The car pulled up in front of the house and Damian opened the car's door for his wife. They walked into the house, fingers entwined and broad smile plastered on their faces. "Where are you coming from?" A voice drew their attention . "And who are you to ask that?" Damian asked rudely. "Damian....She's just worried. I'm sure she didn't see us last night that's why," Maya said flashing a smile towards Amber. "Yeah..but if a husband and wife decide to spend the night outside, who's she to question them," Damian asked. "I was just worried....like Maya said," Amber quickly spoke."You don't have to...." Damian said rudely and started climbing up the stairs. Maya mouthed a sorry and flashed an apologetic smile towards Amber before following Damian. "You don't have to be mean to her you know," Maya said, closing the door behind her. Damian, who was changing into his usual professional dress turned to her. "I wasn't mean...I was just telling her the truth. I don't know why you see goo
The sun rays gently caressed Maya's face as her eyes flew open. She had little sleep last night because she was thinking of today's trial. She didn't have any solid evidence to prove to everybody that her husband was innocent and it worried her deeply. She dragged her aching body to the bathroom, brushed her teeth and took a warm bath. She was still yawning every second as she walked out of the bathroom to the closet. She removed a white knee length dress that was hanging there and slipped it on. She slammed the closet shut and carried on with brushing her hair and applying some lotion on her dry skin. She didn't bother with any makeup and took her purse, slipped into her sandals and walked out. Amber was already waiting for her when she got downstairs, so they hopped into the car and soon were on their way.The time scheduled for the hearing was 9:30 so Maya has to meet up with the lawyer to make sure they were fully prepared. Ron was already there when she arrived. During their p
Damian took the box for the first time since he entered the court. His eyes were glued to Maya's as he was swearing by the Holy book brought before him. Maya's eyes reared up immediately but she quickly blinked them away. This wasn't the time to cry, it was the time to fight. To make sure Amanda didn't succeed. With that in mind, Maya flashed him a reassuring smile with a slight nod. "Mr. Makari do you know this woman here?" Damian's lawyer pointed to Amanda."No." Damian replied firmly. His fingers balled into tights fists. He was going to make her pay when he got out from her. He was going to make sure she would fall at his feet and beg him to spare her. "Do you remember her working for you?""No""Can you tell the court was happened that night?" "My wife had been admitted to the hospital because she was shot. I went home feeling frustrated so I grabbed a bottle of alcohol and went to my room. All my employees aren't allowed into my room and they know that. So I got drunk and I
Maya scanned her closet, she selected a pair of black jeans and a black hoodie and put it on. Walking to her dressing mirror, she gathered her hair and tied it into a messy ponytail whiles staring at the clock's reflection in the mirror. "6:30" it read. Eight hours had left the twenty four hours. She put on a pair of black converse and walked out of her room, making sure nobody saw her. She was going to spy on Amanda herself and gather all information she needed. Thankfully with Ron's help she was able to get one of the tiniest camera from Damian's tech shop. She pinned the camera to her Jodie and stopped a cab. "The camera comes with a microphone too, it can record anything she says," Ron informed her. He didn't like the idea of her going after Maya herself. It was going to be dangerous thing to do and he would be responsible if anything happened to her. He had tried to talk her out but Maya was adamant so he just let her be.Maya stopped a cab and hoped inside before telling the
Maya looked around, the sun was revealing itself and soon it would be time for the hearing. She really needed to get out of her in time for the hearing. She looked around for the thousand time looking for something to cut through the ropes but unfortunately there was nothing. Tears brimmed her eyes as time passed. She had gathered enough evidence and here she was stuck here with no way out. The man who tied her up earlier appeared with a laptop in his hand. He dragged a table and positioned it in front of her. "The hearing is about to start so the boss asked me to bring you this. He doesn't want you to miss your husband's sentencing," The man chuckled and left.Maya watched the seats in the court get filled one after the other. Damian was soon brought inside and he gave Ron a questioning look. Ron scratched his hair with a scared expression. The judge walked in and the hearing began. ***********Damian looked around for any sign of his wife but she was nowhere to be seen. 'Did she s
Maya's eyes flew open and the first thing she saw was Damian's face hovering above hers. She smiled and moved her hands to cup his face. He smiled and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. "You did it wife," he mumbled, kissing her again. "I'm so proud of you," Damian smiled genuinely."I'm so glad you're free. I'm happy I could prove your innocence," Maya mumbled softly. The doctor walked in to check up on her and Maya immediately asked when she could be discharged. "Today if you want me to," the doctor smiled. "Yes....." the husband and wife chorused."Do just that doctor," Damian smiled pulling Maya into his embrace. "Also there's someone here to see you," The doctor informed and Maya looked at the entrance with a frown. "I'll let him in," The doctor said then left. The two exchanged confused look as they waited for whoever had come to visit. "Maya," a voice called followed by footste
Amanda cleared her throat loudly gaining the couple attention. She plastered a fake smile on her face and approached them."Good to have you back Damian," she said and Damian hummed in response, trying to make her aware that her presence wasn't needed. "I'm so happy for you Maya," Amber said trying to sound as genuine as possible. She walked to the fridge and poured herself a glass of orange juice and turned to leave. "When are you moving out?"Damian's question took her by surprise, almost making her drop the glass she was holding. He was actually waiting for her to move out? Why? Weren't they cool? She saved Maya's life and he wanted her out? Why? Did Amanda say something? Maybe Oliver did. "Damian that's not a nice thing to say," Maya scolded him, obviously taken aback by Damian's question. "Well we can't have her all day and night doing nothing," Damian said, turning the stove off. His eyes finally met Amber's since she e
Damian called Ron as soon as he stepped out of the police station: "H...he...lol?" Ron stammered, whiles panting as if he just finished running a marathon."What are you doing?" Damian asked with furrowed brows."Uhhhh.....nothing. I..I just came back from the gym," Ron lied. "Ok, get ready we have something urgent to do. Meet me at the office," Damian instructed and hang up immediately. Ron sighed as he threw the phone on the bed. He stared at Maddie's half naked figure in the bed and shot her an apologetic look."Your bossy boss needs you?" She said sarcastically. "Yeah," Ron sighed, making his way to the bathroom. He returned few minutes later with a towel wrapped around his waist. "So when are we going to make our relationship known? I'm tired of hiding this, you know," Maddie said, as he dressed up. "Just give me some time. My boss doesn't like me mixing business with family or emotional issues,"
