“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
“All of the people were screaming for justice, asking the government for a death penalty punishment against the accuse, Jada Young.” The reporter caught Jera’s attention and get back to her senses.“No, Jada will surely be proven innocent after Natalia has been eliminated is the witness. And even the shreds of evidence she showed has been considered with a high possibility to have tampered.” She whispered to herself.The trial started, and when Jada entered the court, it was filled with harsh words toward her making the judge shut everyone.Jera’s forehead creased, she then had a second thought of attending the final trial so that she could slap those people with the truth that Jada will be proven innocent in the end. The camera got a shot of the people in the court, that includes the mafia leaders, on the left corner and Drake Spencer, Jada’s attorney. Jera’s eyes glimmered at what she saw, making her eyes more focused on the screen of her hundred inches television.Spencer near the
Holding my hands tightly, I closed my eyes to stop myself from crying. I heaved a deep breath before opening it again, and look at Drake Spencer coldly.“I killed them. I was the mastermind behind the bombings, murders, robberies, extortions, and every crime recently. That’s me. So just give me my verdict and put me behind bars.”Drake’s calm facade has fully vanished. I can see in his eyes those questions such as why am I doing this?“Bring back the death penalty and let her be the first one to receive that punishment!”“That’s the last thing you can do to give justice to all of the victims!”“Bring back the death penalty now!”The audiences inside of the court kept on screaming those words, and I know even those people outside of this place, and those who were watching on their television had the same thought too. I know this trial was broadcasted locally and internationally, seeing tens of cameras, and reporters out there isn’t surprising anymore. Plus, the journalist inside in fro
“It’s too good to know that you’re back. Was it for good?” Deborah’s annoying face greeted me.“Spare me some peace, I need a rest.” I coldly shot back before heading to bed but then felt a hand gripping tightly on my shoulder.“Still a b*tch huh?”“How about the officer you killed? Was the punishment already included in your verdict?” She asked. I rolled my eyes and shrugged her hands off.“Leave me alone,” I commented.The latter doesn’t seem to understand what that means as she kicks me hard to my back which made me land on the bed forcefully, I bit my lip when my stomach hit the edge of the bed.“You’re still hard-headed aren’t you? I only let you attack me the other day but that doesn’t mean that I’ll let it pass. Hold her!”Before I could even recover, Miriam and the other one I forgot the name hold my arms, as they force me to face Deborah.“In this place, I’m the queen! So learn to respect me and kneel if you don’t want to die here!” She exclaimed. The two were forcing me onto
Until I got inside of my jail, I was still stunned at what I saw. Achilles surrendered himself? That’s the most stupid thing he’ll ever do in his entire life? How about our son? Does he even think about Amari? I sat on the bed near, as I felt a bit dizzy. I wasn’t able to appreciate the room anymore, being it too clean and modest for a cell, as Achilles took the spotlight at the back of my head.I lie on the bed and slowly closed my eyes, this is too much.“Jada Young you have a new inmate.” It was the voice of the officer, I tried to open my eyes but it was too heavy like my lids were attracting each other like a magnet. I only heard the sound of the door opening and didn’t take too long to closed.I thought I am the only one here.I only felt someone’s presence near me so I forced my eyes to open a little. Someone was right in front of me, but my vision was a bit blurred. Until that person touched my head.”You’re sick.”That voice. Don’t tell me I’m hallucinating.“A-Achilles?” I
The chains were making sounds as we tried to make a way of getting out of it.“A-Are you alright?” Achilles asked right next to me, he was in the same position as mine, our hands were chained up above our heads.“I-I’m fine.” I manage to say despite the fact that I’m really tired, and my arms were getting numb for hours being tied above already, I’m not alone. I know Achilles feels the same way as I do.“Don’t worry we’ll be able to leave here.” He shot back obviously cheering me up, I probably look hopeless right now. Ares drag us to this abandoned place and his men were just around.“And how will you be able to do that?”“Both of you will die here.” He added.“F*ck you!” I cursed.“I appreciate your gratitude, my dearest sister-in-law.”“Why are you doing this Ares, just kill me. Leave Jada and my son alone.” Achilles uttered.“Woah, so romantic and disgusting. You’re tainting Coleman’s symbolism, we don’t bow our heads to women. But look at you, pathetic and a victim of that f*ckin
