As the door closed behind him, Michael sank onto the couch, realizing that his attempts to manipulate the situation had failed.

He knew that each piece of evidence, each legal argument, and every precedent would play a crucial role in the upcoming legal battle. "Emily," he called out to his secretary, his voice steady and composed. Emily entered the room, her notepad in hand. "Yes, Mr. Drake?" "I need you to gather all the files and documents related to Mr. Michael's case," he instructed, his gaze still fixed on the paperwork in front of him. "Of course, Mr. Drake," Emily replied, jotting down the instructions on her notepad. As Emily left to retrieve the files, Lawyer Drake continued his examination of the documents.

With a heavy heart, he decided to call it a day. He picked up his phone and dialed his personal assistant, Sarah. "Sarah, I'm heading home for the day," he said wearily. "Please make sure all the necessary documents are in order for tomorrow's meeting." "Of course, Mr. Drake," Sarah replied. "Is there anything else you need before you go?" Drake shook his head, even though she couldn't see him. "No, thank you, Sarah. I just need a good night's rest." As he hung up the phone, he pushed his chair back and stood up. He glanced around his office, the weight of the case still heavy on his shoulders. But he knew that he couldn't let it consume him. He needed to find a way to

As they drove through the winding roads, Abigail stared out the window, lost in her thoughts. The landscape shifted from bustling city to serene countryside. The journey itself seemed like a metaphor for their lives—a path that was filled with unexpected twists. Finally, they reached their destination—a quiet town nestled amidst rolling hills. The air was crisp, and the scent of pine trees hung in the air. Samuel parked the car in a cozy inn's parking lot, and they waited for Johnson. Minutes turned into an hour, and just when anticipation was turning into anxiety, Johnson's car pulled up. Abigail's heart raced as she caught sight of him stepping out. With his briefcase in hand, Johnson approached them, his face a mix of concern and gratitude. "Samuel, Abigail," Johnson greeted them warmly, his voice holding a sense of urgency. "I'm here.

"Abigail," he said softly, "can you describe where you were held during that time?" Abigail took a deep breath, her voice steady but filled with the weight of the memories. "We were in an apartment," she began, her fingers tracing invisible patterns on the table. "It was like a prison. I couldn't see outside, couldn't feel the presence of any other human being. His security guards were everywhere, watching my every move." Johnson's expression darkened as he absorbed the gravity of the situation. "And your children? How were they treated at that moment? I need more if you can tell me more?
RISING FROM THE ASHES Chapter 78
Abigail's tears fell freely now, her emotions spilling over as she confessed, "It was a nightmare I can't forget. The guard who tried to help me, paid the ultimate price for his kindness. And I was left more trapped than ever, with the weight of his death on my conscience." Johnson's grip on Abigail's hand tightened in a silent show of support. "Abigail, we will use every detail you've shared to build a strong case against Michael. The truth will come out, and justice will be served." Abigail nodded, her heart heavy but her resolve unyielding. "I won't let his cruelty go unpunished. I want to ensure that no one else suffers because of him." As their conversation continued, the shared determination between Abigail and Johnson was palpable. Each word they exchanged was a step toward unveiling the truth, a step toward justice. The weight of Abigail's story was heartbreaking, but her courage to share it was a beacon of hope. As they talked, Johnson continued to j

Samuel's presence across the table was a reassuring anchor, and the simple act of being together eased the heaviness that had lingered earlier. As they finished their meal, Samuel leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on Abigail. "Feeling better?" he asked, his voice gentle. Abigail nodded, her eyes meeting him with gratitude. "Much better. Thank you for this, Samuel. You always know how to make things better." Samuel's smile was filled with affection. "I'll always be here for you, Abigail. Through the ups and downs." Abigail reached across the table to place her hand on top of his. "I know, and I'm so grateful for that." With a
