Keith adjusted the jacket of his suit as he stepped out of his car, and stared at the law firm before him his face scrunched up with all seriousness and a hint of anger In his darkened gaze. He began moving after a quick nod at his driver and made his way into the building, his shoulders hunched up in a confident posture, his strides and movements reflected authority and pride.The petite lady behind the counter raised her head at the sound of approaching footsteps with a fixed smile on her face despite the way her brows drew together in confusion. “Good morning sir. Welcome to Ingrid limited and co. How may I help you?”Keith didn't offer her a smile in return and his face remained passive, “I need to see your boss, Mr. Ingrid.”The petite lady blinked, raising a brow at him. “Okay, I'm certain you aren't in today's schedule but if you can wait I'm sure I can find a place to fit you in_,” she said every word balancing her gaze from the computer in front of her and him.Keith frowned,

As Keith trailed slowly behind John his mind flashed back to the time when he had gotten out of jail as a nobody and went storming into the city bank. The moment was quite similar to what was happening now, except the difference was that he was not a nobody but probably the richest man in the world if not confirmed yet and he was not going to back down so easily until he got what he wanted and that house was one of them. John stopped before a door and knocked softly then glanced back at Keith, uncertainty clouding his features and he seemed more confused. Keith eyed him suspiciously and to his surprise, John bowed his head,“Mr. Ingrid Is expecting you, you can go in,” John said before hurrying off to God knows where. Keith's brows knitted together at the top of his head, what was that about? He shrugged and moved to open the door stepping into the office. Mr. Ingrid's office was like the rest of his company, bland but completely organized and the office felt a bit choked with how j

The cool air hit Keith but did nothing to wipe the angry frown as he stepped out of the Ingrid company and headed for where his driver was holding the door open waiting for him. He gave the driver a brief nod before slipping into the car then picked out his phone from his suit jacket and after a few clicks he pressed it against his ear.“Mr. Kevin,” Keith said as he got comfortable in his seat, moving his gaze out the window the moment the car set in motion. “Good morning again Keith.”Keith nodded absentmindedly, “I hope you have been able to calm down your wife?”“Yes, thank you for caring. Although she still seems a bit edgy, she's just calmer now.” Mr. Kevin explained.Keith nodded, “Good, again I apologize once again for the inconvenience I caused you this morning.”“It's fine, and not your fault sir. Have you been able to handle the problem with Mr. Hockings and the online problem?” Mr. Kevin quizzed in a worried tone. Keith cleared his throat and scrunched his face in annoyan

When Mr. Kevin had called Keith back it was around three in the afternoon while he had been trying to sort out some paperwork and plan his schedule, something to get his mind off the boiling rage he could still feel from the pit of his belly. “Good afternoon Keith. Sorry, I'm calling late.” Mr. Kevin said with a nervous chuckle.Keith dropped the papers he had been holding and pushed up to his feet, reaching for the glass of wine lying at the center of his messy work table. “Afternoon, I believe you are calling because you have something important to say.”Mr. Kevin gulped down nervously at the other end, he could still feel the anger coming from his boss's voice and he muttered a silent prayer that he wouldn't say anything to annoy him further. “Yes si_ I mean Keith. The purchase of the firm was a success and it's now yours.”Keith's lips lifted into a grin as he leaned against the railing, the cold breeze brushing his face and messing up his disarrayed curls on contact. “How did yo

The murmurs amongst the workers grew and everyone gazed upon the two men with curiosity and wonder, while the petite lady, the receptionist quietly slipped away and out of sight rushing off to her boss's office to inform him. John straightened up and began moving towards the staircase, he was truly curious about the powerful man who had bought the company.The two big men stepped aside to usher in a man dressed in a black three-piece suit, that clung to his bodice with perfection. John halted at the last stair with his eyes wide open in shock; he recognized the man before him as the man who had come by earlier to speak to his boss. He had been the one who deceived the man that Mr. Ingrid was in his office and led him into the vice president's office instead, but that was the best he could do. John had witnessed the tension between the man and the receptionist when Mr. Ingrid kept insisting on not seeing him, could that be why he bought the company? John thought curiously. Or maybe it

“Dad, please listen to me,” Ingrid Junior pleaded from where he stood behind his dad watching him pack.Mr. Ingrid paused, pushing everything on the table to the ground, “You idiot, this is all your fault, see what you have caused. Are you happy now?”Ingrid Junior sighed in exhaustion, although he knew his decision to sell the firm was reckless he couldn't say he regretted the decision. It has always been something he planned and has always hated how his father imposed the firm on him.“Think of it as an early retirement Dad,” he took a hesitant step forward, “You should have retired long ago if not for your stubbornness,’’ he added.Mr. Ingrid met his son's gaze, his lips curled in annoyance, “Keep the hell shut you ingrate. After everything I've done for you, if you didn't want the firm I wasn't complaining about running it all by myself.”“But_,” Ingrid junior started.“And who the hell said I needed a retirement, I was fine just the way I was, I was doing just fine.” Mr. Ingrid s

Keith approached the large building with Camila's arm latched around his as he led her into his house. He was damn delighted to have a place he could call his own and that he no longer had to live in a hotel room anymore. He glanced down at Camila whose eyes were trained on the path ahead with her eyes bright like a kid presented with her favorite candy, he moved his gaze to their joined hands and his heart warmed with satisfaction.“I'm so excited,” Camila squeaked, lightly brushing her shoulder with his as they moved down the path, the mare contact caused Keith's stomach to tighten.Keith rolled his eyes, “And you call me overly dramatic when you are here overreacting about a house you have already seen countless times.”Camila huffed in annoyance, tilting her head back to glare at him. “You are so annoying when you run your mouth, Keith. Jeez, you don't have to ruin it for me, I'm just trying to raise the eagerness and thrill.”Keith untangled their hands and sneaked his hand aroun

The bedrooms were just as grand as the whole place but what caught Keith's attention the most was the master bedroom, the king-sized bed was covered in fluffy pillows on top of embroidered covers, the wardrobe was large, and the floor was adorned with a soft dark colored rug. “And this automatically becomes my favorite room,” Keith said, breaking the tense silence. He twirled around to look at Camila and found her standing by the doorway, she hadn't spoken a word since his comment in the kitchen. “Don't just stand there, Camila. I'm sure this will be your favorite room too.” Keith stilled in his track to make eye contact with her ocean-blue orbs.“Really, Keith stop teasing,” Camila screeched in mock annoyance.Keith rolled his eyes and began moving towards her, closing the gap between them and when he finally got in front of her he reached for her arm and tugged her into the room. “Why are you acting all shy now?”Camila shrugged his arm off and gently pushed past me and plod over t

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.

"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

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.

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.

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?

"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
