The announcement came” every one please be seated as the court will start shortly”The plaintiff lawyer was the first one to stand up. Ivan knew the man, in fact he was one of his mentors back when he was still gaining feet in his career. He began to wonder where Joel got him from. He had heard some rumours recently that the lawyer was unscrupulous and that was why he cut his ties with him.“Your honor, my name is Mr. Daniel Cooper and I will be representing the plaintiff. In my introduction, I would like to state that I have studied this case in length and I have to say that my clients have the right to the land which I will demonstrate shortly. Thank you ‘he finished and sat down.Joel nodded his head in agreement. Celine thought “how could someone be this evil? Next the defendant’s lawyer stood up. Ivan Barret also did his introduction with his head held high with confidence. Even if he looked to this man before for advises, he will not intimidate him at all. Now more than ever, h
Director Erick couldn’t contain his anger anymore and ended up shouting “He is lying, I personally met him with my fellow director and we signed all the agreements. We paid him the full amount of the money. How can you lie like that? Please tell the truth.”The judge hit the table” Please behave in my court. The defendant lawyer, advise your people to have some disciple or I will throw them out of the court.” I understand your honour” Ivan replied politely.“Director Erick, please calm down, I will handle everything” Ivan tried to console him, he was already worked up and he was sweating everywhere. That stupid man has been paid and so he had the guts to look into his eyes and tell a lie.“You see ,my client had been threatened because they knew that they didn’t have the rightful papers. So my honour, I arrest my case because it is clear that my client is the owner who is being wronged here” Daniel said and went to sit down.“Alright, I think that we have heard from the plaintiff si
The man assumed as if he didn’t hear what Lina was saying and addressed Jared “Please, you should go home before any unnecessary scene again. Whatever happens here will automatically affect the outcome of our case. I will take care of Lina, okay”Jared chuckled sarcastically” he was just happy to see how miserable Lina was looking but what amazed him was how Ivan had the patience to stand in for the woman when he didn’t even like her.Celine turned to Lina” Bestie will you be, okay?”“Celine let her be. She is in good hands. I think it is so good to let them sort out their issues or continue the hate.” Jared muttered excitedly and Ivan stared daggers at him. Here he was compromising with the unbearable woman to protect him and Celine, he wasn’t even appreciating it.“Don’t worry about me, at least I have told that piece of shit my mind.” She said but inside her mind, she kept on screaming” please don’t leave me alone with him, Celine. I really fear this jerk. What will he do to me? Bu
Somehow, he felt at ease while kissing her. It was this strange feeling that made him lose his patience at the time when she took advantage of him. Not really……he enjoyed ravishing those full and inviting lips and he couldn’t wait to taste them again.It has been driving him crazy since the day that he tasted them. He couldn’t sleep without thinking about her, but why did this happen to him. It had to be the woman that he didn’t want to associate with.Lina surrendered, this was too much for her to be able to have some control. The man held her tenderly and kissed her passionately while letting her know that people can be different. He made her realize that there was a slight chance that she could feel something special with a man.Lina responded with her own hungry and unrestraint desire giving the man an opportunity to completely consume her. They were floating somehow in their own world, no one could have imagined that not long ago, the two were enemies who didn’t seem to see eye t
“I promise. Anyway, let us not talk about the court case. Let us do something interesting. We have to learn how to balance challenges and good times” the moment he finished saying those words his mouth landed on her” Oh...…he didn’t know how long she had been longing to kiss him and transfer all her frustrations to this.She has been silently keeping everything bottled inside. She wanted to kick or punch something but there was none. So it was good to know that there was someone giving her opportunity to release everything.“Yeah…. I think we have wasted enough time.” She said coquettishly. Any way she had been through so many problems, it was a high time that she started putting them aside for her own happiness. Happiness only come to those people who embrace it but if you keep on focusing on all the things that were negative in life, it would weigh on your shoulders.“Huh…..I thought that you weren’t in the mood, but now that I have gotten your message, let us get started.” He l
Dean too followed him and sat next to him.The judges walked in to the court room and the occupants stood up in their respects. After they had sat down, it was time to begin the day’s proceedings.“ Everyone thank you so much for coming early .As you know, we are still on the land issue case and so I would like to give the defendant lawyer a chance to state his side of the story.” The head of the judges announced.“Thank you my honor for the opportunity. As I had said before, I still insist that our client is the rightful owner of this land. I have provided all the signed documents including the plaintiff’s witness own signature. I do hope you will consider this during your judgment. Cutting the story short, may I invite a witness to the stand?“You may proceed” the judge ordered.Director Erick stood up and headed to the stand. He swore that he will tell nothing but the whole truth. Celine looked at him and encouraged him a bit, she just hoped that his statement will give a different
“Are you sure you want to do this? ” he asked as he knew that he never wanted it to come to this, but due to his failure, Jared was considering something he never thought he will ever do in his life.Before he lost his mind back then, he was the best that there was .He was famous and the most expensive professional in the whole country. After recovering, people didn’t trust him anymore, even the judges shunned him saying that he wasn’t competent enough to handle any case. Who would have blamed them? He just got crazy and was locked up. But today for this clueless woman he was ready to become that powerful man again and let him see if the thugs in the house will defeat him.Jared nodded and Ivan smiled devilishly. He went to Daniel and muttered” don’t celebrate yet, I am going to appeal the case” he sneered and Daniel didn’t seem to mind him. This kid was just a piece of cake that he can trample on however he wanted. Even if he appealed it with different evidence, he will still wi
“Idiot” he cursed and went away seeing that he was out numbered. Celine sure bought so many people with her fake innocence, but soon he will unmask her. This humiliation he has just suffered will not go unpunished.“Baby, I will leave as I have seen that you are with the right company. Things will turn out well, whenever you need anything from your Daddy, just pick up your phone and give me a call, okay. Right now, I need to deal with something urgent “Patrick kissed Celine on her cheeks and then shook Jared’s hands before turning to leave.“I will leave too, Celine. I just remembered that I need to go to the salon. I have an appointment. “Lina said hurriedly as if he was ready to jump off the window. Celine smiled then placed her hands lightly on her shoulder “since when do you do appointments for your hair? Don’t you remember, we used to walk in to the saloon because we used to think that booking an appointment will cost us more? Huh… this is so funny, my friend. I don’t know where
