Sandy and her mother sat in the living room, their faces filled with sadness and disappointment as they watched the news unfold. The weight of the situation hung heavy in the air, casting a shadow over their once peaceful home. Feeling overwhelmed by the emotions swirling inside her, Sandy reached over and switched off the TV. She turned to her mother, her voice tinged with frustration and hurt. “I hope you're happy sending Dad to jail! All because of greed!”Before her mother could respond, the sound of a doorbell interrupted their conversation. Sandy's eyes widened in surprise, wondering who could be at the door at such a tense moment.Curiosity piqued, Sandy and her mother exchanged glances, Sandy made her way to the front door.

James Richmond sat in the family living room with his two sons, discussing their plan to manipulate Dexter, their main target. "I've been thinking about how to gain Dexter's trust," James said, leaning back in his chair. "I believe the best approach is to appear as a friend, uncle and mentor to him, someone he can rely on."His older son, Jack, raised an eyebrow. "But Dexter is no fool, Father. He's smart and suspicious of everyone around him. How do you plan to sway him without raising his suspicions?"James smirked confidently. "I may be the main villain in this game, but I assure you, I am no amateur. I know how to play the long game and manipulate people without them even realizing it."His younger son, Alex, nodded in agreement. "He's right, Marcus. We need to trust Father's expertise in this matter. He's gotten us out of sticky situations before."James looked at his sons with a steely gaze. "We need to be patient and strategic. Dexter won't see us coming until it's too late."
Sandy stormed into the living room, her face flushed with frustration. "Mom, I can't believe you went ahead and printed the wedding cards without even waiting for me to give Ryan his reply! What were you thinking?"Her mother looked up, a calm but concerned expression on her face. "Sandy, I did it for your own good. You can't pass up on this opportunity to get back what we own.”Sandy shook her head, feeling a mix of anger and exasperation. "But what if i say no, Mom? What then? Now we have all these wedding cards and no wedding!"Her mother reached out and took Sandy's hands in hers. "I understand, sweetheart. But I believe in you, and I know you won't say no, we are already miserable as it is. I just wanted to show my support for you and let you know that I'm here for you no matter what."Sandy took a deep breath, her anger subsiding as she looked into her mother's eyes. “Support, you call this support no mum you're pushing me to hell. Her mother nodded, understanding why Sandy wa
As Richard entered the police station, the bustling atmosphere immediately caught his attention. People were coming and going, and the air was filled with the sound of ringing phones and urgent conversations. He made his way inside to the desk officer, carefully holding onto the file he had obtained from Dexter.Suddenly, a man dressed in black bumped into him, causing Richard to stumble and nearly drop the file. "Hey, watch it!" he exclaimed, but the man simply muttered a quick apology and hurriedly made his way out of the station. Richard couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off, but he brushed it aside and continued on his way.Approaching the front desk, Richard caught the attention of one of the officers on duty. "Excuse me," he said, "I need to speak with the chief of police. It's urgent." The officer nodded and picked up the phone to make a call.

Priscilla sat across from her daughter, Sandy, in the elegant sitting room. The room was adorned with antique furniture and delicate lace curtains that billowed gently in the soft breeze.

"Action? What do you mean, Mother?"Priscilla took a deep breath, steeling herself for the conversation ahead. "I'm talking about your marriage, dear. It's time you made your decision sandy.”Sandy's eyes widened in surprise. "But Mother, why now? We've been perfectly content as we are."Priscilla fixed her daughter with a steady gaze. "Sandy, you know as well as I do that this is about more than just a piece of paper. The Wayne family name is at stake here. We need to protect our legac
Dexter's phone buzzed incessantly, rousing him from a fitful sleep. He groggily reached for it, squinting at the screen to see a flurry of missed calls and urgent messages. An incoming call, he picked it up. It was a call from the chief of police. Rubbing his eyes, he realized the gravity of the situation and immediately dialed Richard."Richard, something's up. We need to meet at the police station right away," Dexter said, his voice urgent.Richard's groggy voice crackled through the phone. "I'm on my way. I'll meet you there."Dexter hastily dressed and made his way to his car, his mind racing with a mix of anxiety. As he pulled out of the driveway, the early morning light cast long shadows across the quiet street, adding an eerie sense of urgency to the situation.Arriving at the police station, Dexter was met by Richard, who wore a similarly grave expression.

As the news of Ryan's death spread through the Malibu district, a somber mood settled over the community.

She glanced at her mother, a tumult of emotions churning within her. A part of her couldn't shake the feeling that her mother was somehow responsible for Ryan's death.

However, as the call ended, a wave of anger swept over him. He slammed the phone down on his desk, shattering it into pieces.Frustration and unease gnawed at him as he contemplated the situation. He knew that as the sole remaining child of late Master Richmond, he would inevitably be drawn into the investigations. His mind raced with thoughts of the potential consequences and the impact it could have on his family's reputation.In a fit of rage, he stood up and shouted, his voice echoing through the room. With a swift motion, he swept a flower vase off the nearby table, sending it crashing to the floor. The sound of breaking glass filled the air as shards scattered across the room, mirroring the shattered state of his composure.Seething with frustration and u
