"Ma'am, if you have anything to say, you can come down to the station and make a statement."

Officer Reynolds calmly replied, but Rebecca was getting more and more hysterical by the minute.

"Are… are you threatening me? You can't take me to the police station, I'm trying to help you! Just listen to me, does it make any sense that a bum like him, who probably escaped from jail illegally, suddenly has a million dollars? I'm just saying you should check his background before trusting him–"

Officer Reynolds maintained a professional demeanor, but ignored Rebecca's remarks.

"Please be rest assured, we will conduct the investigation as thoroughly as possible, we don't need to be told how to do our jobs."

Although Rebecca wanted to slander Jack further, the response from the officer had made her shut up, and she couldn't do much apart from giving death glares to her ex- husband.

Meanwhile, the police meticulously checked all the information, including Jack's financial records, the source

    Rebecca found the opportunity to channel all her fear, anxiety, and anger about the situation into this rant against Jack, and continued to yell;"Do you find it really funny, huh? Tell me, are you feeling so happy now, after lying and manipulating everyone and turning them against me? You worthless man– you are the worst possible mistake of my life, I wish I had never met you at all! You have always been a horrible husband, who couldn't give me anything at all! And now, my boyfriend wants to make me feel loved and protected, I bet you are feeling like a real loser, right? But instead of realizing what a small ugly insect you are compared to him, you still have the audacity to laugh, after pulling me into all this mess?"Regardless of her frustration, Jack was unapologetically blunt in his response."Oh, so you think all this mess has been caused because of me? Well, news flash! If you hadn't put your hands on money that didn't belong to you in the first place, we wouldn't even be in

    The atmosphere inside the restaurant flipped all of a sudden as the henchmen scattered throughout the restaurant and approached the other guests, asking them to leave.Most of the guests had already sensed that the situation was heading towards disaster, and left their seats long ago. And as for the other ones, they didn't need much convincing to flee, especially after seeing the gruff body language of these thugs.Meanwhile, thoughts were swirling through Jack's mind like a storm, but he couldn't reveal his true emotions in front of everyone. The thugs were undoubtedly called to harass him, but he could see that they were trying to rattle his nerves by making him wait. The irony of the situation wasn't lost on him at all – was this the man his wife of eight years had betrayed him for? He couldn't help but wonder why his ex-wife would give an undeserving and disloyal man like him, a watch worth $700,000!A mocking smile settled on his lips as he thought about how absurd all this was.

    With calculated precision, Jack walked two steps before aiming a pistol at the ground and fired two shots with his aim on the first attacker, who was now writhing on the floor in pain.BANG! BANG!The sharp notes of the gunfire echoed through the room, as the two bullets found their mark– in his heart and head respectively. The confrontation finally reached its brutal climax. The lifeless form of one attacker was lying on the ground, while the painful struggles of the other thug also finally ended, leaving a heavy silence in the restaurant. But Jack remained vigilant, and his gaze darted towards the car which the attackers had probably arrived in, as that was the only vehicle left in the parking lot now. He moved with extreme caution before opening all the doors and checking if there was someone else hiding inside. The vehicle turned out to be completely empty, and Jack finally relaxed a little. He knew he couldn't stay in the Alpengarde for any longer; he would be in trouble if the

    Every parent's deepest desire is to cradle their children and keep them wrapped up in their bubble of innocence, sheltering them from the harsh realities of the world… for as long as they can. But sometimes, in this unpredictable journey of life, the parents are faced with a harsh choice. And then, the most important thing is to expose them to the truth, no matter how harsh or disturbing it may be, or how it might make them more mature than their age. Because only by exposing them to the truth, can the parent then teach the children how to keep themselves safe.All these thoughts were running through Jack's mind as he decided to confess everything in front of his daughter. "Sweetheart, the thing is, your mom's boyfriend, Robert… he isn't a good man. He is actually a drug dealer.""What does it mean, daddy?""It means that he has hurt some people for money, and now, the police are looking for him. But there is no reason to be afraid, okay?

    The threat of the imminent arrival of police officers cast a shadow over the assassin's face, showing that his resolve had started to crumble. "I am warning you for the last time, don't try any tricks with me… or I won't hesitate to roast you alive!"Jack smirked on hearing the assassin's words; by now, he had realized that his words were nothing more than empty threats. But he stopped himself from making any remarks yet. At this moment, the assassin's best option seemed to be to look for a makeshift solution in the form of a rope, which he could use to restrain Jack before he tried to do something funny.But it was evident from his jittery demeanor that his nerves were too frayed. With his gun trained firmly on Jack, he scanned the surroundings, his movements betraying a sense of urgency.All the time while he was scanning the apartment, the assassin was also keeping an eye on Jack, who was also waiting for the right moment to react. With his senses heightened, he observed the assa

    Jack flattened his foot on the accelerator, trying to get as far away from the River Valley Apartments as he possibly could. He was now in a race against time to secure his family's safety, as the threat of the drug dealer's goons was never going to leave him alone. He knew that the only way to permanently protect his daughters from the imminent danger was to eliminate the source of the threat – Robert Wendell. However, before he started out to accomplish this dangerous mission, he needed to relocate his family to a secure place, to shield them at least temporarily. At that moment, the only option that came to his mind was the safe houses he had built and set up in different locations of the city, back when he was the leader of the scavenger organization. He sped through the city streets, looking for the nearest safe house as the memory of its location was etched in his mind– and at this point, that would be no less than a lifeline to provide sanctuary for his daughters.But as

But why don't you go and put the girls to sleep in my room, first?"She added while looking at Jack's daughters, the younger one was asleep in his arms while the older one was groggily rubbing her eyes in confusion.Jack found himself at a loss for words, but still complied with her instructions.

    Margaret, Lucas Giorgio’s wife, gasped loudly at Jack's words, her hand flying to her mouth in shock. Lucas himself looked like he was close to fainting, his face turning ashen as he gripped the back of a nearby chair for support."What—what are you saying?" Margaret stammered. "Amelia wanted to kill Lucas? How can that be! How do we know it is even our Amelia, because that sweet girl would never put the blame for an accident on her beloved aunt and uncle—""Stop it! Just stop trying to convince everyone with your lies now, can't you see it's not working?”It was Megan’s voice which had interrupted her aunt's act. Her ace was completely twisted with fury as she was looking at Margaret, and she spat out;"Did you two really think that you could get rid of all your problems by kicking me out of the house? You killed my parents, both of you! And you thought I would just accept that fate? Not even in your dreams—"Just then, Megan shut her mouth, her eyes widening as if she had just reali

This is all a set-up… he… he wants to frame me for his wrongdoings! I haven't done anything wrong, you need to help me! Please!"The policeman standing behind Megan interrupted her with a stern voice. "Enough! Miss Simmons, don't forget that anything you say, can and will be held against you in the court of law. I suggest you continue the rest of this conversation with a lawyer."Megan's eyes darted around the room, filled with desperation and fear.

    It was almost four o'clock in the morning, by the time Jack finally found another parking lot in the city, which matched the description of the park that the girls had told him about. He ran around the park, searching everywhere with his flashlight, until he saw an unconscious figure lying near the row of bushes planted at the edge of the park. Jack went closer to investigate, and it was none other than Amy… she was lying face down into the ground, her body twisted into a vulnerable heap. The vibrant pink flowers on the bush were contrasting starkly with the sight of Amy's motionless form… and the sight of her filled him with a dread he hadn't felt in years. His heart raced as he knelt beside her, checking for a pulse. To his relief, it was there… her pulse was faint, but at least she was still breathing. Carefully lifting her into his arms, her head resting against his shoulder. His heart was pounding dramatically as he made his way to the car. The park was eerily quiet at t

    That evening, the atmosphere at the Giorgio family estate was tense after the chaotic events at the party. Lucas Giorgio, still shaken from the unexpected gunshot, wanted everyone to stay inside for their safety. "No one leaves the house today, and stay close to your guards at all times. I don't know what disaster God has rescued us from." He declared sternly, his voice leaving no room for argument.Everyone fell silent, but Amelia stood up, her face set in defiance. "Actually, I want to go out," she said, her voice trembling. "I can't stay caged in my room, I feel so suffocated in this house."Lucas turned to her, his eyes flashing with anger. "Amelia, did you not see what happened at the Renaldi's? This is not the time to be out and about."Her grandmother gave her son a harsh look, signaling that she would handle it. She then spoke to Megan,"Darling, you know what happened tonight. It's too dangerous. We have just got you back, we can't afford to lose you again–"Amelia's fru

    Rebecca arrived at the designated spot, a grim, abandoned parking lot that felt a world away from her past life. She had put on her best dress, which was still crumpled and worn out, but she couldn't care less about it right now. She waited, anxiety coiling in the pit of her stomach while she fidgeted with her chipping nails. But her neck snapped up attentively as soon as she heard the unmistakable click- clack of expensive heels echoing through the hallway.Turning towards the sound, Rebecca saw her arrive. The girl who stepped into view stood out sharply in their surroundings— she was dressed in designer clothes, carrying expensive accessories, and exuding an air of confidence and privilege. So, this girl had made no effort to hide exactly how wealthy she was… and despite not knowing her identity, Rebecca recognized her as someone from Jack's acquaintances– maybe she was an old co- worker? She didn't know many details, but maybe she had inherited some wealth recently? But in any

    The atmosphere in the restaurant had been perfectly pleasant, and the hum of conversation and the clinking of cutlery was flowing perfectly well with the soft tunes of Oriental music.Everything was so soothing that can urge anyone to have a closer look of the place and the same was going with the people sitting there, as they were sitting there peacefully, unknown from the hypocrisy going on there.Until the sudden, sharp sound of a fist meeting flesh echoed through the air, silencing everyone and drawing the attention towards the reception. People turned their heads, and eyes widened in surprise as they saw an imposing man standing over a fallen waiter, his fist still clenched, anger blazing in his eyes.

    Jack started to lead Amy towards the door by her hand, and Amy tugged at his hand. Jack sensed it immediately and stopped, looking at her with concern."Is everything okay?""Yeah, I just wanted to say thank you…" Amy replied, feeling a blush creep up her cheeks. "Thank you for the dress and the watch, they are both beautiful."Jack smiled, pulling her close for a quick kiss. "Only the best for my darling. Now, are you ready for our date, or is there something else you want to say?"Amy nodded, her excitement bubbling up once more.
