“Are you sure you know a good lawyer?” Ama asked as she dressed the four-year-old, who was stressing her out a bit. “I do.” Alison answered dryly. It's been a week, and their situation has not improved. The landlord and some tugs came to forcefully evacuate them, but Alison fought back, saying that she had a lawyer at TC law firm. Gemma would never agree to help her after everything she had done. She was a terrible mother. A mother who deserted her daughter She had even blamed her for being the cause of the problem. She just needed someone to blame, and she took it out on her poor daughter. She remembered when she had just birthed Gena, she decided to call Gemma but couldn't because of how guilty she felt, so she lied to Gemma that she had cancer, hoping to see her. Alison held Gena's hand softly, hoping Gena would help. She didn't feel good about using Gena, but Gena was her last hope. After 2 long hours, they arrived in front of the legal titan TC law firm.
Gemma listened attentively as she called her assistant. “Find everything about City X's most powerful man.” Gemma said as she wrote down everything Alison narrated. “That's all.” Alison ended after what seemed to be a long rant. “So the development plans don't have any benefits for the people.” Gemma asked one final time, just to be sure. “They are literally making a whole community ho homless for their grand hotel, it's absurd!” Alison huffed. “It's not if the occupants are properly compensated.” “That's the problem they paid only the landlords and had them evacuate occupants forcefully.” Alison chipped in angrily. “And you suspect Thao Gang for this?” Gemma asked Alison. “Yes, members of the gangs have taken it upon their self to see us out of the place.” Alison spat angrily. “Alright then, I'll investigate further and appear in court as your attorney, so don't worry.” Gemma ended as Alison's eyes sparkled with joy. Gemma stood up to see Alison off. They both got stares f
Catherine sat down elegantly at the restaurant. All eyes were on her as she smiled brightly.FLASHBACK, “Mama” Young Kayden called.“Baby!” Catherine responded as she engulfed her son in a long, warm hug.“You look so pretty, Mama. I wrote a song for you.” Young Kayden said happily as he showed his toothless front teeth.“A song, that's beautiful” Catherine said as she looked around to see the maids smiling at both of them.“Mom, let me play it for you on the piano” Kayden smiled as he saw his mother.Catherine looked at her sweet boy as his grey eyes shimmered with hope.He was her heir,Her pride,Most importantly,Her son.“You look so pretty ma” Kayden said as he placed a kiss on Catherine's left cheek, snapping her from her train of thoughts.Catherine looked at her son as she smiled, but this time in pain as she became overwhelmed with guilt.She must have been at of her mind to abandon her precious son because of her ambitions.“Thank you, Kay” Catherine said in shame.“Let's
Gemma and Fair sat down inside the small café of Ama that was connected to their house.“You don't look so happy.” Flair said, trying to lighten the mood.“What gave it away?” Gemma asked as venom dripped from her voice.The chubby man who looked like he was in his 60s didn't know how he was going to appease this green-eyed, raging siren in front of him.“I'll take the injured residents to the hospital..... I'll….emmm"“The problem is the damage your men caused, harassing, violence, threats….how are you going to compensate the residents for this?” Gemma said as she brought out her tab to write something.Tales of Gemma had been told of the green-eyed monster. The woman who rules the courtroom, the undefeated legal siren.If she's for you, then salvation has come, but the moment you find yourself in a situation when she's against you, just throw the towel.The goddess of the courtroom, Gemma Hazel Throne.And here he was in an unfortunate situation where he would have to face this mons
Gemma hummed while waiting for the doctors to finish up Alison's treatment. “You look way better than before” Alison whispered in Gemma's ears “Alison, stop” Gemma chuckled. “You looked really furious a while ago” Alison added. “Work problems” Gemma muttered as she concocted a fake smile. “You said something earlier, something about house hunting.” Alison said as she held Gena as they exited the hospital. “Yes I did, or would you like to follow me to New City? New Lando is also another great choice.” Gemma said as she stroked her chin softly in thoughts. “Throne” Gemma turned towards the voice as she was engulfed in a warm hug. “How did you….” “You forget you are a celebrity, stargram has been going crazy because of you.” Kayden said as he hugged her tighter. “You are making me obsessed with you sir” “I am already obsessed, a drug I cannot….” “You are in front of the family, behave, Kay.” Gemma chuckled. Kayden reluctantly let go of her as he waved her family. “Hi ma
“What the hell do you mean?” Damien's furious voice echoed in his office as his secretary quivered in fear. “This is a court summon, King is suing us.” She said one more time. What does that mean? Why? Did Kayden discover anything? That is not possible as his plan was fool-proof. Did Marie get discovered? Did she turn on him? He scratched his head in frustration. He had out all of his money into this. He had to bring Kayden down. “The reason?” Damien asked his shivering secretary. “Business contempt” She answered shakily “When is the hearing?” Damien asked as he slammed his palm on his desk with force. “In 2 hours sir” the secretary said “What? That's so quick. He's not giving me any time to figure something out, is he?” Dameien looked at his secretary for a sign of hope, as she just shook her head. Damien called his partner in crime, Toji Hama. “Damien, what the fuck did you do?” Hama barked out immediately. Damien was taken aback, as he did nothi
Damien got to the processor's office as cameras flashed on him.“How do you feel about the situation” a reporter asked “Damien, do you feel you would win?” Another reporter asked hastingly as Damien hurriedly walked inside the building.The security personnel blocked the entrance as Damien and his team entered.Damien saw Marie, who was with other members of the King Corporation, and he sighed in relief.The fact she was still with them meant that they hadn't caught her, so he could definitely worm his way out of this.“We would start a private hearing between the two parties and their attorneys. Please come in.” A woman said curtly.She was exhausted from reviewing the documents, and she looked at Damien. Her fierce eyes looked at him.She saw no remorse, just a cocky bastard who has committed a huge legal crime trying to destroy his nation because of his petty jealousy.He really doesn't know what's in store for him. He would certainly rue the day he was born after today.The legal
Every media in the country were possibly present. Kayden and his team walked out. The reporters present immediately went into a frenzy trying to get to Kayden. “Sir, can you give us a statement?” a reporter asked. “After the court hearing tomorrow.” Kayden said as he left them with the help of his team. Gemma had to stay back to settle things, as she requested to have Damien and his allies punished to the max. Gemma sat down, rubbing her now throbbing head as the prosecutor lady passed her a bottle of water. “Can't believe I met the power couple of the century today” The lady chuckled as she drank her water, trying to ease Gemma's mind. “Stop teasing me Nat” Gemma said as she drank the water. “Do you think Kayden would let Damien get a death penalty?” Gemma asked worriedly. “It's not about Kayden, it's about the country and how Damien almost caused a war. It's a war crime and the country would be prosecuting him.” Natalie said as Gemma took deep breaths. The whole situation
