Billionaire Series; Falling Into You TRIAL (ONE)
CORAThe hours leading up to my trial day were very busy for me as I had meetings with Olsen and visited my father at the new hospital Reign moved him to.He improved a little and no longer had to be on oxygen which was a source of relief to me.The day of the trial finally came and as we arrived at the court, many cameras were flashed at me by reporters. No one was allowed to get close to me because Reign had hired more than enough men to keep all the reporters away.I walked into the court and the presence of Reign's family caught my attention. His dad, mum, sister and aunt were all present. They stared at me with looks that said, 'You got this' and I smiled gratefully at them.I noticed my best friend, Emily who waved at me as Reign led me to the front. Once I took my seat, Emily came from behind and sat at my back.I turned and smiled at her before turning my attention back to the front. I was optimistic because everything seemed to be in my favor, however, I could not stop rememb

CORAWith tears in her eyes, Judith began, "Greg was my elder brother. He took care of all of us when our father died. He was just fifteen years old at the time and my younger brother and I didn't have much going for us.My mom's health wasn't good so Greg dropped out of school and funded our education until we graduated college. To us, Greg was everything. I know he wasn't a saint, I know he had his excesses, but he was the best brother and the best son anyone could ever ask for.That is who you took from this world, Cora." When she said the last sentence, her voice was louder and she turned her attention to me as tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes."Why did you have to kill him? I want justice. You have to pay for the murder of my brother."She broke down in tears at this point and her mum began to cry loudly too. I could hear sympathetic noises from those in the audience but I did not look away from Judith. I kept staring at her as she cried.The prosecuting counsel reached ou

CORAHearing the things the prosecuting counsel said about me made me feel very uncomfortable, even though I wasn't hearing them for the first time. I could feel Reign's anger as his muscles tensed and his gaze remained on the prosecutor even after the latter had taken his seat.The judge asked Olsen to proceed and he got up and said, "My client, Miss Cora Gilbert has been insulted, questioned, and even called an immoral woman. Are all of these allegations true? Let us find out.I would first of all like to call the man who is believed to be Cora's husband; Lucas Grey into the witness box."At this point, Lucas came in from outside and began making his way to the witness box. I could not help but wonder what he was going to say.Although there was a plan to expose him if he tried to lie, I genuinely hoped he would tell the truth. However, I knew he would face backlash afterward. He could even be sued by the marriage court if they decided to make an example of him.Once he got to the
Billionaire Series; Falling Into You TRIAL (FOUR)
REIGN The court was very silent as everyone seemed surprised by Lucas' statement including me. I could also see the look of shock on Cora's face as she stared at him.Meanwhile, Olsen had an almost invisible smile on his face. I didn't know what he did to make Lucas say the things he said but I was very glad that he was the attorney representing Cora.I was looking forward to the reaction of Netizens who claimed to be fighting for Lucas and had been calling Cora all sorts of names. I planned to make an example of them once the trial came to an end.Lucas may have told some lies, but he still stuck to the basic truth, which was what mattered most. Even the prosecuting counsel seemed so surprised that when Lucas got out of the witness box and the judge asked him if he would cross-examine him, the prosecutor said no.Olsen quickly called for his next witness and I saw Lisa walk into the courtroom and head for the witness stand. She chose to make an affirmation and afterward, Olsen said
Billionaire Series; Falling Into You TRIAL (FIVE)
CORAI got into the witness box, raised my right hand, and made an affirmation. I felt calm and at ease, probably because of how everything had turned out so far.Without wasting any time, Olsen said to me, "Miss Cora, tell us about your relationship with the late Gregory Sampson.""I have no relationship with him," I replied immediately. "How could I have a relationship with someone I never knew? The first time I ever heard his name was the day I was arrested and charged with his murder. Needless to say, it was the most shocking day of my life."Olsen nodded, "I see. But how come there are pictures of the both of you naked and lying intimately in bed?""I have no idea who the girl in that picture is," I replied. "My face may have been photoshopped into it but that is not my body. It is not even possible for a picture of me and a naked guy in bed to exist because I am a virgin.I have never been intimate with a man in my entire life before and it shouldn't be hard for anyone to find o
Billionaire Series; Falling Into You TRIAL (SIX)
CORAFrom the look on Olsen's face, it was obvious that he did not care about what Greg's brother wanted to say.I got out of the witness box, walked back to my seat, and held Reign's hand just like I did before. We looked at each other briefly and he whispered into my ears, "You did good, Angel."I smiled at him while the young boy got into the witness box, raised his right hand, and took an oath. Afterward, the judge gestured to the prosecuting counsel who seemed displeased by what was about to happen.The boy's mother and sister were staring at him, probably wondering what he was about to say and why he had kept silent all this while. "What do you intend to tell this honorable court?" The prosecutor asked him."It was a year ago," the boy began to narrate. "I visited Greg and while we ate, he kept staring at his phone. I got curious and joined him to see what he was looking at. It was a picture of a beautiful girl. She was tall, had long legs, and stood on a runway with a smile on
Billionaire Series; Falling Into You JUST ME AND YOU
REIGNWhen he was done speaking, Olsen sat down and the court became quiet with everyone waiting for the judge to speak.A few minutes later, the judge instructed that the court go on a fifteen-minute recess and walked out of the court afterward.I noticed that Cora at this time was being hugged by Emily and I turned my attention to Olsen. "Thank you," I said to him.He smiled, "You're welcome, Mr. Fletcher. You all can wait outside until the fifteen minutes are up. The prosecution and I have something minor to sort out."I spotted my parents who were walking out of the court at this time, with Cora and Emily following behind them.Once we got outside, my mom hugged Cora who was surrounded by Tiffany, Paris, and Emily.My dad patted my back and said, "I'm proud of you Reign. At this point, everyone knows what the verdict will be. You worked really hard to support your love and that's very important if the both of you intend to spend the rest of your life together.""Of course we do,"
Billionaire Series; Falling Into You YOU'RE PERFECT
CORADuring the drive back home, I kept stealing glances at Reign, wondering if he had earlier heard my conversation with Emily. I felt so embarrassed just thinking about it, but at the same time, I was excited. Reign wanted us to spend time with each other without anyone's interruption. What could he have in mind?I had nothing to worry about anymore, except where I was going to live of course. After hearing that Greg's dead body had been left on the couch in my house, thinking about going back there made me feel very disturbed.The company had given me that apartment thanks to Reign's recommendation. How could I now tell him that I wanted to move my things out of there?"What are you thinking about?" Reign's voice suddenly interrupted my thoughts.""You," I blurted out with a smile.He chuckled, "You're thinking about me while I'm here and your brows are furrowed? It must be about something I did wrong.""Far from it," I replied. "In my eyes, you are perfect, Reign. I was just think

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
Billionaire Series; Falling Into You I WILL GO
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
Billionaire Series; Falling Into You LIAR
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
