THIRTY THREE
Calvin turned to her with a furrowed brow. Just now the woman said something that sounded a little different from their previous plan.
While still concentrating on the fairly busy street in front of him, he asked Hazel one more time to confirm the woman's words.
"You were sayin’ about? Tacoma?”
"Yes. Take me to Tacoma. I want to stay overnight there. You don't mind, do you?"
"No. Actually we still have plenty of time, so I'm pretty relaxed. Just what are we going to Tacoma for?”
He was starting to think that Hazel had gotten carried away with him these few days that she wanted one more stopover that had absolutely nothing to do with their plans. But is Hazel really that kind of woman? He doubted she had that thin of a defense against a man's charm. If she wasn't a tough woman, she would have had another lover or partner after Rick. So of course this is definitely not that.
"Katrina. I want to go there to see her house. I haven't been t

Her heart was beating fast, and she was a little embarrassed when she felt the man's gaze on her several times when they were in the same car like this. Pedro is a kind and gentle man. His past with his wife who has cancer makes Emma feel sympathy for the man. These days Pedro often comes to the park, where she takes care of the children. He showed a very high interest in the children who were busy running here and there. Sometimes Pedro also helps her to put the kids in order when it's nap time. Even though he only had thirty minutes to visit the daycare, it felt like it meant more than anything to Emma. Pedro's attitude indirectly shows real sincerity. Compared to other people with a style that is too pretentious, Pedro looks much better with his attitude that is still willing to make time in the midst of his busy schedule as a businessman. "This is your house?" "Yes, this is my house." Tucking a strand of her hair that hung down the side of her face, Emma thanked
DESPERATE LOVE THIRTY FIVE
With hasty and galloping steps, Emma walked over to the terrace to see Richmond's clearly disorganized state. Behind her Pedro followed at a more relaxed pace and seemed unconcerned. Because of that man, his chance to seduce Emma has failed. His intention to kill Emma also failed. But that's okay, he'll try again tomorrow. After all, he had more chances to snare Emma as long as the useless man remained indifferent to his wife. "Who is he, Em? Argh damn my back!” The man cursed as he tried to climb the stairs to the terrace. Several times he seemed to be rubbing his own back which Emma didn't know what was behind her husband's painful body? Which caused her husband to look that angry. “This is Pedro, one of the donors at my workplace. Are you okay, Rich?” "Do I look okay?" said Richmond curtly as he turned around. "Look at my back, did that damn bastard manage to make a hole at my back?" Emma hesitantly approached and checked her husband's stra

Suddenly today the courtroom was thrown into an uproar by Hazel's sudden decision to ask for a hearing date to be moved forward. Her firm stance and determined determination made it impossible for anyone to stop her from adjourning the trial until tomorrow morning. In just an hour, all the preparations for the trial had been done. The witnesses had also been summoned to appear in court, one hour before the sudden preparations were made. Hazel, who had just entered the courtroom, looked satisfied to see the sudden preparations made by her staff. She regretted that this had to be done now, but she had no other choice but to do it. This trial must be done immediately before something bad happens. Especially with Richmond showing up last night at Katrina's house, it would really make her plans with Calvin worse. But while she had her trial today, the man would be busy looking for Calvin all over Seattle. "Is everything ready? The witnesses?" Hazel asked o

She was forced to appear in front of dozens of journalists to give an official statement regarding all the problems that have occurred recently. Starting from the break-in at her apartment by Calvin to the suicide incident by Gabe today. But from all the statements she said, the reporters were more interested in the rumors about Emily that were horrendous to many parties. That might be her fault. She hadn't thought about the repercussions of not publishing Emily as her niece instead of her daughter. “I protect my daughter's mental condition. She was too young to deal with things like this, so I decided not to publish her. But those closest to me already know it.” “We had an interview with Rick Arkenzie a few days ago. Mr. Arkenzie claims to know nothing about your daughter, Your Honor Hayes." Hazel growled behind the fake smile she was showing the reporters. Rick has always been a troublemaker in her life. "Rick really doesn't know. We parted
DESPERATE LOVE THIRTY EIGHT
All of this was disgusting. He squeezed the clipping tightly and caused some of the fragile paper edges to tug and tear. It's clear that Amanda Priston has a special relationship with Baron Priston. Whether the man was her husband or a relative, but he was sure that Amanda was the mastermind behind the murder of the Duffal family. But to Calvin's frustration, he can't just use old clippings as evidence for Amanda's crimes. Indeed, there was the figure of Amanda, in a crowd of people watching the evacuation process taking place in the Gulf of Mexico. But maybe Amanda was just there just looking around like the others. The accusations against the woman were not strong enough to shift the charges against him on the woman. Not to mention the true identity of The Witness he can't reveal yet. That person was really very good at hiding. It could be that the figure of The Witness he is looking for is Amanda or someone else, who clearly has a strong be

It's as if all this weirdness hasn't finished looming over her. Gabe Anderson was found dead in her locked room after drinking tea spiked with insect poison. When found, the woman's mouth was filled with white foam and her face looked so pale it was almost white. Gabe Anderson's death momentarily shocked all of the trial participants, including the witnesses who previously claimed to still see Gabe chatting with them at breakfast this morning. The coroner has now brought Gabe's body for an autopsy along with tea and bug spray found in the backyard. Hazel lay her head down in frustration on her desk when she heard her secretary's voice inviting someone into her room. But for now she refuses to meet anyone. She had to evict her guest from her room immediately because she needed to calm down for a moment and think. "Your Honor Hayes." Hazel lifted her head and didn't seem too interested in welcoming her guest who was a man, well-dressed, friendly, and so

"I didn't know you were going to kill Gabe." Under the shade of a dark tree and relying solely on lighting from a garden lamp three meters away, the two people talked to each other. Seriously speaking about Gabe's death which wasn't actually caused by suicide. One of them had planned the death to escape their crime which would soon be caught by law enforcement officials if Gabe was left alive to testify. "At first it wasn't." Amanda exhaled roughly and then looked at her interlocutor with sad eyes. “Gabe is my favorite maid. I have treated her like my own daughter. Moreover she has same smile like Anna if she were alive now. But I had to do it.” The man snorted. “Your impulsive actions invite another danger. The plan is in danger of failing. Especially with Calvin disappearing like a ghost, we can't rely on him to be the scapegoat anymore." "Sorry." Amanda looked down regretfully. This kind of life was not the life she wanted. She was forced t
DESPERATE LOVE FORTY ONE
The funeral service for the Duffals did not take place at the Duffal residence and was carried out directly at the Seattle Church for various reasons. The police in charge of the case argued that the Duffal family's funeral service would attract the interest of civil society as well as journalists, so it was better to hold the funeral at the Seattle church and hold social gathering for the Duffal family's friends or relatives at their mansion after the funeral was over.Hazel had already guessed that a crowd of curious civilians would meet her in front of the church this morning and she should have left earlier to avoid the crowds that packed the churchyard. But because she was too exhausted last night, she made a reckless decision that resulted in her getting stuck in the car because of the long line of people looking for a parking space as well as people walking around the main road carelessly.Time and time again she looked at her watch just to sigh and complain tha
