As the show commenced, the models strutted down the runway, showcasing the creations of the various designers.

    You're right," Rita admitted, feeling a bit rea*sured by his support. "I just can't shake the feeling that there might be hidden motives behind all of this. The timing seems too coincidental.""I won't deny that it's suspicious," Jaden said thoughtfully. "But let's focus on what we can do now. We need to trust the organizers to conduct a thorough investigation and find the truth. In the meantime, let's keep our heads high and show everyone the strength of your talent."Rita nodded, grateful for Jaden's calming presence. "You're right. I can't let this distract me. I worked hard on this design, and I'm proud of it. I won't let anyone take that away from me."-She calmly said to Jaden as she walked back into the Hall.As the crowd continued to murmur, Rita's frustration grew with each pa*sing moment.

They're doing everything they can to make sure both of you are safe.""I can't believe you came back as soon as you heard," Rita said, her eyes filled with love and admiration for Noah. "You didn't have to do that.""Of course, I did," Noah replied. "You and your baby mean everything to me. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else at a time like this. We're in this together, Rita, and I'll support you through it all."Rita held Noah's hand tightly, drawing strength from his presence. "I never realized how much I needed you until now," she admitted.

"Well, well, well, look who's all grown up now," She said, her tone dripping with arrogance. "You certainly moved on quickly, didn't you?

    Rita handed over the recorded phone conversation to the police, accusing Noah and Percy of kidnapping. 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 eyes fluttered open, and she found herself in a dimly lit room. Percy was sitting beside her, concern etched on his face. "Rita, are you alright?" he asked, his voice filled with worry.She took a deep breath, her memories still swirling in her mind. "I... I remember," Rita whispered, her voice quivering. "I remember everything now, Percy."Percy's eyes widened, a mix of surprise and relief washing over him. "You do? That's incredible, Rita.

It was Jaden who caught hold of it, not you."Percy's expression darkened, his grip on the necklace tightening. "Rita, you don't understand. I... I did what I had to do to protect you.

She played the victim, revealing Jaden's information to Noah, aiming to gain his trust and work together to abduct Rita.Percy's patience had worn thin, and she saw an opportunity to finally unravel the tangled web Rita had woven. As Noah reluctantly left to fetch the food, Percy leaned in closer to Rita, her voice a low and dangerous whisper."Your little games won't work anymore, Rita," Percy hissed, her eyes piercing into hers. "I know your true intentions, and I won't let you manipulate Noah any longer."Rita's façade crumbled, her eyes darting around as if searching for an escape. She was cornered, and Percy knew it."You can't prove anything," Rita stammered, her voice shaky.Percy's lips curled into a sardonic smile. "Oh, but I can. You underestimated me, Rita. I've been gathering evidence of your deceit for quite some time now."Rita's defiance wavere

    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? You two decided that locking me up was the solution? That destroying Jaden would somehow fix everything?"Noah's gaze softened, but his grip on his emotions remained t

The sterile hospital room seemed to close in on them, its cold white walls reflecting the emotional turmoil that swirled within.

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. We should have it soon."As they waited, Jaden's gaze drifted to a

    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. I can't just walk away from Jaden when he needs me the most."Percy's brow furrowed. "Rita, I understand your loyalty, but we're talking about saving everything he's worked for.
