Chapter 131: What messages?

**Third person**The cold, grey walls of the jail seemed to close in around Adam as he was led through the booking process. The fluorescent lights overhead cast an unforgiving glare, making every line and crease on his face stand out.After protesting relentlessly throughout the drive, he was finally silent until they passed an open office and his eyes caught a glimpse of the television.He stopped abruptly. “Wait.” Then he looked at the two officers who were behind him. “What's that?!” Adam demanded.They glanced at the TV too, but they didn't respond. Adam stared at the screen again, his features etched with surprise. He had only been arrested just now. "Businessman Adam Smith Arrested for Murder of Wife," read the headlines.Adam felt his head spin. This wasn't good for business; their stock prices will drop. Their market value will drop too. And all for what? They didn't even have tangible evidence on him.“Fuck it!” He growled, his voice dripping with venom. “Even getting you fir

Chapter 132: Nathaniel Scott

**Third person** “Valerie…” Gabriel called out gently, confusion still written boldly on his face. “What messages are you talking about? I haven't sent you any.” Valerie just gawked at him with a look that told him she was just as confused as him. “Someone has been sending you messages and saying that he is me?” Gabriel asked, still trying to make sense of everything. “No, no,” Val shook her head, finally snapping out of her daze. “Someone has been texting me, and I thought it was you.” Then she stared at him, as if trying to read him. If he wasn't the anonymous person, then how did he know about her identity? “So how did you know that I'm Ash…” She trailed off, not wanting to say her name. “How did you know that I'm the one?” He smiled. The type of smile that hides a lot beneath it. “Let's go somewhere more private.” Gab began moving, and Valerie followed quietly. They got into a storage room, and he shut the door behind them. “Remember the night that Mr. Denver took us ou

Chapter 133: Lucky Karen

**Third person**Karen sat on the couch, her eyes fixed on the door absentmindedly. She took a deep breath, her mind racing with the events of the past few days. That lowlife bastard! She cussed, her fists clenching. How dare he?! Did he really think that she'll go down without a fight?"Hello?" She called out, and a few moments later, the door opened. Elliot entered.“Do you know anything about what's going on with Adam?” She asked him.A muscle in Elliot's jaw ticked and he pondered upon the reply to give. “Your husband was arrested today for your murder after the evidence was submitted,” he answered casually.Karen smirked wickedly and then stood up from the bed. She began pacing the length of the room. “That was quite fast,” she murmured.Elliot didn't say anything.Karen paused in her track and glanced at the man who was still standing by the door with his hands behind his back. "I need to make a call,” she blurted out."I don't think that's a good idea,” Elliot replied in a mon

Chapter 134: How do you plead?

**Third person**Valerie stepped up to the foul line, her eyes fixed on the pins as she positioned her bowling ball. She took a deep breath, swung her arm back, and released the ball. It soared down the lane, hitting the pocket with a satisfying crash.Matt watched, impressed, as Valerie high-fived herself. "Not bad,” he hummed, trying to play down her victory.Valerie grinned, walking back to their lane's seating area. "Not bad? That was a killer shot right there,” she corrected.Matt chuckled, standing up to take his turn. He picked up his ball, gave it a few practice swings. Then he turned to look at her, an arrogant smirk on his face as he released it. The ball veered slightly to the left but still managed to knock down a few pins.Valerie raised a mocking eyebrow. "Now that's what you call ‘not bad’,” she beamed. “I could teach you a thing or two, though,” she bragged.Matt rolled his eyes playfully as he returned to his seat, "Don't take that as a win for you. I'm just warming u

Chapter 135: The state of New York vs. Adam Smith

**Third person**“How authentic is this video?” The judge asked.The prosecutor stepped forward. “The anonymous source who provided the footage has sworn an affidavit attesting to its authenticity.”James Parker chuckled dryly. "Your honor, the authenticity of the video cannot be verified because the source is anonymous,” he chipped in. “We need concrete evidence, not hearsay from a mysterious source.”“I understand the defense’s concerns.” The judge nodded slightly and turned to Rachel Lee. “Prosecutor, can you provide additional evidence to corroborate the video?”“Unfortunately, no, your honor,” she replied. “But the video’s authenticity has been verified through expert analysis and corroborating eyewitness testimony. It shows the defendant’s actions clearly, and we believe it's sufficient enough to prove his guilt.”“With all due respect,” James started again, sparing Rachel a quick glance before he looked at the judge. “The video is not sufficient. We request that the court consi

Chapter 136: I like it

**Third person**Valerie had watched Adam being dragged out of court, his face twisted in a mixture of anger and desperation. The way he kept swearing that he didn’t kill his wife sent a shiver down her spine. She should be happy, but she didn't understand why she had this sinking feeling in her stomach.Everything was going according to plan, yes. But… She couldn't quite place it. It almost felt like everything was about to go wrong.But how could it? It can't. Tomorrow she'll come back and talk to Adam; she'll corner him into ratting out Karen and his in-laws, and…“My woman,” Lucas called with a grin as he moved over to her and scooped her in his arms. She giggled. “You know that you don't have to carry me every time you see me?”“Who said such a thing?” He frowned playfully, and she laughed again.Lucas placed her in the car, got in, and then took off. Valerie leaned back in her chair, her worries flooding her mind again. Lucas stared at her tenderly, and she didn't even notice.

Chapter 137: What brings you here?

**Third person**They both cleaned up and Lucas started the car again, their destination was his house.In his mansion, he already had a rare massage oil brought. Lucas lifted the bottle and examined it. Then he looked at Valerie. “When will you have your massage, milady? Before or after you shower?”She cocked an eyebrow and tilted her head. "Aww, you always have the best remedy for making me feel better,” she gushed.A proud look etched on Lucas's face at her compliment. Then he cracked his fingers and she stared at her hungrily. "That's what boyfriends are for."Valerie eyed him suspiciously and giggled. “Why do you look like you have ulterior motives?”“Please don't take my good intentions for granted.” He huffed, pretending to be offended. “I don't like it when my pure intentions are mistaken for something else,” he grumbled.Valerie studied his face, the fake scowl he had on made him look even more cute. “Sorry for doubting you then,” she apologized, her grin widening as she hu

Chapter 138: Slip up

**Third person**"I just wanted to see how you're doing, Adam. I know things have been...tough for you lately." She leaned forward, studying his eye bags and the way his face suddenly looked older.Adam snorted, running a palm across his face. "Tough? You think that's the right word? I'm facing life in prison," he groaned, frustration lines etched on his forehead.“But the punishment hasn't been given out yet,” she pointed out, trying her best to sound optimistic. Adam frowned. He knew that Valerie was trying to give him false hope. “Really?” He rolled his eyes frustratedly. “You already know what the punishment for first-degree murder is.” Valerie's expression turned somber, her eyes filled with a pretend concern. "I know, Adam,” she murmured sadly. “I'm so sorry about all this. And I want you to know that I'm here for you. Whatever you need." He just shrugged in response. Then she stared at him for a while and sighed, as though she had something else on her mind. “You have someth

Chapter 139: Something huge for her

**Third person**“Ask for anything, Mr. Smith; I'll gladly help,” she urged him.“If I'm going to spend my life here, I want to live it to the fullest.” He began, his pleading eyes staring at her. “Can you do that for me?”Her brows furrowed in confusion. “I don't quite follow.”“Valerie, you're Lucas's girlfriend. He has the resources and influence to make my stay here quite enjoyable.” He paused, his jaw tightening. “I know the Harrisons would try to have me killed after I rat them out; I'll need security to ensure my safety too.”Val pressed her lips together, suppressing her urge to laugh. “I’d love to help and I'll want that for you too,” she confessed. “But you know my boyfriend is a businessman; if he helps you, what's in it for him?”Adam stared at her, slightly taken aback. Surely he didn't think that Lucas would grant him that type of favor for free.He remained silent for quite some time, lost in thoughts and Valerie feared that she might have pushed her luck too far.

Chapter 140: Click bait

**Third person**As Valerie sat behind her desk, she tried to focus on her work, but thoughts of how the day would play out filled her mind. She checked her time yet again. It was just 8.05. Maybe time was passing slowly today because it knew that she'd come to work really early.As the clock ticked away, Valerie felt her anxiety build. She was ready for this, she told herself. She was ready to see Adam confess and to finally get the closure she needed. At 8.20, Lucas was outside her office, ready to give her a ride to the prison like he'd offered.Once she stepped out of Harrisons' enterprises, the morning sunlight cast a golden glow on her face. But her expression was far from radiant. The sinking feeling that had been gnawing at her gut since she woke up, making her stomach twist into knots, was still there.‎Valerie settled into the passenger seat of Lucas's car, buckling her seatbelt as he started the engine. Lucas had a worried look on his face as he glanced at her. “Still t
