He Divorced Me; Oh well! He's Gonna Regret It Payback's a Gamble
Mandy stepped out of Ramsey’s Casino, the glimmering lights reflecting off her cool expression. She had no business lingering there, no reason to stay and entertain the gnawing feeling that had crept up on her. Shaking her head, Mandy shoved those thoughts away. She had better things to do rather than ponder on what ever was going on in that casino. Full of wrath and determination, she decided to deal with Ramsey. She hopped into her car and sped off to meet Davis. Davis was at his usual drinking spot. He sat in the corner, casually sipping a beer, looking as calm and composed as ever. Mandy slid into the booth across from him, her eyes sparkling with a vengeful fire. "I need something done." Davis raised an eyebrow, taking another leisurely sip before responding. "Mandy, you’re starting to scare me with all these mischievous looks and tone of yours. What do you need this time?" "Ramsey," she said bluntly. "I want him waylaid. Rough him up a bit. Let him feel what it mea

Mandy picked up her phone and reached out for her ally—Davis. He was the only one person that could help her get answers. She dialed his number and Davis answered on the first ring, his voice casual as always. “What’s up, Mandy? Got more trouble for me?” “I need you to find out how Ramsey was able to fund his casino. Find out every detail,” Mandy said without hesitation. “I’ve got a feeling his father is involved, but I need proof.” Davis chuckled lightly. “Ah, you want me to snoop around a bit. Got it. Consider it done.” *** That evening, Davis strolled into Ramsey’s Casino, blending in with the crowd. He looked like just another customer, dressed in jeans and a button-down shirt, with a casual swagger that didn’t draw any unwanted attention. He moved smoothly through the throngs of gamblers, playing a few rounds at the blackjack table before heading toward the restroom, making sure no one was watching. Once inside, Davis leaned against the wall, pretending to be on his p

Bella sat on the couch, scrolling through her phone when her ringtone blared, startling her. She glanced at the screen and saw it was the bank. Her heart raced, and she picked up hesitantly. “Hello, Miss Norton,” the bank manager’s voice was firm. “This is Mr. Carlton, your bank manager. I’m calling regarding the loan on Ramsey’s mansion.” Bella’s throat tightened. She had been dreading this call. “Yes, Mr. Carlton. What’s going on?” “I’m afraid the bank is moving forward with claiming the property. You and Mr. Wendel have three days to vacate,” he said, leaving no room for negotiation. Bella’s stomach dropped. “Three days? That’s impossible! Our loan is not due yet. What is going on?” Mr. Carlton cut her off. “The deadline has been reconsidered mam'. There’s no more time, Miss Norton. If the payment isn’t made in three days, we’ll have no choice but to repossess the property.” “Please, Mr. Carlton, we’re doing everything we can,” Bella pleaded, her voice cracking with des

Ramsey paced back and forth in the dimly lit casino office. Bella sat on the edge of the desk, her arms crossed, looking just as frustrated. "We can't keep letting Mandy run all over us," Ramsey muttered, running a hand through his hair. "She's ruining everything. We need to strike back, hit her where it hurts." Bella agreed, her eyes filled with determination. “I’m sick of her playing God with our lives. We need to find a way to make her pay.” Just then, Bella’s phone rang, interrupting their conversation. She glanced at the screen and saw it was the caretaker of her apartment building. Dread filled her chest as she answered. “Hello?” The caretaker’s voice was gruff. “Miss Norton, I’m calling to let you know you need to vacate your apartment immediately. We will refund your remaining two months' rent.” Bella’s jaw dropped. “What? You can’t just throw us out! We have a lease—” “The lease doesn’t matter,” the caretaker cut in. “You have until the end of today to clear out

Mandy stepped out of the hospital, her mind still reeling on Dwight's last statement— While Dwight stayed back and continue his pointless chatter with the doctors. Mandy felt She had better things to do than waste her time with a man whose only talent seemed to be talking her out of her goals. She hailed a cab, sinking into the back seat as the city lights blurred past. As much as Dwight’s absence stung a little—given he was her supposed husband—the urge to strike back against Ramsey and his entire family was far stronger. Her phone buzzed, and she immediately dialed Davis, her one and only partner in crime. His voice came through, steady and reliable as always. “Davis, I need you to dig up everything you can on Ramsey’s father,” Mandy said, keeping her voice low. “I want to know who he is, what he does, and if there’s anything buried that can help us.” “Understood, Mandy,” Davis replied. “I’ll get right on it.” Davis wasted no time. He immediately set his spies on the cas

Ramsey fell hitting his knees to the floor, he sat on his heels—lifeless, his heart thudding like a drum.He dialed the number again holding the phone tightly to his ear, desperately hoping for a lifeline. The officer's voice on the other end was stern and unyielding. “Can’t I access my father’s wealth? Just enough to bail him out?” Ramsey asked, trying to keep his voice steady. The silence that followed was thick with tension, and Ramsey held his breath, waiting for an answer. “No, Mr. Wendel,” the officer said flatly. “Your father’s assets have been frozen and seized by the government. They’re untouchable.” Ramsey’s heart sank. Every door seemed to be shutting in his face. He leaned back to the wall of his casino, rubbing his forehead in frustration. As the call ended, he felt the crushing weight of his situation. His father’s sins were now his burden to bear. Bella watched him, her curiosity rising. She could sense Ramsey’s turmoil but had no idea of the depth of his pain.

"Mandy is pregnant for Dwight. I knew she was cheating on me all the while, Bella. She's a Sneaky snake." Ramsey snapped. Bella furrowed her eyebrows, stunned at Ramsey’s reply. The whole time, she thought Ramsey knew about the baby and still denied it, but reverse is the case. Ramsey doesn't know he is the father of Mandy's child. But anyways! Bella wasn't interested in revealing that to Ramsey. So instead, she shifted the conversation in the direction that mattered most to them both. “Forget the baby, then. We need to break her down. Mandy’s getting too bold, and if we let her continue, she’ll destroy everything. We have to attack the source of her power.” Ramsey nodded slowly, catching on to Bella’s line of thinking. “You mean Dwight?” “Yes, Dwight,” Bella confirmed, a wicked smile curling on her lips. “He’s her rock. If we break him, Mandy falls apart. We attack the source.”"So we turn him against her yeah? No mar! I'm good at that." Ramsey said a glow on his face. "Mandy! M

Dwight paced his luxurious room, his fingers drumming on the armrest of the couch as he glanced at his phone. It rang sharply, breaking the tense silence, and Dwight hurried to answer. Bella’s name flashed on the screen, and he quickly swiped to pick up. "Hey, Bella," Dwight said, trying to keep his voice calm. "What happened? You didn’t show up at the casino. I thought we had a meeting scheduled." Bella’s faked her voice to be soft but strained, as if she had been crying. “I’m sorry, Dwight. I had to leave for something urgent. I couldn’t stay.” Dwight frowned, already losing patience. “So, what’s going on? Just say whatever plan you have over the phone. It’s convenient too.” Bella hesitated for a moment, then sighed heavily. “The only way we can tame Mandy is for you to break up with her for a while.” Dwight’s was thrown off guard by her suggestion. “What? Bella, I can’t divorce Mandy. That’s going too far, I still love her irrespective of her insanity. Isn't there another

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

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

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

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
