Diane Tilly Novels & Stories

Overwhelming despair instantly washed over Alessio. He kept denying the truth because he couldn't accept the fact that he had personally caused my death. He whipped his head up, staring intently at the director in front of him as he said in a trembling voice, "Impossible! It can't be! The doctor said she was just malnourished, and she'll be fine if she gets plenty of rest!" Seeing Alessio fall apart, the director said hesitantly, "I'm not sure about the details. It's possible that the doctors were in too much of a rush back then and missed her actual condition."

“The whole knowing each other thing.” The lawyer smiled and put her phone away. “Always best to show a united front, makes them think we were prepared for this scenario.” She answered and held out her hand for me to shake. “Mahlia Teagan, Robert King’s lead solicitor.” “Dalia Adler, but you knew that.” I shook her hand. “He was right to tell me that you’re smart, for a moment I was worried that you wouldn’t go along with it.” She said. “How did you know someone bought me this necklace?”

I yelled a little. "She is not responding...."

“Ready when you are.” At that moment, two police officers walked in quietly through the door with Claire and Sasha. One of them stepped forward, pulling out a paper from his file. “Officer Diane, you are under arrest for the murder of Mr. Tony Dalton and Ms. Frances Grayson. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law.” Diane’s mouth fell open. She looked from Ivy to Claire, then to the officers. “You set me up?”

I tuck the few strands of hair which has fallen off the clip behind my ears, looking around I move myself to the first row bench. I take my seat beside the lady seated next to the man, her blonde hair pulled up to a neat high bun, her skinny legs crossed the point of the heel getting contact with me. I clear my throat as I lean over to my right closer to her and whisper "Excuse me, your heel," I point at her shoe. The hazel eyes takes a glimpse of me, she purses her red velvet lips as she rolls her big eyes and moves her leg. She is Tira Liam, A lawyer who will do anything to win a case. It's tragic that a beauty like her has committed a quite number of murder yet not caught red handed.

"Shaw is threatening Claire?" "He's threatening my granddaughter. She's four years old, Bethany. Four years old." Diane was crying now. "I've fought Shaw for forty years. I've documented his crimes. I've helped you build the case. But I can't risk Claire. I can't." "Diane, no. We need you. The FBI needs your testimony."

Tears begin to flow down my face. “Mel was the sweetest person I knew, she was polite, smart, caring, and compassionate, and in reality, she was none of those things Abby. You should have heard her gloat about what she did to Mum, how she convinced us all that she was a battered woman and got away with murder. I’m glad Dean killed her. Because if he didn’t, I would have.” I say furiously. I wipe my tears angrily.

Mrs Angela asked as she stared askance at Daisy Hunter. Glaring back at Mrs Angela, Daisy's countenance changes from happiness to a mixture of concern and bewilderment. "No, I'm Wade's fiancée," Daisy said, her voice laced with trepidation. "You…my son's fiancée?…aren't you his Secretary at the office?" "Yes, I am ma." Daisy Hunter replied, her gaze intent on Mrs Angela. Staring askance at Daisy, Mrs Angela's gaze was laced with venom. "This can't be." Mrs Angela said as she flung the door shut at Daisy's face.

Derry explained to her and wiped the tears flowing her face with his thumb. "Who tried to harm Lyla?" Lily asked and sniffled. "One lady called Sheila Williams. She is no more" Derry replied studying Lily carefully hoping she remained calm and nothing happened to her health, but Lily gasped making him panic. "She was sentenced to death?" Lily asked curiously calming Derry as he realize she was still okay. "No, she took her own life but Luis did a very good job. He was able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt she was the criminal mind behind it and that she had an insider. The general of police," Derry explained "He is still in prison," he added.
