October 15th, 2013. Courtroom.
As Adelyn started to get hopeless, thinking that –for the first time—she was going to lose a case, she remembered Mrs. Griffin, her client, assuring her that she didn't see Braham Rodd when the murder occurred.
'Brilliant!' she thought.
"But Mr. Rodd, Mrs. Griffin confirmed that she did see you, killing her beloved husband and stabbing him to death," Adelyn lied, staring at Braham, her eyes not leaving his, searching for any sign of nervousness while praying nobody saw Mrs. Griffin's confused face.
"She wasn't even in the house!" Braham said inanely, before widening his eyes realizing that he should have kept his mouth shut.
'BINGO', Adelyn thought.
"Apparently your honor, Mr. Rodd knew the time Mrs. Griffin left the house. Of course, to make sure no one sees him while stabbing his business partner. Nice plan," she directed her deadly gaze to Braham, "But not good enough." She finished.
"Braham Llanos Rodd, I find you guilty of murdering Caleb Jonathon Hardy, you are to be sentenced for Twelve years, case closed." The judge said and used her gavel before standing up to leave.
The court reporter made her way towards Adelyn,
"You are one hell of a lawyer," the court reporter remarked while smiling sneakily at Adelyn.

The Night Everything Changed
"Nate where the fuck have you been? It is three a.m. I have left you hundreds of messages." "Get the fuck out of my house." He said through his teeth. "Why what is wrong? What happened?" She asked as she smelled the whiskey in his breath. "You are a fucking whore. You are having an affair with my brother. How could you?" Things took an ugly tun when things turn physical. Nate suddenly grabbed her by her throat and pulled her to the table. "Shut up and sign." Her hands trembled as she signed the divorced papers. "There I signed the papers." She said as she began crying again. "I don't know why or what happened for you to do this but I love you." "Shut up!" He screamed at her before pushing her. He pushed too hard and she went through the glass side door. ***** "Let's cut to the chase, shall we? Last night about quarter past nine there was car accident but an eye witness told us exactly what happened and it looks like attempted murder." "What has this got to do with me or Ana? Wait you don't think I am hiding that bitch, are you?" "Mr. Davison please keep that big mouth of yours close or so help me I will arrest you for insulating a police officer. No, I don't think you are hiding That Bitch as you put it because it was Ana who was in the accident and I think you ordered the hit on Ana for revenge." "Why the hell would I do that to her?" "...because you found out that she hid your child from you."
