“Okay, let me hear it,” Abraham said.“Stay away from Keith and Camila. Leave them alone. If you want to play, take it somewhere else. You shouldn't derive joy in trying to ruin someone else's life. Take time to reflect on yourself and make yourself feel better. If you try to mess with them, I'll make sure I'll do everything in my power to make you pay,” she said, then turned to her seat seeing Mr Kevin waiting for her.“Mrs Genevieve, what were you discussing with that man?” Mr Kevin asked as Mrs Genevieve turned to Abraham giving him a small smile. Abraham clenched his jaws, putting his both hands in his pocket as he left the restaurant.“You shouldn't worry. We were just having a friendly talk,” she said sitting down but Mr Kevin doubted it but he didn't question her as he sat down and they began to talk.Keith and Camila came back to the house feeling sad.“You want me to get something for you to drink?” Keith asked Camila while she was sitting down. She nodded as he got to the fr

“I need you to stop interfering with it. If you don't like my decision, just be happy for me. For once in your life, stop trying to rule my life and be happy for me and if Sheila really wanted to drive a wedge between us, she wouldn't stoop so low as doing something petty. You should know that by now,” Having said that, he walked out. “Mum…,” Smart started but Mrs Genevieve held her hand up silencing him.“Get out!” She said as he sighed.“You've all got to be kidding me,” and he left.Sheila finished telling her parents everything.“Oh boy, that's a lot to take in and it sure looks like it's going to take this guy's mother time to really accept you,” Mr Hockings said as Sheila nodded in agreement.“And don't ever feel like you're not adding anything to the group. You've done the best you can do for someone who is staying with the enemy in the same house,” Mrs Hockings said as Sheila smiled.“I felt nice talking to you both plus this dessert is sick,” she said as her mother smiled.

“Why, what's wrong?” Keith asked as Camila sighed.“Apparently, she fought with Duncan and sent Smart away,” Camila explained as Keith sighed.“Then you actually need to be there,” Keith said as Camila hummed. “You need me to take you there?” He asked as she shook her head.“I'll be fine. You don't have to take me there,” Camila said as Keith nodded.“Okay, but be careful. Call me immediately you get there,” Keith said as Camila nodded, kissing him and leaving.When she arrived at Mrs Genevieve's house, the door was open. She became suspicious. She entered inside, calling her name but she didn't get any response. She took her phone from her back so she could call Keith immediately she saw something fishy. She got to the sitting room as she saw Mrs Genevieve in her own pool of blood. She screamed as her phone fell from her hand. She bent down to pick it when someone knocked her from the back making her faint and when she woke up, it was already morning and she was covered in blood and

They took an hour questioning her as they all got exhausted. Everything she said boiled down to the fact that she didn't kill Mrs Genevieve. The officers pressed harder, using Camila’s initial reluctance to disclose details as evidence of deceit. They questioned the validity of her story, pointing out inconsistencies and emphasizing the damning physical evidence. They twisted her hesitation into an accusation like, “You didn’t want to tell us about the fight with her sons because you knew it might make you look guilty, didn’t you?” But despite their aggressive tactics, Camila maintained her innocence. Her answers were consistent, even if shaky under pressure. She had no motive to harm the victim, and she insisted she was only there to comfort a friend. After hours of relentless questioning, the officers left the room, frustrated by their inability to break her story. Behind the one-way mirror, the lead detective frowned. “She’s either a damn good liar or she really doesn’t know what

“Do you think Camila had any reason to harm your mother?” detective Riley asked as Smart scoffed.“Absolutely not. Camila was her friend. She was a very good friend. My mum even took her like a daughter she never had. She wouldn’t hurt her.” Duncan said firmly which Smart agreed to without hesitation. Riley tapped his pen against the folder, his eyes never leaving the brothers. Smart was beginning to shake. He was having a hard time coming up with the terms that his mother was gone. Duncan placed a hand on Smart's arm, a silent plea for calm.“Detective, we’ve told you everything we know. If you have more questions, talk to our lawyers.” Duncan said, holding his brother's hand firmly. They were each other's support now and he wouldn't let anyone make his brother feel uncomfortable. Riley smiled faintly, closing the folder.“Oh, we will. But don’t go far. Something tells me we’ll be seeing you both again soon.” he said as the brothers exchanged uneasy glances as Riley stood and left th

She gave him some time to himself and when she felt like he needed someone beside him, she sighed, entering inside. She looked around, feeling guilty for entering the house. She thought it was abominable for her to enter the house of the woman who never wanted her to be with her son and now she was dead and Sheila felt like somehow, she was at fault. If she didn't come into Duncan's life, he wouldn't have quarreled with his mother for her sake and he would have been here with her today not mourning her. She sat beside him. She didn't say anything or try to touch him. She just let him be. When she felt like he was okay, she wrapped her hands around him, patting him.“It's okay. I'm here for you. Everything is going to be okay,” she said, wrapping her hands around him.“Nothing is ever going to be okay, Sheila. She's gone and she's never coming back and it's all my fault,” Duncan said, crying.“It's not your fault. Abraham is the one that should be blamed,” Sheila said as Duncan left h

“Are you sure? You have Camila to deal with,” Smart said as Keith scoffed.“She was like a mother to me. You two aren't her only sons and Camila would be fine because she won't be there for long. Baby Austin needs his mother,” Keith said as they all placed their hands together.“For mother,” they shouted as Mr Kevin stepped forward.“Don't leave me out of this. You can all use me as you want,” he said as they nodded.They all found out that Mrs Genevieve had seventeen stab sounds when the results from forensic came in and Camila's fingerprints were on the scene. There were no other traces of anybody coming and leaving the house. It was only Camila which made her the suspect for the murder. Detective Riley calls for Camila, placing the forensic report on the table, his expression grim. Camila sits across from him, her face pale but defiant.“The forensic results are back, Ms. Joffrey. They confirm what we suspected. Your fingerprints are the only ones on the weapon, and your DNA is al

“What is she doing here?” Duncan asked as everyone looked at him. Sheila chuckled nervously.“Is there a problem? I'm supposed to be here,” she said as Duncan scoffed.“Is there a problem, Duncan?” Keith asked.“I just don't want her here. I don't want to see her face,” Duncan said as Sheila scoffed.“Well, sorry to disappoint you but you'll have to see my face. If you don't like it, you can leave,” she said as he glared at her. Sheila turned to Keith, smiling but she wasn't happy. Since Mrs Genevieve died, it's as if the love Duncan had for her died as well. She knew he secretly blamed her for his mother's death. He couldn't even look her in the face without glaring at her. It was becoming impossible to stay in the same room as him. “So, I found out why lawyers are backing out from Camila's case,” she said as Smart looked at her.“What did you find?” He asked her.“Someone must have threatened them with something they loved if they defended the case,” Sheila said, showing evidence.

"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
