CORA

Reign dragged me toward my car which was parked inside Lucas' compound. He snatched my bag from me, took out my keys, and opened the door.

At this point, Lucas who had been staring at Reign with a dumbfounded expression on his face, began to approach us with the reporters slowly tailing behind him and he also looked angry.

Still without saying a word to me, Reign opened the door of my car and I quietly got in. Before Lucas could get to us, Reign had already started the car and was driving out, through the gate which he had left open.

I heard Lucas scream my name but my gaze was fixed on Reign whose hands tightly held the steering. I noticed Reign's car which was parked outside Lucas' compound and wondered if he was going to leave it behind.

After driving for a while, Reign stopped the car at a quiet spot and stared at me as he asked, "Why, Cora? Aren't we a team? Shouldn't we work together in times like this? Yet what did you do? You first ran to Lucas for help.

Wow, this is serious, but luckily for Cora Reign slept in her house overnight, so that has given her an alibi cooool. I am sure Avery mum is behind this. Thank goodness that Cora has Reign in her life, else she would have given up on life. More update, please ... ...

    REIGNAfter saying goodbye to Cora, I hurried into the bathroom to freshen up but not before ordering a delicious meal for both of us.The food arrived just as I got ready to leave the house. I hurried because I did not want to keep her waiting, especially since we had so much to do before the day was over. As I drove one of my cars to her house with the food on my seat, I called my assistant to find out if he had made any progress on finding the culprit who attacked Cora earlier.He said he was still on it and promised to find the criminal before the end of the day. I asked him to set up a press conference for me at eight and invite a lot of reporters. I approached Cora's house and was surprised to see a crowd gathering in front of it. My heart began to race as I feared that the man who attacked her earlier had attacked again. How could I have left her alone?I quickly stopped my car, got down, and began heading toward her door when I spotted a police vehicle driving past me.Insid

    REIGN"Cora was framed, Dad," I immediately told my father. "But do not worry, I can take care of it.""Alright then," he replied. "Your mum and I will leave it to you. Don't hesitate to call if you need our help in any way.""I won't forget," I responded. "Thank you so much, dad."I went into the house and met the chief justice who was having tea. She invited me to join her and I took a cup out of respect."I already know why you are here," she told me."You do?" I smiled, feeling embarrassed that I hadn't kept in touch in almost two years, and finally came to her because I needed her help."When your name is all over social media, how can I not be aware?" She asked me.I sighed and observed her security detail who were all staring at me."You all can wait outside," she instructed and they all left."My lady," I began afterward. "The girl, Cora is a victim. She is innocent and has been framed."She smiled, "You must really love her to stand by her at such a time. I guess your stock p

    CORAWhile I was being transported to the station, I thought about what was happening to me. Who could hate me to this extent? When it was just my reputation being destroyed online, I had thought it was Lisa but now I wondered if she was capable of committing murder.Also, after hearing Lucas confess that he wanted me, I wondered if Avery could be responsible for framing me. However, I didn't believe Avery was capable of murder either. Yes, she was selfish but she was too cowardly to commit such a heinous crime.I couldn't trust or vouch for anybody though because people could be unpredictable. One thing was certain; whoever framed me did it because I was involved with either Lucas or Reign. Did I deserve this? I didn't think so.My only crime was loving Reign. But was it really a crime to love someone who loved me just as much? I had never thought that a time would come in my life when I would be arrested, let alone charged for murder.It was the biggest humiliation of my life. As th

    Williams Sun stared at the screen of his phone, read the viral news about Cora, and smiled. The fact that Reign was involved in the case made him so happy. He had been feeling angry ever since Lisa told him that Reign had broken up with her because it meant he no longer had access to Reign like he wanted.He decided to take advantage of the situation and wore some beards to conceal his appearance. He made a few phone calls, and afterward, drove to the home of Greg's mom.When he got there, the atmosphere was melancholic and the woman was in tears. Greg's brother and sister were also there, along with the prosecutor of the case who was speaking to them."Hello everyone," Williams greeted as he walked inside."Who are you?" The prosecutor asked him.""Someone who understands the pain this family is going through because he has once suffered something similar in the hands of the woman called Cora." He replied.His words piqued the interest of everyone and he was quickly given a seat. "D

    CORA"I would be honored," I said in reply to Olsen."In that case, I'll see you first thing tomorrow morning. Goodnight, Cora," he said before hanging up.I stared at Reign, wondering if he had anything to do with this. I knew he heard our conversation so I just stared at him with a smile.As though he could read my mind, he shook his head, "No, Cora. I had nothing to do with this. It was all you."I already felt assured because Reign had given me his word, but hearing Olsen's words was like the icing on the cake. Everyone knew he was one of the best attorneys whose clients always won their cases because of how efficient he was. How did I get so lucky?I threw myself into Reign's arms in happiness and we both hugged each other. It dawned on me that I was putting on only a towel.I gently pulled my body away from Reign's hold but couldn't look away because he was staring at me. I blushed and lowered my eyes shyly, only to realize that he had gotten a stiffy. I bit my lip as I though

  • Billionaire Series; Falling Into You   ARRAIGNMENT

    CORAI got my phone and played a video I had taken the day I went to see Lucas' grandfather. That night, when I had gone to Reign's house and saw Lisa naked, I made up my mind to do whatever it took to cut off Lucas from my life so Reign could see that I was serious about wanting to be with him.On my way to Lucas' grandfather's house, I decided to get some evidence while at it, just in case Lucas decided not to divorce me later.However, I didn't have enough money to purchase what I needed. After much thought, I called my dad.I had earlier been so upset with him that I refused to take his calls after finding out he had also deceived me into marrying Lucas.However, when Reign and I became a couple, I got over my anger. That night, I asked my dad to lend me some money. He was so eager to help because he still felt guilty.He sent me the money I needed and told me not to bother paying it back. I was able to get a small camera and hid it in my body.My entire conversation with Lucas's

    REIGNI was pleasantly surprised when Cora told Olsen that she'd never been very intimate with any man.Although she never said anything about her past relationships except being deceptively made Lucas' wife, I had assumed that she had dated someone in high school or college and probably done the deed.I was even more happy that I was yet to take that step with her. It was a good thing that I decided to wait for her to be disentangled from Lucas before taking our relationship to another level.I could tell that Cora was uncomfortable with discussing this part of her life with Olsen and in front of me, nevertheless, I could not hide the wide smile on my face.I understood what Olsen meant when he said her being a virgin changed everything. Even without any other evidence, it was enough to prove she did not have any relationship with Greg and as such, he could not have been blackmailing her.I was still waiting for the private investigator I had hired to get back to me. He was the most c

    CORAReign's house suddenly felt extremely big, after he left. Just like he instructed, I locked the doors and went into his bedroom.I was still shaken up by the attack from Greg's mom and those outside the court. Once again, I had Reign's love and sharp thinking to thank for it.Emily called me at this time and asked, "Are you okay? Why didn't you tell me that your arraignment was today?"I sighed, "I guess I didn't want you to worry. The public will make you their enemy if they find out you are on my side. Reign is already suffering for it and it makes me so guilty, even though he can handle it.""And you think I can't handle it?" She asked."It's not that you can't. I just don't want you to go through that. I believe I will be acquitted so you can come to the trial. Things would calm down after the trial.""Tell me your address, I want to come and see you." She said."Didn't you hear any of what I just said?" I asked. "Let's leave it until everything is settled.""No," she insiste

    MIRANDA The expression on the faces of everyone turned into shock. Seeing that I looked serious, the lady at the counter said, "Calm down, Ma'am. I will call Mr. Duke right away and inform him."At this point, a man walked up to the counter. From the way he was dressed and the way all the employees at the counter greeted him respectfully, I could tell he was a prominent figure.One of the employees picked up a card from a bunch on the counter and handed it to the man, saying, "Here's an invitation to the boss' launch party tonight. It's mandatory to show up with the invitation, sir."The man smiled and accepted the invitation card, saying, "Thank you, I will surely be at the party."As the man turned and began to walk away, I stared at the heap of cards and thought, "So that arrogant man is throwing a party, huh? I wonder how he would react if I gate crashed it. Would he send me back home just as I want?"I suddenly became excited as I thought about what I could do at the party."I'm

    MIRANDA My so called husband stared at me in shock and scoffed, "What effrontery!""Sammy, what are you still doing? Throw this piece of trash out of my house before I lose it."I rolled my eyes, "As if I want to be here! You must be crazy upstairs, which explains why you can't speak without raising your voice, old man. Pick on someone your own size and news flash, I would be more than happy to leave this place."A few other domestic staff had arrived at this point and they were all staring in surprise. The man looked at me in shock as though he could not believe I was speaking to him.He began to approach me and at this point, one of the domestic staff ran and stood in front of me. She seemed a little older than me and was beautiful too.Sammy tried to speak to him but he pushed him away. I folded my arms, feeling so happy that he wanted me gone. When he got close to me, the girl in front refused to budge. The man stared at her in surprise and it made me wonder who she was."Who the

    MIRANDA I had no idea what was going on there but seeing the look on the faces of my family members, I got an uncomfortable feeling. The woman was about to speak, possibly to explain whatever the hell was going on, however, I did not give her the time to do so.I couldn't go through the back because my mum was right behind me, so, I passed the woman and bolted out the door. I stood outside briefly, and came up with an idea; rather than to Collins, I would run to my cousin's for the time being, until I understood what was going on. I heard footsteps behind me and began to run without looking back."Please, don't abandon us when we need you the most," I heard a familiar voice and stopped.My mom walked up to me and turned me so I could face her. Tears kept falling from her eyes as she cried, "Please, Mira. Go with the woman and do whatever she says. This is the only thing I have ever asked of you.""That's a lie, mom," I replied. "You've asked me to do a lot of things over the years. T

    MIRANDA I stared at Collins' departing figure and thought, "You'll change your mind once I get back, Collins."I continued running to the road to get a cab. I could not stop worrying that something had happened to my dad. My mom didn't seem like the patient when I heard her voice earlier. My elder brother, Sean, was strong and athletic so it could not be him also. This left me with my dad who had poor health from smoking when he was young and becoming hypertensive after we lost my sister. Once I got to the front of my house, I saw my mum pacing up and down. She stared at me in shock when she saw the way I was dressed. I had initially left through the back and planned to return through it because I wasn't allowed to wear such skimpy clothes and with good reason."Why are you dressed like a prostitute?" She asked angrily as she grabbed my arm and tried to wipe off the makeup on my face. She completely ruined it but that was the least of my problems."Mom, what happened?" I asked anxiou

    MIRANDAI stared at my reflection in the mirror and nodded in approval. I looked really sexy in the short, black dress I had on. There was no way Collins would not go crazy if he saw me looking so hot.He had been my boyfriend for three years in high school and now we were both in our first year in the same college. However, he sent a breakup text to me last night.I couldn't find him all day in school but I learned about the party that would take place in his house. Even though I wasn't invited, I intended to gatecrash the party and give him the one thing he had been asking for.My constant refusal over the years was the same reason why he broke up with me but I loved him too much to let him go. If having sex with him was what I had to do to keep him, then I was getting laid tonight. I arrived at Collins' house a few minutes past six and saw that the party was in full swing. His family was well-to-do, so hosting a party such as that was a piece of cake for him, especially when his pa

It was the only way I could convince her that I really loved her.In the days that followed, I was forced to get along with Clay, who also seemed to have become very sad.
