Andrew’s eyes peeled open. Someone was knocking at his car window. That someone had woken him from a quick nap he’d taken just a moment after he pulled into the massive car park foreshadowing the big shopping complex where he’d been informed Laura, a former maid of his ex-in-laws, now worked after resigning from the Nelsons’ barely a month ago. Andrew wiped his face and turned to the window. The person who had just woken him was a security guard in uniform. Andrew wound down the car window just enough to enable him to hear what the security guard had to say and also to enable the security guard to see and hear him. “Good day, sir,” the security guard said, peering into the car through the gap. “Are you alright?” Andrew gave him a curt nod. “Do you need something?” the security guard asked. Andrew moved his head as though he were giving the question some thought, then shook his head dismissively. The security guard peered one more time, nodded quietly, and walked away. He must

Andrew heaved a sigh in his car as he watched the police vans take off with Mr. and Mrs. Nelson being whisked to the police station for manslaughter and other crimes tied to their offence. Next to him sat a police detective who had followed him from the station after the maid’s confession and every other piece of evidence Andrew had tabled at the police desk.The detective was firmly in his late thirties. Dressed in a white shirt tucked into grey trousers, one wouldn’t have to look twice to tell he was from the police because he wore his badge over his chest like a medal.They waited in silence until the vans pulled out, then spent another long stretch of silence watching a maid come out of the house with her luggage, heading for the road. Andrew hadn’t seen the maid before, so, without being told, he knew she was newly employed, perhaps as a replacement for the previous maid, who was already in police custody, getting ready to testify against her boss in court when the time came.“Th

“Good morning, Andrew,” Alex muttered as he closed in.Andrew stood up and shook hands with him. “I knew you would turn up before nine o’clock.”Alex scoffed. “That’s the spirit, man.”They took their seats, and the waiter entered almost immediately with Andrew’s order. She served it on the table and gestured at Alex. “Sir…”“Get me the same thing you served him,” Alex said dismissively.The waitress nodded and left without saying a word.“So, what do you have for me?” Andrew asked, waiting eagerly to hear the good news he had been yearning for.Alex swallowed and placed his briefcase on the desk. “First of all, I’d like to inform you that the Nelsons’ lawyer secured their bail just a few hours after they were taken into custody. His words were that the ex-maid’s testimony wasn’t valid enough to keep his clients in police custody. He asked us to come with something stronger next time. That dude is quite arrogant, but…”Alex opened the briefcase and took a file out of it. He dropped th

Tina and Nina were home alone.This was the first time in a very long time that they had been left alone at home because everybody had been arrested, and they were making calls frantically, looking for a way to get their parents out of jail."Please, sir, look into this. My parents cannot just be arrested without much evidence. They did nothing," Tina pleaded with the lawyer who was speaking with her on the phone."Miss Tina, evidence was brought against your family, and your parents have a weakness that they ordered someone to do something evil, so I cannot get them out of jail now," the lawyer informed her.Tina bit her lower lip.She did not understand how bad things were happening to them one after the other because, right now, she did not know what to do. Her father was the main person running the company, and she and her sister had to go to the company to tell the shareholders and everybody that what happened was a misunderstanding. Instead, they were just bombarded with questio

Though the police had strong evidence that the Nelsons could barely deny, their legal counsel managed to put up a good fight, leaving the court with no other choice but to adjourn the case. However, Andrew had already granted the press an interview, briefing them on what had happened to his wife and what the investigations had uncovered.The police spokesperson also did well to grant a press interview, stating that the evidence gathered by the police investigations department was glaring. No one could deny the fact that the Nelsons had murdered their daughter and offered her heart to the doctors for Paul’s urgent heart transplant.Though the Nelsons’ legal counsel did well to deny the allegations levelled by the police and Andrew, the news spread far and wide within a matter of hours. Andrew knew how fast news travelled, but he hadn’t expected the allegations levelled against the Nelsons to spread so quickly.They were supposed to have a top-notch damage control agency helping them wi
