Rita's heart raced as Jaden unexpectedly appeared before her, his presence catching her off guard. She had been consumed by worry for her grandmother, that was the main reason she followed them to the hospital without them knowing. But now, faced with Jaden's presence, a mix of guilt and apprehension filled her.

"Jaden, I... I didn't expect to see you here," Rita stammered, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "Is Grandma alright?"

Jaden's gaze softened as he looked at her, his earlier bitterness momentarily giving way to concern. "Grandma wants to see you," he said quietly, his voice filled with a mix of emotions. "She asked for you specifically."

Rita's eyes widened with surprise and a glimmer of hope emerged within her. Without hesitation, she followed Jaden to the ward where Grandma lay, her frail form a stark contrast to the strength she had exhibited throughout her life.

    It was raining heavily on a Friday morning as Percy rudely opened Rita's door accusing her of luring her future husband Jaden to bed."How dare you Rita? What gave you the audacity to sleep with Jaden? I don't know why you can't let I and Jaden have peace in our relationship." Percy kept voicing out her pain as she told Rita to her face."Listen Percy I don't know what your insecurities are buy I can boastfully say that I had nothing to do with you Jaden and I won't watch you say those nasty things about me in my house. It's true that he came to my apartment but we didn't sleep together at all, I guess maybe if you've treated him right he wouldn't have showed up in my place yesterday." She replied Percy looking straight into her eyeballs."You know what Rita." as she pointed her hands into Rita face."What?" Rita slightly pulled Percy hands down and spoke directly to her face without a doubt in her voice."You're nothing but an a*sh*le and a Marriage breaker, you daughter of a bit*h."

They were taken into custody for questioning.Inside the small, sterile interrogation room, Detective Rodriguez eyed Noah and Percy sternly. "Gentlemen, you're both aware of the serious allegations against you. Rita claims she has evidence of your involvement in the kidnapping. Care to explain yourselves?"Noah exchanged a tense glance with Percy before sighing heavily. "Detective, this is all a misunderstanding. We were never involved in any kidnapping. Rita is just trying to pin something on us."Percy nodded in agreement. "Absolutely, Detective. We may have had some disagreements with Rita, but kidnapping? That's a bit extreme."Detective Rodriguez leaned forward, his gaze unwavering. "Rita seems pretty convinced that you two are responsible. And this recorded conversation she handed over, where you discuss the 'plan' and even mention the victim's name, doesn't help your case."No

    Rita's head spun as she tried to make sense of the situation. She blinked, trying to process the unexpected alliance between Noah and Percy. The room felt heavy with tension, and Rita's heart raced as she looked from Noah's eyes to Percy's determined expression."Rita, you have to understand," Noah began, his voice strained. "I never wanted any of this to happen. But you insisted on being with Jaden, and that tied your fate to his."Rita's eyes narrowed as she absorbed his words. "Tied my fate? What do you mean?"Percy chimed in, his tone calmer than Noah's, but equally serious. "Jaden possesses a power that could reshape the world, but it comes at a great cost. And you, Rita, unwittingly became part of that cost when you chose to stand by his side."Frustration bubbled within her, and she clenched her fists. "So, what?

But you don't understand the complexity of the situation."Percy clenched her fists, struggling to contain her frustration. "Complexity? Jaden, Rita is innocent in all of this. She's been through enough, and she doesn't deserve your wrath."Jaden's eyes flickered briefly, a hint of regret fleeting across her features. "Y

    Rita and Jaden sat across from each other in Jaden's spacious office, a map of the exhibition area spread out before them. "This powder might hold the key to unraveling the mystery," Rita mused, her brows furrowed in concentration.Jaden nodded, his eyes fixed on the map. "It's clear that someone intentionally tampered with the dresses. But why? And how does it connect to the models' asthma?"Rita leaned forward, her fingers tracing the outline of the exhibition booths. "The powder could be a trigger, something that aggravated their asthma and caused the accidents. But who would want to harm them? And why would they target the wedding dresses?"Jaden leaned back in his chair, his expression thoughtful. "We need to find out who had access to the exhibition area that night. Let's start by reviewing the surveillance footage."Rita nodded and pulled out her tablet. "I've already instructed the team to retrieve the footage.

    Percy leaned in, her voice a mere whisper, "Rita, think about it. With your parents' connections, we could make a difference. Save Jaden's company, his reputation."Rita's eyes flickered with a mix of uncertainty and determination. "But Percy, it's not that simple.
