Later that day, Diana visited Danny's house. He led her to his room, and together they studied. During that time, they heard commotion from the living room. Danny rushed out, locking the door behind him, preventing her from witnessing the fight between his parents. As he defended his mom, his father overpowered him, tossing him aside. Unable to restrain his father, Danny returned to his room to retrieve a gun. Diana questioned his actions, but he ignored her, selecting one of two guns he found. "Are you going to shoot your dad?" Diana asked as she blocked his way."Get out of the way." Consumed by rage, Danny tossed her aside, and she landed on his bed. He returned to the living room, where he pointed the gun at his father."Stay away from her, you son of a bitch, or I swear to God, I will blow your head off," Danny threatened."You're not going to pull the trigger on your old man; you don't even know how to use this thing," his father said, smiling mischievously. Before he could con

"The cops are here," Diana said, spotting a police car parked nearby. A lady dressed in uniform emerged and ran towards them. Her expression turned grave as she saw a lifeless body on the floor and her son crying."What happened?" Phillips' mom asked as she crouched down, her expression serious. She prayed it shouldn't be what she was thinking."He tried to kill us. Your son saved us by pulling the trigger first," Diana said, fear evident in her eyes. Phillips was silent, overwhelmed with guilt. He just squatted and stared at Nate's body, tears flowing from his eyes. "Phillips, compose yourself and explain what happened," his mom demanded, lifting him up by his shirt."I killed him. I didn't mean to. I wanted to save us," he said, his voice breaking, tears continuing to flow.Phillips' mother found it difficult to believe that her son could commit such an act. Knowing him well, she was certain this wasn't something he would normally do. She concluded in her mind that her son was shou

"Mr. Daniel Weston, you said Diana was with you the first time; can you please elaborate on what happened the first time?" the prosecutor said.Danny then looked at his lawyer, who gave him the go-ahead."She came to my house to study first, and then while studying, we heard noise from the living room. I immediately knew it was my dad... beating up my mom, so I went to help," Danny replied."How exactly did you plan on helping? Were you going to fight your father or beg him?" The prosecutor asked."How does this concern... all of this?" Danny snapped. He looked at the judge, who didn't utter any word. God, he hated lawyers. Maybe this was also a legal procedure, or was the prosecutor trying to get him to fumble his story and prove he's been lying all along? Not a chance."I tried to get him to back down, even if it meant fighting back, and he eventually did," Danny said."But that's not exactly how I remember the story," the prosecutor said.'What now?' Danny thought. Why was this man

Damon discreetly trailed Phillips and his mother, maintaining a cautious distance as he observed their interactions. While preparing to enter the car, they appeared engaged in a heated argument."The police department is going to do everything they can to find the killer; we're in a precarious situation," Martha expressed her concern, contemplating the next course of action. If Danny had been incarcerated, the case would have concluded, sparing them scrutiny. However, now the police would intensify their efforts until the perpetrator was identified.Martha grappled with the implications of Alex's disappearance. Anticipating that the town would soon be inundated with security agents, she recognized the complexity of the situation she had unwittingly entangled herself in. Faced with these challenges, she pondered devising a plan. The notion of portraying Alex's demise as an accident crossed her mind, but the geographical incongruity and potential questions arose—Alex is said to have left

The time had come for them to meet with Alicia. She called Abigail again and instructed her to ensure Phillips wasn't with them.Abigail was somewhat surprised; this behavior mirrored Damon's. What's the deal with them and Phillips? "That won't be a problem because he's not with us," Abigail replied."Good," Alicia said and hung up. Abigail had only agreed to work with Alicia because of Damon. Otherwise, she would have blocked Alicia's number the moment she called.Abigail, Fortune, Danny, and Dominic went to the school to meet with Alicia. She led them to the chemistry lab, where she pulled out her laptop from her backpack. Then, she connected a drive and played a video for them to watch.In the video, a figure covered in a large black material walked inside gently, as if sneaking in. The material got caught, revealing something golden embedded on their chest and by the waist – a gun. However, the video was blurry, making it impossible to discern the person's face."This looks like t
