Writer’s POV

A day to the preliminary hearing ~~~

“Can you explain what I just did?” Madelyn asked, looking at the computer screen. She’ve been teaching Wealth the basics of finance for a while now,while hoping for the best.

“Yes, I can explain,But I think there’s a more efficient way to do it.” Wealth replied while studying the spreadsheet, his brow furrowed in concentration.

“Oh, What method are you talking about?” Madelyn asked, intrigued.

He smirked and proceeded to explain the whole process, every step of the way.

“Wow, that’s brilliant!. I never would have thought of that. I guess I’m the student here”Madelyn exclaimed, her eyes wide and they both laughed at her admission.

“I was always the best at math in high school.”he said with a wink and she rolled her eyes

“You’re such a show-off!” she said,but couldn’t hide her smile.

“That’s enough work for today, Mr. CEO,” she teased, grinning at him andHe laughed and shook his head.

“I’m not even close to being the CEO yet, so don’t call me that!”he said

She closed the laptop and put it aside, then leaned in and wrapped her arms around him. She sat on his lap, her legs around his waist, and looked him in the eyes.

“Everything’s going to be okay,” she said, her voice full of conviction.

“I hope so, too,” he said, a hint of doubt in his voice.She kissed him, a quick but meaningful gesture.

“I love you,” he said, looking into her eyes.

“I love you, too,” she whispered, holding him
close. They stayed like that for a long moment, savoring the comfort of each other’s presence.

“Your mom will be here soon,” she said, a hint of nervousness in her voice.

“Mmm,” he replied, a faraway look in his eyes.

“Wealth?” she called, trying to get his attention.

“What?” he asked, snapping out of his reverie.

“Wealth?” she repeated, a mischievous smile on her face.

“Oh, really Madelyn?” he said, finally catching on to her joke. They laughed together, enjoying the lighthearted moment.

“My love,” she finally said, her words accompanied by a shower of kisses. He couldn’t help but smile and he stood up, her legs tightly wrapping around his waist and her arms around his neck.

“Where are we going?” she asked as he carried her out of the room.

“I’m going to make you something,” he replied.

“You heard my stomach growl?” she joked.

“ of course “ he replied

“I’m not really hungry though,” she started to say, when she was interrupted by the insistent growling of her stomach. They both laughed as he carried her down the stairs.

Madelyn had moved to Seoul recently, and she and Wealth were staying in her new house. Aurora, had gone back to Yeosu, but she would be returning today for the case. It was a stressful time, but they were doing their best to stay positive and look on the bright side.

Sydney walked into the house, a smile on her face.

“Madelyn,” she began, but her words trailed off as she took in the scene before her.
Madelyn blushed, embarrassed to be caught in that position.

“You can’t just come barging in like that just because you know my passcode” she said, trying to sound stern.

“Oh, please! You’re the one acting like a kid. Besides, how was I supposed to know you’d be all cuddled up with your man?”Sydney replied and rolled her eyes jokingly.

“ shut up” Madelyn snapped and they laughed.

“Where’s Mima?” Delyn asked, peering towards the door. Mima appeared in the doorway, looking a bit sheepish.

“Were you standing outside the whole time?” Delyn asked.

“No, no,” Mima replied. “I was just doing something.” She breezed past Sydney,taking a seat

Delyn noticed the tension between the two. “Did something happen between you two?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.

“It’s Sydney’s fault!” Mima said.
“It’s Mima’s fault!” Sydney snapped back.

“You two sound like children. Just stop” Delyn said, rolling her eyes as she got down from wealth’s hold.

“Fine,” they muttered, looking away from each other.

“Omg, I have to tell you something!” Sydney raced over to her, her eyes wide with excitement.

“What is it?” Madelyn asked, a bit alarmed by her sudden outburst,But before Sydney could say anything, Jemima rushed towards them.

“Stop!” she yelled, her eyes blazing. “Don’t you dare say anything!”

Sydney and Madelyn took off running, while she hot on their heels. The three of them raced around the spacious living room, their laughter echoing through the house.

“ tell me!!” Delyn said in between their laughters

“Mima is finally…” Sydney started, only to be cut off by Jemima.

“Stop! I want to tell her myself,” Jemima insisted.

“She’s in a relationship,” Sydney blurted out, unable to contain her excitement.

“What? With who?” Madelyn asked, her eyes wide with curiosity and Jemima looked at her sheepishly.

“I was meaning to tell you…” she trailed off.

“Come on, is he cute? He got cash ? show me his picture!” Madelyn urged her, unable to contain her impatience.

Wealth found the whole thing quite entertaining, but he couldn’t help but shake his head at their antics. He headed into the kitchen to make something as said earlier.

><><>< As soon as Wealth had set the table, Aurora entered the house, carrying a few things in her hands. He hurried over to help her, taking some of the items from her. "Thanks," she said, a smile on her face. "How are you doing?" Aurora asked, her smile warm and genuine. "I'm doing well," he said, returning her smile. "I just finished setting the table, you can join us" he added, pointing to the dining room with a wink. Just then, they heard footsteps on the stairs, and Madelyn appeared with her besties. She ran over to Aurora and gave her a big hug. "How are you?" Aurora asked, hugging her back. “ I’m fine” she replied with a smile. Sydney and Mima greeted her as well before they all walk to the dining table while wealth went to keep the things in the kitchen “ mom did you really had to get more groceries? I told you,we have so much” he said as he walked out “ hmm…..I wanted to, okay. I want to feed you so much like I’ve been doing over the years” Aurora replied and he smile “ thanks ma’am Aurora” Madelyn said with a smile They all sat down at the table, chatting and laughing as they ate. Sydney was in her usual chatty mode, and her stories kept everyone entertained. "Hey, I have a new joke," she said, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "What do you call a cow with no legs?" "Uh oh, I have a feeling this is going to be bad."" Mima said, rolling her eyes. "Come on, just guess!" Sydney said, prodding them for an answer. “ just say the answer” Madelyn said "Ground beef!" Sydney said, bursting into laughter. “ Such a dry joke” Mima muttered "Okay, okay, I'll stop now." Sydney said,But a new joke was already forming in her mind. A few minutes later,She let out another. "What did the ocean say to the beach?" she asked, a twinkle in her eye. "I don't know," Madelyn said, feigning impatience. "Just tell us already!" "The ocean said, 'Nothing, it just waved,'" Sydney said, laughing at her own joke. They all groaned again, but their smiles betrayed their enjoyment of the silly pun. "You are incorrigible," Mima said, shaking her head. ><><><><>< Wealth tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. His mind racing, filled with anxious thoughts and worries. Madelyn noticed his restlessness and opened her eyes. "Are you having trouble sleeping?"she asked "Yeah, I can't seem to." he muttered, staring up at the ceiling. "I know you're feeling anxious, but everything is going to be okay. get some rest."She gently stroked his hair, hoping to soothe him. "I hope so," he said after some minutes,his voice barely audible. He turned to face her, his eyes fixed on her lips. "What?" she asked, trying to keep a straight face. "I need you to help me sleep," he said, his voice low and husky. "How can I help, Mr. CEO?" she asked, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. He moved closer, his gaze intense. "You know what I mean," he whispered, his breath warm against her skin. "We did it few days ago," she pointed out, trying not to laugh at his obvious disappointment. "That was few days ago," he said, his voice full of longing. "Let's just get some sleep," she suggested, though she could tell he wasn't convinced. "Okay, fine, I'll respect your wishes." he said, sounding resigned. He turned away from her, settling down on his side of the bed. "Are you really agreeing to just go to sleep?" she asked, not quite believing him. "Of course,I would never force you to..." His words were cut off as she pounced on him, pinning him to the bed. "I was just teasing you!" she exclaimed, giggling, But he was not to be outdone. With a sudden twist, he had her beneath him, looking down at her with a mixture of amusement and desire. “ I want you so badly” he said their lips inches apart. “ I’m all yours sir” she let out,her lips patiently waiting to savored by his. "Here we go" he said and with that,took her lips in hungrily,smooching their bodies against each other. ><><><><>< The courtroom was hushed, the air heavy with tension. The jury sat motionless in their seats, their eyes fixed on the accused. The families of the victim and the defendant sat in the gallery, their hearts racing with anticipation. The judge entered the room, and the court clerk called the case. The trial was about to begin. the judge settled into his seat and the attorneys rose to give their opening statements. The prosecutor stood tall and looked at the jury with a serious expression. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury," he began, "today you will hear evidence that will convince you beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendants are guilty of the crime they are accused of." He then went on to describe the evidence that would be presented. The defense attorney followed, standing with a determined look on his face. "The evidence that the prosecution will present is not as conclusive as they would have you believe," he said. "Your honor, as you are aware, this case has been pending for 22 years," the prosecutor began. "There was not enough evidence to convict the defendant at the time, but we have since uncovered new evidence that we believe will prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt." The judge nodded, taking in the prosecutor's words. He turned to the defense attorney and asked, "Do you have any objections to the new evidence?" The defense attorney rose to his feet and said, "Your honor, I do have objections to the new evidence. It is not reliable, and it was not properly collected or preserved. It’s said that a victim put down these evidence which are not even true" “ if the evidences are not true ? Why then did your defendants att@cked him and his family and took over his wealth?” The prosecutor asked "Your honor, even if the defendants did att@ck the victim and his family, that does not mean that he k!lled them," the defense attorney countered. "We have to consider the possibility that someone else may have been responsible for the crime. We cannot convict a man based on speculation." "But we have evidence that links the defendant to the cr!me scene," the prosecutor argued. "It was well written down by the victim about your defendants coming after his family, because he witnessed the k!ll!ng of Mr Will" "But the evidence is circumstantial, and the motive is not sufficient to convict someone of m*rder," the defense attorney replied. Wealth and Delyn exchanged glances as the attorney and prosecutor argued back and forth, each one trying to prove their case. Wealth could feel the tension in the air as the debate continued. After what seemed like an eternity, the judge finally made a pronouncement. "The court has heard all of the evidence. This case will now proceed to trial," he said, banging his gavel on the table, which was followed by the announcement of the trail date Mr. Connor watched as Cameron and Noah were led away by the police, a look of pity on his face. Dylan's case had not yet been opened, as it involved dr*gs and other illeg@l activities. The group exchanged hugs, their hearts full of hope, before proceeding to leave the courtroom. • • • • TBC
