Free Black Friday: Exposed by Ashley;JaQuavis

Carmen said. She noticed Norelle’s disposition and frowned. “Smile, your man’s coming home. All you’ve got to do is go down there and get him.” Carmen stood from her seat and looked at her lady Movado watch. “I don’t mean to cut this meeting short, but I’ve got to get out of here. The press conference starts in twenty minutes. Call me if you need me.”
    Norelle got up and walked out of the office. Her head was all over the place. She thought about the money that was in Kasheef’s safe. He had more than enough money to post bail, but she had no intention of getting him out. If he goes to jail, that’ll leave me with nothing but time and opportunity to spend his money. Murder carried a twenty-five year to life sentence. She’d have nothing to worry about if he was convicted. Norelle thought back over the last two years in which they had been together. She tried to manufacture times that he’d done her wrong or cheated on her. She thumbed through her mental rolodex searching for just one memory that could justify her actions. A time he’d hit her or belittled her. All she needed was one instance to give her a reason to take his money and leave him rotting in jail, but she couldn’t come up with anything. Kasheef had treated her well and upgraded her tremendously when they started dating. She had not a need or want in this world because of his generosity. A twinge of guilt swept over her as she thought about all the times he’d made her smile. She knew she was wrong, but she didn’t care. Money made her world go round, and now that she had an opportunity to back stab Kasheef, she was going to take it. It’s all in the game, she thought as she made her way home.
     
     
    “My name is Carmen Rose and as you know I am representing Kasheef Williams. Mr. Williams is innocent and my team of legal consultants are doing all that we can to exonerate him of these false allegations. Keep in mind that Kasheef Williams is an upstanding figure within his community. He has donated countless hours to shelters in Long Island during the holiday seasons and even financed a youth basketball team in his neighborhood. If you listen to the rumors that are circulating regarding Mr. Williams’ involvement in illegal activities you will only be contributing to the corruption of these charges. Now, I will take any questions that you may have.” Carmen was in rare form as she stood on the courthouse steps and smiled for the cameras from all of the major news stations. She answered questions from the press professionally and handled herself like the star that she was. She was bringing major coverage to Kasheef ’s case and knew that it would help them in the courtroom. The jurors were sure to have seen the coverage and she hoped that it would help to paint a pleasurable picture of her client. As the press conference came to an end, she walked toward the black Lincoln Town Car that was waiting curbside for her. She turned toward the camera one last time and said, “I hope that all of you outstanding individuals will use the media as a way to spread a positive light on Mr. Williams’ situation. We don’t want the public to sensationalize the lies and ignore the truth. Justice is what we are seeking.” She watched the media eat up her words like steak and potatoes and then disappeared into the car. One of her paralegals sat beside her and looked back at the mass crowd of reporters. “Wow, you definitely got their attention.”
    “That was the point,” Carmen replied as she melted into the leather seats and closed her eyes. “The prosecution is sure to respond. It will be cat and mouse, tit for tat, until opening statements. Let the games begin.”
     
     
    The first thing Norelle did when she got home was open the safe. She needed to know exactly how much money she was working with. She pulled out each bundle and admired each stack that was perfectly wrapped in rubber bands. She laid all of the money out on her bed and began
