The lawyer is also still grieving the death of his lover Harry Thompson which left him an emotional wreck.

James suffered through Jesses funeral this week and almost blurted out the truth to Courtney that hes the one to blame, but Grace managed to keep him under control.

Grace told him: “This shame is our punishment, and we have to live through it. For our kids.”

But just as James got home and thought the drama was over for the day, he was terrified to receive an anonymous note saying: I know you shot Mercedes.

James and Grace – who also received a note with the ominous warning – were terrified to realise that someone knew their dark secret.
