“What took you so long?” Keith questioned as he watched Camila return to stand at the spit beside him. Camila offered him a smile of innocence, reaching for the glass of wine between Keith's fingers, and immediately drowned the contents. Keith eyed her with keen interest with a brow raised, “Someone's thirsty,” he teased watching her set down the cup.Camila nodded, “The trip to the ladies’ room was quiet_,” she trailed off and tapped her chin as if searching for the right word, “Eventful.”The lightness on Keith's face vanished quickly, replaced with a look of worry, “What happened? Did you run into you know who?”The corners of Camila's lips pulled upwards, “No, I did not run into you know who, Keith. It was eventful because I had a bit of a problem searching for the ladies’ room,” the lie rolled off Camila's tongue easily. Of course, she would not mind telling Keith about the little incident in the bathroom but she would not want him to get more worried than he already was and he

Keith glanced around and very easily spotted Mr. Hockings in the company of his wife at the other side of the hall, with both their attention on him and his date, Mr. Hockings was glaring at him but to Keith's surprise Mr. Hockings was not making any move to approach him and make a scene but he believed it had something to do with the two men dressed in black stationed beside the couple. Camila nudged his arm to get his attention and raised a brow at him in question when his gaze met hers, “Those couple on the other side doesn't seem to like you,” she pointed out.lAs much as Keith tried to force himself to be at ease he could not bring himself to calm the rolls of anxiousness rising from the bottom of his belly. Something wasn't right, beginning with Camila's earlier strange behavior and the fact that Sheila's parents had not attempted to do anything and then the absence of both Sheila and her boyfriend despite being the hosts of the party. Things were too calm and uneventful for Ke

Frank resisted the urge to smile as he watched Sheila approaching, it was time now and although he had high hopes for his girlfriend he couldn't still help but worry about this supposed perfect plan of hers, what if it went wrong? And Thompson was not a fool and maybe the plan would not be able to push through if Keith did not go with Sheila, and although Sheila had reassured him that Keith would not turn her down he was not so sure, Keith was not going to let himself get fooled again so easily, especially with what happened before. He moved his eyes to the lady standing beside Keith, the lady who had supposedly made his girlfriend so angry she wanted her dead. He flashed a smile, “But I'm certain you won't deny me the honor of introducing me to your beautiful date.”Frank watched as the lady scrunched her with no sign of surprise that the conversation was getting shifted to her but her face was immediately relieved into a composed smile, she took a step forward and held out a hand t

Keith raised a brow at Sheila, staring at her incredulously with a mocking smile on his face despite the annoyance on his facial features. He studied Sheila's face for some seconds before he could no longer hold back his urge to laugh and began laughing at Sheila's stunned face.Sheila frowned, “What is so funny, Keith?” She questioned, her nose scrunched up. “You of course,” Keith said between his laughter as he took a step back from Sheila and moved to lean by the study table a few steps away from him. He used the opportunity to take in where he was and scoffed, Sheila did a good job of choosing a place to lay an ambush. This office was the one closest to the crowd outside and so he suspected that anything she had planned had to do with the guests at the party. Now that he knew that, he needed to be extra careful. Sheila forced herself to laugh along, “Oh really, I would like it if you shared the joke, so we could both laugh together.” Keith shrugged innocently, “Why not, I am la

Keith felt a rush of relief pass through him as his eyes landed on Camila's back view, she was leaning against the table twirling a glass of wine but it was obvious from the way her eyes wandered from time to time that she wasn't paying attention but the man before her did not seem to notice as he continued speaking while his eyes ravaged Keith's girlfriend with a smirk, Keith wondered why Frank had a gleam of pride in his eyes, even his Frank's shoulders were postured high and his eyes bright with confidence. Keith frowned, glaring at Frank even though he hadn't noticed him, what in the world was going on in Frank's mind to make him have that look? If Frank was thinking he got Camila swooned under his supposed charm then he was a much bigger fool than Keith thought. Keith dragged his gaze off Frank and back to Camila and to his surprise, she was already staring back at him with a knowing look and a hint of a smile, she rolled her eyes and nudged her head to invite him over. Keith did

“Care to explain why Thompson is leaving with his head up high and not buried down in shame?” Sheila stiffened at the sound of her father's voice as he barged into the room, she couldn't decide if it was the sound of the door slam or the harshness in her father's voice that frightened her, but she quickly concluded it was both of them. “Dad, please lower your voice. The guests are still here. And not to mention my head is aching too,” Sheila grumbled the latter part of the sentence making sure not to meet her father's gaze because she knew he would be glaring at her. Mr. Hockings did not pay any slight attention to his daughter and stepped into the office, slamming the door shut.Frank frowned, surprised to not find Sheila's mum with Mr. Hockings, they are usually always together. “Where is Mrs. Hocking?”Mr. Hockings snorted, “How am I supposed to know but I suppose she is trying to make herself useful, I hope.” Frank slumped on the seat, crossing his arms over his chest. Like fa

Keith let out a dark chuckle as he read through the file his publicity manager had sent him this morning. The Hockings just do not learn.“It isn't funny, Keith, could you please wipe the smirk off your face? It's giving me the creeps,” Camila snapped, mumbling the latter part of the sentence under her breath but Keith did not miss it.Her voice pulled Keith's attention from the article, to stare into the screen of his laptop. He had been on a video call with Camila when his publicity manager, Benson had called to inform him of the incriminating article the Hockings had released online, which was currently trending. And it appears Camila has also come across this piece of information. “Sorry, Cam, I got a bit carried away with what I was reading,” he apologized quickly, trying his hardest to conceal his smirk.Camila narrowed her gaze on him, with her nose flared. “It is scary how laid back you are about this dilemma. In case you aren't reading the same news as I am, I am going to rea

Keith could not resist the smile that tugged at the corner of his lips, he silently thanked God for the people he had around him now. Indeed he could not tell their real intentions and maybe he was wrong again with his judgment as he had been with Sheila but for some reason, as much as Keith wanted to put everyone at arm's length because of his damaged trust he could not bring himself to do it with these people he has founded for himself. He trusted them, with everything and somehow was very certain he could count on these set of people. He moved towards Mrs. Genevieve and pulled her into a hug. He never really felt much motherly love but he guessed if it was ever to be it would be just like how Mrs. Genevieve was to him. “Thank you,” he pulled away although not releasing her fully then smiled at the old man. “You appear so calm, which I find strange if you ask me,” Mr. Kevin said eyeing Keith suspiciously.Keith chuckled, “I am calm because I have got everything under control, Mr.

"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.

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.

"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
