Layla’s trial finally started and her lawyer was defending her with all kinds of twisted terms and made up logic about the reason why she should be innocent.
Layla was seated comfortably in the chair with full confidence that she was going to win the case. Having David help her out was one of the best decision in her life.
Though the old man was quite shocked and angry at first when he heard her confession.
But since there was nothing else he could do to undo it and the damage was already done, the best thing he could do was to call his best lawyer to defend her and made sure Layla was not arrested.
“The relationship between Layla and Christian has worsened. He could be making the statement up to drag her down with him. There is not a single proof that Layla has ever ordered him to murder Sofia. Therefore, his statement is

She took a bite of the bread and drank the water before taking a sip of the coffee as well. It was perfect."Are you going to work today?" She asked."Yes, unfortunately I have to go.

Dion smiled and got up, then, he placed the ring on her finger and the two of them kissed.It was such a romantic sight. A beach proposal, kissing as they listened to the wave crashing when the sun was about to set and the sky slowly turned dark.It was a moment Sofia will never forget in her life.“Thank you for choosing me, Sofia.” Dion pulled her into

What are you doing?” She could hear him speaking from the other side of the line.“I’m at the museum right now, Acropolis museum.” She answered.“Ah, are you going there alone?” He asked again.“Yes, I’m going there alone.

Sofia was still alive, so he never ended up killing her. He wanted them to change his charges from murder to murder attempt instead.Perhaps it might ease his sentence a bit and he could walk out of prison faster than the initial sentence considering that Sofia was still alive.“You must be having a guilty conscience, that’s why you think of her when you see other women with even the tiniest bit of resemblance.""I know what I saw.
