It was the day of the hearing from the court. The hall was filled with all sorts of people. The journalists, barristers and viewers who had come to see how the case goes.The judge was seated while Joe was brought before the judge as the case was to begin.Mrs. Caleb was comfortably seated in the front roll along side her teenage son Samuel.Emily was also seated at the front roll of the other edge. Where her brother stood in the counter in front of her.Vanessa, Drake and other workers of the company were also present.Tasha sat down with some documents in front of her. While her opponent. Mrs. Caleb's lawyer kept chewing bubble gum and looking mockingly at her."Why haven't Bella arrived yet?" Emily questioned herself and decided to call her phone.The case was opened by the judge and the hearing proceeded.Mrs. Caleb's lawyer began with the case."My Lord, my client's husband died on Saturday in his office through gun shuts. Research has proven it that the master mind behind this a
“please you have to find out what happened to Bella, nothing must happen to her” Joe pleaded with them while the sergeant dragged him away.“Hey! Go easy with him, he is still a wealthy man, you know?” Emily yelled at the sergeant. “Gosh! They are so disrespectful” as he added.“I think something is wrong with Bella not showing up” Emily spotted.“I think she was just too afraid to show up in a court. I mean, with the popularity of a court like this, anyone would be afraid to show their faces here.“No! I disagree with you. She must have been threatened in that case, she had always been threatened by that monster Eric. I bet he had a way to get to her again” Emily suggested.Tasha heaved, a sign of fear and folded her hands.“Any ideas?” Emily asked.“Just leave that to me. You should keep your distance now. I would rather not be caught seen with you because it is not allowed” Tasha admitted.“Please, try your best to get my brother out” Emily pleaded one more time and then departed t
The news of Joe's sentence was everywhere on the news, as though the people expected this to happen to him. This we as the actual being of trouble for him.He would actually be powerless if he stays in prison, and Eric might just have the upper hand in the play.Whatever it takes, he will make sure Eric everything he has taken from him.***Joe nodded in shame as he walked pass the prison yard alongside two security guards.He had begun to picture his life in a cell and was not comfortable with the thought at all.This clandestine frame up of Eric has truly left him crappy.Joe could feel the negative vibes emulated by these prisoners. He could tell he wasn't meant to be there. As though they had been his enemies all along.“Whoop ooh!” Joe heard the comments and thumbs down that were given to him as he patrolled alongside the security guards.“Don't worry, you will not be staying with any of those dudes” the security assured as they mocked him with a laugh.Joe looked at them with an
Eric framed me to this. He killed Caleb, and now I am blamed for it” “I therefore announce you guilty of the charges placed upon you. Therefore, You shall remain five years in prison” these words echoed in Joe's ears as he tried to gain his balance after being knocked down on the floor. His legs hurt as the fracture was only just recovering. He was advised to still use wheelchair, but he refused.“I came to your office that day, as a friend of your father's” Allen spoke. “My father and yours had cooperated for a long time, you know” Allen scoffed and found it hard to continue his story.“My father died recently, and it was discovered that he had numerous debts. The company was what he used as a collateral” he cried.“I could not bear to see the company I have worked had to achieve crumble within a twinkle, so I pleaded with them to give me some time” he nodded in disappointment and frowned at Joe who kept an innocent gaze at him.“Collecting loan from the bank would be a lot worse, so
Miss Tasha, Emily called as they got closer to her.“Oh dear! What are you guys doing here?”she questioned and stood still to receive them.The cop did not relent in his chase to catch the girls. They all stopped before Tasha. Emily winked an eye to Tasha to defend her.“Don't worry, they're with me” Tasha said to the cop.“Please be quick, mam. I might be dismissed from my duties if they learned I allowed this” the cop warned.“Oh dear, we will make it snappy” Tasha assured.“Go ahead then” the cop said to them.“Thank you so much, Tasha” Emily whispered to her ears.“Go and see him” Tasha advised.***“Oh! You are back?” Allen recited the words excitedly.“Welcome back” Collin said with a frown. He appeared rather furtive to Joe.When Joe decided to follow his gaze, which met Allen with a tight fist heading for his face.Thanks to the sound of the door opening, Allen's hand took a different turn and landed on Collin's jaw. He landed on the floor instantly. “Peter!” The warder call
“Look at you, you look so weak” Eric mocked her.“Monster!” She called him as she was panting to her death.“You see, both of us have always loved each other, but you did not just know it” Eric stated.She stared at him annoyingly while he glared at her.“Now that you are about to die, I will do the honor of revealing myself to you” Eric said while taking a deep breath. “I am Michael Peter. The actual Peter” he disclosed.“You liar!” Vanessa forced the words out of her lips.“Where do I start from? Hum! How about six years ago when the accident happened between Eric and me?” Eric started the story. “We were both rushed to the hospital, I was conscious, but Eric was dead. When they told me, I did not feel remorse. But what I felt remorse for was that I was still alive and with numerous enemies after my life. So I made a deal with the doctor for a plastic surgery to look like Eric and someone else to look like me. And that was when the doctor thought of using the old man who had drowne
“Get up! Get up!” Allen woke them up.“What is it?” Joe mumbled from his sleep.“Yeah! It is not even morning yet, why wake us up?” Collin asked while itching his body.“We need an escape plan now” Allen whispered.“What do you mean an escape plan, are you out of your senses?” Joe questioned.“The man is going knots” Collin admitted.“I know what I am saying guys and try to use whispers before we get caught” Allen warned. “ We will be taken to prison center tomorrow, far away from here, no chance of escape there. Only suffering” Allen explained.“Do you think it is possible to escape?” Collin asked.Allen brought out a phone and waved it at them.Collin had a corner smile, but the expression showed that he was confused. “How did you get that?” He had to ask.“Never mind give me that!” Joe demanded as he stretched his hand to collect the phone.He dialed Emily's number immediately. It was not going through at first, but then it finally went through.“Hello, who is this?” Emily asked.
“No, no, please stop!” Emily yelled as she ran after the moving truck.“Get in the car, miss!” Her bodyguard yelled.Emily ran into the car quickly and asked the driver to follow the truck quickly.There was no way they would have caught up with them, so they had to give up their chase.Emily feared that freeing Joe from prison may turn out to be a bad idea, “Paul, take me back home” she commanded.***By the time Emily got home, Bella wasTerrible b already sleeping on the couch.Emily kept wondering why Bella had to come that night? What could be so important?Emily located a bedspread and covered her on the couch. She then retired to her room to get to bed.Her mind flashed through the consequences her brother would face once he gets out of prison.All she ever wanted was for him to be safe. Nothing else really matters.***“What is taking them so long?” Joe questioned himself while gnashing his teeth.“I bet they can't do it. This is a prison not a clubhouse, security is tight” C
