Frank's POV
.
I watched as Fred my secretary came closer with a man beside him and I wondered what's happening.
' what's he doing here?'
' he should be at the company at this moment'
' what's this evidence he's talking about?'
Those were the thought running through my mind as he come closer.
" What's this?" The judge said.
" Forgive me My Lord, there's one more witness" Fred said.
" And who are you?" The judge asked.
" My name is Fred Williams, secretary to Mr Nelson" Fred said.
" Alright. proceed" the judge said then Fred went to my lawyer and whisper to his ear then gave him something afterwards.
I'm still confused as to what's going on and I watch a big grin found its way to my lawyer's cheek and I wondered what he told him.
" My Lord, an evidence just came and it's enough to strong enough to vindicate my client" my lawyer said raising a USB drive.
" How did you get it?" The judge asked.
" There's a hotel two buildings opposite the deceased house and one of it's camera was facing the street" my lawyer said.
" Let's see it" the judge said then the Barr gave it to the clerk to play it.
We all looked at the screen as the camera facing the house shows the decease entering his house.
The camera only cover the entrance of the house and not long after a man got to the entrance of the house and knocked.
The deceased came out and they exchange conversation which we can't hear then they both entered the house.
Some minutes later the man came out and left but his face isn't clear enough to ID the who it is.
Just immediately the man left it shows my car parking right in front of the apartment and from then till the police came.
" My Lord, as we've all see that my client is not the murderer here, if we can find the first man that entered then we have our killer" my lawyer said then barr. Raymond stood up.
" My Lord, this recording means nothing it just clarify that Mr Nelson did killed Mr David Edwards"
" The recording didn't show us if the first man killed him or not and besides no other fingerprint is found except that of Mr Nelson" Barr Raymond said.
" My Lord, What this video shows us is an example of being in a place at the wrong day and time. it's just a coincidence"
" Looking at the video the man left the place in a hurry which means he doesn't want to get caught"
" My Lord I don't think we need anymore proof to show that my client is innocent" my lawyer said then sat down.
" Are there any other evidence to back this up?" The judge asked and no one responded.
" If none then I'll urge the police department to carry out more investigation on the case, the man in the video must be found before we can proceed with the case"
" And I'll request for immediate release of Mr Nelson and given back all his belongings" the judge said and I sighed.
" Mr Nelson, you're not allowed to leave the country until the investigation is complete " the judge said.
" Yes my Lord" I replied.
" The court is adjourned till further notice. I rise"
" COURT"

Bella took her car and drove to the station to pick him up but Frank refused to ride with her and she looked for a way to make it up to him.

Frank refused to ride with his wife so had his secretary bring his car and he drove him home.
" I really don't know how to thank you Fred, I'm really grateful for this" Frank said.
" You need not to do that sir, you're really a great person and you take me as a friend not as your secretary" Fred replied.
" I know and believe that you're not capable of Killing anyone so I tried every possible way to help" Fred said.
" Thank you Fred. I really appreciate" Frank said.
" You're welcome Sir" he replied.
" Where's the file I asked you to get for me?" Frank asked then Fred handed it to him.
" Sir, are you sure you want to do this?" Fred asked as he drive.
" I want to do this besides it's the right to thing to do" Frank replied.
" Okay sir"
" And Fred" I said.
" Yes sir" he replied.
" There's something else I want you to do for me" Frank said.
" What is it Sir?" He asked.

They got home and Fred drove into his apartment and parked at the garage.
" Thank you so much Fred, for everything" Frank Said.
" You're welcome sir" he replied.
" Don't forget what I asked you to do" I said.
" I'll get on it immediately" he replied.
" Thanks, You can go now. Update me later" Frank said then went inside the house.
Frank entered the house and met his wife at the entrance looking like a lost dog.
" Frank, I'm sorry for everything but it's actually not..."
" Here Bella, take this" Frank said giving her the file then take the stairs to his room and Bella follow suit.
" What's this?" Bella asked confused.
" You can read can't you" Frank said.
" Yeah I see it, but I still don't understand what it means" Bella said.
" Fine, let me make it clear to you...this is the file that says you're no longer tied to the marriage"
" You don't have to worry about the company anymore because we won't Demarge which is what you always wanted"
" So now if you want a divorce you can bring the divorce papers, I'll sign it then you will be free"
" I'm no longer holding you back in this marriage, you are now a free woman Bella... you're free so you can do whatever the hell you want" Frank concluded.
" Frank, this is not necessary. I don't want a divorce Frank...I want you, I want you to be my husband" she said.
" Really?, it's now you decided to be a loving wife...few days ago you accused me of Killing your boyfriend" Frank said angrily.
" F-F-Frank, what do you expect me to do?, You left the house without telling me, without giving me a chance to explain myself concerning the picture you saw"
" And then I heard about what happened, now tell me Frank. what do you expect me to think?" She said with teary eyes.
" YOU DIDN'T ASK ME WHAT HAPPENED" Frank shouted angrily.
" You believed every word they told you without giving me the benefit of a doubt, you didn't think otherwise, you didn't trust me"
" Fred my secretary knew I wasn't capable of doing such thing which made him did a little investigation on his own to make sure I was vindicated"
" If my secretary can do that I expected so much more from my wife but instead I was one of her suspect"
" Every relationship without trust will never flourish. I think I'm done being a slave to Love" he said then went to the closet.
" Please Frank, I know I'm wrong I know I did wrong, please forgive me. I'm sorry Frank, I'm really sorry" she pleaded on his knees.
" Please Bella, let's not do this now...I just got back and I need to rest" he said then packed his clothes from the closet.
" I'll be staying in the guest room for now" he said.
" You don't have to do this Frank...I'm the one at fault here I'll should be the one not you" she said.
Frank didn't reply then he packed the clothes and went out leaving her crying on the floor.
Bella decided not to disturb him too much cause he just got back and he must probably be tired.
She intended to try again tomorrow and make sure they are both back together.
