On the day of Vivian's final hearing, she was surprisingly calm, she never would have thought that with her feet halfway to prison she could ever be filled with such serenity and peace. Personally, she knew it was simply because of the decision she had made, now she felt less of a monster and more of a mother, it was the best thing she had felt in a while. Deep down she could only pray that her daughter's would be there, as she had left a lot unsaid, and she was only now aware of how limited her time was. “Inmate 103!” The warden shouted, and Vivian stood up from where she had been sitting in her holding cell with difficulty. It was perhaps because of the rapid change in lifestyle, but all she had been feeling was cramps, everywhere. <

Jason was pacing as his mother relaid everything she had said and seen from his grandmother's office. He could not understand it, he had thought that with his aunt Vivian out of the picture, then Scarlett would be destabilized long enough for him to do something worthwhile, but no, she has already bounced back enough to make sneaky deals?He was sick of it all, every one he knew had taken the side of the wench far too often, it was one of the reasons why he distrusted his new partnership with Rich Wilson, he knew that even if he tried to deny it, the bastard had a soft spot for his cousin.Once again that feeling of being cornered and backed up the wall threatened to choke Jason, he knew that if Scarlett decided to take this battle seriously, then it was going to be problematic for him indeed.“So you're telling me that Grandma is playing so type of game?!” Jason thundered, he was also sick of that old woman acting like everyone was nothing more than chess pieces for her to move acco

Not gonna invite me in?” Scarlett greeted from where she stood, and she could see the contemplation on her sister's face, shocking her to the core, that she would even hesitate.“Fine.” She muttered before walking into the house, not even looking back to see if Scarlett was following her, but she did anyway, she needed to fix things.“So, I saw Aunt Elicia on my way here? Was she here to see you? What did she want?” Scarlett asked, and Michelle could only scoff angrily.“Why? Are you the only one worthy of visits from our esteemed family members?” She asked sarcastically, and Scarlett sighed, she had not meant it that way.“What's wrong with us Michelle?” She eventually asked, unable to bear the stiff silence any longer, and Michell

Rita had finally gotten a name, Jason Rodney, she was quite surprised at this cause she knew that Jason was Scarlet's brother, but judging by the way Mr Ronald was shaking and shivering in front of her, she doubted he would be able to lie, given his state.“Are you absolutely certain?!” Rita asked menacingly all the same, shoving her face closer to his with narrowed eyes, and watching as he blinked nervously, but she was unmoved.“I_i am absolutely certain Ma'am.” The poor guy had no idea when he yelled at his boss, and Rita was quite taken aback as she glared at him and he faced the ground in total contrition.“So Jason Rodney offered you too many dollars to lie against your boss.” Rita repeated his story slowly, trying to make sense of it, trying to also give him a chance to fess up, him coming back to change his story would lead to an inevitable dismissal.Mr Ronald was nervous indeed, after all he knew quite well that he was yet again promoting falsehood, but he just could not hel
