When Pastor Ganvis entered the room, he stared at the gentleman sitting at the table. He had on a dark blue suit, matching his tie and shirt. His hair was dirty brown with highlights, reddish skin color, and a pair of reading glasses dangled off the tip of his squared nose.  

He stood up and extended his hand. "Good morning, Thaddeus Ganvis. My name is Ricdonald Longley, and I'm your court-appointed lawyer. Please have a seat. I've looked over your case, and it's a cut and dry case." He flipped one page of the document. "It seems that your prints were found on the body and ..." He paused at a paragraph on the document, glanced up, and placed a recorder down on the table. "Your plea is guilty, right? Of course, it is. If you'd lean forward and speak directly into the recorder on the table, I'll be on my merry way. I'll make it easy and tell you exactly what you need to say." 

Pastor Ganvis slid the recorder away from him. "I never said I was guilty. Who told you that I'd plead guilty? I haven't committed any crime. I thought you were supposed to be here representing me?"

"I am representing you." He read a few paragraphs on the documents. "It says your prints were found on the body. That sounds guilty to me." He closed the folder and touched his chest. "I'm not here to judge. Whatever you did with..." He took a quick scan at the document. "Tina Crenshaw is your business. Maybe she forced you to commit murder. I don't know and I'm not here to determine why you killed her." 

"I'm innocent! My wife can vouch for my whereabouts. I was at home in bed when the police pounded on my door." Ricdonald sat back and crossed his arms. "That doesn't mean that you didn't kill her. You could've killed her earlier that day."

©2024 COPYRIGHTS. ❝It's you i want not your virginity, literacy or marriage count.❞ Nabeel became her shadow, her protector in a world that had abandoned her. He fought for her, bled for her, and, in the end, claimed her as his own. In his arms, she found not just love, but a savage devotion-something she never imagined she would experience in this lifetime. And as their worlds collided in passionate, dangerous harmony, Umaimah learned that love, when it finds you, doesn't come with the gentle caress of a fairy tale; it comes with the weight of a storm. Umaimah, a village girl with a heart heavy with desperation, was shackled by the cruelty of her adoptive parents, who treated her more as a servant than family. Her dreams, whispered in the dead of night, were filled with visions of escape-escape from the suffocating village that never saw her worth. Her first and only hope of salvation lay in marriage, but even that fate seemed to mock her. Three engagements had been broken, each leaving her more jaded, and now, at the ripe old age of "marriageable despair," she found herself cast aside, an unwed relic in a world that valued only brides. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. She was sent to the city as a maid-a meager consolation, but one that allowed her to slip away from her tormentors, to vanish into the sprawling anonymity of the urban jungle. She didn't just wish to escape; she needed to find her real parents, the bloodline that might redeem her.

Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in pastabuse #1 in running on 2/2/25 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in abusing #2 in nightterror #2 in brokenfamily #4 in olderbrother #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #34 in siblingrivalry #34 in littlesister #44 in ptsd #40 in misunderstood #59 in mafia
