Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Eight: I WON
The day everyone was waiting for had arrived. How they had gotten there? Confirmation of the bodies and secrets hidden away by Estelle in her past. The court case between the Moores and the Wei’s. The courtroom was packed with reporters, spectators, and lawyers. Everyone who was interested in this case either showed up at the courtroom, camped outside or even watched it closely on their televisions as it was being broadcast live, just to know the details of the case and hear the final verdict. It was the case of the century as two rich and powerful families went for each other's neck in a court case involving murder and love? No one knew the details for sure but with the news of the case involving the two families coming out, it was all anyone could talk about. Estelle Moore sat in the defendant's seat, wearing a navy-blue suit she was granted to have and a fake smile. She looked calm and confident, as if she had nothing to worry about but underneath her cool exterior, she was terri
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Seven: CONFESS OR ROT
The car ride back to the precinct was one of quiet and self-fulfillment for some but for those who were stuck with Estelle Moore in the back of their vehicle, the ride was akin to being thrown into the pit of darkness with a banshee as she would not stop screaming and whining all the way to where she was going to be detained and possibly booked. She lashed out at anyone remotely close to her in the vehicle making the men think that throwing her into the river handcuffed would be a better idea than taking her all the way to the precinct. Regardless of their thoughts, the cars pulled up to the front of the building and like Marcus expected, there were a lot of officers standing outside the precinct wanting to see whether the rumors were true. Wanting to see whether a Moore was truly arrested. The doors opened with a stunned but now docile Estelle glaring at the masses as she was being taken inside the building. Marcus followed close behind but not so much that Estelle could see him a
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Six: ARRESTED
Marcus couldn’t utter a word as his hands were raised to the sky and he was being pushed along with a gun to the back of his head. He frowned as Estelle’s shocked and confused face came into view and the man with the haggard voice he caught on his phone glared at him. “Look what I found.” The man behind him jested as they came to a stop in front of the group. “The hell.” One of the hooligans murmured. Obviously, they would recognize him. His face and fame were world-famous at this point. “Marcus, what are you doing here?” Estelle asked, the look of horror and pure confusion written on her face. “Estelle, I...” Marcus started but was cut off by the main man of the group. “You brought a Wei here with you. You must have a death wish lady.” “Let me speak to him first Raul.” Estelle insisted, her face growing ever more suspicious as time went by. “What are you doing here Marcus? How did you find me?” She asked once more, but this time a bit peeved at his sudden appearance. “When y
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Five: FLY ON THE WALL
It had been a few days before Marcus had gotten consecutive calls on his phone that Callum brought back to him, from both Estelle and Gregory but each on different topics.Gregory's call had a lopsided effect on Marcus as he had sounded different over the phone, no doubt because of what he had found out while Estelle's call was more in a happy tone, wanting him to come over and escort her for a deal she was about to make.Marcus of course began to turn her invite down but subtly.“I would have loved to come, Estelle but I have other businesses to attend to and I can't keep them on hold.”“It's fine Marcus. I should have called earlier.”“How is your health now? Any ghosts like before?” He asked over the phone, needing a bit more insight as he could not reach her for some time.“No ghosts whatsoever. I feel brand new. Seems like our talk really helped.” Estelle said with a chuckle.“I'm glad. Well, I'll call you later. I have to go now.”“Sure. Bye Marcus.” Estelle said as Marcus ended
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Four: REVEALING LIES
"Let me see it.” Coleman demanded. Marcus handed his phone over to the man without hesitation. It took Coleman going through just two minutes of the recording before his eyes lit up like a child on Christmas morning but still with some doubt in his mind. “How did you get it?” Eric asked simply, astonished but cautiously. “Like I told Callum, Estelle told me herself. She confessed and I just recorded all that she said.” “She just called you and told you she killed someone?” Coleman asked, siding with Callum. “Not a person. People.” Marcus insisted as he rolled his eyes. “She’s killed five people and in that recording we have the ways of death, the times and where the bodies were buried and or hidden from the public eye. We have her.” “You know this won’t be enough, right?” The chief said, a bit crestfallen. Marcus frowned but he understood what the man was trying to say. Estelle was one of the richest women in the world and that was only by association to her husband. If she wa
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Three: PROOF
Marcus was in shock at all that Estelle had divulged to him at first but at this point his senses were numb to the fact that she was trying to garner his sympathy when deep down she knew she was in the wrong. His mind was more in the place of blind but controlled rage for how he didn’t know all this about her. Yes, he had had his people look into her, Lori too but somehow they didn’t find anything and that was even more disturbing. Could it be because of all the money she had acquired or was she just good enough to hide all her tracks at such a young age? Either way, she had opened up to him and even as she held on to his hand and bawled her eyes out before him. Marcus could feel nothing but disgust and hatred towards the woman. “I didn’t know how to cope then so I just fought for what was mine.” Estelle blurted out. “Do you regret any of it? Any of the killings?” Marcus questioned her, wanting to know if truly she was the monster he perceived her to be or if she needed saving by
