Wendy felt her heart drop as the weight of Rosalie's words hit her. Stunned to silence, she fixated her gaze on Rosalie, disbelief coursing through her as her pulse quickened. As she locked eyes with Rosalie's smug expression, her heart twisted with despair even further. How could this be?

Quickly diverting her gaze, Wendy scanned the room, hoping to find any signs that would validate or refute Rosalie's claims. To her astonishment, she noticed that very few or no persons in the restaurant resembled law enforcement. Only a handful of couples occupied the far side of the room, leaving Wendy puzzled. She couldn't fathom what was happening. If Rosalie had claimed she was surrounded, then how come no cops were in the room with them? Was Rosalie deceiving her? She questioned inwardly, her racing her heart slowly calming. Perhaps this was merely a ploy from Rosalie to instill fear in her.

With that thought, Wendy scoffed, redirecting her attention back to Rosalie.

Leonardo inquired, his concern evident in his tone. He struggled to express his apprehensions when Hayley gently interrupted him, cutting him off."Hey, Hey, it's okay," she reassured him, cradling his face as she gazed into his eyes. Leonardo felt the intensity of her gaze. "I’ll be fine, I promise. We’ll get through this together; you don’t need to worry about me.""But I still have my doubts, mi reina," he replied in a concerned whisper."I appreciate your concern, Leonardo, and I love that you care about me. But I'm reassuring you now that everything will be alright. And I'm coming with you. Daisy is my daughter too," she said, her flickering between his but Leonardo simply exhaled softly."We'll get through this together, okay?"

    Wendy scrutinized Rosalie intently as she continued yapping about her. She had already anticipated Rosalie's every action and was merely biding her time for the perfect opportunity to make her own move. The need to escape surged within her. Wendy was acutely aware of an unobtrusive exit in the restaurant that could facilitate her escape without attracting the attention of the cops. However, she sensed the scrutiny of the officers observing her from a distance, making her escape seem somewhat implausible. Nonetheless, she remained undeterred. Her need for freedom was paramount, and nothing would stand in her way; not Rosalie, not the police. If it came to it, she was prepared to resort to drastic measures, even if it meant using a firearm in broad daylight. She didn't care anymore."You know, Owen mentioned that you've always had a wild side, but I never imagined it would be like this..."

Although Rosalie’s face was turned away from her, the way she lay lifeless indicated the severity of the gunshot wound. It was possible that it had claimed her life. Upon realizing this, a dark smile spread across Wendy's face as she reveled in the knowledge that she had brought Rosalie down, and ironically, Rosalie would never witness her arrest. Wendy had long lost interest in the prospect of being apprehended. She was filled with joy at that moment, realizing she had taken her greatest enemy down. She couldn't be happier. A sinister chuckle escaped her lips as she shifted her gaze to the ceiling, a wave of exhilaration enveloping her as she laughed out wickedly. "Cuff her now," one of the officers instructed, signaling to his partner. Wendy continued chuckling wickedly, relishing her triumph. Just then, an officer lifted her from the ground and secured

She repeated, disregarding Lilian's shock."How did you manage to find this place?" Lillian retorted, her eyes darting between Hayley.

    While they were working in the prison yard that afternoon, Lillian occasionally stole glances at Wendy, who was positioned a few feet away from her. It had been three days since the court delivered its final verdict. And Lillian could attest to the fact that those days had been the most challenging of her life.They worked like lackeys in the yard, all day. She got bullied by her superiors; sometimes, she was denied dinner. While she had thought initially that she was resilient and could survive the prison life, now she was beginning to doubt her strength. Only three days had passed but it felt as though she had been trapped in there for decades. The relentless suffering felt overwhelming most times. Most distressing of all was the thought that her son would soon be placed in foster care, as she had been unable to secure her release from prison.

    .Hayley returned to the hospital after delivering the lawsuit documents to the wardress at Wendy's prison. Approximately an hour prior, the prosecutor, Alexa, who was overseeing Hayley's case, had provided her with the papers following their meeting. Hayley then drove to the prison, where Wendy and Lillian were incarcerated, and handed the documents to the wardress, choosing not to visit any of them. That was the least of her concerns; her only interest in seeing them was during the court proceedings, where the judge would render his final decision. With a sigh of frustration, Hayley pulled herself back to the present as she made a right turn onto the highway, heading towards the hospital. She recalled that the love of her life remained unconscious when she left earlier, and a wave of anxiety washed over her as she wondered if he had awakened from the coma.
