Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler

Chapter 1

“It is this court’s decision that the defendant, Ezekiel Clark, is found guilty of the charges of murder and fund-raising fraud, and will be sentenced to death two years from now.” 

Thunk! 

Following the sound of the gavel striking against the sound block, Ezekiel’s fate was sealed. 

Catelyn stood up abruptly from the audience stand. Tears gathered in her amber-colored eyes but stubbornly refused to fall as she stared anxiously at Ezekiel. 

“Dad…” She went up in an attempt to speak to Ezekiel, and it felt like there was a lump in her throat.
