Chapter 62 - Bail Denied

Jossy's fingers moved quickly over the keyboard, her eyes fixed on the chats and comments on her laptop screen. For the last two days, she had enjoyed work very much. She loved that it was something she could still control. But the news anchor's voice pulled her attention to the television across the room.

Breaking news. Damien Rothwell has been denied bail in the ongoing assault case that has gripped national attention. This decision, made in a closed bail hearing earlier today, has shocked many given Rothwell's high-profile status and wealth. Cameras were not allowed inside the courtroom, but due to public interest, selected media outlets were permitted to attend. Their reports suggest the evidence presented was compelling enough for the judge to deem him both a danger to the alleged victim and a potential flight risk."

Jossy froze. Her hands above the keyboard, trembling slightly.

"This comes as a major blow to the Rothwell family. Damien Rothwell, the only heir to the family's hotel empire, now faces the possibility of remaining behind bars as the court proceedings move forward. His wife, Jossy Rothwell, has yet to release an official statement. She was conspicuously absent from today's hearing, though his parents were seen arriving at the courthouse early to offer support.

Damien Rothwell appeared tense in court, though dressed sharply and trying to remain composed, his clenched jaw and restless glances betrayed the pressure he is under as the case moves forward.

We'll bring you more updates as the case unfolds."
