6The glow of my laptop screen illuminated the dimly lit room as I sat hunched over my desk, fingers flying across the keyboard as I typed out the latest post for our social media campaign. The digital realm had become our battleground, a space where we could amplify our voices and mobilize support for our cause with the click of a button."Our latest post is live," I announced to the group of young activists gathered around me, their eyes shining with excitement and anticipation. "Let's see if we can get it trending."As we watched the numbers climb steadily, I couldn't help but marvel at the power of social media to effect change in the world. With each like, share, and comment, we were spreading awareness about Edward's corrupt practices and rallying support for our mission to bring him to justice."This is amazing," one of the young activists exclaimed, her face lit up with excitement as she scrolled through the comments pouring in from supporters around the world. "We're really m
The anticipation in the courtroom was palpable as I sat beside my legal team, my heart pounding with nervous excitement. We were embroiled in a legal battle against Edward, using the court system to challenge his authority and expose his corruption for all to see."We've got a strong case," Claus, my legal advisor, reassured me, his voice calm and steady despite the tension in the air. "Just stick to the facts and let the truth speak for itself."I nodded, trying to quell the butterflies in my stomach as the judge entered the room, signaling the start of proceedings. The air crackled with electricity as the prosecution laid out their case, painting a damning picture of Edward's crimes and misdeeds.But as they spoke, I couldn't help but feel a sense of determination welling up inside me. This was our chance to hold Edward accountable for his actions, to ensure that justice was served and the rule of law upheld.As the prosecution finished their arguments, it was our turn to present ou

"You piece of shit! Get out of this house!""Dogs like you deserve to live in the street until the ends of your life," "Mark my words, you are nothing without this family's name. You are nothing but a curse!"…Evan stood on the sidewalk with a lighter in hand in front of the hotel. His clothes were wet by the drizzle that fell from the dark sky. His deep blue eyes stared at the empty streets as he took out another cigarette and lit it with the lighter."It has been long but yet I haven't gotten over those words she said," He muttered as he stood there memorizing the hurtful words his mother-in-law had said to him, the day she sent him out of the house. He took a deep drag of the cigarette letting the smoke escape his lips in a long, and slow exhale. Three years ago, he was brought to San Francisco without much information about the city and as such he had a flash marriage with his wife, Christel.It was supposed to be one filled with love and happiness since her grandfather approv
"What did you just say?" Her harsh voice echoed in the hall as she glared at Evan. Christel stared at her mum with a look of discomfort on her face."Mum, you shouldn't be doing this here, please." She said through gritted teeth and her mum turned towards her with a murderous gaze."Do not speak," She clenched her teeth tightly then closed her eyes and exhaled lightly."As I was saying… You must leave this place. You do not belong here and you shall never be among the noble class. Who knows if the reason you are here is because some old man decided to hire you as his errand boy," She smirked then walked towards Evan with disgust in her eyes."I've given you enough time to sign those divorce papers and if you don't sign them." She threatened then backed away, "Who knows if the street can still be your home," "Mum!" Christel frowned then flashed an apologetic look at her husband. Her mother had crossed the line and she couldn't stand it anymore but even If she wanted her husband to be
A quiet mansion stood under the dark clouds as the trees around the mansion swayed by the wind, but unlike how quiet it looked on the surface it couldn't be said for the inside."Damn it! Had he not shown his disgraceful self in that hall? I am sure the mayor would have introduced me to the CEO of Vertice Capital," Mrs. Bertha snapped angrily as she kept pacing around the room.Christel stared at her mum with an embarrassed look on her face but she didn't say a word."So are you trying to say that Evan was the reason why you got kicked out of the banquet?" Nathan asked, he was Christel's eldest cousin. The other family members gathered in the room all frowned on hearing this and they stared at Mrs Bertha demanding an explanation."I didn't know it would lead to that. I thought the mayor would side with me and send the lowlife out of the place. I didn't know it would be the opposite," She coldly replied then stopped pacing around and faced the people in the room."What do you plan to
"Since my daughter already agreed to go out with you. I think everything's settled then," Mrs. Bertha chuckled lightly and sent a spiteful glare at Evan.Evan stared at Christel with an unreasonable expression on his face then he faced Mrs. Bertha. "I received your call. Did something happen?" He asked calmly.Harry's eyes widened in shock at Evan's temperament. He thought Even would blow up and fall on his knees begging for Christel's attention.Christel on the other hand was a little disappointed. 'I thought he would stop me. Had he held my hands and told me to stop, I'll do so, but why? Has he moved on after the incident?' She thought with a saddened expression on her face."Oh, that reminds me. Something urgent came up and we need you to do some little family favor for us," Mrs. Bertha smiled slightly then turned and headed towards the room.Evan frowned on seeing this but he still followed closely behind her."I'll walk Harry out mum," Christel announced then left with Harry.E
In the outskirts of Santo City. A black BMW drove slowly inside the compound of a grandiloquent building that had seven stars proudly imprinted at the top of the building.Harry, Jane, Christel, and Mrs. Bertha stepped out of the car and stared at the building before them.“So this is the infamous seven-star hotel. I never thought I'd get to visit this place one day, not to talk about having lunch here,” Jane laughed out loud then stared at her elder sister, Christel.“Let's go, there's still more to show you,” Harry urged then led the way for them. He had promised to take Christel out for lunch and seeing this Jane decided to follow suit.Just as they got inside the elevator and were about to close it a familiar figure appeared before them.‘'What is he doing here?’ Harry's pupils shrank slightly as the familiar figure walked inside the elevator with a calm look on his face.'What is this ungrateful man doing here? Is he by chance stalking my daughter? That's so disgusting of him,’’
