“It may shock you but everything people think I own actually belongs to him,” Cole said, nodding towards Duncan. “I'm just helping him manage his business so no one knows,” Cole said as Keith was shocked.“What about you?” Keith asked, looking at Cole.“I have my business but it isn't in the country. I have businesses in other countries but Duncan had asked for my help or should I say he demanded it as debt I was supposed to repay to his late father,” Cole said and when Duncan heard it he scoffed.“You talk too much for an old man your age,” he said, walking out.“Don't pay attention to him. He's cranky just like his mother,” Cole said as Keith was speechless which made the man laugh. “I'm sure you've been shocked today,” Cole said as Keith agreed with the man.Camila sighs, removing her clothes.“The day started badly but I can say for sure that it ended well. I actually had great fun today,” she said, wiping off her makeup. “I can't believe I'm saying this but Sheila can be fun when

Keith and Camila waited for Duncan at the restaurant Smart reserved for them. “He's here,” Camila said, placing her hand on his lap. They both turned to see Duncan coming with Sheila. Camila began to get angry. She really wasn't happy to see her.“I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I was busy with something,” Duncan said, sitting down as Sheila joined him.“No problem,” Keith said, giving them a small smile.“Oh, we can clearly see what you were busy with,” Camila said but neither Duncan nor Sheila said anything to her which got her angry. She didn't like the feeling of being ignored. “Why is she here?” She asked as Duncan looked at her.“I can't remember having an appointment with you but here you are,” Duncan said, smiling at Camila before giving his attention to Keith. Sheila just gave Camila the sassy look. “Why did you call to meet up?” Duncan asked.“I want us to come up with a way to deal with Abraham once and for all. Camila is pregnant and I'm sure he's coming up with plans

While Camila began to show. Her stomach was getting bigger and she made sure that she never missed an appointment with her doctor. Sheila and Duncan were still meeting secretly. They were now investing in their relationship much to Mrs Genevieve's dismay. Although they were all enjoying their time, their guards were never down. They had not heard from Abraham but they knew this was just a calm before the storm. One of the days, Mrs Genevieve cooked dinner and invited her son's along with Keith and Camila but to her dismay, Duncan brought Sheila.“I thought Abraham was keeping an eye on you? How do you usually escape from his sight to do as you please?” Mrs Genevieve asked as Sheila smiled, sitting properly on the dining table.“That's why I'm smarter. I know my way around things. You don't need to care so much about me,” Sheila said, smiling which annoyed Mrs Genevieve more. Duncan sighed, tired of the constant quarrels between his girlfriend and his mother.“Please can we all be at p

“Someone needs to grow up. You're not always around and mum needs someone to be there for her although she never admits it but she misses you too,” Smart said as Duncan nodded.“Yeah, I know that. Only if she would just say so and stop pushing everyone away,” Duncan said as Smart smiled.“You're just like mum,” Smart said as Duncan scoffed.“She just wants to be controlling but I'm not like that and I can't have her doing that to me. Sheila has her flaws but she's good when you get to know her,” Duncan said, done with smoking.“I know that already. You wouldn't be hell-bent on being with her if she was evil,” Smart said as Duncan looked at his brother.“Go stay with mum although I won't be so sure she would need it since her other family are with her. I need to go,” Duncan said, patting Smart on his shoulder before leaving.“Where is he?” Mrs Genevieve asked immediately when Smart entered the room. Keith and Camila looked at him as he looked at them too before looking at his mother.“

An hour later, Keith was working on a new project when his phone rang. He saw that it was Camila and so he picked it.“Did you miss me already? It hasn't been long we just spoke,” he said but there was no response. “What? Are you shy already? Why aren't you saying anything?” He asked, smiling as there was still no response.“Isn't this romantic?” Keith heard a male voice. He became confused as he checked the caller to see if he was mistaken.“Who's this and how did you get this phone?” He asked, not smiling.“I must say, I'm not happy that you couldn't recognize my voice. I thought we were close enough for you to know my voice? Well, it seems you only have Camila in your heart,” the voice said as Keith clenched his fists.“Abraham, what are you doing with Camila's phone and where is she?” Keith asked as Abraham laughed.“She's with her elder brother. What's so wrong in wanting to take care of my little sis and my unborn niece and nephew?” He asked as Keith stood up.“Look, if anything

Just as he arrived at the spot, Smart arrived there too.“Did you find it?” Smart asked as Keith showed him Camila's phone.“She isn't here. It's a dead end,” he said as the police arrived.“Mr Thompson, we've been briefed on the recent happenings. Please be rest assured that we will find Miss Joffrey,” the inspector said as Keith nodded.“Make sure you find her along with the bastard who did this to her,” Keith said as they nodded.“But sir, do you have anyone that you suspect?” The inspector asked as Keith and Smart looked at each other.“None that I know for now,” Keith said as they nodded, leaving to carry out a search in the area. They checked for CCTV cameras. While they were still searching, Smart leaned closer to Keith.“Why didn't you tell them that you're suspecting Abraham Corner? Why didn't you call his name?” He asked as Keith looked at the officers doing their job and then at Smart.“Not now. We don't know what he's up to and I know he also has people working for me at t

Camila was still crying. She had tried to escape but there was no luck. She had not eaten anything and she was hungry. She wondered how techboy was feeling. She couldn't stop blaming herself for dragging him into her mess. While she was crying out her eyes, the door opened and Abraham walked in.“Why is Cinderella crying?” He asked, laughing as he took a look at her very well. “My beautiful sister,” he said, trying to touch her on her cheeks but Camila removed her face. He chuckled. “As expected,” he said, sitting next to a chair, facing her. “You're really lucky. Your family cares so much about you. My intels tells me that they've paid every search party to look for you but they don't want the news to be leaked while that young man is going to die tomorrow,” he said as Camila looked at him. She began to cry.“Please, release me and let him go. You don't really have to go down this way. I promise, we won't send the police after you. Just let me go and stop all this,” Camila pleaded bu

“Damn Sheila, you drive me crazy,” he said, kissing her on her neck. “You don't know what you do to me,” he whispered, licking her earlobe. This action caused Sheila to shiver.“You also don't know what you do to me,” Sheila said as they kissed again. While they were kissing, someone entered the garden which caused them to separate. Duncan groaned while Sheila breathed hard. She tried to control her breathing when she heard Abraham's voice. Her heart began to beat as she and Duncan looked at each other. He placed his fingers on his lips, telling Sheila to be quiet which she did.“You boys should be ready. He'll surely choose his girlfriend. Get ready to kill the other person. I'll send you the location on where to drop the body,” Abraham said, disconnecting the call. When he was done smoking, he walked inside the house as Sheila turned to Duncan.“Who is the other person he was talking about?” She asked as he told her everything. “You need to get going. I don't want you to be caught h

"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
