Genevieve asked as Keith nodded.“And he still didn't agree to drop the case?” Camila asked, quite surprised herself.“That's how surprised I was or should I say shocked.“He's stupid. That's for sure,” Mrs Genevieve said as they heard footsteps. “Urrh! She's here,” Mrs Genevieve said, displeased.“Who's here?” Camila asked as Sheila came into view.“You all better start talking,” she said, folding her hands whi

Keith tried ignoring Camila since they came back from Mrs Genevieve's house.“You've been avoiding me, Keith,” she said, standing at akimbo.“I've not been avoiding you. I'm just too tired to say anything,” Keith said, walking past her.“I know you are angry at me but we need to talk,” Camila said, looking at Keith who chuckled bitterly.“Angry?” He asked as he laughed. “I'm not just angry Camila. I'm pissed,” he said, running his hands through his hair. “We agreed that we weren't going to tell anyone about the baby and you went and spilled it out to Sheila,” he said, disappointed in her which made her angry.“Oh please, do not give me that disappointing look. All this is your fault,” Camila said as Keith looked confused.“My fault?” He asked.“Yes, it's your fault. If you weren't paying so much attention to Sheila, I wouldn't have felt so insecure. You didn't have my back there and you act like you need Sheila to make things go as planned,” Camila said as Keith became speechless.“Yo

“Fancy seeing you here, Miss Hockings,” she turned to see Duncan. She sighed as she groaned inwardly. Duncan chuckled, seeing her facial expression. “What's a beautiful woman like yourself sitting here all alone?” He asked as sighed.“And that's my cue to leave,” she said, standing up while Duncan chuckled. “You annoying piss of shit,” she muttered, glaring at him and leaving."Good morning all, I’m Nicki Samson, reporting live. As you may have heard, I’ll be filling in for my colleague, who is currently recovering from an unfortunate incident. She was allegedly assaulted by an individual described as a 'fiery fan'. A concerning situation that we hope resolves swiftly, as our thoughts are with her during her recovery.“This morning, however, I want to shift focus back to the story that’s stirred much conversation across the city: the ambitious work of billionaire businessman Keith Thompson.

“Mr Vileman has taken you to court. The Court's hearing will be held next week,” Chris said as Camila scrowled.“Perfect time to launch the new project so that he would see that he has lost,” Keith said, nodding his head. “Anything else?” Keith asked.“Someone is here to see you,” Chris said as Keith sighed.“Tell him I'm unavailable for the moment and tell this person to come next time,” Keith said as Chris smiled sheepishly.“Well, he said it's urgent so I may have brought him in already,” Chris said as Keith glared at him. “Sorry,” he said, running out as a man came in.“Make it short. I don't have the whole time,” Keith said as the man smiled.“Don't worry about that. I do not plan on staying here any longer,” the man said as Keith and Camila narrowed their eyes at him.“You sure do have a lot of nerves,” Camila said as the man just smiled.“Can you please just state the reason you're here. In case you didn't know, we were on our way out,” Keith said as the man nodded.“I understa

“Then, I'll tell him to back off. If you don't need my help, then it's okay. I'm leaving,” she said, sipping the drink before standing up and leaving but paused and turned to them. “I'll urge you to think about it. You have till tomorrow,” she said as she left.“The nerves of that woman. I don't think I'll ever like her,” Camila said, looking at Keith who wasn't paying attention to her. “What are you thinking about?” She asked, touching him. Keith smiled at her.“Nothing. I was just wondering what you would be eating,” Keith said smiling. Camila knew he was lying but she dropped it, playing along with him.“I know right. I'll check the menu,” she said smiling, while picking the menu. Keith looked at her as he sighed softly. Everything went smoothly as nothing happened to anyone and before you know it, days turned to weeks as the Court's hearing drew near.Nicki Samson stands confidently in front of the courthouse, microphone in hand, with the buzz of the gathered crowd around her.

"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
