Lawyer Prosper stood on his foot rather dramatically, brushed off imaginary dust from his clothes with both his left and right hands before proceeding ahead to announce his next witness with a proud smile plastered on his cunning face.“I will like to call on my next witness, let’s all welcome Miss Jane Li or should I say Miss Jane Miller,” Prosecutor Prosper exclaimed. Everyone turned to the door with conflicting feelings. Mutters could be heard all over the room and Ken Li sat paralyzed in his seat without the ability to even turn and have a look at the door.

This man has got to be as bad as th

“That’s because I don’t consider someone who has raped me and degraded me since I was a kid a father!” Jane exclaimed loudly with a distasteful look at Ken who still refused to rise up his head and look at her since she walked in.The room was threw into an uproar that even the judge was too surprise at the information to make a movement or a sound.“Obj-object-objections my honor! This is simply hearsay. It is just speculations!”, Lawyer Victor objected passionately. “Objections sustained! Prosecutor Prosper do you have enough evidence to cover your claims?”, Judge Mona asked anxiously with eyes on Jane. She’s suddenly more than interested in the case. Having been a victim of rape herself, she felt very empathetic towards her but knowing she was raped at such a tender age by her own father made Mona’s heart go out to her.Jane didn’t move a muscle but her entire expression turned stoic and cold. She was thinking of everything again and the scenes unfolding through her mind. She wishe
Until she met him 164. Pictures and the Emergency
Life didn’t go as planned after the trial was over, not for Jane and certainly not for Alexander. The media painted both Alexander and Jane as having an affair and made it look like that’s why Jane took the stand against her father. Others painted her as a prostitute and criminal but few saw her as what she was, a victim. Scandals after scandals, both Jane and Alexander didn’t give the media the needed attention and that caused an outrage amongst the media house.Hence the media took it further with scary narratives against Alexander accusing him of several crimes ranging from forging of documents to put Ken in jail and murder to planting evidence. It wasn’t until lawsuits started tripping in that the discovery was made that most of the media houses were under Ken Li’s payroll. Further investigations was made and secret bank accounts identified, they were all frozen and slowly the news died down.But life didn’t go back to normal for the Johnsons nor Jane Miller.

He met Alexander pacing around in front of the theatre with his grandparents sitting of the lounge together whispering into each others ears with concern looks.Alexander lifted his eyes up and saw Jake walk towards him. He met him half way with ears eager for all the information he needed.“Jake, you said fifteen minutes but it’s more than thirty minutes now, I got worried when you were not even picking your calls. What kept you bro?”, Alexander muttered to him when they came into contact with each other. “I had to meet Bismarck for the information you wanted about Aria. What’s going on? How’s Ally doing?”, Jake asked when they were doing their handshake.“They are still in surgery, I don’t fucking have an idea about what is happening in there.” Alexander said angrily, he had almost f

“Took you long enough! I called you two even before I left the house to meet Bismarck.” Jake voiced out with a disapproval look. Philip and Richard didn’t seem the least bothered by the disapproval look he was sending them.“I had to go pick Richard from his movie set. You should applaud us for making a two hours journey in less than an hour. Anyways, who are you killing Alexander so we can sharpen our knives and follow prompt.” Philip declared with a quick glance at the annoyed looking Alexander. Richard nodded in response to what Philip voiced out whilst taking a bite of the cookie he was holding.“Yes Alexander, who has annoyed you this bad? I can’t remember the last time you looked this angry but first things first, how’s Alice?.” Richard mentioned after swallowing his last bite of his cookies. He was truly hungry before they left the set in a hurry before their food arrived on the set hence he had to settle for cookies and a milk shake on their way over to the hospital.“Where’s A
