Chapter 197

Leila paces back and forth outside the courthouse, worry etched in her face, anxiety staunch in her heart.

"Any news?" She hurries toward the man with a phone to his ear walking towards her, the second defence counsel on her mother's case, Bass Grant.

"No one can reach him," Bass replies, putting his hands akimbo. "And you say you haven't seen him in days?"

Leila nods and looks away, staring into the distance with a grim look.

Today is the most important day of the case so far, the day they get to put her mother in the stands and prove her innocence.

Ever since the day Amara shifted, Kelvin had not shown up to the house nor did he call. She thought it odd at first but she assumed he was preparing for the big day and so she did not bother to check in but now no one can reach him.

Bass glances at his watch and grunts. "C'mon, we gotta be seated before the judge comes in, maybe he's running late and don't worry, I've studied the files in depth too, I can handle it."
