As soon as the police team surrounded her, Megan felt more and more suffocated, like her freedom was being snatched from her in front of her eyes.

"You don't understand! 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."

    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.

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.

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?

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.
