She slipped off the engagement ring, her voice cold. “You’ll never be the man I need,” she said, walking out and leaving me broken. Years later, as I stood successful and untouchable, she begged for my help. My heart ached, but I turned away. “You made your choice,” I whispered.

Framed and imprisoned
“Mr. Norman, you're under arrest!” the officer barked, stepping forward, with handcuffs. Norman glanced up from his desk, unfazed, his eyes cool and steady. “Under arrest? For what?” “For accepting a bribe!” The officer’s gaze hardened, but Norman didn’t flinch, though a flicker of confusion passed through his mind. “There’s been a mistake, Officer,” Norman said, keeping his voice steady. “I’ve never accepted a bribe. Who made this accusation?” “I did, Norman.” Before the officer could respond, the door swung open, and Lana, Norman’s fiancée, stepped inside, her expression twisted with disdain. “I reported you to the police. Now to save yourself from more embarrassment. Go with the police and pay for your crimes.”She said coldly.Norman’s calm wavered slightly as he turned to face her, his brows knitting in surprise. “Lana?” he asked, disbelief creeping into his voice，“What are you saying?““Don’t play innocent,” she snapped. “You took a bribe, and I did what was necessa

Lucas gritted his teeth, he's been trying all day to convince the officials that Norman's accusations were true. but he's yet to provide solid evidence making his claim hard for anyone to believe. Another official added, “Norman’s absence is already causing unrest. If we don’t handle this properly, the public outcry could escalate into something worse.” Lucas leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing as he listened. His jaw tightened, his lips forming a thin line. “Are you all implying that this city can’t function without one man?” he snapped, his voice cold and sharp. “We’re not implying anything,” the first official replied, clearly undeterred. “We’re stating facts. Norman’s influence runs deep. He’s respected by the people and feared by the criminals. Without him, the city loses its backbone.” Another chimed in, their tone bordering on a warning. “The longer you keep him detained, the more likely we are to face protests, or worse. You should release him immediately.” The room

Lucas frowned, he knew exactly why they were here. He was about to speak before Henry spoke abruptly. “If this is about Norman's case, he's still guilty, and you don't have to worry we're getting the evidence.” He said with disdain. Harris gritted his teeth as he glared at Henry. “I wasn't talking to you Mr. Havord, and you aren't the acting Mayor yet, don't act like one.” The words were like arrows, it shattered Henry's pride, he was about to speak but Lucas gestured for him to halt. “Let's go to the general office to discuss this.” He said to the other officials and they all head to a much larger office. **** One official started, “Norman’s absence is already causing unrest.

At Lucas's office Lucas leaned back in his leather chair, his hands massaging the temple of his head. After going through the annual cost Norman spends to provide for the families of fallen heroes, he still had doubts if these were legit. The expenses were so high, Henry and Lana was also present in the office, both as shocked as Lucas. “This… This is insane,” Henry finally spat, gesturing at the screen. “We’re expected to pay how much to these families every year?” Lucas leaned forward, clasping his hands. “Seventy-point-eight million. That’s what Norman had allocated annually. Seventy. Point. Eight. Million. For widows and orphans.” His voice dripped with contempt as he emphasized each word. It was unbelievable. “Ridiculous,” Lana chimed in, leaning forward with a cold smile. “Why should their sob stories drain our city’s coffers? Their husbands and fathers chose the line of duty. They knew the risks.” Henry turned, his anger palpable. “They act like the city owes them for etern

Henry's crew and the reporters were still packing up their things to leave, before Lucas leaned in, his voice low and firm. "You’ve got your orders. Clear them out. Now!"Henry nodded, jaw tightening as he turned to his crew. "Wrap it up. Everyone out, quickly."The crew fastened up, exchanging uneasy glances. Cameras were hastily folded away, and the reporters shuffled backward.“Norman doesn’t deserve this!” someone shouted from the crowd.“What evidence do they even have?” another voice chimed in, trembling with anger.“This is abuse of power, the Mayor is irresponsible!”Bethany stood rooted, her fists clenched at her sides. She stepped forward as the reporters disappeared into the distance. “Mr. Havord, this has gone too far,” she said, her voice steady but sharp. “Norman hasn’t done anything wrong. You know that as well as I do.”Henry spun on his heel, his face clouded with irritation. “Chief Bethany, don’t start. If he’s innocent, where’s the proof? Why hasn’t anyone come for

Their cries grew louder, and then one of the women, overcome with despair, stepped onto the front steps and raised her voice in a dramatic plea. “If this is what we are worth to you, then I don’t deserve to live!” She moved to the edge of the steps, her intent clear.Gasps filled the air as the crowd froze. Lucas went pale, panic flashing across his face. He darted toward her, his voice trembling. “Stop! Don’t do this! There’s no need for such measures!” The officials intervened quickly, pulling the woman back and calming her. Lucas, visibly shaken, turned to Henry, his voice low but urgent. “Fix this. Now. If this escalates further, we’re finished.” He knew if anything bad happened here, he's reputation as the Mayor would be destroyed, he might even be locked up.Henry, cornered and realizing there was no way out, bowed his head slightly. When he spoke again, his voice was softer, more genuine. “I’m sorry. Truly sorry. For everything we’ve done today. It was wrong.”The widows quiet

Lucas shifted uneasily, sweat forming on his forehead as he fumbled for words. Henry, however, maintained his composure, his expression hardening as if he was doubling down.Bethany, seething with anger, pointed an accusatory finger at both of them. "You two should be ashamed. Not only do you fail to appreciate Norman's kindness, but you also have the audacity to defame him publicly? Are you so blinded by your agenda that you can't see the truth?"Henry’s jaw tightened, refusing to back down. "Kindness? If he really wanted to help these women, why buy them such expensive houses? Why not something simpler? This just screams of ulterior motives."Bethany shot him a fiery glare. "So, let me get this straight. Women whose husbands gave their lives defending this nation don't deserve these homes? You think you deserve them more than they do? Is that it?"Henry faltered for a moment but quickly recovered. "That's not what I’m saying," he snapped. "I’m saying this entire setup is suspicious.

Bethany refused to believe this, maybe he just said that because be didn't want to come out of prison. Norman hadn't been making any effort to free himself, so maybe he just agreed to this.She couldn't take Norman's words, so she decided to investigate for herself.Bethany rushed down to her office, and was surprised at the number of people waiting for her.Amongst them was, Lucas, Harris and other high officials, these were all the people that had worked in office with Norman.

Even the Mayor couldn't afford to buy this type of mansion. How on earth would Norman, a mere acting Mayor own such a property? It only makes sense that Norman was in fact embezzling funds. “What? These are all expensive mansions, how can Norman own all these properties? And in Crestview hills?” Shockwaves rippled through Lana's mind. Crestview Hills, a neighborhood where the city's elite reside. The thought of him living among mansions and manicured lawns was jarring. "Crestview Hills? You can't be serious. How did you...?" she stuttered, her eyes wide with disbelief. “I'm as shocked as you, Lana. But that's the truth. And not only that, I found out some ladies are living inside the mansion too.” Lucas said further. Lana frown deepened, “Some ladies?!” Her shock was replaced with anger, and a hint of jealousy. “Has that trash been cheating on me?” Her urge to completely expose him increased. “So what do we do now, Mr. Lucas?” Henry asked. “This is enough evidence we need to b
