He Divorced Me; Oh well! He's Gonna Regret It Unraveling the Truth
Later that night, Dwight made his way to the jail hospital where Mandy was being held, she had fake fainting, so she could be in a more comfortable space. The cold, sterile environment did little to ease the tension that hung between them as he walked into her room. Mandy looked up from her bed, her eyes narrowing as Dwight approached. “I've been waiting all day!” Dwight smirked, pulling up a chair beside her. “I’ve been working behind the scenes, making sure everything’s falling into place. You could say I deserve a little applause.” Mandy raised an eyebrow, a slight smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. “You’re serious?” “I’m always serious,” Dwight replied, leaning back in his chair. “I’ve made sure Cain’s in the clear, and you won’t have anything to worry about either. Everything’s been handled.” Mandy let out a smile, extending her hand toward him. Dwight met it with a firm grip, and they gave each other a victorious high-five. **** The dim, sterile light in the
He Divorced Me; Oh well! He's Gonna Regret It The Final Pieces
The interrogation room was cold and sterile, just like the memories that haunted Ramsey Wendel. He sat across from Cooper Wayne, the lead detective on Bella’s murder case. Ramsey’s eyes were hollow, his face pale, and his entire posture sagged as if the weight of the world rested on his shoulders. He hadn’t been himself since Bella’s death. He was lost in the void, and the pain lingered like a wound that refused to heal. Wayne, observed him carefully. The silence in the room was thick, but Wayne was patient, knowing that Ramsey would eventually start talking. “Mr. Wendel, we’ve invited you here today to clarify some things about the recent events,” Wayne began in his calm, calculated voice. “Inspector Ramirez has gathered some valuable information, but we need your side of the story. Take your time, and start from the beginning.” Ramsey exhaled slowly, his eyes fixating on the table as memories flooded back. His voice, when it came, was low and tired. “It all started long before th

Cain lounged in his apartment, sprawled on his worn-out leather couch, eyes fixed on the television as the sound of some mindless show filled the air. The room was dimly lit, a faint glow from the streetlights outside casting long shadows on the walls. His mind drifted between thoughts, but one thing was certain—he didn’t feel threatened. After all, he had played the game well enough, or so he thought. Suddenly, a loud knock echoed through his apartment. Cain sat up, startled, his heart skipping a beat. Another knock, this time louder and more forceful. “Cain Bryant! This is the police! Open up!” a commanding voice shouted from the other side of the door. Cain’s breath hitched as panic surged through him. He stood frozen for a moment, his mind racing. How did they find him? What did they want? Before he could react, the door was kicked open with a crash, and three officers stormed into the apartment, guns drawn and flashlights cutting through the darkness. “Hands up where we
He Divorced Me; Oh well! He's Gonna Regret It Preparing For Trial
Mandy sat on the hard, cold bench of the holding cell, her hands resting on her knees, staring at the pale walls. The chill of the cement floor seeped through her shoes, and the dim light flickered above her, casting eerie shadows. Her mind raced, unable to rest for even a moment. She thought about the trial, the accusations, and how everything had spiraled so fast out of control. How had she ended up here, from being the wife of a billionaire to a woman awaiting trial for a murder she hadn’t committed?... The sound of keys jangling pulled her out of her thoughts. Inspector Ramirez approached the cell, his stern face revealing no emotion. He stopped in front of her, clipboard in hand. “Mandy,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “Your hearing is in three days. You should contact your lawyer.” Mandy looked up, her eyes tired but defiant. “I don’t need you to remind me,” she replied coolly. “I’m well aware of what’s coming.” Ramirez gave a curt nod, tapping the clipboard with his

Ramsey, paced around his apartment, the silence amplifying his thoughts. His mind was a whirlwind of confusion and lingering emotions. He had to figure out how his stolen phone ended up on his couch, lifeless and powerless. The absence of any power source left him in the dark, both literally and metaphorically. “What do you think happened?” Ramsey asked, gesturing at the phone as if it might answer. Davis shrugged, still trying to process it. “Maybe someone just wanted to mess with you. Or maybe… maybe it’s all connected somehow?” “Connected? How?” Ramsey frowned, not buying into any conspiracy theories. “All I know is that it vanished, and now it’s back here with no explanation.” As they moved deeper into the apartment, Ramsey's eyes fell on his bedroom door. He hesitated, feeling a bit insecure—incase the house was haunted. When he opened the door, the sight before him struck a chord. Bella’s clothes were strewn across the floor, tossed in haste as if she had been searching
He Divorced Me; Oh well! He's Gonna Regret It The Revelation
Ramsey handed the diary over to Davis, to see for himself. Davis eyes glued to the pages of the small, leather-bound diary in his hands. Bella’s words spilled across the pages, a haunting confession that sent chills down his spine. He read aloud, his voice shaky as he reached the most devastating part: "How can I tell Ramsey that the child Mandy is carrying belongs to him, not Dwight. My sister, never cheated on him during their marriage, she never did. My greatest fear is If Ramsey finds out that Mandy’s baby is his, will he leave me for her, or will he still love me like he does?… I can’t lose him." Davis blinked in disbelief, his hands trembling as he held the diary. He wasn’t sure if it was the cold truth in Bella’s words or the sheer weight of the secret that made his breath hitch. Glancing up at Ramsey, he saw the color had drained from his friend’s face. Tears streamed freely down Ramsey's cheeks, his eyes distant and unfocused as he struggled to comprehend the revelation.
He Divorced Me; Oh well! He's Gonna Regret It The Trial Begins
The courtroom was an echo chamber of silent tension, every breath held, every eye focused on the figures entering through the large double doors. It was the day everyone had been waiting for—the day the trial against Mandy Mendez and Cain Bryant began. The atmosphere was thick with suspense as the room filled with an audience of family, enemies, and onlookers. Gerald and Uncle Mark stood solemnly near Grandpa Benson, their presence a reminder of the heavy weight this trial carried for the Norton family. Rachel, Elsa and Alex, stoic and unreadable, sat beside them. Meanwhile, Ramsey and Davis sat together on the opposite side, Ramsey’s sharp eyes never leaving the courtroom entrance as though waiting for something, or someone, to break. His jaw clenched tightly, anger simmering beneath the surface. Davis sat quietly beside him, ever the observer, his fingers tapping rhythmically on his knee. The heavy doors creaked open once again, and the police entered, escorting Mandy and Cain to
He Divorced Me; Oh well! He's Gonna Regret It Tempered Witness
District Attorney Cooper Wayne, approached the witness stand. His face, typically composed and brimming with confidence, now showed a flicker of doubt. Something had gone wrong—terribly wrong—with his star witness, Pamela. He turned toward her, his expression sharpening as he addressed the court. “Ms. Pamela, you’ve stated that Mrs. Mandy Mendez hired your boyfriend, Cain Bryant, to murder Bella Norton as an act of revenge. Can you explain, in detail, what happened?” The question hung in the air like a thick cloud of smoke, suffocating the tension in the room. Pamela stood at the witness stand, her hands trembling slightly, but her voice came out clear and firm. “No. That never happened,” she said, her words cutting through the silence like a blade. The entire courtroom froze. “I’ve known Mrs. Mandy for a long time, and she would never plot to kill anyone. And my boyfriend Cain... he’s not a murderer or an assassin.” A collective gasp swept through the room. All eyes shot to Coop

The dining room was filled with an unspoken heaviness as Rachel, Elsa, and Uncle Mark gathered for lunch at the Norton's Mansion. Uncle Mark, leaning back thoughtfully, looked at each of his daughters with pride and empathy. Breaking the silence, he gently asked, “What’s the way forward, girls? Where do you see yourselves, now, after everything?” Elsa spoke up first, her tone determined yet reflective. “I’ve always dreamed of becoming a lawyer,” she began. “But I’ve seen what it takes to make a real name as one… the compromises, the shortcuts. I can’t become someone like Stefano McReynolds. Modeling, on the other hand,” she continued, a flicker of newfound confidence brightening her face, “it feels natural. I’ve realized it’s something I’m genuinely good at, and I want to give it everything I’ve got.” Uncle Mark smiled, his eyes warm with approval. “Elsa, whatever path you choose, know I’m standing behind you. Follow your heart, and the rest will fall into place.” Elsa’s cheeks

Dwight was just about to leave Mandy’s rehab ward when he found the doctor waiting at the entrance. He quickly stepped aside to speak with him, concern clouding his face. “Mandy’s recovery is going well, doctor,” he began quietly. “But she’s having episodes of memory loss. She can’t remember certain events… especially losing our child. What do we do now?” The doctor raised an eyebrow, a thoughtful look crossing his face. “Does she remember having a baby at all?” “Yes,” Dwight admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. “But she believes the baby is still in the incubator. I… I told her that, hoping it would ease her mind.” The doctor nodded, a plan forming in his mind. “In that case, there might be a way to help her continue healing,” he said carefully. “If she can’t recall losing the baby, then… adopt a newborn. Present it to her as her own child.” Dwight stared at the doctor in shock, the idea hitting him like a wave. “You mean… find a child and pretend it’s hers?” “Yes,” the doc
He Divorced Me; Oh well! He's Gonna Regret It The Befitting Verdict
The atmosphere in the courtroom was thick with tension as Serena stood before the jury, her once-proud demeanor shattered. Today was her hearing, and she faced charges for the murder of little Bella, a robbery, and the ruthless crime she had framed Peter Allison for. Serena shifted uncomfortably, her hands vibrating as the judge prepared to read the verdict. The foreperson of the jury rose, casting a sharp glance in Serena’s direction before delivering the final judgment. “The jury has found you guilty of first degree murder. I hereby sentence you to twenty five hundred consecutive life sentences plus a thousand years.”She turned to face Serena, her face beet red with contempt like there was more of a personal grudge between them than a federal case. "Once you pass away, you will receive an attempted escape charge with an additional two hundred years added to your sentence which you will begin serving in the afterlife once you get hell." Her eyes were fierce and full of resentment
He Divorced Me; Oh well! He's Gonna Regret It A Devil’s Farewell
Dwight picked a lighter from the kitchen and headed back to the living room.The flames from the lighter flickered in the dimly lit room as he approached Ramsey, who lay slumped and bound in the chair. Without a hint of hesitation, Dwight flicked the lighter, setting Ramsey’s hair alight in an instant. The fire crackled to life, devouring the strands and singeing his scalp, sending smoke spiraling into the air. Ramsey screamed, his voice hoarse, begging, pleading for Dwight to end it all. As the fire died, leaving Ramsey’s head charred and his spirit all but shattered, he let out a ragged sob. His skin, bruised and torn, showed a ghostly paleness beneath the streaks of blood. He could feel his strength slipping away, the life draining from him with each passing second. Desperate, he attempted to bite his tongue in a last effort to escape the torment, but his body betrayed him; his jaw trembled, teeth chattering too weakly to do any real harm. For a long moment, Dwight just stood th

Ramsey’s body shook, his tone barely concealing the fear behind his words as he looked up at Dwight, shackled and bound. He swallowed hard, watching Dwight rummage through the backpack filled with a disturbing array of tools, each promising a unique kind of agony. “What do you want?” Ramsey asked, forcing a calmness into his tone that belied the terror swirling inside him. Dwight chuckled darkly, shaking his head. “What do I want? really? Ramsey, you seem to have cheated the face death so often that you now think you're unkillable. Am I right?” He tilted his head, a sinister glint in his eyes. Ramsey attempted to use psychology to save himself. “I know you, Dwight Mendez,” he said, his voice feigning familiarity. “You’re not like me. You’re a good man, a better man. You’re not capable of killing anyone.” Dwight laughed, but it wasn’t the laugh of a man who found amusement. It was cold, devoid of warmth, and filled with pain. His gaze flickered to Hannah’s lifeless body sprawle
He Divorced Me; Oh well! He's Gonna Regret It Down The Bloody Lane
Dwight pulled into the driveway of his mansion, his mind set, heart hardened. This night, there was only one objective: justice for Mandy, for Bella, for everything Serena, Hannah, and Ramsey had taken from him. He strode inside, up the grand staircase, and into his private study. With quick precision, he unlocked his safe, pulling out a small, polished handgun. As he tucked it into his coat, his thoughts were interrupted by a quiet voice. “Sir,” one of the maids approached, her face filled with worry. “We’ve been searching for Clara for days. She’s disappeared without a word. We think…we think maybe she ran away with Hannah.” Dwight’s expression didn’t change; he simply gave a curt nod. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll find her.” The maid looked on, unsure, but Dwight had already turned, a cold resolve in his eyes. Tonight, he would tie up all loose ends. As he drove, Dwight made a stop at a small, dimly lit store, where he gathered an arsenal of tools designed to inflict slow, prec
He Divorced Me; Oh well! He's Gonna Regret It Shattered Hearts and Silent Resolve
The hospital room was dimly lit, quiet except for the steady hum of machines. Bella had been taken to the morgue, her tiny body lying cold and alone, while Mandy lay unconscious, her face pale and sunken, a single bandage wrapped around her head where doctors had inserted the tubes needed for her life-saving surgery. Dwight paced the hallway outside, his hands clenched, jaw tight. The doctor’s words echoed in his mind, each one like a hammer blow. Traumatic brain swelling. Ventriculostomy. Critical condition. He’d paid for the surgery without hesitation, willing to give anything, everything he had, to keep Mandy alive. But his heart ached with the weight of sorrow, an emptiness that seemed to stretch into every corner of his being. Finally, after endless hours, a nurse stepped out, her eyes soft with sympathy. “Mr. Mendez, Mandy’s surgery went well. She’s resting, but…” She paused, hesitant, before continuing gently, “Her condition is very fragile. You need to be prepared for when
He Divorced Me; Oh well! He's Gonna Regret It Broken Ties and Bitter Ends
With all the strength left in her bones, Mandy shouted “Bellaaaaaaaaaaaa!” She got up, trying to reach out to carry her baby, but the scene was too gory, the image of her scrambled daughter on the floor was too horrific. She fell backward, her body slumping to the ground before Dwight could reach her. Her head struck the pavement with a sickening thud, and she lay motionless, her face pale, eyes closed, as if the life had drained out of her in that single, heart-wrenching moment. “Mandy! No, please, Mandy…” Dwight’s voice was choked, his hands trembling as he knelt beside her, gently shaking her shoulders, begging her to open her eyes. His vision blurred with tears as he pleaded. But she didn’t respond, her stillness heavy with finality. Nearby, Ramsey was frozen, his eyes locked on the lifeless form of his daughter. It was as if his mind couldn’t process the horror before him, his body rooted in shock, consciousness slipping. His face was empty, expression hollow, every inch of h
He Divorced Me; Oh well! He's Gonna Regret It A Heart wrenching Fall
After studying their faces, Serena let out a cold blooded laughter that showed mockery. Mandy, Dwight, Ramsey, Hannah—all stood frozen, watching her every move. Davis, desperate to put an end to this, bolted down the stairs from his balcony, reaching out to grab her. But before he could touch her, Serena twisted away, her scream cutting through the tense air. “Back off, Davis!” she snarled, brandishing the knife to Bella’s tiny neck. The crowd held their breath, their horror clear as Serena’s grip tightened on the little girl. “Davis, Let her do what she wants,” Ramsey urged, his voice shaking, "Please don’t make her angry, my Bella...” Serena’s lips curled into a satisfied sneer, feeling the control she held over them. Without loosening her hold on Bella, she began to back up the stairs, her eyes locked on everyone below. “I’m going back to Davis’s place,” she declared, her voice sharp with threat. “I'm going to pick up the Mendez company papers . I’ll take them with me—or th
