The next day they all stand around Mrs Anderson bed. Today was her last day. She had a few minutes before she died. In the hospital room, the atmosphere is heavy with a mix of sorrow and love. Madeline stands beside Daniel, offering a supportive hand on his shoulder. Mrs. Anderson, weak but remarkably composed, looks at each one of them with gratitude in her eyes. "Thank you all for being here," she says, her voice soft but filled with sincerity. "You've brought comfort to my final moments." Mrs. Anderson turns her attention to Daniel, her son. "Daniel, my dear, I am so proud of the person you've become. Promise me you'll keep living, exploring, and finding joy." Tears fill Daniel's eyes as he nods, holding back his emotions. Mrs. Anderson addresses everyone, "Life is a beautiful journey, and I want you all to embrace it even when I'm gone. Daniel, you carry my love in your heart always." The room falls into a poignant silence as they cherish these last moments together. As her time

    Later that afternoon, Jake and Madeline meet at their favorite coffee shop. The atmosphere is a mix of tension and anticipation as they sit across from each other. Jake takes a sip of his coffee, breaking the silence, "I've been doing some thinking, Maddy." Madeline, looking at him with curiosity, nods for him to continue. Jake takes a deep breath, "I understand that you wanted to help Daniel. And I trust you. But it hurt to see you prioritizing him over us." Madeline, empathetic to Jake's feelings, reaches across the table and places her hand on his, "Jake, I'm sorry if it seemed that way. My intention was never to prioritize him over us. I just felt a responsibility to be there for him during a tough time." Jake sighs, "I get that now. And I appreciate that you're back. I missed you." Madeline smiles, "I missed you too, Jake. And I honestly hope there no more surprises like that."As days pass, Madeline finds a balance between supporting Daniel and maintaining her connect

    Marie's eyes well up with tears as she recounts the painful chapter of her life. She pauses, taking a moment to collect herself before continuing with her heartbreaking tale. "It was supposed to be a happy occasion when Ashton proposed," she begins, her voice trembling. "But then he insisted we go to his parents, and I foolishly believed they would be as happy as we were. Instead, they shattered everything." The room falls into an uneasy silence as the weight of Ashton's parents betrayal sinks in. After a deep breath, Marie continues, "His parents told us that I wasn't suitable for Ashton. They needed him to marry into another wealthy family, a business partner's daughter, to secure their position and make more money. It was like my worth was reduced to a business transaction." Madeline, holding back tears, wraps an arm around Marie, offering silent support. Stephanie, her voice laced with anger, remarks, "That's despicable.

Sensing the gravity of the moment, she told Stephanie and Amanda, "I need to talk to Jake about this. We can't rush into things without a solid plan, and honestly, I just need someone to talk to right now." The worry lines on her forehead deepened as she considered the risks and implications. Stephanie put a comforting hand on Madeline's arm, "You're doing the right thing, Madeline. Just be careful, okay?" Amanda nodded in agreement, concern etched across her face. Heading to Jake's house, Madeline's thoughts raced, and when Jake opened the door with a bright smile, she felt a mix of relief and anxiety. "Hey," Jake greeted her, pulling her into a hug. His warmth momentarily eased her tension, but she quickly broke away, her expression serious. "Jake, we've got a problem," Madeline began, her voice tense. She explained Marie's situation and the risky plan they were considering.

    Daniel, standing in the grocery store line, flips through his phone absentmindedly, battling the boredom that has settled since he dropped out of school. His mind wanders to the desire to be back in school, engaged in activities that stimulate both his intellect and energy. "This grocery shopping thing is killing me," he mutters to himself, glancing around the store. He was currently waiting in line to pay for the groceries he got but the wait had been long because one customer kept complaining that the machine overcharge him and the staff were trying to calm him down. His phone rings, interrupting his thoughts, and he sees Madeline's name on the screen. Answering, he hears her ask about his whereabouts. "Hey, Maddy, I'm at the grocery store. What's up?" Daniel responds, attempting to sound casual. Madeline, her voice a mix of nonchalance and curiosity, inquires about his location. Daniel, puzzled, asks, "Why the sudden interest? Are you planning a surprise visit or something?" Made

    Their plan was made but they had forgotten one important detail. Jake leans back, a mischievous glint in his eyes, as he points out the flaw in their initial plan. "Listen, if you go swiping the necklace from the house, they're going to blame our dear friend Daniel here, just because he happened to be in the vicinity. We need a cleaner approach." Daniel, still a bit skeptical about the whole situation, rolls his eyes again, saying, "Glad someone is thinking about me, but stealing a necklace is still stealing, no matter where it happens." Madeline shoots Daniel an apologetic glance before turning her attention back to Jake. "So, what's your brilliant alternative, Jake? We can't afford any more complications." Jake smirks, "I've got it all figured out. We're going to pull off the heist of the century right under everyone's noses – at the event your parents are attending." Daniel, raising an eyebrow, asks, "You mean we're stealing it from the event? In public? Are you out of your mind?"

    The tension in the room is palpable as Tony stands in disagrees with Daniels plans. Tony shakes his head, "You're gambling with everything we built. The gang is not just a means to an end; it's family. Don't forget that."Tony's frustration deepens . "You think leaving the gang is the solution? Daniel, this gang is more than just a way out for us. It's a brotherhood, a family. Remember when you first walked through those doors? Henry doubted you, but I saw potential. I stood up for you, vouched for you, because I believed in the leader I saw in you. We swore an oath to the gang, Daniel, to prioritize the gang before anything else." Daniel clenches his jaw, the weight of Tony's words sinking in. "Tony, Madeline is the key to a life beyond all this. We won't need the gang if we have her and the wealth she brings. Can't you see the bigger picture?" Tony's eyes reflect hurt and disappointment. "You're willing to sacrifice everything we stand for just for your personal desires. This gang is

    Madeline, despite the escalating horror, keeps her gaze steady, refusing to break. Daniel's eyes narrow, his frustration growing. He leans in, his voice a dangerous whisper, "I'll keep going until you decide to talk. What happened?" Madeline grits her teeth but doesn't relent. Sarah, in pain and fear, pleads with Madeline to tell Daniel whatever he wants to know. Madeline finally breaks her silence ."Fine, stop!, I'll talk." Madeline pleads with Daniel to stop the cruelty towards Sarah. "Please, Daniel, she's hurt enough. I'll tell you everything," she implores as tears start streaming down her face. Daniel, relentless, insists, "Talk, and maybe I'll consider stopping." her voice shaky but defiant. "We were trying to escape. We had a plan to contact someone who could help us get out of here."

    In Daniel's office, a tense atmosphere filled the room as he mulled over the mysterious turn of events. "Sarah's sudden illness is too coincidental. Madeline never mentioned anything about her having a condition," he pondered aloud, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk. Determined to unravel the potential deception, he summoned both the guard and the doctor into his office. The guard entered, standing at attention. "What did you observe when Sarah fell ill?" Daniel questioned. The guard, visibly uneasy, stammered, "I, uh, didn't really pay much attention, sir. I was focused on getting help for her." Daniel's sharp gaze scrutinized the guard's response, but he dismissed him and turned to the doctor. The doctor, who seemed less perturbed by the situation, remarked, "Honestly, it seemed quite routine down there. As if they were accustomed to such occurrences." Daniel's brows furrowed in suspicion. "Accustomed? That doesn't make sense. Something's not adding up," he muttered to hi

    Daniel sat back in his chair, a sigh escaping his lips, he found himself in a moment of contemplation. Tony, his trusted friend, had always been a loyal companion in the gang, never questioning Daniel's authority or plans. The sudden resistance from Tony left Daniel questioning his decisions. Staring at the dimly lit room, Daniel wondered if he had truly thought through the entirety of his plan or if his actions were driven more by emotion than rationale. He ran a hand through his hair, wrestling with the internal conflict of doubt. "Am I doing the right thing?" Daniel murmured to himself, the weight of uncertainty hanging in the air. He shook his head as if trying to dispel the doubt. The plan had already been set in motion, and there was no turning back now. He had invested too much to back down. As he contemplated the decisions ahead, Daniel recognized the necessity of finishing what he started. The consequences of what would happen if he failed, and he couldn't afford to let doubt

    In the dimly lit prison, Stephanie, her curiosity piqued, asked, "So, what's Plan B, Jake?" Jake, explained, "Plan B is contacting Justin. He'll come with friends and get us out of here." Relief washed over the group. "But there's one problem." Jake adds and Madeline sighed, " what is the problem then?" Jake, revealed, "The problem is we need a way to contact Justin." Marie, voicing the collective frustration, groaned, "They took our phones when we came into the prison." So, how do we contact Justin without our phones?" Jake, thinking on his feet, replied, "We just need to get a phone without anyone realizing." Madeline, questioned, "How do you propose we do that? They're watching us closely." Jake, undeterred, stated, "We wait for a guard to come down here. Surely, one of them will have a phone on them. We can try to get the phone, send the message to Justin, and get it back to the guard " Marie, frustrated, sighed, "And how do we get a guard down here? Everything is getting more co

    Madeline stares at Daniel still not able to grasp the fact that he betrayed her. She listens as he continues talking. Seated back in his chair, Daniel continued his revelation, a twisted pride in his words. "I got one of my guys to suggest selling drugs to Ashton. Predictably, he bought the idea. Little did he know, my guys were watching him. When he sold the drugs, they waited for the right moment, stole the money, leaving Ashton in a bind." Madeline, disbelief etched on her face, asked, "You set up Ashton to get him involved in drugs, knowing he'd do anything to protect Marie?" Daniel nodded, "I Ashton to owe a debt because I knew he'd want to protect Marie so he'd definitely send her out of the country and if their romance was as strong as everyone said it was she'd definitely want to help him and who better than her own twin sister to help her." Madeline, shaking her head in disbelief, muttered, "What happened to the sweet Daniel I used to know? How did you become this person?" D

    The guards led to others out the door forcefully. Daniel gestures to Madeline telling her "take a seat." Madeline, standing defiantly, refused Daniel's command to take a seat. He sighed and decided to continue his story, as if seeking understanding from the person who once meant the world to him. "It was asking for help that brought me into this world," Daniel confessed, a somber tone in his voice. Madeline, though visibly hurt and confused, remained silent, urging him to continue. Daniel delved into his past, revealing a stark contrast to the life Madeline knew. "My mother and I weren't always rich. Her parents were so poor that they had to give her to her uncle, who was living alone, hoping he could provide a better life for her." Madeline, her eyes widening with a mix of surprise and sympathy, finally spoke, "I had no idea, Daniel. Why didn't you tell me all this before?" Daniel, with a bitter smile, replied, "Because I knew you wouldn't understand. Your perfect world and my strugg

    The tension in the room escalated, the group grappling with betrayal and shattered trust. Madeline, her voice trembling, demanded answers from Daniel. "What is Marie talking about, Daniel? Why are you doing this?" Daniel, grinning with a sinister satisfaction, confessed, "Marie is telling the truth, Madeline. I never came back to Colombia seeking forgiveness. I came back for wealth, and you were my ticket." Madeline, bewildered, asked, "What do you mean, I'm your ticket to wealth?" Daniel, enjoying the power shift, explained, "The treatment for my mother's cancer drained our resources. I realized marrying into your family, taking over your father's business, was the only way to secure our future." Madeline, hurt and betrayed, demanded, "So, everything between us was a lie? You never loved me?" Daniel, unapologetic, admitted, "I needed you for my own gain. When I saw you with Jake, I became enraged. I was supposed to be the son-in-law, taking over the business.
