Helena stared at Anne when she passed out. She spoke the words that she shouldn't have. Helena's already paled face was accompanied with a knot in her stomach. However, there was so much noise amongst the policemen and the crowd that the faint words died down in its sound. Helena looked at the judge whose brows were drawn together as he watched Anne fainting. He was wondering whether he listened to Anne correctly or not. Helena killed Luke Wyatt.

Hans Müller's cold stare was nothing new to David. He knew the man very well—a hawk by nature, very greedy but very hard worker. He wanted what his due was. He liked Rose a lot because she used to reward him frequently for his overtime and for whatever 'gifts' were supposed to be given to the people who mattered in the high offices. When Rose was transferred and Anne came in, Hans Müller was shunted. Anne didn't recognize his work much and expected that he worked like a slave. In the end when he…

"Mother!" Anne screamed. She rushed to her side to help her. The lawyers of the team also hurried to help Lily. People on the back rose to their feet to see the drama that was unfolding in front of them. "Mother!" Anne shouted once more. "We need to take her to emergency," she said to Hertz with urgency in her eyes. "I want to take her to the hospital. You should ask the judge to stall the proceedings for now." Her plan was to get out of the courtroom along with her mother, gather sympathy from the…

Coombes was furious. He glowered at Hertz. "This is my last warning to you. If your client speaks once, you are not coming here again!" "I am sorry Your Honor," winced Hertz. Then he looked at Helena and said, "Please Helena, you need to calm down." "Then you should stop David from speaking any further," hissed Helena. As soon as Geoffrey goaded David, he said, "Helena seduced my wife to her bed." The whole court fell silent. Judge Coombes thought he would flip from the chair. "W— what?" he…

The crowd wasn't stopping. This was one of the sauciest trials. And David McDow's cheating on his wife was soon becoming a hot topic. The social media was abuzz within seconds. "He cheated on his wife!" "Because of him Anne's life suffered so much." "He should be given maximum imprisonment." "Yes, he cheated on investors too." Anne was having fun on the inside. If the trial got pulled to that side, then there was a chance that she would ride the wave of sentiments of the public and use it to…

Daryn was sitting right behind Dawn. He appeared in control and of course was inviting too many stolen glances from men and women. It wasn't that everyday media got such juicy trials to report. Almost every news channel, every newspaper reporter was present there outside the courthouse. Only a few were allowed to get in the court. Other than that key witnesses were standing on the outside with their lawyers and some important government officials. There was excitement amongst all of them. They wanted to…

If they went to the court for Starfish Refineries, there were higher chances that they would get jailed and incur heavy penalty instead of going scot-free. Nothing had flummoxed and irritated Helena as much as Dawn in her new avatar. Five years back she had so easily chased her away from there and she returned back with full force. At this point of time Helena wanted to wring her neck and watch her writhe in pain. She looked at Anne who had walked to the window and was watching the scenery outside with a…

Helena was pacing Anne's office. Only a day was left and Dawn hadn't withdrawn neither the defamation case nor the one she had slapped for Starfish Refineries. She was muttering curses and innuendos under her breath. "You couldn't even convince that girl to withdraw the lawsuits? What the hell have you been doing all this time? I have left the home in order to convince her that she was safe and secure with you and yet you didn't make her feel like that? Damn it! Anne, how incapable you are?" "That's…

On the third day, Lily held the keys in front of him, confident that Cole would never be able to refuse what she was about to present him with. "Cole, this is the key to your Porsche sedan," she said with a broad smile. "This is fresh from the showroom and has all the modern accessories." She knew that this was the ultimate gift. No child could refuse such a beautiful thing. Cole stared at the keys and then looked back at Lily. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Is something wrong with you?" Lily…

Anne's body shuddered. "You mean to say that it will take a week for you to come here?" she asked, trying her best to mask her disappointment. Helena was leaving the house today in a hurry so that Dawn could come and here Dawn said she would come in a week. Helena could have stayed longer. Fury rose in her chest. "B— but your Grandmother w— wants you here as soon as possible." "Aww…" replied Dawn in a voice laced with love and tenderness. "I am feeling so guilty, but what can I do Aunt Anne? I…
