After the meeting was over Cassandra left the company in anger and returned back home fuming. “Welcome home my child how was the meeting?” Claudia asked but when she saw the angry look on her daughter’s face, she knew that the meeting had not gone well.“What’s wrong my child, did something happen?”Cassandra dropped her hand bag aggressively on the couch “It’s that stupid woman!!”“What woman are you talking about?”Cassandra frowned at her mother “Don’t you know the woman who is a thorn in my flesh”“Oh, are you referring to Nuella? Claudia sat down on one of the couch and folded her legs.“Yes it’s her!! Stop acting like you don’t know who I’m talking about!! That woman went too far today!!” She fumed “What did she do or rather what did you say to her because I know you very well”Cassandra clenched her fist hard and gritted her teeth “You dare to take her side even before knowing what happened!!”Claudia sighed in exhaustion “You just returned and you already made my brain exhau
Nuella was in complete shock as she watched the CCTV footage near the orphanage building. Her eyes were fixed on the screen as she witnessed the heartbreaking moment when the building was demolished, trapping the people inside.“Oh my God!!” She screamed, unable to contain her horror, tears streaming down her face.Oliver gently took the tablet from her trembling hand and held her tightly in his arms. "Shh, it's okay," he comforted.“It’s not okay!!” She shouted at him, a rare display of anger stemming from the sheer horror of what she had just witnessed.Oliver understood the depth of her distress. No one could witness such a tragedy and remain unaffected.“I’m sorry,” he murmured, drawing her close to his chest and gently patting her back.“I never signed any document approving the demolition of those buildings,” Nuella declared with a shaky voice.“I know, I promise to find out who did it,” Oliver assured her, determined to uncover the truth.Nuella moved away from his embrace and
The following dayAfter saying good bye to Alicia who was clueless of what was happening, Nuella left the house with Oliver to the general police station for questioning. Outside the police station they met families of those with disabilities and friends of some of the orphans outside the police station protesting for her to be arrested.In their hands wrere cardboard papers which contains her name and written words that says “Arrest Nuella Armstrong” Nuella was as calm as ever but Oliver still held her closely to himself as they stepped out of the car.About 20 of their bodyguards protected them as they walked into the police station.The protesters threw eggs and tomatoes towards her but were all blocked by the bodyguards using an umbrella.Oliver protected his dearest wife until they were inside the office of the police commander.They both sat on the couch in the office while the guards protected the door.Oliver scanned his eyes around the office and saw a camera. The commissio
After coming into an agreement, the following day, Nuella was going to be taken to the women's prison.Cassandra was in so much of a good mood after hearing that Nuella will be taken to the women's cell and would be there until the court trial is over. She did not want to miss seeing Nuella being taken to jail, so she disguised herself and went to the police station.Cassandra was in the back of a taxi with a scarf. The taxi was parked across the police station building. While in the taxi she saw how Nuella was handcuffed and was being taken to the prison vehicle. She smiled in satisfaction, this was just the first step, she will do all she can to make sure that Nuella stays in jail after the court case.She had planned all this perfectly and there is no way they will find evidence that will prove her innocence.She felt at ease now that Nuella was out of the way, Oliver would now be in his fragile state and she would use it to her advantage.Cassandra saw Oliver standing a distance a
Alicia played with her breakfast, not willing to eat anymore. She has only eating half of it and has refused to eat more.This made Rosa and the other maids worry.“Cia” Rosa calledAlicia raised her head and looked at Rosa who was giving her a pleading look.“Why are you not eating dear”“Can’t finish it”“Why don’t you eat just a bit more, you father will soon be down and he will not be happy if he gets to see that you are barely eating”Rosa was speaking and did not notice when Oliver walked into the dining area.“Just let her be Rosa” Oliver spoke, making Rosa immediately raise her head and look towards the entrance.Rosa and the other maids bowed their heads as they greeted him.He nodded his head to their greeting before walking towards his daughter. He bent down to her level and touch her dark hair “Good morning to mg adorable princess”“Good morning daddy”He kissed her forehead and looked at her in the eye “What’s wrong”“I miss mommy” she pouted “Mommy will be back before y
Even in prison she had the freedom to do all she wanted to do. There was a smart tv, a smart phone to call who she wants to call and other kinds of luxury that one doesn’t get in a prison. The only freedom Nuella doesn’t have is the freedom to go where she wants to go. Staying in this place will help her better plan what she was about to do to Cassandra who dared to double cross her and try to look good in the public eye.While she was pacing around her luxury cell, the iron door of her cell was being opened from outside making her stop and turn towards the door. She hoped and prayed that they were here to tell her that she had a visitor and the person was Oliver. Just a night in cell already made her miss him so much including their child.The door opened and the person that walked in was Oliver. Nuella rushed towards him excitedly and wrapped her hands around him and even jumped in his arms like a kid. Oliver’s heart felt warm when he saw how cheerful she was. On his way here, he w
The judge arrived and everyone in the courtroom stood up and only sat down after the judge did.The court hearing was being broadcast live on tv and on the internet. Everyone was watching right from their place of work or at home. Why it was live broadcasted was because they wanted to make sure that the Armstrong's and the Haywood’s didn't manipulate the case since they had a lot of power and influence to do so.The public wanted the case to go well and to be fair and square, also no cheating.Nuella had sat at the front roll beside her two lawyers who were handling the case while across from them was where the prosecutors were seated.She was asked to take the witness stand and was made to swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth while placing her hand on the Holy scriptures.Soon the prosecutor stood up and walked towards her.“Mrs Haywood could you please tell this court where you were on the 6th of last month”“At the Armstrong Headquarters”“Doing what?”“My job, I’m th
Prosecutor Kim was shocked when he heard what Lawyer Song said. If there was any evidence he should have already heard about it by now, so what evidence was he talking about?The audience whispered amongst themselves and wondered which evidence because if there was evidence then Mrs Haywood would have not remained in jail.“Silence!!” The court deputy said to make everyone quiet.The judge relaxed his back on his executive chair “Then where is the evidence?” The judge asked Lawyer Kim went back to his desk and brought out a file and a device.Cassandra's eyes widened when she saw that there was indeed evidence. What exactly will be contained in that file that will help reveal the truth? She was sure to have covered her tracks very well and made sure nothing was found.“We are in the era of technology so as such there is nothing that technology can not do. In my hands is a device invented in Japan, this device can be used to detect fake documents and signatures.The crowd whispered am
