**Third person**The cold, grey walls of the jail seemed to close in around Adam as he was led through the booking process. The fluorescent lights overhead cast an unforgiving glare, making every line and crease on his face stand out.After protesting relentlessly throughout the drive, he was finally silent until they passed an open office and his eyes caught a glimpse of the television.He stopped abruptly. “Wait.” Then he looked at the two officers who were behind him. “What's that?!” Adam demanded.They glanced at the TV too, but they didn't respond. Adam stared at the screen again, his features etched with surprise. He had only been arrested just now. "Businessman Adam Smith Arrested for Murder of Wife," read the headlines.Adam felt his head spin. This wasn't good for business; their stock prices will drop. Their market value will drop too. And all for what? They didn't even have tangible evidence on him.“Fuck it!” He growled, his voice dripping with venom. “Even getting you fir

**Third person**Karen sat on the couch, her eyes fixed on the door absentmindedly. She took a deep breath, her mind racing with the events of the past few days. That lowlife bastard! She cussed, her fists clenching. How dare he?! Did he really think that she'll go down without a fight?"Hello?" She called out, and a few moments later, the door opened. Elliot entered.“Do you know anything about what's going on with Adam?” She asked him.A muscle in Elliot's jaw ticked and he pondered upon the reply to give. “Your husband was arrested today for your murder after the evidence was submitted,” he answered casually.Karen smirked wickedly and then stood up from the bed. She began pacing the length of the room. “That was quite fast,” she murmured.Elliot didn't say anything.Karen paused in her track and glanced at the man who was still standing by the door with his hands behind his back. "I need to make a call,” she blurted out."I don't think that's a good idea,” Elliot replied in a mon

**Third person**“How authentic is this video?” The judge asked.The prosecutor stepped forward. “The anonymous source who provided the footage has sworn an affidavit attesting to its authenticity.”James Parker chuckled dryly. "Your honor, the authenticity of the video cannot be verified because the source is anonymous,” he chipped in. “We need concrete evidence, not hearsay from a mysterious source.”“I understand the defense’s concerns.” The judge nodded slightly and turned to Rachel Lee. “Prosecutor, can you provide additional evidence to corroborate the video?”“Unfortunately, no, your honor,” she replied. “But the video’s authenticity has been verified through expert analysis and corroborating eyewitness testimony. It shows the defendant’s actions clearly, and we believe it's sufficient enough to prove his guilt.”“With all due respect,” James started again, sparing Rachel a quick glance before he looked at the judge. “The video is not sufficient. We request that the court consi

**Third person**They both cleaned up and Lucas started the car again, their destination was his house.In his mansion, he already had a rare massage oil brought. Lucas lifted the bottle and examined it. Then he looked at Valerie. “When will you have your massage, milady? Before or after you shower?”She cocked an eyebrow and tilted her head. "Aww, you always have the best remedy for making me feel better,” she gushed.A proud look etched on Lucas's face at her compliment. Then he cracked his fingers and she stared at her hungrily. "That's what boyfriends are for."Valerie eyed him suspiciously and giggled. “Why do you look like you have ulterior motives?”“Please don't take my good intentions for granted.” He huffed, pretending to be offended. “I don't like it when my pure intentions are mistaken for something else,” he grumbled.Valerie studied his face, the fake scowl he had on made him look even more cute. “Sorry for doubting you then,” she apologized, her grin widening as she hu

**Third person**“Ask for anything, Mr. Smith; I'll gladly help,” she urged him.“If I'm going to spend my life here, I want to live it to the fullest.” He began, his pleading eyes staring at her. “Can you do that for me?”Her brows furrowed in confusion. “I don't quite follow.”“Valerie, you're Lucas's girlfriend. He has the resources and influence to make my stay here quite enjoyable.” He paused, his jaw tightening. “I know the Harrisons would try to have me killed after I rat them out; I'll need security to ensure my safety too.”Val pressed her lips together, suppressing her urge to laugh. “I’d love to help and I'll want that for you too,” she confessed. “But you know my boyfriend is a businessman; if he helps you, what's in it for him?”Adam stared at her, slightly taken aback. Surely he didn't think that Lucas would grant him that type of favor for free.He remained silent for quite some time, lost in thoughts and Valerie feared that she might have pushed her luck too far.
