Gina stopped abruptly in her steps, a startled expression on her face as she clutched her chest before gasping. Raising her eyes back to the figure who now stood in front of her, she couldn't help but stare at her mesmerizing beauty. Despite being in her late sixties, she still held a light and stood out whenever she appeared in public.She stood in front of Damon, her eyes fiery red, glaring with anger as she fixed her gaze on him while he averted his to avoid eye contact with her. Iron Fist wore a puzzled expression, not understanding what was going on.“Oh, here you are,” she chuckled before marring her features into a frown again.“I'm sorry, sir! Very sorry, sir!” Iron Fist's security pleaded, his knees almost giving way to the floor in an attempt to please his boss. He knew fully well what would be his fate once the whole chaos was resolved.“Sir, I tried to hold her off, but she wouldn't. She just barged into the building, refusing to adhere to the rules.”“So how may I help yo
The next day.At the Courtroom.The courtroom was filled with not just people—attorneys, videographers, and witnesses, coupled with the audience and judges—but also different activities.Jade stepped forward, clad in a jumpsuit from Burberry. Her face beamed with triumphant smiles even before starting, and Damon couldn't help but scowl.As usual, Jade being Harry's attorney would have been an advantage, but after seeing how good she was the last time, he underestimated her since it was her first time. He knew better not to try it again. Even if he hates Harry, he couldn't deny the fact that he was a pro, and any attorney he touches turned to be an A-list lawyer of the states.Putting on an unreadable expression, he turned his gaze to Iron Fist, who nodded once their eyes met. Giving him a nod of 'everything is okay,' he had to force a smile, adjusting his clothes like butterflies weren't having a dance in his stomach.His eyes darted to the crowd, and there were not many people like t
Harry strode out of the hall, Frederik and Jade in tow, eliciting curious glances from the onlookers. Some stole quick glances from the corners of their eyes, while others openly gazed at them as if they were visitors from another realm.Gasps and hushed whispers swept through the crowd, capturing the attention of Mr. Damon and Iron Fist. Their eyes remained fixated on Harry even after the court proceedings had ended. They were still taken aback by his ability to turn the tables and secure Martin's release, thwarting their plans and forcing them to search for another scapegoat.The urinal drug test conducted on Martin proved his innocence. Damon had instructed Owen to falsely vouch for Martin's addiction and his responsibility for the warehouse. However, Jade's insistence on taking the test and revealing the truth brought everything to light.Jade initially hesitated about Martin's innocence, but she saw it as his only chance for salvation and urged him to take the test. To their reli
Harry was taken aback by Owen's presence. Despite their encounters in the courtroom, they had to maintain the illusion of being enemies to preserve Owen's facade around Mr. Damon and protect his job.They settled onto the same couch, with Harry keeping a close eye on Owen.Jade stood up swiftly, a wide grin on her face as she greeted, "Hey Owen, how are you doing?""Oh, my bad," she chuckled. "I just saw you in court, and you were doing just fine."Owen nodded happily."What can I get you, Owen?" Harry asked, already on his feet, ready to take Owen's order."Nothing too serious, actually. Anything will do. I'll just have water," he smiled."Water?" Harry exclaimed jokingly. "Don't worry, I must have fumbled while asking. I shouldn't have."The two men exchanged smiles as Harry made his way towards the kitchen to fetch Owen his preferred brand of drinks. However, upon entering the kitchen, he was greeted by Samantha, a broad smile adorning her face."Any security breaches to handle or m
"You're always the main character, and we can only assume and taste such a role when you're away. But this time, there's a lot happening in the law firm, and it'll consume not just me and them, but you as well," Owen said, his voice filled with a mixture of exhaustion and concern.He slowly sniffed, turning away from Harry's gaze to catch a break before continuing."The suicidal case," his voice suddenly became low, and Harry's brow knitted in surprise as he realized he was referring to Jane's case—the very same case that landed him in jail."What is all this about?" Harry managed to mutter, his confusion evident."It's not suicide," Owen raised his eyes to Harry, tears brimming in his eyes. "It's murder, Harry!"Harry gasped, his jaw dropping open, unable to form coherent words. He leaned in closer, squinting his eyes as if trying to confirm the reality of what he had just heard. Jade, too, clapped her hands over her mouth in stunned disbelief. The room fell into a heavy silence, as
The early chirping of birds in Ms. Oct's garden filled the house as she slowly trimmed her flowers. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps and the scent of strong cologne snapped her out of her task, and she turned to see her son Martin. A smile graced her lips at the sight of him; she still couldn't believe he was out of prison and within her reach."Where are you headed?" she asked, observing his attire."To visit Harry," he smiled.Ms. Oct's face quickly contorted into a frown. "What do you mean, Harry? The Luciano boy? Why on earth would you visit him?"Martin's eyes widened at his mother's words. He had hoped she would accept Harry now that he had helped him get out of prison, but he realized he had been delusional to think so."Mum!" he exclaimed. "He helped me out of prison. His attorney pleaded my innocence when your aide framed me for a crime I didn't commit," he yelled, his patience wearing thin.Ms. Oct gasped and let out a devilish chuckle. "Is that what he said to you? Is that
Samantha stood there, dumbfounded. It felt as if the world had come to a stop at that very moment. Instinctively, she took a step back, creating a distance between herself and Martin. Her heart raced, and her palms grew sweaty as she pulled away, retreating with quick, uncertain strides. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice quivering with fear.Martin's gaze remained fixed on her, his eyes unwavering, as he observed Samantha's phone start to ring. She hurriedly ended the call, still uncertain about Martin's intentions and what his next move might be. It was clear that he possessed a level of knowledge that made her uneasy."I know what you're planning," Martin began, his words hanging in the air, increasing the tension in the room. Samantha felt an inexplicable sense of dread creeping over her. "A single word from me, and Harry Luciano will ensure that you never see daylight again." A sinister smirk formed on Martin's lips as he slowly walked away from her, his movements deliber
"Choose a side," Samantha whispered desperately, her eyes darting towards the door leading to the stairs as Harry's footsteps echoed loudly."Pack it up before he arrives!" Martin commanded.Samantha swiftly grabbed the camera and her backpack, bolting into her room. Meanwhile, Martin hurriedly adjusted his clothes, moving the remote out of reach as nervousness enveloped him like a suffocating fog.He sat there, each second feeling like an eternity as he waited for Harry to arrive. He couldn't wait for Harry to come so he could apologize and express his gratitude for helping him out of jail.After a few minutes, Jade and Harry finally pushed open the door to the living room. Harry stepped inside while Jade followed closely behind.Upon seeing Martin, Harry's eyes widened in shock. "What are you doing here?" Jade asked, her voice laced with disbelief at finding Martin in their house. Harry stood frozen, feeling as though the world had come to a halt as the shock settled in. He wondered
