The court's verdict
“On the charges of Sexual assault and physical Assault, the court finds the accused… not guilty!” the judge announced.The entire courtroom broke into chaos at that announcement as no one had seen the verdict coming; Jimmy smirked immediately as he was the only one who expected that. Getting off a rape case was nothing that money couldn’t buy, he just had to pay the judge a little visit and empty half of his personal trust fund into the Judge’s account in exchange for his freedom. He knew he could always make back the money as CEO, so it was better than serving jail time.The only people excited at the court were Jimmy’s parents, his sister Rebecca didn’t look happy at all, she had been looking forward to hearing the court sentence him to at least ten years in prison. She knew that he must have found a way to pull out of this one.“Mr. Jimmy James Junior is hereby acquitted of all charges and the accuser is deemed punishable by the law for wasting the court’s time, she will also face

Celebrating the win
“I told you Dad, I told you that I was innocent and yet you wouldn’t believe me… the court has proved that today, that girl is a thief and a liar, she had falsely accused me and now she will face the consequences,” Jimmy bragged as soon as they got home.Mr. James Queen sighed and shook his head; not like he wanted his son to go to prison but he knew that the court’s judgment wasn’t fair, he was however glad that this issue had come to an end already.“Forget about that, I know you are excited but the case is in the past now, so let's concentrate on what matters.” He suggested with a solemn face“Okay, but what is more important than celebrating my success today, I just won a court case that could have sent me to jail…” Jimmy argued with a wrinkled face, he just couldn’t understand why his parents would be happy for him, it is true that he was guilty as charged but they didn’t know that.“How about a certain company that you put in your friend’s name a few weeks back? Why don’t we sta

She felt proud of her big brother instantly, knowing that he had accomplished something this big.She quickly headed into the company where she met the receptionist on the first floor. She had scheduled an appointment with the Personal Secretary and assistant to the CEO, so the handsome young man at the desk pointed her in the right direction.Rebecca was thrilled with the arrangement and decoration of the building, both the architect and the other engineers involved had all done a good job with the place.

The place was so quiet that she doubted there was anyone available, so why did the receptionist send her here?She examined the place slowly and noticed t

Confronting Steve
Jimmy climbs down from the car, he is standing in front of Queen Enterprises. He looks around and it feels like he was a stranger in this place. He didn’t like the feeling he was getting from the environment.Jimmy got back into his car and took something out of the front box, he slid it behind his shirt and covered it properly with his jacket. Slowly, he climbed up the stairs at the threshold of the company while observing the place.He wasn’t a regular visitor here but certainly, the people here should be able to recognize him. He is the son of the founder and owner of the Company, James Queen… Even if they don’t know him for good things, they would certainly know him for the bad things he has been involved with; in order words, he should be popular around here, so why is everyone giving him the stranger look?He got into the building and walked past the front security without a care, why does he need to identify himself? This was his company! One of the security men gave him a weir

Betrayed!!
About four security men came trooping into the office immediately but Jimmy was quick to aim the gun at them, making them pause on their tracks. “No one comes closer and they will get a bullet!!” he warned.“Just relax man, let's talk this through, I swear the whole thing was a joke, don’t do something that you will regret.” Steve pleaded.“Oh, is it a joke now? I will give you a chance to sign those damn papers and then leave this company, never to return… go ahead and sign it immediately!!” Jimmy yelled and turned the gun back towards Steve while carefully watching the security guards.“Alright… I will sign it, just calm down man, calm down!” Steve begged.“Don’t waste my time or you will get a bullet through your legs first, don’t think that I cannot do it because I sure can. Take the pen now and start signing!!” Jimmy ordered with a warning, his heart beating fast and his eyes moving from one corner of the room to another.“Okay, I am on it,” Steve replied in fear, trying not to s

Jimmy is arrested
“So Jimmy was like, I knew it, you don’t love me, why? Is it because I am not your favorite son?” Rebecca narrated and they all burst into laughter.“Does he always use that line?” Aria asked immediately.“Well, it is the only line he has got these days, I mean… ever since Xavier showed up, he is always trying to play victim, with Xavier being the favorite son that they never had. He doesn’t hesitate to pull that card whenever he is denied something.” Rebecca replied.Xavier hummed and shook his head, “Then we should better clear that up. I have no intention of stealing his spot in the family, let him know that the next time you see him.”“You mean if he wishes to talk to me?” Rebecca scoffed. “Your so-called twin brother has been running a one man crusade lately, he doesn’t even tell father what he is up to, he just does whatever he feels like doing. Can you believe that he trusts that Steve guy more than he trusts his own family?”“Pfft… that can't be true, I am sure he cares but he

Bailing the ex CEO
Xavier watched Rebecca as he drove into the precinct, she might pretend all she wants to care less about her brother but the truth still remains that she cared about him, why else would she be panicking at the news that he almost killed someone and could possible be seeing the four corners of the jail room if charges are filed.He parked his car at a good spot and they immediately walked into the station. It was not hard to locate the Queen family as once again, they had come to the police station. It was slowly becoming a regular thing now, visiting the police station.Mr. and Mrs. Queen are surprised to see Xavier show up at the scene, they had almost mistaken him for Jimmy but it didn’t make sense that he was coming in from the front door dressed in an office suit.“Xavier?” his mother called softly, shocked to see him. She was beginning to think that she would never see him again after he legally disowned them, so what brought him here today?“Mother,” Xavier replied softly, with

The favorite son returns
The Queen family came outside the station and learnt that Jimmy had left with their driver, it appears that he hadn’t taken his car keys from the cops who made the arrest and so he chose to leave with the family car.“Fucking son of a bitch!” Rebecca cursed out loud.“Hey, easy on the language,” Susan scolded immediately and she sighed.“It is okay, I can take you all back in my car if you don’t mind,” Xavier offered.“Are you sure about that? But Rebecca said you had both come from your office, don’t you need to go back?” Mr. Queen asked.“I will, Dad. After you are all safe at home, come on… let's go,” he replied and headed to his car.Rebecca stared at her parents and smiled, she gave them that face, like saying… “I told you, he is the perfect son that you never had.”They all followed Xavier to his car and got in, with Rebecca at the front seat with him. He immediately drove off as he needed to be back at the office before closure, he had promised Aria that he would come back earl

We lost the company
Once again, the Queens family was gathered in their living room. It was just yesterday that they had gotten Jimmy out of police custody for attempting to kill his best friend Steve.“What else is new, Dad? You sent for me?” Jimmy groaned as he took a seat far from them.Rebecca was the missing member of the family, she didn’t see how any of the latest developments affected her, it was not her problem to worry about.“Well, your friend just cut us off and by that, I mean that our trust fund from the company is frozen, the son of a bitch cut us out and now we only have our personal trust fund to rely on.” Mr. James announced.“Huh? What are you saying, Dad?” Jimmy asked with wide eyes.“I am saying that if nothing is done in the next few weeks, we are going to be broke… Believe me; in a few weeks from now, we won’t be able to afford anything.” He explained.“That is crazy, how can we suddenly go poor? What happened to all the money in your personal account?” Jimmy queried, while drippi

bankruptcy
Jimmy staggered into the house to meet his angry looking parents. He smiled gleefully. “Hey pops!” he said loudly and quickly held the wall for support.From the wide smiles on his face, anyone could tell that it wasn’t just alcohol. He was high on molly as well; a substance that makes me people happy for no reason.Mr. James Queen sighed and folded his arms. “Seriously son? We are running out of funds and you are spending what you have left on drinks. Look around you, there are no more maids or security details because we are unable to afford them anymore, yet you go around spending thousands at night clubs. What in the name of God should we do with you?”Jimmy burst into laughter immediately, he fell to the floor and quickly staggered up like a drunk. He made his way to the couch and sat down.“Relax Dad, I didn’t drink much, not like I could afford more than three bottles. You know what? There are so many fake people in the world, can you believe my old friends wouldn’t even let me
