Inside the confines of the prison walls, surrounded by the echoes of his own violent outburst, Romeo felt the weight of his guilt pressing down on him.

He couldn't shake the image of the lackey's lifeless body, the result of his own uncontrollable anger.

The knowledge that he had let his emotions get the better of him filled him with shame.

As he was escorted to his cell, the reality of his actions hung over him like a dark cloud. He couldn't escape the truth of what he had done, and the remorse gnawed at him with each passing moment.

Suddenly, Inspector Bachmann burst into the office. "What is this? Why did you guys call me back?" His voice was sharp with urgency and confusion.

The officer in custody whispered in Inspector Bachmann's ear, "He killed someone. An inmate."

Stanley inquired with concern.Romeo remained silent for a moment before replying, "I'm holding up.""What do you mean by you are holding up?" Stanley looked confused."So, when are you getting your new glasses?" Romeo asked, noticing Stanley's lack of eyewear."I don't know. The doctor didn't specify when I would get new glasses," Stanley replied with a hint of frustration.After a moment's thought, Romeo broached a sensitive topic. "Stanley, that reminds me, why are you in jail? I mean, you look really innocent to me."Stanley heaved a sigh. "It's complicated.""Do you want to share it or not?""It was during pr

Romeo's abrupt shift in focus left him bewildered, unable to comprehend Romeo's change in attitude."I can't deny the fact that I am surprised that you no longer want to know about how much I would cash…""Yeah, you can keep the information about the cash to your stupid old selfish self." Said Romeo."But what I want to get from you, is your word.""What word?" Inspector Bachmann looked confused.Romeo leaned closer towards the inspector and said.

    Romeo sat beside Linda, who lay on the hospital bed, with a drip connected to her arm. Her eyes were red from crying, and her voice was weak."So my mother really killed our daughter?" she asked, her lips were trembling."Yes, love," Romeo answered softly. "She hated the fact that a broke man like me was living in her house, married to her most beautiful daughter."Linda’s face twisted in pain. "She…she’s so cruel. How could she ensure that a newborn baby—her own grandchild—was brutally killed? My baby..." Her voice broke as tears streamed down her cheeks.Romeo gently wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. "It’s okay, love. Don’t worry about that now," he whispered, trying to soothe her. "It’s over. We’ll get through this."She let out soft sobs, but after a while, Romeo’s comforting touch calmed her.

    Joseph Schultz took a deep breath before continuing his testimony, the weight of his words heavy in the silent courtroom. “However, Your Honor,” he began, “that is not her only sin. Mrs. Davidson was also responsible for the cyber attack on NovaTech, which caused the company to lose billions of dollars. This attack led to the tragic death of Miss Chen, the CEO of NovaTech, who took her own life after the collapse of her business.” Gasps filled the room as the people listened in shock. The judge leaned forward slightly. “What evidence do you have to prove this, Mr. Schultz?” Joseph reached into his pocket and pulled out a small flash drive. “I have a voice recording, Your Honor. This recording captures Mrs. Davidson speaking with the computer experts who carried out the heist.” “Can we hear it?” the judge asked, his voice calm but firm. Joseph nodded and handed the flash drive to a court officer, who inserted it into a laptop. Moments later, the sound of Mrs. Davidson’s voice fill

"Not guilty, Your Honor. I deny all these charges."Mrs. Davidson’s eyes flashed with anger as she raised her voice, refusing to stay calm in this matter. Her hands were clenched at the sides of the podium, her knuckles were white with tension."These accusations are absurd!" she spat, her voice was venomous. "I have worked my whole life to build my company from the ground up. I would never stoop to murder, corruption, or coercion! This is nothing but a disgusting attempt to ruin my reputation!"Her words echoed through the courtroom, and people shifted in their seats, taken aback by her sudden aggression."Y

    Two black bullet proof SUV vehicles pulled up in front of the hospital were Helen was. The doors opened, and General Romeo Stormbreaker stepped out. He didn’t wait for his security detail. His mind was only on Helen. He rushed toward the emergency department, with his military boots hitting the ground fast and hard.Without his usual moustache, the citizens nearby didn’t recognize him. Some glanced at him, confused by his familiar face, but they didn’t know who he was. Romeo ignored them and hurried through the hospital’s front doors, his eyes were scanning the area.“Where is the emergency department?” he asked the receptionist, his voice was tense.“Down the hall, first door to the left,” she quickly replied.Romeo followed her directions, walking fast. As he reached the entrance of the ward, he saw Helen’s mother, father, and sister waiting in the corner. They looked nervous, pacing back and forth. But when they saw him—dressed in his general's uniform—their eyes widened in shoc

He pointed to the soldiers near him.“Take her to the hospital,” he ordered, as his voice was sharp. “Make sure she receives the best treatment.”Without hesitation, two soldiers rushed to Linda’s side.

She turned her head towards the door and sighed.“Come in,” she called, expecting maybe a servant or a guest looking for a quiet moment.To her surprise, two men in military uniforms stepped inside. Linda’s eyebrows furrowed, her eyes were questioning their sudden appearance.“Madam Linda,” one of the soldiers said firmly, “your presence is needed in the celebration hall.”Her confusion deepened. “What happened? Why is my presence needed? I just left there a few moments ago.”The soldier straightened. “Those are General Stormbreaker’s orders.”Linda’s eyes widened in disbelief. “General Stormbreaker?” she repeated, her heart skipping a beat.“Yes, madam. General Stormbreaker,” confirmed the soldier.Without a word, Linda stood up, her legs started feeling heavier with each step as she moved towards the door. The two soldiers flanked her as they walked down the long hallway towards the celebration hall. Her thoughts raced—General Stormbreak

Don’t give me that look, I’m just kidding.”Mrs. Davidson frowned. “Are you mocking me?” she asked sharply, as her eyes narrowed.“No, no,” Joseph replied, shaking his head. “Come on, Mrs. Davidson, don’t take this too seriously. There’s no way that trash ex-son-in-law of yours is anything important, now or in the future.”Mrs. Davidson's gaze softened slightly, but her voice remained cold. “You’re very lucky you’re not mocking me,” she warned, as her tone was full of danger. “If you were, you’d be met with bitter consequences.”She brushed past him and moved toward the crowd, who were once again celebrating as if nothing had happened.Meanwhile, Linda slipped away quietly, her mind was spinning after everything that had happened. She headed up the stairs to her room, still inside the mansion, her footsteps were slow and heavy.When she reached her room, she closed the door behind her and leaned against i
