Aviva POV

“Dead? But how? What happened?” I stammered in a low tone.

“We’re not sure, ma’am. The coroner’s report will tell us more.” The officer paused, “We understand this must be a difficult time for you and your family. Would you like us to send someone to your house?

“ Yes”, I agreed to the officer’s offer, hanging up the phone with trembling hands.

Mom was watching me,“What is it, Aviva? What’s wrong?”

I went speechless but I had to say them. “It’s Dad, Mom. He’s gone. The police…they said he was found dead.”

Mom froze, her hand flying to her mouth in shock. She shook her head moving backwards and was about to fall to the ground and I quickly held her. Mom let out a loud cry, unable to control herself as she shakes vigorously with tears.

“Mom!” I cried, But my words fell on deaf ears, as she screamed, crying her eyes out.

" Where is he right now, I want to see him.”

“ They will be here soon!"

" who?"

" the police" I added, patting mom on her back as she cried her eyes out.

It was a risky plan, and part of me worried about the consequences if we got caught. But the alternative of failing to meet Bianca’s impossible deadline was even worse.

Bianca took her seat at the head of the table.“Aviva Rogers,” she said, her voice clear and authoritative. “You stand accused of falsifying company records and conspiring with other employees to undermine the authority of your superiors. How do you plead?”I opened my mouth to protest, but the words died on my lips. I knew it was useless. Bianca had made up her mind.“We have compiled a significant amount of evidence,” one of the disciplinary committee interjected, “But we’re willing to offer you a deal. If you confess, we’ll let you leave with a slightly more favorable recommendation.”I glared at him, my hands balled into fists under the table. “I didn’t do anything wrong,” I replied instead of pleading, “I refuse to confess to crimes I didn’t commit. I was set up!”The committee members exchanged glances, “Very well,” Bianca smirked,“We will proceed
