The trial will seem to change today, or was it just my vibe? Seeing the mafias on the left corner somehow gave me hope.“Now please let me call on the witness.” The prosecutor uttered, the woman on her heels entered the court, it was Natalia.After taking her oath, to tell the truth, she sat on the witness stand and head straight to the prosecutor. She doesn’t have any plan to put her gaze on me or maybe she is staring at me right now, I can’t tell because she’s wearing black shades.“What is your relationship with the defendant?” The prosecutor started asking.“No, but she is connected with the man I was spying for.”“Why are you spying on that man?”“He was the mastermind of all the crime that happened, and she was using the defendant to execute it well.”Is she talking about herself?“S-She’s lying!” I exclaimed and glance at Drake who doesn’t have any plan to object, Natalia seem to drag Achilles' name any moment right now, and I can’t let that happen.“Silenced!” The judge exclai
“Your honor, that woman is irrelevant to this case .” I heard the prosecution object.But my eyes remained focused on Jera. Why is she here? My eyes then shifted to the left corner of the court where the mafias look surprised, now I know the reason why they were there. Not for me, but for Jera. Drake probably pulled that trick to summon them inside this court, and indeed called Jera.“No, I could assure you that this woman will help us sort things out.” Drake smiled meaningfully at Natalia, she doesn’t look surprised at the thought that Jera was alive, because I know that she knew it very well. But she seemed unattended seeing the woman inside of this court, she probably didn’t expect her appearance. So do I. I thought she don’t plan to show up in public until her name has been cleaned up.“The witness here insists that she is the daughter of the mafia leader that’s why she secretly spies on the culprit, she said it was her responsibility and duty to do that. But we both know the trut
Natalia lost her credibility as a witness and all the pieces of evidence presented have been invalidated. Like what Drake Spencer said, the second trial was on our side. After that I wasn’t able to see Jera again, she didn’t even bother to ask how am I doing behind these bars.But I hope the last trial will be made me proven innocent, I’m not sure yet how will Spencer do that but somehow he gained my trust after the second trial.“Don’t just lie there! Massage my back!”My thoughts have been ruined when someone kicks my leg, when I move my head to see who it was, Deborah's grinning face greeted me, the self-proclaimed queen in this jail.“What are you looking at? Instead of glaring at me, you should move! Stop wasting my f*cking time!” She growled.But I didn’t move. Who does she think she is? I might have let the other days pass that they bully me but everything has a limit. It’s somehow tiring to overthink every night that one of them would dig a knife onto my chest, maybe I should
I didn’t wait for him to respond and leave the visitation area, my heart was too heavy as soon as I entered the cell.Why on earth did he come back here to Russia? And he who the f*ck he entrusted our son with this time? Aren’t he aware that someone could arrest him any time and end up jailed like me? What about Amari? Who’ll take care of him then if that happens?My mind wants to blow with the thought of it. My son, I should ask Drake to do me a favor and secure my son’s safety.Ares Coleman has been silent for a while but it just makes me anxious more, I could feel that something was about to happen again. He only let Natalia get ashamed for standing as a witness on the second trial, was it just a fact that they didn't think that Jera will testify, or did they already know it and let that happen for a new scheme that'll blow our minds off. Just thinking of it sends me shivers already, especially now, knowing that Achilles was here and our son was left unattended made me want to esca
A thick fluid splashed on my face, it felt like the world stopped for a moment and I could hear my own heartbeats right now. My eyes then shifted down to the officer who grafted his body that has been penetrated by the bullet instead of me.He started coughing blood and I supported his weight so he won’t fall.“A-A…C.” He whispered before his eyelids slowly gave up.What’s going on? My eyes went back to the man who pulled the trigger but to my surprise, he wasn’t there anymore.Heavy steps rushed grabbed my attention, and the gunshot surely woke the officers, as I could hear some prisoners making any noise inside their cell.Officers have arrived where I’m still holding the dead officer’s body, still in shock at what had just happened.They quickly put handcuffs on me and made me face the wall forcefully.“Why did you kill him?” An officer asked.I shook my head. “I-I didn’t kill him.” I tried to defend myself but he doesn’t seem convinced that instead of putting me back inside my cel
“Tomorrow’s Jada’s final trial, what are your plans?” Martini asked Jera who was busy playing with the whisky on the glass. “It will be broadcasted nationwide, we have a television here.” The woman replied without glancing at Martini. “Miss J…” “Jada has a huge chance to win the case, Martini. You have nothing to worry about. Besides I did my part already, I showed up in the court and prove that Natalia is lying.” “But haven’t you heard the news? Jada killed an officer.” “It was a trapped Martini, do you ever ask what is Jada doing in that isolated area with those men?” “They were planning something on her. But they didn’t expect that Jada will fight back.” Jera added. “But they said that fingerprint has been found on the gun.” “When are you born Martini? Do you believe in that? It was too easy to fabricate a piece of evidence if you have the power and money Martini, you aren’t aware of that do you?” “You mean…” “Yes, someone ordered them to do so. And I wasn’t surprised anym
“Do you think you’ve persuaded them enough to support Jada on her trial?” Martini asked as soon as they left his corporation.“I think so, I know they want to hear Jada’s side as well, why she remained her mouth shut when Natalia put her behind bars, and what are her plans, if she’ll lead the mafias or not. Those things remained unanswered for them and are very important for their businesses if she’ll be a big problem in the future like what I did before in their family businesses.”“What about our plans?” Martini asked.The woman looked out of the window and let Martini drive as he waits for her reply, it took her a minute before she answered.“Nothing changed with our plans, though it was hard to execute it now due to the unexpected delays, and people blocking our ways. But once we have eliminated all the hindrances, we will step up. Once Jada gets out of jail, she’ll face the mafias and explain everything, we have to find the real culprit and gather shreds of evidence, once we did
“Don’t make me choose between you and Jada, because you know exactly the answer for that.”“Why did you just show up now?” The woman asked.“Because I want to see you change and be a mother. However…”“That doesn’t seem the case right now? You’ve gone worst, that even Jada’s good friend died.”“That’s the world she has to discover Jinx…”“No, it was the world you are trying to give to her. Obviously, Jada doesn’t want this kind of life Jera, and you made it worst for her.”“I wonder if she found out that you kept on lying to her for your own personal gain, could she forgive you still. That even the father of the man she loves, you’ve tried to ruin.”“I don’t know you anymore Jera. I barely recognize the Jera Young I know. You succumbed to greed, and power that your father planted in your head. And if you know how much you loath your father, you should probably understand how Jada hates you right now, because you became your father Jera, worst you exceeded him.”“I don’t need your rant
