Rita ‘s voice fills the room as the recording plays, “I know it’s about the court case in relation to you asking me to rent a house for Alice” she states.“Oh really?” I ask, my voice filling the room. A moment of silences goes on before Rita’s voice is heard again, “I’m sorry Lara but please don’t fire me, Alice was the one that put me up to all this” she states.“How so?” I ask, my voice filling the room once more. “Well, the day before she moved in, she asked me to look for an apartment and requested that I should state in the document that the instruction was from you, Mrs Lara” Rita says in the recording.A long stretch of silence passes before Rita’s voice is heard again, “we are actually cousins, so I did it for her without asking questions. I’m sorry for implicating you at the court” Rita says.“And are you willing to testify at court?” I ask. “I’m sorry Lara, but I can’t. I can’t betray my cousin like that” Rita states.“You already betrayed Alice by telling me the truth in r

“Mrs Becky” the judge says, “yes your honour” Becky replies, moving slightly closer to the bench. “Permission granted, you may call Miss Alice to the stand” the judge says, her voice authoritative as she speaks.Becky nods, “thank you your honour, Miss Alice please kindly make your way to the stand” she requests, turning to get a view of Alice.Alice rises to her feet, standing still for a second as she attempts to gather her thoughts before walking slowly to the stand as if she’s counting her steps.“Thank you for joining us in a timely manner” Becky says, a hint of sarcasm in her tone, only evident to those familiar with her. Alice nods in response as she nervously chews on her lips waiting for the questioning to begin.“You seem anxious Miss Alice, is there a particular reason why you’re nervous?” She asks, an inquisitive look on her face. Alice takes a deep breath before speaking, “I’m just nervous about being in the spotlight” she explains, her words short and straight to the poi

“I’d like to present some evidence to the court your honour” Becky says, walking to her desk before gathering some documents from her desk and making her way to the bench.“May I approach the bench your honour” she asks, a short distance away from the bench. “You may” the judge replies with a nod. “Thank you, your honour” she says, closing the distance before handing the evidence to the judge.“Your honour, the documents I submitted to you, shows the screenshot of the chats between Mr Evans and Miss Alice” she says, sharing the evidence with the rest of the court.My eyes focus on the chats I personally took a picture of and sent to Becky as evidence. I glance up to see the judge carefully reading through the printed screenshots. I return my attention to the document, reading through it once more.Evans: Any progress with our plan?Alice: Chill, I plan on making a move on Clark very soon. Evans: And your boss? You know she’s always watching, right?Alice: I’ll get something to distra

“Order in the court” the judge says, slamming her gavel against the sounding block as she attempts to silence the whispers in the courtroom. Once the room has quieted down, she speaks, “do you have anything to say on behalf of your clients Mr Rick?” She asks, an attempt to keep the case impartial.Rick shakes his head, “none your honour” he replies, accepting defeat as the evidence presented against them is too compelling to be easily dismissed and denied.The judge nods her head, “that’s noted Mr Rick” she says, clearing her throat before continuing. “Based on the court case between Mrs Lara Rique and Miss Alice and Mr Evans. I have taken into account the testimonies given and the evidences presented”“I have also taken into account the severity of the case, the implication of the charges laid against Miss Alice and Miss Evans and the emotional and monetary damage on Mrs Lara Rique”“After careful consideration of these factors I have decided to sentence Mr Evans and Miss Alice to t

Elvis chuckles, his laughter warm and inviting, “Then I assume it’s our pleasure. Thank you, Lara,” he replies, slipping his arm across his wife Becky’s waist, a gesture that speaks volumes about their bond. I can’t help but admire the way they interact, their connection evident in the way they lean into each other, sharing a moment that feels intimate and genuine. “Great, let’s go celebrate!” I exclaim, latching onto Clark’s arm as we navigate through the crowd, eager to take the private exit that will shield us from the prying eyes of the media. The thrill of the evening fills the air, and I can feel the anticipation building as we step outside into the cool night. The stars twinkle above us, a perfect backdrop for the celebration that awaits. As we walk, I glance back at Elvis and Becky, their laughter echoing in the night. It’s moments like these that remind me of the importance of friendship and the joy that comes from shared experiences. I can’t wait to see what the night has

A month goes by and everything returns to normal in Clark and I's lives, not just at our workplace but at home. It feels good to have our home once again to ourselves without any worry about Alice or a court case.My phone rings out loud, the sound filling the room as I grab it from the desk. It shows that the caller is Clark and a smile instantly appears on face. “Why could he be calling?” I mutter to myself as I pick the call.“Hey Babe” I say, dismissing my staff from my office after a just concluded office. “Hey love” he replies, from the sound of his voice I can tell that he has a wide smile on his face and he’s excited about something.“What’s got you excited?” I ask, leaning against the chair, my voice piqued with curiosity as I wait for his response. “How did you know I’m excited?” he chuckles, his rich laugh filling my ears.“Hmmmn, I wonder what could have given it away” I say with mock sarcasm before bursting into laughter. He chuckles, “you and your sarcastic remark, you h

“Please come in,” I say, looking up from my desk. The soft click of the door opening breaks the silence of my office, and Rita walks in, a sheepish look on her face as she makes her way towards me. Her hesitant steps echo slightly on the polished wooden floor, and I can’t help but notice the way her fingers fidget with the hem of her blouse. Ever since the court case, she’s been rather careful with her behavior towards me, mostly because she’s grateful that I didn’t fire her.Rita has always been a bright spark in the office, her laughter infectious and her creativity boundless. But the incident that led to the court case was a significant misstep—one that could have cost her not just her job but also her reputation in this industry. I remember the day vividly, the way the air had crackled with tension as we gathered in the conference room, the weight of the situation pressing down on us. Rita had made a mistake, a grave one, and it had taken every ounce of restraint not to let my fru

I walk into the restaurant, my red dress hugging my body and subtly highlighting my curves. On noticing me, one of the waiters walk towards me, a smile on his face as he approaches me, “Good evening ma’am, how may I serve you today?” He asks.I smile, “good evening” I reply, looking around as I try to find the private room myself. “I’m supposed to meeting my husband for a meal at one of your private rooms, his name is Clark Rique” I say, accepting defeat at my inability to identify one.He nods, pulling out his phone as he scrolls through the list of reservations, “ah, Mr and Mrs Rique, room A1” he says in acknowledgement before looking up at me. “This way ma’am” he says, leading me up the staircase.He pushes the door to the private room open, not stepping inside as he holds the door open for me, “thank you” I say, “are you sure this is the room he booked?” I ask, looking around in suprise at the rooms decoration.The room is filled with a sweet scent of flowers as it is decorated wi

Clark rises to his feet, so that we can hug properly, “thank you, it was long over due” he replies. I nod, “yeah it was, I’m just glad that the work burden on you will slightly reduce” I say, my eyes shining with satisfaction at the news.“Thanks babe” he says, placing a kiss on my cheeks before releasing me from his embrace. “So what’s the second one?” I ask, returning to my seat. He smiles, “the other news is something that’s long overdue. It something that I shoukd have told you from the start of our marriage” he says, his tone serious as he speaks.“Okay, what is it?” I ask, a bit of fear creeping in at what it could me but I maintain a smile as I refuse to let my fear to be evident on my face. “What I want to tell you is the reason why this room is arranged in this manner” he explains and I sigh in relief noting that it could only be something good.“Lara, I know our marriage was that of convenience from the very start. How we went from being enemies to being good friends. It’s f

“Lara” Clark nudges softly, “mmm” I mumble, turning to back him as I attempt to return to sleep. “Baby” he mutters, gently tapping me. “Mmm, what do you want?” I ask, half asleep and half wake.“You need to get up now” he says, his voice sounding urgent. “Why? What’s the time?” I ask, rubbing my eyes, as I make no attempt to move from the bed.“It’s 3am my love, but you need to get up. Lai and Belle are at the hospital” he explains, his voice sounding tired yet urgent. “At the hospital?” I ask, sitting up with a jolt, “why? What happened? Is everything fine?” I say, making an attempt to get off the bed.“Breathe” he says, wrapping his arms around me, “how can you be so calm? Your brother in law and his wife are currently at the hospital. We need to go now” I say, struggling to release myself from his embrace but he keeps his hold on me firm.“Breathe Lara” he instructs once more, “you can go in there panicking” he explains, running his hands down my back to calm her. I shake my head,
