Year:January 27, 2024. Night
A red sport car zooms into a well illuminated mansion. The door opens and a pair of heels pops out and then a woman in red silhoutte and red shades came out. One of the maids quickly collected her bag with a bow.
Who could this woman be?, well this is non other than Alex Winfred, a business tycoon in sun city. A well repected lady of high class, feared by many due to her boldnesss, smartness and achievement in the business world. She has won somany awards and her name will always top the sun city business chart. Even men shiver before her.
She is the face of so many magazines, clothing brands, perfume , hair and so on. Her fashion has never been matched by any other woman even though they try.
Getting into her room, she got refreshed, dries her hair and slams on the bed staring at the ceiling and then a message pops In on her phone. It was from her friend Cler.
"Hey you home?"
"Yeah"
"Have you listen to the song"
"No, the record player looks hideous. Who still use it?"
"Hello my grandpa, i found it in his shelf, listened to it, loved it and told you to try it. Is it that hard?"
"yeah, very hard"
"Please, do this for Cynthia"
"Here you go again using your daughter's name. Okay fine i will listen to it"
"Yay thank you"
"But dont bring any other creepy thing to me again"
"Okay"
She drops her phone on the bed, picks her bag from the make up desk, brings out the player and a Casette with an inspection "old as time' and inserts it.
"Where is my earpiece?"
She searched for the earpiece and found the pink earpiece in the bedside desk. She plugs in, put the pods in her ear and clicked on the play button. The running of the cassette can be heard for a while and then a soft instrument begin to play.
"Hmm, seems relaxing" she rest on bed and within few minutes she dozed off.
*************************
(The soft music continues playing but with a glitch, it stops, Alex opens her eyes to see blurry faces qnd gradually every tbing became clear)
"Do you plead guilty or not guilty"
"where am i? What is this? (she looks at her hand and touch her face to see tears trickling down) why am crying?, real tears but how. Am dreaming. (She looks around and her eyes became clear. She was in a courtroom in the case box, dressed in an orange detainee clothe facing the judge.)
**********************
"i plead not guilty"
The people began to mumble.
"Order in the court. File case number 110265829, the murder case of Jane Andrew on this day January 27 1985. I hereby pronounce Miss Alexa Smith not guilty of the charges against her due to lack of adequate evidence, her release papers should be done as soon as possible" the judge said slamming his gavel.
Everyone began to mumble, some were cursing and some were happy.
"No no no this can't be, she killed my daughter, she must not go Scott free" Mrs Andrew yelled running towards the box.
"You such a witch Alexa, a witch. I knew you would bewitch the judge. You never cease to surprise me you slut" she tries to move closer to Alexa but was prevented by the police.
"Don't you dare come near my daughter" Mrs Smith said defending her daughter.
"Oh wow such a nice family party, keep defending a murderer of a daughter i will make sure you pay. Pfft birds of the same feather" Mrs Andrew said angrily.
"Well well well" the man in his 60's earlier came clapping. "Seems you won this time. I will make i take this to the court of appeal. My daughter deserves justice. Let's go honey before they use this against us. This low lives are so full of tricks"
(So They are the parents of Jane? Who is Jane, i don't even know her. I didn't murder anyone)
The two left and their attorney came by
"Wow you won again. Congratulations" the attorney stretched his hand but the hand shake was denied of him
He sighs "you won again Jason, am proud of you son. You really took after me. Why don't you come around and celebrate with us at home" the attorney said.
Jason shot him a deadly glare.
"I do not need your congratulatory words Mr Loren" Jason said frowning.
"Oh wow, Mr Loren? Well business is business we will see later chap and you too" he looks at Alexa and then leaves.
(So he is his father? What is happening. I do not understand this. Is this a family war?)
"Sorry about that Alexa i will go sign the necessary documents for your bail. Please officers handle her gently"Jason said to the officers as he leaves them.
