"For a minute there, I thought you were actually going to start a fight with the judge." Natasha muttered as they all got into the car.

"Well, it's a good thing everything turned out nicely at the end," Clayton sighed in relief.

Clayton glanced over at Anna through the rearview mirror; seeing her staring daggers at him made him cast his eyes back to the road.

"You...you did good, Anna," Clayton stuttered, trying to keep his cool.

"I had to be to save your a** right," Anna mumbled and flipped a hand through her hair as she glanced out the window of the car.

The afternoon sky was clear as birds chirped in the distance, creating a peaceful atmosphere inside the car. The tension from earlier seemed to dissipate as they drove away from the event center.

"Clayton, I think it's high time you spill," Anna muttered, turning her eyes back to him.

"You're pretty much going to find out everything, but I think the most important one is the fact that I'm about to go bankrupt," Clayton mutter

    Anna stared straight at Gideon, holding his gaze for a few seconds before looking at the judge."I don't know." Anna responded at last."That would be all, your honor," Elliot said, sighing in relief under his breath."Defense, cross-examine?" the judge asked."No, your honor, we would like to bring Mr. Simon Parker to the stand." Oliver responded."I heard you the first time; go ahead." The judge replied.Simon kissed the heads of the triplets one after the other, ruffling their hair as he walked towards the stand."Mr. Simon, would you tell the court your whereabouts for the first hour of the court session you missed?" Oliver asked."I had to go bring my kids." Simon responded."And why did you have to go bring them? Were they not at home?" Oliver asked."They were kidnapped." Simon responded."And is it Mr. Gideon Parker, your cousin, who kidnapped them?" Oliver asked."Objection, your honor, is is irrelevant and leading." Elliot interjected."Sustained, defense, please rephrase yo

    Gideon took in a sharp breath as his face became as white as a ghost. The whole room was quiet as they watched, unsure of what was going on.Anna stood up slowly, her hands trembling as she moved away from her seat towards them."James? Jasmine? Jayden?" Anna called in shock as tears of relief flooded her eyes."Mom!" The kids shouted and ran over to her, plunging headfirst into her chest."My Lord, we would like to present the evidence and witness now." Oliver said, looking at the judge.The judge looked at Oliver for a while, looked over at the kids still in Anna's arms, and then at Simon, who stood right behind them."Objection, your honor, the case is as good as closed; interruptions like this are only to stop you from making the right decision." Elliot argued, his voice almost pleading.The judge's brow squeezed in displeasure as he asked him, "And what right decision do you think I was about to make?""Hmm, your honor, I …" Elliot started."Last time, Oliver. "After this, any mo

    **********Three Days Later**********It's been three days since Anna had uttered the name, and now the courtroom was in chaos."Order in the court!" The court clerk called out to dispel the chaos that had ensued in the room."What? Did he really do it?""How are the kids connected to this case? Look over there, Anna Howard is sitting there.""The Howard family is here too."Murmurs of what could be flew around the court as everyone stared in awe at the proceeding."Any objections from you again will result in you being removed from court." The judge warned, glaring down at Paul.Oliver had a satisfied smile on his face as he stood there calmly before glancing over to look at Noah.Days after David's outburst at Simon's house and Anna's reveal, here they were, battling it out and hoping to win."Apologies for the outburst from my client, your honor, but the defense's attempt to accuse my client of being a suspect comes without any clear

    David stood there panting as the sky darkened again and lightning struck, casting a brief glow of white on his face.His eyes were bloodshot, glaring fire and brimstone at everyone staring at him."David," Anna called, her voice small and weak.David turned to her and said, "It was all his fault; he took you like you were nothing and offered money like you were just some commodity."Simon took a step forward, but Steve stopped him, placing a hand on his rigid shoulder."Simon, don't. I know right now you're filled with rage, but don't. Think of the triplets; we have no idea who is behind it yet." Steve whispered."You are behind the accident?" Anna asked, her face white like a ghost.David raked a hand through his hair and shouted in frustration as he walked backward a few steps."If you had stayed dead, none of this would be happening, the kids wouldn't be missing, and Anna wouldn't be in this pain." David shouted, pointing at Simon."Did you cause the accident?" Sophia asked, both h

    "The kids? Where?" Simon asked, his voice going frozen with fear."I have no idea; I have no idea Simon, where are my kids?" Anna asked.Sophia, Mia, and Noah all looked at Steve, who only shook his head in response to them."What happened?" Simon asked, looking up at Clayton and Nat.When they didn't answer immediately, he barked again, "What f*king happened?""They were right there in front of the house just as we were planning to head out," Nat stated."And then?" Steve asked."Suddenly they were gone, not a sign, not one sound." Nat continued."Then the letter—it clearly states in the letter," Anna said.Simon pulled her up, and Sophia walked over to them and took her away to sit down."What does it say?" Simon asked as he took the letter."It was dropped on the sidewalk; we have asked around, and no one saw anything." Gideon responded.Simon glanced through the letter, his eyes widening in anger. He turned to Steve and handed over the letter to him."Don't we need to call the poli

    Anna read the text, stood up from the desk, and said, "I'll see you guys at home.""Where are you going?" Clayton asked."To solve a case." Anna responded, smiling at them as she walked to the door.Everything was falling into place one piece at a time; all that was left now was to find out the monster behind that night.Anna knew she could no longer hold Simon in contempt. Looking into the fraud after their confrontation was a huge step for her.When she walked out of the lobby, she headed out the gate and hailed a cab. She gave the driver the address Simon had sent to her.He was standing outside just as he had said he would in his text message when she got there."What's the status?" Anna asked as he showed her into the basement."An expert is needed; that's all my team tells me." Simon replied.They got to the elevator, and Simon pressed the button calling for it."Thanks for coming, Anna; it means a lot."Anna nodded, knowing his trust in her words to check out the fraud was one o
