Emilia and her husband were both Sitting in the garden, they seemed to be having a serious conversation when Nick walked up to them.“Hey baby” his mum said, “I thought you were already asleep”“No mum, l can’t sleep,” Nick answered sincerely.“Come, sit”He sat in between them then placed his head on his mother’s shoulder,“What’s wrong son?” Winston asked in a concerned tone.“I am scared mum”“Why?” Ever since they got United, this was the first time she saw fear in the eyes of her son. It was a different kind of fear that none of them could fathom and with the way his body was shaking, she understood he was pretty scared.“Talk to us son”“I am afraid that a day will come that I will no longer have any human sympathy left. I am scared that a day will come when all the humanity in me will be replaced with nothing but ruthlessness”Emilia understood why he was feeling like that and she had only two persons to blame for that. Her sister made a mockery of the bond of family and now h
Just like yesterday, the courtroom was filled to capacity and as the judge entered, everyone stood up as a sign of respect.“We may begin” he announced through his microphone and Damian Wang stood up. He was specifically dressed in a dark green suit and people believed that anytime he wore that color for a Case, he was bound to win.“As we all know, this case was presented in court yesterday and we fought it out but we didn’t come to a conclusion. Today my lord, I will like to request this honorable court to pass a judgment already in favor of my clients because they have proved themselves clear of all charges”The prosecutor stood up, he had a smirk on his face and how Damian wanted to smack it off of his face.“My lord, I think the defense attorney is rather rushing into conclusions when we have only just started this case”“How do you mean prosecutor?” The judge inquired“Since we all watched Mr Caesar's video and the defense countered it, he has appeared in court today and would l
“After listening to both sides, i have finally come up with a decision”This was the part everyone has been dreading especially the furgessons, even the whole nation was quiet. Will justice prevail or will corruption win? This was the question on everyone’s lips as they await the verdict of the judge.“After carefully examining the evidences and witnesses, I hereby declare that the defendants are guilty as charged”Yes, this was it. The moment everyone has been waiting for, the moment of truth. While a group of people began celebrating immediately, Gregroy and his wife dropped their heads in shame. Even in the end, Nick still won without doing much work.“I told you” Nick whispered to his face and he glanced at Alvanon for a split second. For the first time, he could see a look of defeat on his face and nothing could be more satisfying than seeing all his enemies at their lowest.“For the charge of embezzlement and theft of public property, they are hereby fined the sum of twenty mil
The moment the jail door closed behind them, Emilia burst into tears. Tears more painful than the one she was shedding in the courtroom. The pain of losing to Nick made her feel less of herself. The way she was betrayed by even her lawyer made her so mad.“This is the height of betrayal” Gregory muttered to himself as he lowered himself on the tiny bed. Just a few days and he looked like a shadow of his former self. The man who used to command respect now looked so weak and frail, even the eye bags under his eye made him look very terrible.Finally they were both eating the fruit of this labor and it was a hard bitter one at that.“Greg” Emilia rushed towards him, “we have to do something,anything at all to get out of this hellhole. We can’t stay here forever” she sounded so desperate but Gregroy was not listening to her, he was also lost in his own world. The world he failed to protect.“Gregory” his wife prodded him again and he immediately jolted back to reality, “are you even list
Damian was just about to enter his car when a black cloth came over his face and he was bundled away, his passport and flight ticket lay bare on the ground.He kept struggling as the car drove away but even at that, he couldn’t outsmart his abductors and in the end, a gun to the head and he lost consciousness.A bucket of cold water was thrown all over his body and Damian Wang immediately regained consciousness to find himself strapped to a chair with ropes. Looking around, the room was filled with some rough looking men and In front of him was a woman seated…..Nessa?“It’s good to have you back attorney wang, I didn’t think you would wake up seeing the way blood was sipping out of the wound on your head.“What did you do?” Damian hissed. He knew the furgessons would come for revenge but he didn’t know it would be so soon, he was supposed to be on the flight to the Bahamas by now, “I didn’t know you were more crazy than your brother” he added.A slap turned his face away instantly, “ a
“What?” Damian Wang could not believe his ears. Alvanon wanted him to sue Nick for bribery and forgery?But how could he do that?“You heard me right, attorney. The day you decided to work for Nick, you became an accomplice in his scheme and you will be the one to bring him down for me”“You know that’s almost impossible right?how can I do that?”Alvanon flared up, “no one is asking you to do that attorney. It is an order and you will do that and it’s final. If you had the guts to go against one furgesson then you have the guts to go against the other, do you hear me?” He had the inkling to smash something into his head but he refrained himself, “you should start thinking of a way out already, I don’t have all the time in the world for your nonsense”Damian finally understood that this was one insane family and he was already regretting getting linked with them, if only he knew from the get go he would have refused Nick.“You should do what you are told if you don’t want your family to
It was another morning and Caesar, who was just coming out of the police station after recording his statement, walked over to his car, the minute he opened the door a loud bang was heard and he fell down in the pool of his own blood.Everyone became alarmed, while a group of police officers tried looking for where the gunshot came from; others tried getting him to the hospital.By the time the ambulance reached the hospital, he had already lost a lot of blood and the doctors immediately set to work.………….Nick who just came downstairs from his room put on the television to watch the business news but an important breaking news came on the screen.“Breaking news” a female reporter announced, “just outside the police station about an hour ago, the victim which has been identified to be ceaser Ramirez. One of the key persons in the case of Gregory furgesson was gunned down by an unidentified person and he was rushed to the hospital “Nick immediately shot out of the chair and he immed
“Sir, a document just arrived for you” Ashley handed him the envelope and left while Nick opened it.It was a piece of the court papers that Damian had prepared and yet to be submitted in court.“Hmm” he wasn’t in the least surprised, he just kept smirking as he read through it.“What is that?” April asked when she entered the living room and saw her husband reading something with keen interest.“Proposed court documents” Nick replied casually, his eyes still skimming through the papers.April sat beside him and also ran her eyes through the papers, then a grim look appeared on her face. Was Damian biting them in the back now?“Is that Damian a betrayal?” She couldn’t help but ask.“Of court we know who did this April, Alvanon must have gotten his hands on him”Then it dawned on her,it was only Alvanon who was brave enough to do something so stupid.“It seems that brother of yours needs to be taught a lesson and a good one at that” she rolled her eyes as she spoke. To her he was a spe
