COURT TALES OF TRUTHFourteen minutes.It was almost time……"It is already time, your Honour, we should proceed." Grandmaster stood up and said.That was the advantage of representing yourself."We still have some more seconds, your Honour." The prosecution quickly added.The judge nodded. Grandmaster stood up to say something again, but his words were interrupted by the loud opening of the door.Everyone's attention was directed towards the door.One after another, all those who were against Grandmaster released breaths they never knew they were holding…surprisingly, even the judge.Disappointment was evident on Grandmaster's face.Dr Edgar accompanied Mr Walborn in the courtroom. Mila and Freya waited outside.When Brantley did not see Mila in the two-man procession, he immediately stood up on his feet and went outside."Which of these men is the supposed witness?" The judge asked even before Dr Edgar and Mr Walborn could reach the front of the courtroom.Dr Edgar indicated that i
THE END."What order, Mr Walborn?" The attorney went ahead to ask Mr Walborn."That Mr Rivers should be eliminated." Silence.Emille clenched his fist beside him.Even though Mr White only walked in, he was sitting on needles. He had his secrets, he knew what was going on. "We have the videos." One of the Court's IT workers announced.It was there, everything….from the squabble in the office to the phone call in the garage.Everyone gasped and turned to look at Mr White.Mrs White passed out.Brantley rushed to his mother.The twins held each other's hand tightly.Brenda leaned back in her chair.Mila's mind was teleported Somewhere else. Carl was bamboozled, he stayed motionless in his chair.Mama Rivers and Papa Rivers….well, there were no words to describe everything.……..All along, Mr White had been pulling the shots. He'd hired Mason based on Mason's greed.Mason had been working for him the entire time….he was the real Grandmaster.He found out about Mr Walborn being alive o
"Sir, it is all set." "Good, on my signal.""Yes Sir.""You see Miles, they are dying because of you. You killed your family…. your dear mother….""Stop, stop…please!"*Sobs*".... your loving Father…..""No ….! Please don't hurt them, I'll do anything you want. I will never try to leave…. I'm begging you please!"*Sobbing continues, heavily*"..... your sweet sister Miriella…""Please Uncle…please Uncle! Kill me instead…. PLEASE!!"*Intense sobbing.*"Oh and baby Mila…"*Tongue clicks*".... unfortunately, you never got to meet her, and now you never will." "I am sorry Uncle, I promise to be a good boy." *More sobbing**Tongue clicks*"Oh Miles, it is too late. I don't tolerate mistakes.""He is your brother, your blood brother…. don't hurt him, don't hurt them, hurt me, do anything that you want with me!""Of course I will, starting from now!""Do it!" *Boooom…..*"Noooooooo!"********************************She grabbed her keys and quickly made it for her car. "Damnit!" She cu
His eyes involuntarily shot open when he felt a cold thin something, placed carefully on his throat."Shush…!" She learned over him with a finger on her lip, insinuating that he'd be quiet.He froze, blood immediately drained from his body and he went on full alert mode.She smiled and gradually withdrew her finger.He dared not to move."What do you want?" He summoned the courage to ask. At least, if he were going to die, he needed to know why."Oh! That hurts." She pretentiously grimaced, without taking the knife off his throat. She was already fully dressed up. The exaggerated V-neck of her gown gave him access to see a good amount of her cleavage, the fact that he spent the last hour devouring her was still not enough to quench his exuberant lustful thirst. For a moment, he got distracted, as his eyes traveled from her cold face to those round succulent mounts of hers. He quickly brought himself back to reality when he remembered that she had a knife held to his throat.She notic
She leaned close to his ear and whispered, " Never cheek me again, do you understand?" She threatened."Uh hmm." He nodded obediently.She let go of him and stood on her feet."I know that your secretary got into an unfortunate situation and can't continue working with you," she spoke confidently as she strolled towards the other side of the room."I'll be replacing her, and you can't fire me." She paused and turned to face him briefly.He was hurryingly trying to put on his boxers, but his eyes were fixated on her… how she swayed her hips provocatively."And yes, speaking about auditions and introductions, I have already passed the interview and…" she paused as she carefully placed her phone in her purse and zipped it.He was fumbling with the buttons of his shirt, but stopped in horror at what she said; 'she is going to be his new secretary?' He asked himself again."... I came here to introduce myself and make sure you understand that the seat you are occupying belongs to my fathe
It was already dark when he left the office. Today was an extremely exhausting day… mostly emotional and mentally exhausting.He spent the day mostly doing nothing except trying to solve a mystery with no facts.He walked absentmindedly to his car, got in and shut the door close.He leaned back in the car seat and relaxed, taking in a deep breath before reaching out to ignite the engine.That was when he felt a presence in the car. The hand that was about to reach for the key froze. He slowly retracted his hand and sat upright.The person behind him stayed silent, but the perfume was familiar.He slowly raised his head to spy through the rear view mirror.His eyes locked with hers. "Drive!" She ordered coldly.She had changed from her slaying office classic suit to a head to too black out fit___ leather pants, a black turtleneck sweater and she crowned it all with an expensive biking black blazer."Just when I thought the day was peaceful." Brant grumbled audibly."What do you want t
"Let's just say that I am unburnable." She said unenthusiastically."Huh?" His eyes bulged. "Uhm… is that a word, unburnable?"She shrugged her shoulders, "who cares, all is that you get the message." She leaned on the car again."Oh!" He nodded."If that is all, then, you can go home." She said when he did not utter a word after a few seconds."No, no... I've got more." He quickly said. "Why do you hate me? I mean, we used to get along pretty well as kids, but now…""We are no longer kids Brant." She cut in aggressively."Oh, ok." Her words pierced through his heart, but he tried not to show his pain. "But you do hate me right? Why?" "If I hated you, you'd be dead already." She said coldly and began walking away from the car towards the dirt road. "I kill the people I hate." She said it indolently as if killing someone was her night routine…. Or maybe it was.Brant shivered. He could not believe what she just said."Oh! where are you heading to? The car is here." He called behind her
"Which should I start with?" Brant asked. "The hectic part or the interesting part?" He added."The interesting part"His parents answered in unison.He raised his head and stared at his parents."Mila Rivers is alive."Mr White was about to pick up the glass in front of him, but his hand froze in mid air. The angel of silence made a solid stand in the room.All the heads at the table turned to face their father. Surprised or fright, or both was discernible on his face.Mrs White and Brant interpreted his look to a it-is-hard-to-believe-that-my-best-friend's-family-member-is-alive look.The girls were nonchalant about what was happening and they went back to digging into their meals.The twins were just babies when the accident occurred while Brenda was not even an idea at that time."How is that possible?" Mrs White was the first to recover from the shocking revelation. She looked from her husband to her son."I saw her." Brant said."Where? It can not be, I saw the bodies." Mr Whi
