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.

Catelyn’s heart ached at this. She believed with all her heart that her kind father could not possibly be a murderer. With tears pooling in her eyes, she hoarsely croaked, “Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll find a way to overturn your case and get you out!”
