With Cephas's help, she was able to get the company up and running again, using her recipes to create delicious pastries that quickly re-gained popularity.But despite her success, Tyla couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but there was a sense of unease lingering in the air, like a storm brewing on the horizon.One evening, as Tyla was closing up shop at Wills Pastry, she couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. She glanced around nervously, but the street outside was deserted, bathed in the soft glow of the streetlights. Shaking her head, she ignored her fears and locked up the shop before heading home for the night.But as she walked through the darkened streets of New York, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.

As the hours stretched into days, Cephas felt like he was living in a nightmare. Tyla's disappearance had sent shockwaves through his world, and despite their best efforts, the police had been unable to locate her. Every lead turned cold, every tip leading to dead ends.Cephas refused to give up hope, fueling his search for Tyla. He used every connection he had, reaching out to contacts both inside and outside the city, desperate for any sign of her whereabouts. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find her. Then, just when Cephas was beginning to lose hope, his phone rang, bringing him out of his despair. It was Sarah, his step-sister, her voice dripping with malice and hate as she spoke."Cephas," she said, her tone chilling. "I think I know where Tyla is."Cephas's heart skipped a beat, his pulse quickening with a mix of hope and dread.

The evening sun cast long shadows across the room, adding to the somber atmosphere as Zoro spoke from the heart, his voice filled with desperation."Sarah, please," Zoro implored, his eyes pleading with her to listen. "This has gone too far. We can't keep doing this to Cephas. He's your brother, for God's sake. You should think about the old times and the beautiful relationship you had in the past."Sarah's expression remained cold and impassive as she watched her husband, her features set in a steely resolve. She had made up her mind, and nothing Zoro said could sway her from her course of action."It's not too late for us to start over," Zoro continued, his voice tinged with hope. "We can leave all of this behind us, start fresh somewhere new. Just think about it, Sarah. We could have a fresh start, away from al

Finally, the door swung open, and a stern-faced detective entered the room, his gaze fixed on Violet as he took a seat across from her. "What can I do for you, miss?" he asked, his tone brusque.Violet took a deep breath, her heart pounding in her chest as she prepared to confess her crimes. "I have some information that I need to share with you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's about a kidnapping that I was involved in."The detective's eyes widened in surprise, and he leaned forward, his expression intense as he listened to Violet's confession. As she spoke, she felt a weight lift off her shoulders, a sense of relief washing over her as she finally unburdened herself of the guilt and shame that had been weighing her down for so long.When she had finished speaking, the detective sat back in his chair, his expression unreadable as he processed what she had told him.
