All Chapters of His Child's Blood on Their Family's Floor: Chapter 11 - Chapter 18

The moment those questions landed, a deathly silence filled the room.Hannah seemed to have turned to stone. She looked at Cameron. "What do you mean?"Cameron said nothing, and only turned to address the man who'd been hovering at the door for some time. "Mr. Langley, do come in."A pale man who bore some resemblance to Tyler entered the room on cue. He stopped before Tyler, and his eyes were full of disappointment. "How could you do something like this? You're my younger brother. How could you use Lena's death to fulfill your greed?"Tyler, or whoever he was, had already turned white as a sheet. He backed away frantically, then fell hard on the ground.Hannah felt as if her head had imploded, leaving an intense roaring in its wake. The next second, she shot to her feet and approached the man. Her eyes were bloodshot. "What do you mean by that? What is your relationship with Tyler?"The man turned to face Hannah. His lips twitched. "I know you, Ms. Garber. When you met with a ca

Hannah's face darkened. "You know where he is?"Trevor seized the breakthrough and nodded firmly. His survival instincts were peaking. "Yes. I'll tell you where he is if you spare me."Hannah stared at him and didn't respond.Believing she might deny his request, Trevor added for good measure, "I also saw him with another woman. Don't you want to know who—""What did you say?" Hannah grabbed Trevor's arm, cutting him off. She scowled. "You saw him with another woman?"Trevor frowned at her painful, vise-like grip, but answered anyway, "Yes, I saw him leaving with another woman that day. You know her, too."Hannah's heart tightened until it ached, and an uneasiness washed over her. "Tell me who she is. Where did Samuel go?"She was clenching her fingers unconsciously. Trevor dared not cry out in pain. "I'll tell you if you promise to let me go after this."Hannah suddenly barked a laugh. She clutched Trevor's jaw and stared at him menacingly. "What makes you think you have the r

The audience turned toward the doors.Diana strode in with a thumb drive in hand, and her smile was nonchalant. "David Hargreeves, is it, Your Honor? You wouldn't mind waiting for a bit while I hand this evidence to the plaintiff's attorney, would you?"David, the judge, glanced at the defense counsel. When the team nodded, he asked Diana, "What is your relationship with the plaintiff?"Diana glanced at Samuel and flashed him a gentle smile. "I'm his girlfriend."Hannah's eyes widened at the revelation. If Katherine hadn't pinned her to her seat, she would have shot to her feet.Samuel nodded. "That's right. Diana and I are seeing each other romantically."David nodded and allowed Diana to tender the evidence. She handed Anthony the thumb drive, and he plugged it in. He opened the folder within, which contained a video clip. He clicked play while the audience watched.The footage was from last night, and it showed Katherine arriving at David's house with two briefcases full of c

It was Samuel's second year living in a refugee camp in South Endovia. He was already used to life here.That day, he'd been on his way back to the hut he called home after visiting the refugee camp when a torrential downpour hit him without warning. He hadn't brought an umbrella, and while running the rest of the way back to his tent, he slipped and fell.He'd skinned his knee and bled, but he had no choice other than to scramble to his feet and continue running.Upon returning to the tent, he was about to clean his wound when Diana called him. "Hey, Samuel. Hannah's execution is due soon. Are you coming home?"Samuel pursed his lips. He was about to say no when a knock came at the door. He straightened and limped to the door, but no one was there. A parcel lay on the ground, containing iodine solution, cotton swabs, and ointment.He found it strange how a knock would come at the door whenever he needed something, be it a meal after a long day, medical supplies for his injuries,
