Alex stubbed his toe on his way to the interrogation room. He didn't know what else they had in mind this time but whatever it was, he didn't want it to come near him at all. There was only a little of what he could take before he decided to walk away. When he got there, there was no one waiting for him but instead, it was the controller of the prison who stood in there with him.Angry but unwilling to show emotion, he finally decided not to take trash at all."I have been fighting my actual feelings all these while. What does this really mean?" He snapped at one of the warders. They looked at him, also angry but decided not to say a word because what would happen if they did, there was a lot for them to lose which they didn't really quite want to lose. "I would beg that you be quiet and watch what's about to happen instead of yapping around the corner, it's getting annoying right now, I don't think that I can take all the stress that you decide to put us all through." One of the w

Brielle smiled at the doctor who was trying to make the ultrasound experience exciting for her but she wasn't just feeling it in her bones. All that she could see was a bunch of people who were mocking her for being pregnant for a fraudster. Although they didn't say it, she read their actions correctly. "Thank you doctor Hayes. I'm grateful for the fact that you took me like your sister." She expressed her gratitude.Dr. Hayes raised a brow in confusion wondering why she was feeling so emotional but didn't know what to do. It could be her hormones toying with her. "I'm sorry about that." He snorted and ended that conversation because he didn't know what to do sincerely with the cries that escaped her lips. She was also married so it would be unprofessional for him to offer her comfort in the form of a hug. It could go South and before he knew it, he would be arguing about not being a pervert and stuff like that so right now, he was really

Brielle was almost crying when she arrived at the prison yard. She was told that Alex had been transferred again and she crumpled into tears. There was a reason she knew that she had been deceived. A few people didn't want to acknowledge that there was a possibility that there was a mistake in the identification process. "You can't just keep transferring him without allowing me to see him. That's not how works unless you're just fraudsters who are parading as responsible lots which I am beginning to doubt." She chuckled softly. "Do you know what this is?" Nikki stepped in. "You have no right, I repeat no right at all to transfer her without her permission. It's pure madness to do that. If you would have honored the invitation by the court by now, then you would know that there's a remedy for all of these. Do you have any ulterior motive for doing these? I van bey that you don't want to go to jail because of this offensive." She faced General Nathan. Nathan loved the challenge th

Martin's phone rang loudly piercing through the stillness and he had no choice than to rise quickly. "Hello," he muttered before rolling his eyes. He was trying his hardest to make sure that he was able to pick that call immediately. He didn't want a situation where he would be disturbed no matter how disturbed he was "I didn't know that you had been calling." Brielle turned toward Nikki who nodded softly and she sighed. "I'm sorry for calling, it wasn't my intention at all but I couldn't resist. Are you busy? I really want to have a conversation with you. I don't know if you mind." He raised his brows a few centimeters, trying to understand why they thought that it might bother him. "Do you want me to come over now? Why do you think that it would bother me? You're supposed to call me at whim. Just tell me the date and time and I will show up." Martins replied, making her a bit confused. Brielle hummed warily, she didn't know what to believe. This wasn't how she expected him to be

"I'm sorry gentlemen, I wasn't supposed to call this meeting on such a short notice but it is important due to the things, I'll call them rumors circulating, trying to destroy our company name." Liam began the next day in the boardroom.A certain blogger had gone around speaking all manner of wrong things about him. He had paid someone to take care of the faceless coward he still wanted to save face on the front. "So, I know that a few people might have seen the news... Yes?" He drawled and a few of the partners nodded. "Exactly what I thought. Now, that's what I call sabotage in business. It's obvious that they are concerned with making sure that nobody believes me anymore. It's a method of tarnishing one's image to fit their bill. I won't dance to anyone's tune so if they so please, they can go ahead to keep running their gossip mills." Mr. Bart stared at Liam carefully. He didn't think that it was totally false however he kept his thoughts to him

.Brielle sighed softly before looking into the eyes of the people she felt were her allies. Her head cocked sideways as she drummed her pen on the edge of her seat. "I know that you all are busy but there's something that I want to discuss with you, I don't just know you might receive it. Last week, I had a thought, so I want to inform you about it." She began.Martins and Nikki shared a glance before looking at her. Martins studied his boss's wife. She was distraught and tiredness was visible all over her face. It reminded him of probably a wounded lion that was trying to recuperate. That might be too lame for her though."Yeah, so we are going to talk about my husband's imprisonment. I am not comfortable with the way he's been treated like a criminal. I've gotten to realize that no one can save him except me so I am willing to further my investigation." She explained.They stared at her as though she didn't know what she was saying and she didn't bother to clarify.Martins, who had

The thrill of adventure pushes Sean to call Brielle the next morning. "Hey, babe. It's been long time since we spoke. Are you okay now?" Brielle looked at her phone and stared at Nikki who was now camping at her house, commuting to and fro her house. "I don't know who this is. Who are you ?" She replied with a bite in her voice. He didn't feel deterred by her response because he knew that women always acted that way especially when they didn't like the said person, it was just a way for them to dissuade the person from calling them. "I don't know... Who did you give your number to?" Brielle sighed angrily, she really didn't have the time nor energy to go through all of these with someone who was clearly not serious with her. Why would someone be calling just to be a pest in her life? "You don't want me to know who you are, Mr. Caller. I don't have time for this nonsense. It's either you state your identity or get lost." She snapped. It was obviously someone who had a lot of

Liam sauntered into the restaurant and quickly scanned the area to see the man he was supposed to meet sitting across and tapping his feet on the ground as someone who had no care in the world but he knew that it was a total lie and anyone who fell for that was going to be in big soup."My man, how are you doing today!" He called cheerfully even though he didn't feel it. He hated Sean and Brock but had to pretend till the saga was over. There was no way that he was going to allow them to strike him. "Yo! Come over here!" Sean replied, matching his energy. They both stared at each other like hawks, yet pretended to be on good terms. "I don't know why you are just arriving. Your friend just left." "Well, I had something important to tidy up before rushing out here. You said you wanted to see me for something special. I'm here now, what's the matter?" "I need you to help me drug Brielle. We need to have a piece of evidence against her so that the blackmail plan can go through. I won'

Chapter 162: Epilogue
It had been a week since the day that the final hearing had been adjourned. The judge had thanked Alex, Amelia, and Nikki for their help to the investigation. It was not something a judge would usually do but the whole situation that had brought them to the court was out of the ordinary. Alex and Brielle had been released from jail and the judge had ordered the immediate arrest of the real culprits after promising compensation to Alex and Brielle. Everyone sat in the courtroom, anticipating the beginning of the final hearing. There were reporters and people from the mass media all around the room and every single person who was involved in the case was present as well. Liam, his mother, their Lawyer who had helped their forgery, Brock, Sean and Martin. Alex, Amelia, Nikki and Brielle were also there to witness the final judgment so as to receive a form of closure for all of their efforts and the ways they had been deceived.Liam and his mother came into the courtroom first to hear th

After Alex presented all the evidence explaining his wicked brother's schemes, Liam saw that there was no way to hide anymore so he grinned again. "Yes, I meant what I said. I can't be the only one with hands pointing at me. I am just a little in number of people who are involved in this crime so as much as I would like to talk about certain things I also wanted to tell you that there might be some things that you want to change but don't have the power to. It's all in your head if you think that I won't carry out proper investigations." He said. The whole courtroom was astonished at his nonchalance. "Do you think that I would be afraid anymore? You don't even know half of what I've done. If you knew it, I'm sure that a lot of you would run mad but that won't help you one bit, instead it would dampen how fast this process should be and make you look like a fool." He spat. Temple signaled to him to stop talking so that he didn't reveal all the secrets but he refused. "The funny thi

The judge stared at him, wondering why three people were walking in."Barrister Nikki, what is going on here?" He asked when he saw close to five people walking into the room at the same time."I brought them as witnesses to help with the process, sir." She confessed and the judge nodded while motioning that she could go on. "I, Barrister Nikki, would like the court to allow us to begin the process again so that we can have a clear picture about what will happen soon." She replied.The judge was a bit perplexed but from the way the lady was speaking, she figured out that she probably knew what she was doing and was only biding her time.Liam glanced at his lawyer in fear hoping that they didn't make the mistake of letting anything slip out of his mind. Temple began to sweat because he knew that problems were about to arise and all he could do right now was to make sure that he was able to find a solution. "Let the proceedings begin." He replied."I have evidence that shows that my

In The CourtRoom. "According to the pieces of evidence before me I can boldly claim that the plaintiff is right in his suit." The judge spoke while adjusting the rim of his glasses so that it settled perfectly on his nose. Nikki rolled her eyes at the declaration. It was evident that he had been bribed hence the reason for him not properly dissecting the evidence before him and choosing to believe this man over Alex. "Objection my Lord." Nikki piped up with a smile while staring her boss in the eyes. Barr. Temple who watched her grapple with many sheets of papers as she tried to bring up more evidence. "Objection sustained." The judge granted her request Nikki adjusted her collar and smiled at the judge again. "I'm sure that everyone knows that these men are nothing but treacherous businessmen. At least that's what the tabloids say and not only that, we have a little evidence to back it up. May I show the court?"The judge nodded and she flicked on the remote which brought out im

Nikki tapped her feet in the car impatiently as they waited for Brielle to come out of Sean's apartment. They had gotten someone to set a camera inside the house to watch what was going on so that they knew the next step to take Amelia also tapped her fingers against the window as she counted one to ten in her head. The plan was simple, Brielle was to go in, seduce Sean and get him to confess to many crimes that he committed so that they could present in the court in three days. "What could be keeping her too long?" Nikki murmured angrily. They still had a lot of places to reach before midnight. Shs wanted to make everything done and over with so that she could take a nap but this was not going the way she wanted."She's not even in the line of vision. We told her to remain in the living room so that we could capture the real footage and present unmistakable evidence." Amelia muttered, their initial ire forgotten.Nikki rubbed a hand across her face as she kept on waiting for the fo

Nikki's eyes wandered toward the duo who were staring at her eagerly like she was bringing salvation to them."I feel weird." She chuckled nervously but their stares continued."I know, right? We have been waiting for you all day, why don't you get some juice in the fridge? I made it specially for you." Brielle suggested so that she didn't feel weirded out.Amelia on the other hand tapped her foot impatiently as she tried to understand what might be going on."Do you realize that we have a lot to do and I would really appreciate it if we get right into it." She muttered impatiently."Right. I guess we can dive right into the topic. So why are you here, Amelia?" Nikki challenged her. Amelia scoffed at the audacity that this lady possessed to challenge her about her presence in her cousin's house. "You're just a friend but that's beside the point. Now, why I called is to inform you that there will soon be a party, the culprits would be present so we need to be fast about it." She said
Chapter 156: Brainstorm
"Why don't you stop by my house later tonight?" Brielle inquired from Nikki the next day. She has something very improved to tell her that required that they brainstorm.Nikki glanced at her watch and realized that there was a problem. It was almost three p.m. and she still had a meeting to cover before she could call it a day. However, since Brielle needed her, it was high time that she agreed on what to do."Okay, I'll be there. I hope you have food though because I'm famished," She replied. "Yeah, you don't need to worry, I just need to put some things together, that's a little repayment for your time and energy," Brielle responded half-heartedly. She wasn't really in the mood to cook but had no choice anyway since that was what her beloved friend wanted. "You don't need to stress yourself to prove a point, I could order but I feel like having a home-made meal. You know what? Why don't I make a quick stop at home so I don't stress you out? I could also bring some for you. Whatcha

“I’m here to see Alex.” Amelia told one of the prison wardens who stared at her as though she was speaking Greek. She returned a matching glare not wanting to be intimidated at all. They had nothing on her."Who are you and why do you think that you have the right to see him before visiting hours?" He asked her."I don't know why I don't have the privilege to see my in-law, last time I checked, this is the visiting time or is there something you don't want me to know about?" Amelia replied angrily. She had no respect for people who were after their bellies. The warden was tapped by his colleague who nodded to allow her in. She was a family member who was not restricted from seeing him. The first warden didn't just want to allow her in like that. There needed to be peace and orderliness. “Who are you?”“Amelia.”“Wait in the visitors room, I’ll call him for you.”Amelia was seated as she looked around and waited patiently for Alex to be brought to her. It was minutes and minutes wer
