I have waited like forever until Belle came back with the news I was waiting all day. Although something inside me was telling me that Miron was not dead. I was agitated all day long but now I am calmer. Before leaving Belle loosened up a little the grip of the rope with which I was tied to my hands. Anyway, Sarah was missing again and we didn’t kno

Rita’s storyFrom the very moment Sarah left happy with her stupid news, I thanked God that Belle came quite quickly and deliver me the stupendous telling the in fact Miron was very much alive. He and Peter were recuperating little by little. Now I have other things to worry about and that is how to convince Sarah to let me live. She is very angry with all this and happy at the same time that she has no reason to keep me around. And for that, I just need one way or another to talk to Adam even if the idea does not suit me very well. It makes me no pleasure what so ever but I am aware that he is my only chance. All I am hoping was that he has something else on her now with Bob dead. For approaching Adam I need Belle. She has done this before she called him once to talk to me I am sure she can do it again.- Belle, I really need your help, friend. I don’t know what to do I am desperate. You know that now Sarah has no real reason to keep me alive.- I am afraid I know.

Belle’s storyAs soon as we ended up talking Belle hurried outside and somehow look for Adam. The fact is that if she would find him she would have first avoided Sarah as she might be visiting him too and in the end convince him that is in his best interest to come to talk to Rita.

Miron’s storyAnother day has passed and still no sign of Rita. I just hope she managed to talk to Adam in time. I proposed myself to call Corrine over and talk a bit about Adams’s behavior maybe I can understand him a little. He said on one hand that he loves Rita and on the other Bob dies and suddenly he doesn’t care. Corrine came really quickly and we started to talk. - It is so nice to see you again, Miron. How are you doing?I was mesmerized by the care she showed me. She was a really good and reliable friend. - I am fine, still recuperating but fine. At least I lost the walking stick. - Well that is a good sign. But why this meeting? You didn’t tell me on the phone.- I want you to make me a profile on Adam Oakland.- A profile? What for?- Adam if you ask me seems to be two faced. You know how he tricked us back in Bali and also here, when Rita and I had that fight?- When he drugged her, right?- Exactl

Rita’s storyThis waiting and thinking of Adam are killing my nerves. What does he have to think so much? He even went to another room if we can call it a room. We haven’t moved from this house but not at least it is not windy anymore.From time to time I was glancing at Belle but we didn’t talk as he could hear us but my eyes were asking her. She would shrug. Eventually, Adam came to join us.- So Rita, to tell you something. Maybe it will get you stunned maybe not. I hate Sarah too. The only reason I came here in the first place was you. When I heard she kidnapped you I have to admit at first I was thinking about what I could have gained from this situation but then I realized Sarah can’t be trusted.- Well we agree on that. But when? When did you figure this out?- To be honest, when she killed her mother. I thought if she took her life so easily in cold blood without any second thoughts I backed out. If she could kill her own flesh and blood then there wi

Adam’s storyAdam just knew from the very beginning that Sarah at some point was capable of betrayal and revenge while she was at it. Now that Bob is dead he would have to insure himself somehow. One day when Bob came to visit him he had like a premonition that something was not going to work according to plan so he had to confess. And he did, in a way Adam went straight to Bibury her home village. Bob told him that there was someone in the village that knows all the villagers secrets but could not tell them. He wouldn’t tell me the name or the person as he doesn’t want to make troubles for that particular person. It was not hard to figure this out. Only one man has secrets and has no way in telling them and that would be the priest of the village. He had never been to Bibury but he must admit that it was a really beautiful settling. All was so picturesque and so hard to believe that such awful things had happened here. The priest was easy to find but now he had to convince him that

Miron's story After one year… Hey, Noah, look what Daddy has here. Your favorite toy. Let's see where Mommy is. Rita was in the small garden she had set up in our backyard right next to the pool. She loved to grow and care for flowers. She had roses of all colors, peonies, and many tulips. She adored them and it seemed like little Noah too because since he saw her he started moving his little hands and feet. He was adorable. Let's see what Mommy is doing here. Rita was bent over the peonies and I intentionally pushed her a little and she fell on the wet ground. Noah began to laugh so hard with his tiny mouth that I was beg
Against all odds Has the jury reached a verdict?
Miron's storyToday Sarah was going to have a big surprise. The court had summoned her brother to testify. And besides, there's a second T-shirt sprinkled with Jenna's blood. Jack led us to it and from there to its analysis and the establishment that it belonged to Sarah was just one step.People were resuming their seats on the benches. The atmosphere, I didn't know why it was tenser. Maybe because the weather was darker outside. It wasn't long before Sarah was brought in and we then heard the echo of the bailiff's voice.All rise! The honorable judge Stone!We all rose as we always did. The feeling was still strange. Something was going to happen today, I was more and more sure of it. Even Michael mentioned to me that
Against all odds Who had the defendant killed?
Miron's storyJohn Maxwell came frightened through the benches right to the witness box, looking in all directions as if waiting for something to happen to him. I was really sorry to know him like that, to look at him and see that he has no defense.The fear was also that he had not seen the light of day in years, the taste of freedom probably since he entered that hospital. Of course, there were walks in the hospital yard but it was not the same.Like scared, he took the oath and took his seat. Again the defense had no questions. I can say that we were lucky that the lawyer didn't know the people and thus the time was shortened and it could only be in our favor.John, please tell us, who you are most afraid of?

Miron's storyAnd so the first bomb fell. We all watched Mandy dance with the baseball bat as if it were the most normal thing in the world. And that T-shirt that was presented and accepted as evidence in the file, was all my delight. From time to time I looked at Sarah, who could no longer find her seat in the chair next to her lawyer. I could say with all my heart that it was the final blow given to this criminal.The orthopedist managed to convince everyone that Sarah at the age of adolescence could easily have handled that bat and I would go even further and say that he also convinced the jurors. Their grimaces suggested many things and not exactly in favor of the defendant.Yesterday seemed to pass just as fast and today it was Father Maxwell’s turn to give statements. He had been summoned two days ago. The momen

Miron's storyThe whole room was already silent and everyone was waiting for Michael's answer. The answer was delayed but maybe he was preparing his ground. That was exactly what he did. He turned on one foot facing the jurors and then to the judge and with a sigh announced the expert's entry.Your Honor, I contradict the lawyer's words, and not only me but also the orthopedic doctor William Dale, also an occasional baseball player, in his free time but enough to tell us how things are. I know it was not quoted but I could not prove otherwise that the bat can be easily handled by a 15-year-old child.

Miron's storyThe days started to go by so fast that we don't even have time to breathe. Today, Rita's aunt, Darla, was called to the witness box. She came to us first. I offered to come and get her, but she refused. It was clear that she was nervous, but she would have to get over it and tell Sarah's relationship with both her parents and her sister, Lucy, in great detail.But she was very happy when she saw Rita again. They hadn't seen each other in years so they cried and hugged for minutes. They talked about Lucy, how much she loved life and how much she loved Rita. It's just that fate has been very hostile to them.Miron, Rita, I'm scared! It hurts so much to talk about Lucy that I'm afraid of making a mistake.

Rita's storyThe prosecutor's questions hurt me extremely, but I knew I had to answer them. That's the only way I could punish Sarah. It was cruel to remember everything I went through in that warehouse and then to all the places Sarah carried me over but if that was the only way to put her behind bars then I had little choice. Even the baby had become agitated. Instinctively I put my hand on my belly as if wanting to protect him. I kind of guessed what questions would follow.Do we understand, Miss Sinclair, that the defendant here kidnapped your mother and confessed to killing her?Objection! He is misleading the witness!
