Against all odds Confessions
Sarah & AnnabelleThere would be a lot of damage this duo is going to make, or at least that is what Sarah thinks that she would get help from Annabelle in her diabolical plans to make Miron Hauser and his friend disappear forever. Today they will meet at Sarah’s apartment to discuss all the details. L
Against all odds Making plans
Myron’s storyThree more weeks had passed and Peter and Jack were out of the hospital. It was a thrilling day. I arranged for them to come live at my place during recovery. They were both fine but they needed a few days of peace and quiet; and what better place to do this than my house?Today I wanted to cook for them. I haven’t
Against all odds Mother instinct
Miron’s storyHow could she have the nerve to call here most of all when she knew how much pain she provoked me? This is my problem with trusting people and then I get disappointed.
Against all odds Big news
Miron’s storyIn the last two days, my mind was only on the phone call Belle gave. I could not eat, I could not sleep and certainly, I could not think of anything else than Rita. What would that „help” mean? I haven’t left the house since then. I was starin
Against all odds Belle the ally
Miron’s storyMy head was spinning so hard that I had to ask again.- - She is expecting what?- - Not what, but who? Your child. That is why she was being sick.Suddenly I forgot the grudge I was feeling for Belle and I lifted her from the floor and spin her in an act of pure happiness. Never in my life I have experienced such a huge joy. It was like my body was floating and I could not touch the ground anymore.- - Are you sure?- - Miron, we made a pregnancy test. It was positive.- - We have to get her out of there. She and definitely her baby…our baby…will not last for long.- - I agree, but we have to take it easy. Sarah is not an idiot. She will move everything just to hurt Rita. I will never understand where that much hatred.- - She didn’t tell you, did she?- - Tell me what? Is there anything more?- - Belle, all I am asking you is to take good care of Rita and my unborn child you are all I have
Against all odds Digging deeper
Rita’s storyThe way Sarah slapped Belle hurt even me. But grabbing my hair like that and pull me away that was humiliation.
Against all odds Sharing the good news
Miron’s story- - Oh my God, but this is serious, Miron. We should call the police. If that woman fulfills her threat she could kill both Rita and your baby. And who knows, maybe even Belle for betraying her. - - If Sarah realizes even a little bit that Belle is helping me she would definitely kill her, I have no doubt about it.- - That is why I told you to call the police.- - This would be the normal thing to do, but I don’t want to endanger Rita and my baby. If the police find where she is keeping them they will act in force and who knows what might happen during their operation.- - Maybe you have a point. And if we are not going to involve the police what is going to be out next step?- - First, we will let Jack a few days to recover and then I will call him and ask him to prepare me a microphone and put it on Belle.- - Did she agree with that?- - She did.- - You keep telling me things about her
Against all odds It is about to start
Miron’s storyAs soon as I left Gloria’s house, Corrine called saying that she finished what she had to do so she wanted to meet me.

She waved just as she saw me entering so I waved back hea

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?
Against all odds Proving more
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
Against all odds Demonstration
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.
Against all odds Draw your own conclusions, gentlemen!
Miron's storySarah's lawyer smashed Darla with the last question, but now it was Michael's turn and I knew he would calm her down. Then followed that indisputable evidence that even the jurors could not ignore. Sarah will definitely have a surprise.Michael had already been invited to question the witness. Darla was a little calmer.Miss Darla, please tell us, what did you see from the yard of your house, being next door to the defendant?That they always have quarrels and Bob almost all the time insulted his wife, including his children.Who is Bob? And how would you describe him?
Against all odds Everywhere and nowhere
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.
Against all odds Miron to the stand
Miron's storyYesterday passed quickly. As we had agreed, we cooked together and fell asleep faster than we expected. Rita was really tired but they didn't need her today, so she just accompanied me. I still tried to get her to stay home to rest but she flatly and elegantly refused me.Love, my place is next to you for better or worse. I promise if I start to feel unwell I'll ask Peter to bring me home.Okay, I'll take your word for it. Shall we go?Let's go.It didn't take us ten minutes to get to court. Michael, as usual, was waiting for us in the hall. We were invited in and the same protocol
Against all odds Sarah's end is near, I can feel it!
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!
