Nena as well was found seated alongside Lucile who was also silent as she stared at Nena do her own. writing down in her notepad on the table.
The silence in the room was soon cut short soon after as the judge called B.J to stand up and receive his verdict.
BJ stood up and then the Judge began to speak.
“the verdict!” he began, hitting the gavel on his desk. “ It seems we have reached a climax here as we have all heard diverse perspectives of the story from both parties here, the prosecution and the defendants. Now in as much you both have made very compelling and commendable arguments, there is still need for Justice to be served and upheld.” He now sat upright and adjusted his gl

He felt like he had finally won in the feud between him and Madinni as she had not yet shown any signs of retribution , although he kept his guard up for he knew he could not be so sure about it , and she could as well take him by surprise with a swing of unexpected action without him even seeing it coming.He swung from right to left on his rotational desk seat , tilting himself in perfect balance as he relaxed his back on it . he exhaled a puff of smoke from his Cuban cigar through the cavity perforated in the mouth region of his mask.He seemed to be enjoying his own company in solitude and the serenity that came with it.Unf

It made sense , considering that all hell was about to break down on the city soon when maestro finally swings to action.Nadia madinni was sitting comfortably in her couch at home with her guards standing alert behind her.She was silently taking gradual sips off the glass of cocktail she had in her hands. She even dared to shed a smile albeit it’s bitter taste. Probably that was how confident she was about the whole situation. Or not..Some of her guards were now racing down from the stairs with several luggages on their hands.They had little Victoria Madinni by their side who walked slowly with her hands cloaked underneath the black hoodie she was wearing alongside a pale face.Both her and the guards now arrived before Nadia in the sitting room who was now taking her last si

Lucile’s parents were already there awaiting their arrival for a minute now.They reached the compound and Nena parked her vehicle at their garage. Lucile was the first person that elated the vehicle and Nena followed suite a minute later. Both their faces were pale, obviously from the confession that Lucile had just shared earlier while In the car. Nena was filled with rage.The realisation that she had just convicted the wrong person of a heinous crime and sent him away for a very long time didn’t sit right with her at all. It didn’t feel like a win to her anymore. It didn’t feel like justice.She had convicted many of several crimes before but had never bothered to ask for the true story. Her work ethics didn’t permit her to inquire for the truth but rather for only evidences that will help her win the case and convict the felon of the indicted

Down at the district police station where Nadia Madinni had been apprehended and was now being held, the police were judicious about their normal activities and had not yet been able to begin her questioning yet. They just detained her in the interrogation room in the hopes that she would get anxious till her brain blows out but to their disappointment, she didn’t.As a matter of fact, the reverse was the case here. the police detective who had captured her stepped into the room and found her staring sternly at the wall in front of her while placing her cuffed hands on the table.The detective stared at her curiously, Nadia was silent as he expected but she looked rather too composed for a felon. Anyways, that was not his business, his only job here was to carry out a very judicious interrogation in finding out what really went down back there in the streets.The detective was a tall man with dark skin and bald head. he was lanky and had a funn

Nena was still confused as to why everyone at the dining table was just eating and no one was talking yet. She looked at Mr and Mrs Johnson and neither of them seemed to be ready to talk or give an explanation as they promised. She wasn’t at this table to share a meal with them.

Give me your own side of the story else I’ve have no other option than to be left with the impression that you all are very terrible people”“you mean to say you don’t have that impression already?” Mr Johnson asked, dropping down his fork on his plate and finally raising up his head&nbs
