Chase's POVI cannot believe that Belinda is willing to help his sister. How can she even want to do that? Her sister is one of the most awful people I have ever met. Belinda just called me and told me she is taking her sister to her old apartment and will be helping her with her divorce case. She said she would explain everything to me later. I am pissed off! How can she let that woman use her like this? She better have an excellent explanation because I will not allow it. I will not allow Belinda's family to use her anymore. I love her. I cannot even pursue her because of her family. I want her mother's murder case to be solved. I want Belinda to get her revenge. I want us to move on and become a family. We cannot do that while her family is still in her life. I will never understand a woman. Belinda's heart is too soft. I went to pick up Connor at school today. He looks at me, and he can see that I am angry. He can see that I am upset, and I know I will have to learn how to contro
Chase's POV As I am kissing Belinda, my phone rings. I do not want Belinda to go, but she's pushing me away. I guess I will have to answer my bloody phone. Why do people always call at the wrong time? This is not fun at all. I am not delighted with right now with whoever is calling. I grab my phone and answer it without looking at who it is. The better be important. I am not happy right now! "What?" I answer rudely, and Belinda looks at me like I am the most evil person in the world. "I'm sorry, Mr Stone. Did I catch you at a bad time?" Jerry, my detective friend, answers. "No. Sorry, Jerry, I was just in the middle of something. Do you have any news about the car?" I ask. "Yes, the forensics team that went over the car found that someone did tamper with the vehicle. Not only just the brakes. However, we found no trace of Henry Jones or his wife being involved. It will be challenging to prove they tampered with the car," Jerry says. "What if I tell you that I have proved that
Henry's POVChristina and I are drinking coffee in my office when the police arrive. I do not know what they want from us. My secretary let the detectives into my office. She looks curiously at us but does not ask any questions. She knows I will not tell her what is happening in my private life. I do not like my personal to understand what is happening in my life. Besides, even if she asks, I do not know why they are here. I show my secretary to leave."Mr and Mrs Jones, we want you to come to our offices because we have a few questions," One of the detectives says. They aren't there with a few ordinary cops. I can see Christine panicking. I show her to keep her mouth shut."May I ask in connection with what it is?" I ask."It is in connection with the murder of Mrs Morris, your first wife," The detective answers. "I have no idea what you are talking about. My wife died in a car accident. It was a long time ago. Why would you call it murder? My wife's surname was Jones and not Morris
Jerry's POVWe have a warrant to search Jones' office the searches office. We do not know how we will open the safe, but he will have to give us a combination to the safe. I am sure he will not do that and will not cooperate. We go through his desks and files, leaving his office in a mess. We got someone to review his computer files, then went to his house and searched them. We found an old laptop. However, we only see a few old emails that may help us. We are waiting for an expert to open the safe in his office. We found nothing in his office or his house besides the old laptop, with some conversations between him and the investigator of that time, Harry Simmons. It is evident in the conversations that I have been working together. It will help our case against him and Simmons. There is also a blood test that proves that Amanda Jones, who is almost the same age as Belinda Stone, is the child of Mr Jones. At last, we get to save open and find a lot of discriminating evidence. We find
Amanda's POV I am busy working in my office when my phone rings. I do not know the number, so I answer the phone. "Amanda, it's me, Mommy. I need your help. I am in jail, and I do not know how to get out of this. I am sure you have seen what has happened to me and your father. They are trying to blame us for the death of Belinda's mother. I am sure she is behind all of this, and I was hoping you could come to the jail and get me out of here. I hate that bitch. I wish she never came back. Ever since she came back, everything has gone wrong for us. I want you here, and I need you, my daughter. Please come and help Mommy. I need you. I know that you are the only one that cares for me. I used my only call to call you. Will you help me? Will you represent me? Can you get me bail? Can you go to Jake and his parents and ask him to help us with money for bail?" My mother cries. "Are you crazy? After all you have done? I never want to see you again. I never want to see father again. You s
Belinda's POV The following morning, Chase and I are in my office. He came to drink coffee with me. I have promised him that I will allow him to become closer to me. Amanda comes storming into my office. She seems excited. I do not know if she's upset or not. She hardly greets us. "Father and my mother were arrested for the murder of your mother! I always knew they did it, but this shocked me. I never wanted to believe it. I do not know if I'm happy or sad. They got what they deserved. But you have to see all the videos on the Internet. They raided our father's office. They got more evidence," Amanda says. I look at Chase. He said they will be arrested soon. However, I did not expect it to be this soon. "Thanks to you, this case has been broken wide open. If you did not give us the evidence you had, we would not have had a case against him, and we couldn't continue with the case. I do not want you to worry. I want you to understand that I will be here for you forever. You don't ne
Belinda's POV As I thought it took a long time for my parents to appear in court for the first time, they were applying for bail, but it was denied. I am glad they were denied bail. Amanda, Chase, and I were all in court. Christine started crying when she saw Amanda sitting next to me. Amanda told me that Jake would take the case. He postponed all his plans. He had to go overseas to represent Christine. And I know it is because he wants to be famous. I know he's not one of the best lawyers, and Christine does not stand a chance of getting out of it. We leave the courtroom, and Amanda excuses herself, eager to return to the office. She has been enjoying her job lately, and I know Halgart is very impressed with her work. I am proud of my sister and am glad she is improving. Halgart is letting her help him on one of his bigger cases, and I trust Helgart as he will never put his job, reputation, or our firm in a difficult position. The best thing that could have happened to Amanda is t
Belinda's POVWe drive to Connor's School to pick him up. He looked surprised to see his father and me because usually, only one of us goes to pick him up. He seems excited when he sees both of us. He runs to the car, and Chase gets out fast to ensure Conner's safety. He grabs Connor into his arms and carries him to the car."Mom, I am so happy you and Dad are here to fetch me today. Are you not working?" Connor asks. "No, honey, we have a surprise for you. We are going to spend the rest of the day together. We are going to go to the zoo and have a picnic there. Will you like that?" I ask."I would love it, Mommy! I cannot wait for us to be a family for the whole day. Grandma and Grandpa want me to come and visit them this weekend. Can I? I like to go and play at their house, but I want to spend more time with them," Connor says. "I am sure we can arrange it for this weekend. Will you miss Mommy and Daddy?" I ask. I am afraid that Connor is not used to being away from me. He might g
