I spent most of my day thinking of my life and Rita’s too; all had been like a rollercoaster from the moment I saved her from that burning car until these tension days what all my faith is in God. I did almost all I could to at least go near her and rescue her but Sarah had too many subordinate people a

Miron’s storyI have to admit that there are days when I miss my performances. Apart from liking them, they kept me away from thinking about this ordeal I am going through. Sometimes I wonder if giving it another try is for the best. I arranged with Peter that I should stop by the studio but I wanted to do it alone. I had to really think this through. I needed to be around my instruments, my kind of music, and my stuff before I take that decision. And with caution also, as I don’t want people to think I put this tragedy behind me and that I have stopped trying. My fans don’t know the real reason but an important part of my staff do so I would need to do some kind of o meeting to tell them all about my plans. Peter agreed to let me think by myself so he left the studio just for me. Only ten full minutes I needed to get there. The scent of my music hit me right before the entrance. It was crazy; all those memories I had now are just put on hold as I will never allow them to vanish. As

Sarah’s storyAdam and Sarah were waiting for Bob to return from his meeting. Actually there had a lot of questions to ask him.

Rita’s storyI was longing for the day I would speak with Miron again maybe this time I could hear him too. He had to find a way to make that possible. Today we should expect Sarah to come so I asked Belle to tie me up again so she will not be in any trouble. She didn’t want to at the beginning so I kind of begged her to do it. I didn’t want Sarah to hurt her.
Against all odds And it begins
Miron’s story Too many days had passed without anything happening. It is killing me to know that Rita is still captive and we just haven’t moved forward with this investigation. It feels like I am wasting precious time while my Rita is suffering and maybe starving and poorly taken care of, especially in her condition. - Do you think this guy Bob is going to show up?- Let us hope so. We have to keep him close. Maybe we can attract him on our side.The idea sparkled in Peter’s eyes. But maybe we cannot establish anything, not by a long shot. Bob may not agree with his daughter’s actions but nevertheless, she is his daughter. So it is going to be a long way until there.- What do you mean? He is her father, he will not betray her.- Who knows? Something tells me he is not that happy that she murdered also her mother now. If in the past he covered for her it is so hard to believe he is going to do it again.- But then why do it? Why did he co

Sarah’s storySarah was really nervous to find out more about Bob’s first encounter with Miron. And she also hoped that he did a good job as a fake agent. They alone did a great job so far so it is impossible for Sara to accept that because her father came their plans are going to fail.

Sarah’s storyFeeling a little behind with the schedule Sarah summoned Adam into the kitchen to have a coffee and discuss the possibilities they had for eliminating Miron. It was a very difficult task but now they could count on Bob’s help too. Actually for what Sarah was thinking she really needed Bob to do the job. The big question was if he would do it. - What do you have in mind? You know, when you have that sparkle in your eyes I am really afraid of you.- If I inspire you fear than I suggest you shouldn’t piss me off. Anyway, I was thinking of something but we need Bob’s help more than ever. If he is willing to help us that I will surely believe he is on our team. - What do you plan to make him do?Sarah’s mind was twisted. She has learned lately that if you want the job properly done you have to do it yourself. That was what happened with Carmen but now with Miron was totally different. She wanted to involve on purpose her father so she would have s

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

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.

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.

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!
