A lot went through Jade's mind as she sat by the pool, drinking her favorite wine. She thought it'd make her feel much better, but what she felt was far from good.The wine tasted sour in her mouth.Jade frowned as she looked up."My mood has been ruined already," Jade muttered to herself. "Why should it be ruined any further?"The last person she wanted to see was the person walking toward her."Your husband is locked up in a cell and you're drinking expensive wine."Jade rolled her eyes as she heard Bryan's annoying voice. He crouched before her and picked up the bottle of wine beside her."You're making me miss my wealthy days," Bryan said and Jade glared at him."Drop my wine." Jade's voice was low and intimidating. "I'm not interested in drinking your wine. I won't enjoy it since my friend is being imprisoned." Jade threw her face away and he watched her intensively."You still think Bruce is the kind of person that will try to steal from you, don't you?"Jade ignored him. She

‘I forgot to tell you. I found something else. Mrs. Williamson wasn't the only one that planned Jade's kidnap. She in fact was acting under the command of someone else who wants your downfall. This person might strike again anytime soon.’Bruce couldn't keep Mr. Archibald's words off his mind. He was glad to be back home, safe and sound, drinking wine on the rooftop but from Mr. Archibald's words, someone was trying to take this away from him.The biggest problem was that who the person was was unknown.‘Who is it?’ He recalled asking Mr. Archibald.‘I wish I knew. Just be very careful.’ That was his reply."Arghhh," Bruce groaned. It was just too frustrating. He wondered when all the attacks from enemies would stop."What are you thinking?"Bruce got startled. He heaved a sigh on recognizing Bryan's voice."I knew it. Something is troubling you." Bryan took a seat beside him."I thought you left."A few minutes ago, Bryan had told him he was heading home. Bruce wondered what brought h

"I did not do it! I was framed. I've done so many bad things but this one isn't included."Bruce could hear Lucia screams. He sighed in frustration. He felt strange. His gut feeling kept on nudging him that Lucia was innocent.It was strange because he knew Lucia as a bad person. She was capable of commiting the crime she was accused of and it was strange that he suddenly felt that she was innocent."Arghhh!" Bryan groaned. He sat beside Bruce on one of the benches. "Her screams. Anyone who does not know Lucia well would think that she is innocent. She just have a way of appearing innocent before people.""She does?" Bruce wondered if that was why he suddenly felt she was innocent."I know Lucia more than most of her family members does. We used to be accomplices, remember. She has opened up to me numerous times. I know exactly what she is. If we're not careful, Lucia would prove herself innocent even if she isn't. You should pressurize the police to torture her immensely till she conf

Bruce sighed in frustration as he looked up at the building rooted before him. This was the last place he wanted to visit.Lucia was in there and he hated to see her face. "Why am I suddenly visiting her?" Bruce asked himself. Yeah, right, he still had the gut feeling that Lucia was accused falsely.Bruce turned his back to leave.After walking a few steps, he paused, sighed again, turned back to the building and walked into it.As expected, Lucia was in her most miserable state. It was hard for Bruce to believe that the woman behind the bars in front of him was the same woman that devoted most of her time to looking good. She devoted more time to looking good than to doing evil. She stinked, there were holes of various shapes, decorating her cloth, her hair was unruly and her skin had darkened."You're here to see how pathetic I have become," Lucia said with a sad smile. "You've finally had your revenge, haven't you.""You brought whatever predicament you're in on yourself. I only

"Lucia did it. Stop forcing me to tell lies."Bruce stared at the man that just roared the words at him blankly."George, right?" Bruce said after a while. The man looked at him in disdain. George was the man that had confirmed that Lucia was the one who kidnapped Jade."You were paid by the real culprit to pin the blame on Lucia, right?" George looked away. "Make another confession. This time around, you have to tell nothing but the truth."George smirked. "In your dreams. Lucia is innocent but she would rot in jail until my boss decides to help her get out.""Who is this boss of yours?" Bruce asked. "He must have a problem with me, right? He knows who I really am after all.""I won't tell you that either."Silence prolonged between them, then Bruce opened his mouth to talk. "You know very well that you're alone here with me. You're beaten up and at my mercy. I can kill you this very moment if I want.""I dare you." George smirked. "We also both know that you can do nothing to me."
