Jane trudged back to Anderson's home, her mind was in a whirlpool of humiliation and anger. She could still feel the weight of Harvey's stern warning and the eyes of strangers on her as she scrambled to pick up her belongings. She remembered how it all happened. How she walked back gave her time to compose herself, but the sting of failure stayed.

How she created a scene at the store. And also the consequences of it.

She opened her door, threw her purse on the couch, and sank into an armchair, covering her face with her hands. She took a deep breath before speaking. As Gracia called her on the phone just to make sure she was alright.

"Hello, Gracia, “Yes, I've gotten home. But I'm not really okay. I feel so humiliated. I can't even believe that I followed Harvey to the store and tried to create a scene by bumping into him, it’s crazy. To even think that he saw right through it all. Harvey, who used to be close to me, now warned me not to follow him again or he'd call the cops. I feel

    Mrs. Eloise sat on the couch in the living room, thinking deeply about everything that had happened to their family. She couldn't make any sense of what was happening. How had they fallen this deeply? She sighed, glancing around the once-luxurious room now stripped of many of its finer furnishings. It seemed just yesterday they were living in comfort and security, but now they were on the brink of losing everything.Her thoughts drifted back to the numerous attempts they had made to contact Harvey. Despite their efforts, he had refused to help them even after they offered him a share of the company’s profits. It made no sense to her. Why would he turn down such an offer unless he was already doing well for himself? The last time she saw him, he seemed comfortable, even prosperous. But how did it happen? She wasn't sure but vowed to find out.The sound of footsteps broke her daydreaming. Garcia entered the room, looking as tired and worried as Eloise felt.“Mom, are you okay?” Garcia as

The company's downfall had affected everyone in the family, but it seemed to have changed Edward the most. The once charming and ambitious young man she had fallen in love with had become distant, irritable, and cruel. Every day, Edward found new ways to insult her. "You're worthless, Garcia," he would say, with his voice dripping with disdain. "You can't do anything right. Look at what your family's failure has done to us." Garcia would try to defend herself, but her words always seemed to fall on deaf ears. "Edward, please," she would plead. "We’re all going through a hard time. You need to be patient with me." But Edward’s face would twist with anger. "Patient with you? For what? Your family’s company is a sinking ship, and you’re dragging me down with you!" Today was no different. Edward stormed

    Mr. Michael Anderson sat on a battered old chair in the corner of his uncompleted building, staring blankly at the crumbling walls around him. The place felt more like a ruin than a home, it reminded him how far his life had fallen apart.The roof was unfinished, with sections covered only by tarps that flapped in the wind. The concrete floors were cold, and the walls were bare, just exposed brick and mortar. Outside, the sun was shining, but inside, it felt as if the darkness had already settled in.His wife sat sadly across from him on an old mattress, her face was swollen and tired. They hadn’t spoken much in days; there wasn’t much to say anymore.

    Meanwhile, Harvey was sitting in his office, calm and composed. He knew the police would come knocking soon. He had expected it. After all, Hugo would try to drag him down with him, just like a drowning man grabs onto anything to stay afloat. But Harvey was also prepared. He had erased every bit of evidence, every communication that could link him to the illegal deal. He had covered his tracks meticulously.When the police arrived at Harvey’s office later that day, he was ready. They asked him to come down to the station for questioning, and he agreed without hesitation. He knew that the best defense was to appear cooperative, and innocent.At the station, they led Harvey into a different interrogation room. The detectives from earlier sat across from him, their expressions were serious but slightly stumped.“Mr. Harvey, thank you for coming in,” the first detective said. “We just have a few questions about your involvement with Hugo Bennett and Lewis Anderson.”“Of course,” Harvey re

    Hugo had thought he was in the clear. He had played his part perfectly, setting up Lewis for the illegal ammunition deal, and may have gone free. Everything had gone according to Harvey’s plan, or so he thought. The police had arrested Lewis, and Hugo believed he would walk away with his freedom intact. But Hugo underestimated Harvey. He had no idea that Harvey had set him up from the very beginning.It all came crashing down when the police showed up at Hugo’s door early one morning. He was still in bed, with his eyes barely open, when he heard the loud, insistent knock, he was Startled, so he jumped up and threw on a robe, hurrying to the door with a squeezed brow wondering who it might be. As soon as he opened it, he found himself face-to-face with several stern-looking police officers.“Hugo Bennett?” one of them asked, in a firm and cold voice.“Yes, that’s me,” Hugo replied, as his heart began to pound. “What’s going on?”“You’re under arrest for conspiracy to commit illegal act
