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. His earlier cocky behavior is proving be the end of his life right before his very eyes. “His daughter? His own daughter will testify against him in court?”.“How is that even possible?

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.

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.

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?

“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

Last time he'd seen Aria Freeman was one of the worst night of his life. That experience had scarred him since that night and he looking forward to never meeting her. His first thought was how embarrassed she felt because she avoided eye contact with him. She was avoiding his glance like batteries with their matching poles held together, how their gazes just can't quite meet up and slide rapidly away from each other, but he can't find a wording for the tension between them. He knew there's got to be something to do to make everything better, but he can't quite get it to come together.“Her name is Aria Freeman, she was my junior in the university. I knew her before school, in fact I knew her since we were kids. Her mother was my mom’s best friend so they often make visits to our house. She used

This morning wasn’t an exception, she was complaining bitterly and was flaring a bit because aside being kept in bed and not allowed to move around, they’ve totally refused to bring the baby to her making her feel like maybe, just maybe the baby didn’t make it and they couldn’t tell her hence she was thrown into a depressed mood.“Why can’t I see her?! It’s been three weeks already! Three fucking weeks Alex! And I don’t even know what my daughter looks like. My wounds are all healed up and I can now move freely than before.
