Upon familiar doorthreshold at journey's end, he rapped gently, heart swelling with gratitude at Sarah's predictable emergence.

As incriminating threads unfurled through clandestine digging, unseen forces converging orchestrated maneuvers counter Ethan’s righteous trajectory. Upon worn threshold ominously materialized horse-drawn carriage emblazoned with Scooper heraldry. With steadying inhale did Ethan swing portal ajar, finding loathsome visage of Mrs. Scooper awaiting within cab’s shadowed recesses. “We must convene. Your...findings threaten all we’ve built. Consider compensation for discretion,” sneered she.“I pursue only justice and truth, madam. Nothing can divert righteous cause,” declared Ethan resolutely.

As emboldened village yet maintained protective vigil through gathering dusk, unease festered within Ethan's spirit like malignancy. Intuition stirred, urging gnarled paths' further exploration for answers shrouded in intricate lies.Slipping beyond watchful borders unnoticed, he traversed moonwashed labyrinth by dead reckoning alone until materializing upon lawless docklands once more. If shadows yet festered undispelled, liberation's flame flickered in perpetual peril.Approaching ramshackle tavern swelling with vice and secrecy, Ethan rapped thunderously upon splintered oak. A murder hole slid open, bloodshot glare scrutinizing before reluctantly granting passage. "Speak yer business, stranger." Ethan addressed hulking doorman steadily. "I seek one who lingers where law holds no dominion. Alert Ganesh - justice's servant requires audience." After terse appraisal, a grunt ushered him inside gloom's dank embrace. At private nook amid cacophony, thoughtful puffs coalesced into mist

Ethan sighed as he stirred the pot on the stove. The rich aroma of simmering soup filled the air. Amelia lounged on the couch, scrolling through her phone without a care. "Amelia, the soup is ready," Ethan announced, hoping for a moment of acknowledgment. She glanced up briefly. "Whatever, Ethan. Just serve it already." Amelia being a rich lady, looks really good with her brown hair and fancy clothes. She grew up in a super rich family where being important was the most important thing. This made her think she was better than everyone else. Amelia treats people badly because she thinks they're not as good as her. When she was a kid, her family had lots of money and didn't have to worry about problems. This made her think she could do whatever she wanted. But inside, Amelia feels unsure about herself and wants to control everything. Suppressing his frustration, Ethan plated the soup and carried it to the living room. Amelia barely looked at the food, engrossed in her phone. "Eth

She took a sip of her coffee before responding.She replied casually, "Oh, that. It was just a bit of fun, Ethan. No need to make a big deal out of it."Ethan said firmly, "This is a big deal, Amelia. Our marriage is falling apart, and your actions are making it worse."She responded mockingly, "Marriage? Please, Ethan. It's just a piece of paper. And don't pretend you didn't enjoy the good life I gave you."Ethan said seriously, "It's not about the good life, Amelia. It's about trust and respect. I won't accept being treated like this."Amelia rolled her eyes and continued sipping her coffee, dismissing Ethan's concer
