Against all odds Condemning the past
Sarah’s storyHe hangs up the phone right at Sarah’s door. She managed to hear though with whom he was talking about. It was Miron for sure at the end of the line. Sarah remained like a stone, immobilized, she could not breathe properly; she could even hear her heartbeat. It was like an irregular drumbeat echoing in the whole room and in her ears. Adam was stupidly happy about his visit. Eventually Sarah swallowed the knot from her throat and mouths something.- What the hell are you doing here?- Oh, but Sarah this isn’t the way to welcome your father, now is it?If looks could kill Adam would have been long dead. He had the nerve to bring this man here, the man who ruined her life from the very beginning; the man that literally spat on her existence and forced her to make the most sinful of the sins, murder. And not just any murder, but one that ended what could have been a beautiful friendship. Because in her madness, deep inside Sarah admitted that being neighbor

Sarah’s storyThe tension between the two of them was almost breathable. Sarah haven’t seen her father for years and now he came out of nowhere, threatened by Adam as Sarah could understand to help them get rid of Miron Hauser. She was almost certain that maybe it was better to have acted only her and Belle. Belle never betrayed her. She did some odd things but she didn’t betray her. As we speak she was keeping an eye on Rita. Sarah trusted Belle not knowing that she was betrayed in the worst kind of way. Giving the circumstances Belle was better off with Rita that with those three dangerous people. When they no longer need her she will as good as dead.But for now this is a part that both of the women ignore. They have better things to do right now then to get spying on one another.

There was now room for regrets and there was no time to feel any
Against all odds Plotting revenge
Sarah’s storyIt was a busy day for the three of them. They had to research all that it was to research about Miorn Hauser so they would think of a strategy to gain his trust. If one wouldn’t know better you would say Bob really enjoyed playing the detective; but in fact he hated helping his daughter do another bad thing. It was hard for him to admit that he was the blame for how Sarah turned out. He felt like it was his fault for the way he raised her, for the days he was absent and for the lost time chasing after impossible loves. But now he has to dance the way Sarah sings, because despite the atrocities she had made she was still the daughter he loved. - So what do we have so far?Sarah’s voice was so natural and genuine that one could swear barely something happened between the two of them. - Based on the internet this man is very talented…- I really don’t care, Bob, just mind on what task I gave you.- Ok, ok no need to jump like that.

Against all odds A new agent
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

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.

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.

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!
