15th September, 2025, Sam's hearing took place in the Supreme Court of Spain in the Spanish Capital City, Madrid.

It was a big occasion.

Afterall, it was a damaging scandal involving one of the recent big names of Spanish football, one of FC Barcelona's superstar players.

The media already fanned the flames for weeks, and now it all hit a crescendo, setting the stage for the showdown in the court.

…

Having arrived in Spain already, hours before the court hearing, Amaka Glimz released one final video to her fans.

The young Nigerian lady had a disbelieving look on her face. "I can't believe it got to this level".

"I honestly don't know what Sam is thinking," she sighed, expressing great pain. "To think he would hurt me and not feel remorseful at all, to still push me to this extent, I fear there's nothing more I can do".

"The evidence is solid against him; there's no way around it".

"Alas I gave him a way out of this".

She looked at the camera, a look of determination in her eyes. "Sam, if you're watching this, know that I gave you a chance to resolve this amicably but you refused my goodwill".

"I'm not at fault if this ends up affecting your football career".@@novelbin@@

"I tried my best".

"Now, let the law take its course".

The video ended there.

This video fanned the flames online that surrounded the hearing in Spain even more, causing a frenzy of discussion by fans online.

Some supported Amaka, a few diehard fans supported Sam, while majority of the viewers stayed neutral, refusing to jump to a conclusion till the court hearing finally came to an end and the judge gave his verdict.

The D-day was here, now came the time.

The hours rolled fast and in no time, it was 10:00am in Madrid.

…

Whoosh!

Luxurious cars rolled to the occasion, stopping at the entrance to the Supreme Court of Spain as numerous esteemed individuals attended to the occasion where Sam's fate was to be decided by the court.

From high-profile lawyers to high-profile celebrities, there was no lack of esteemed faces today as majority of the world's attention turned to this hearing.

Among the high-profile faces were those from FC Barcelona.

Pulling out in their luxurious cars for their teammate, Pedri and Gavi pulled to the occasion dressed in neat black suits.

Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde also arrived in another luxurious car. Of all of them though, the most high profile was the arrival of the legendary Polish striker, Robert Lewandowski who graced the occasion.

"I can't believe it!"

"All these people came out for Sam?!" People gossiped in the background.

"Are they just being biased because he's their teammate, or its because they believe that Sam is innocent?"

Amid all the gossip, another luxurious car pulled up to the occasion, a GLE 53 AMG and from inside, one of the main characters of today pulled out.

Almost 1 month without football…

Almost 1 month of a damaging scandal, almost 1 month of being exposed to scary amount of online abuse, almost a month of being held in police custody…

A lot of people expected Sam to be depressed by the whole situation. At the very least, they expected the toil from the abuse to show on his face and body but when Sam stepped out of the car, none of that showed.

He didn't look emaciated and malnourished at all.

Rather, all that showed was undaunted confidence and unmatched charisma.

Thud!

He stepped down from the car.

Sam's black shoes gleamed like the smooth surface of obsidian glass as they touched the pavement, the perfect accentuate for his all-black attire.

His black trunks, his long black cloak, and the dark shades that added an extra layer of seriousness to his demeanor today, all of it made Sam look like a secret CEO of some big ancient family.

Click! Click!

The cameras quickly started flashing, letting out clicking sounds as the alert cameramen took pictures of the famous footballer.

No matter the outcome of the hearing today, these pictures were clearly going to sell for big prices as news company clamor to milk the impact of today.

As soon as Sam came down, he walked, and then they followed.

Following behind him was his personal lawyer, his girlfriend, Kayla, and his best friend, Ian. Together, they walked confidently into the court of law, into the maws of the judiciary.

Mr. Moses pushed to attend this hearing in Spain but Sam was against it. He didn't want his parents to be dragged into the heat of this scandal.

About a minute later, another car pulled up and Amaka walked out. She was dressed in a neat blue gown. She walked in with her lawyer.

Once they entered the court of law, the massive doors were slammed shut even as the hearing was scheduled to start.

Inside the Supreme Court building was filled with lots of high-profile faces.

3 minutes after the door were shut, the judge walked in.

As soon as he sat down, he went through a few of his documents that were on his table before finally starting the hearing.

After saying a few customary words, he commenced the main event.

"Let the plaintiff present his case before the jury".

In a court of law, there is a defendant and a plaintiff. The plaintiff is the party that brings the case against the defendant.

In normal circumstances in a court of law, the plaintiff and their witnesses present evidence first.

The outcome of the case depends on whether there is a jury or not. The judge decides the outcome of the case after listening to evidence from both sides.

As soon as the judge demanded it, Amaka's lawyer stood up, eloquently presenting the case before the judge.

"The accused, Sam assaulted my client physically and sexually".

Starting from that, this lawyer flexed his trained eloquence in front of the judge, presenting the case perfectly and putting Sam out as the villain before eventually supporting his claims with solid evidence, the videos and images.

Silence reigned in this court of law as soon as Amaka's lawyer presented her case. Calmly, the judge acknowledged them before moving on.

"Now, let the defendant defend his case".

In the eyes of dozens of people inside this court room, Kayla Banks stood up.
