Emma's unsettled stomach heaved as she sprinted towards the bathroom. The ghastly scene of Sheryl Jones' gruesome murder that had just played out before her eyes was seared into her psyche like an inescapable nightmare.

She found herself bent over the closet, vomiting until her throat burned and her chest heaved with exhaustion. Collapsing onto the tiled floor, she clenched her eyes shut, yet the disturbing image refused to dissipate.

After what felt like an interminable amount of time, Emma dragged herself back to the room, her hands trembling as she closed the video. A wave of sympathy washed over her as she realized that Tina must have seen this too. How could anyone bear to witness such terror? How could one bear to watch a video of their own sister being brutally slaughtered?

As she sat there, her heart still pounding, Emma's thoughts raced just as quickly as her pulse. How had Tina gotten her hands on this video? And what could have compelled Sheryl to capture such a chilling m

    Emma hissed, " You are bluffing", she retorted, her voice trembling despite her attempts to sound defiant.A sinister cackle reverberated through the room. "Let's see, shall we?" the voice jeered, sending a chill down Emma's spine."I think it's time to pay a visit your beloved mother? or perhaps Tina in the hospital at room 34. Oh, and let's not overlook your beloved sister who's happily engaged to Mr. Levi, the TV host. Or maybe...it's you I should visit, in your adorable pink tank top and black sweatpants, holding a phone to your ear."Emma almost stumbled backward, her thoughts spinning as the caller's words sank in. How could they know so much? She frantically scanned the room, searching for any glimpse of the entity watching her, but to no avail. She walked over to the corners and shelves, checking for an hidden camera but realized this isn't her apartment. "So, what will it be, Emma?"The phone fell from Emma's trembling grip, clattering on the ground. She pressed her back aga

    "You bitch!" Her roar, dripping with malice, left Emma stunned and off balance."You are responsible for my husband's death, aren't you?" Nina's accusatory inflection sliced through the air like a sharp blade. "I warned him not to help you, but what did he do? He made me protect you, even after he was gone!"Emma's heart raced, tears brimming in her eyes as she pleaded for understanding. "I would never betray your husband, Nina. Please, listen to me.""Shut up! Were you sleeping with him? If you were, and I find out, I will hunt you down and kill you!" Nina hurled the threat at Emma, wagging a pointed finger in her direction.A brief pause revealed the hidden anguish beneath Nina's anger as she retreated into her home. After tense moments passed, she reemerged, grasping a young child's hand. "Take her," she spat, shoving the toddler into Emma's arms. "Take her too, since she is supposed to be taken away from me, along with my husband!"The oblivious toddler continued blissfully devour

    Emma's ears reverberated, the words resounding in her psyche like a dissonant melody. Murder. Sheryl Jones and Damien. Could Nina truly be culpable for such monstrous deeds? It felt like a nightmare, but the presence of the law enforcement officers and her own brush with death, combined with Nina's desperate pleads, anchored Emma in a grim reality. "I believe you have made an error in judgement," Emma spoke, her voice quivering slightly as she attempted to appeal to the stern police officer. "Yes, she attacked me, but Damien is her husband. I refuse to believe she would attempt to take his life." The officer's glare intensified, his patience wearing thin. "You do not dictate to me. There is incriminating evidence against her, and she just tried to kill you with a knife. She will face consequences for this." As the officers began to haul Nina away, she thrashed and shrieked, her desperation palpable. "I am innocent, Emma! Please, stop them! I swear, I am innocent! Please, Emma, do s

    Lucas's grasp on the steering wheel constricted even more, his knuckles turning white. He cast a glance at Emma through the rearview mirror, his brow contorted with anxiety. "Emma, I... I'm unsure if that's the wise decision," he faltered, his words wavering. Emma's jaw tightened as she met Lucas's stare in the mirror. "She deserves a chance at a genuine family since I destroyed the one she had," she retorted, her voice sharp and straightforward. Lucas halted the car and asked her to sit in the front seat, beside him. Emma hesitated but agreed, and as soon as she settled beside him, he began to drive, about to speak before Emma dropped another bombshell. "And... I think I might be pregnant." The car swerved slightly as Lucas abruptly hit the brakes, bringing it to a sudden stop. He turned to look at Emma, his eyes wide with shock. "What?" he exclaimed. "Pregnant?" Lucas asked once again. "I'm not certain," Emma admitted, her gaze darting everywhere but at him. "I've missed two of

    Ethan's gaze met Emma's, reciprocating her smile before glancing at his wristwatch. The room fell silent as the crucial members arrived, followed suit by investors engaging in small talk with Mr. Ethan, keen on extending warm greetings. As the minutes dragged on, Emma glanced at her wristwatch to find two hours had passed, and Trevor was yet to make an appearance. She looked at Ethan, sensing the worry concealed behind his composed facade as he reached for his phone, dialing a number that she presumed was for Trevor. Finally, after three long hours, Trevor arrived, his hair disheveled and his attire slightly unkempt, offering apologies as he walked in. The disapproving stares of the board were more chastening than any reprimand. Emma couldn't help but feel satisfied with the unexpected turn of events. The displeased expressions on the board members' faces brought a grin to her lips. "You've kept us waiting for far too long. Get to the main presentation," one of the directors in

    A palpable tension enveloped the room as the board members and staff gazed in astonishment at the explicit scene unfolding before them. Mario Rodriguez, his eyes ablaze with anger, stood up from his chair. Emma sensed the dangerous gleam in his eye - the perfect trigger for her plan. "Do you stand idle as your son's bring shame upon a company I've invested so much in?" Mario's voice boomed, his Italian accent adding to the intensity of his fury. Mr. Ethan attempted to calm him down, but his efforts were futile against the mounting wave of outrage. Trevor, struggling to regain control, shook his head over and over as he fiddled with his laptop. Before anyone could intervene, Trevor's voice blasted through the speakers, oozing with passion and desire. All eyes turned back to the screen. The air crackled with tension as the realization dawned upon them - this was a defining moment, one that would change everything. "I bet my father's life that you've never had a man who could sa

    "Was it your doing" The PA of Ethan inquired vehemently, his gaze ablaze with fury as he confronted her. Emma raised her head, meeting his unwavering gaze. "what?" She asked innocently, though she was well aware of his reference. "You are aware of what I refer to, Emma. Cease pretending to be ignorant," he growled, leaning threateningly closer. Emma maintained her composure, her mind already strategizing her next move. She could not comprehend why he was always targeting her. "I have not done anything, but if you have any concerns, please feel free to discuss them with me," she replied calmly. The PA narrowed his eyes, detecting her defiance. "Mark my words, Emma. You will not get away with this," he warned, his eyes shooting sharp glares at her. Emma exhaled slowly, her facade faltering for a moment before she regained her resolve. She knew she was playing a perilous game, but she was willing to risk it all to bring Trevor down first and then his father. Her eyes glar

    In the hallway towards her office, Emma took a moment to catch her breath. A grin tugged at the corners of her mouth, the elation within her almost too much to contain. She retrieved her mobile device, her fingers quivering as she composed a message to Tina: "Exciting news - I've been appointed as the CEO!" As she entered her office, she stepped inside Mr. Ethan's workspace, the realization of what had just occurred finally sinking in. She was now the CEO. The gravity of it was both thrilling and daunting. She was aware of the risks, but she also knew she had to do this. For the truth. For justice. And ultimately, for her redemption. Emma peered out the window, the urban skyline sprawled before her. This was her moment. And she was prepared to confront whatever came next. After taking a moment to gaze outside, Emma exited the office and returned to her desk. She placed her phone on her desk and focused on the tasks she needed to complete for the day. Her last task of being a secr

    Emma clenched her hands in her lap, her knuckles white. She glanced at Lucas, who gave her a reassuring nod. "You can do this," he mouthed.After what felt like an eternity, it was time for the verdict. The judge's voice was firm, unyielding.

    Emma felt the warm trickle of blood running down the side of her face where the gun had struck her. The metallic scent filled her nostrils as she looked up at Mr. Mario. His grip on her face was ironclad, his face mere inches from hers. His breath was hot and reeked of cigarettes as he hissed, “Don’t make me kill you, Emma. Don’t tempt me.”His voice was low and menacing, and Emma could feel the vibration of his words against her skin. She knew she was probably making the worst decision of her life, but it was the only thing she could think of. With a sudden, desperate resolve, she lunged forward and sank her teeth into his nose.

    Emma slowly sat back down in a chair. She took a deep breath and opened the file. Inside, she found a set of documents. As she scanned the pages, her eyes landed on the title: "Dissolution of Betrothal Contract." Her heart pounded as she saw Morgan’s signature at the bottom.Her mind reeled. Why had Morgan changed her mind? What had prompted this sudden shift? Emma leaned back, staring at the papers, her thoughts a whirlwind of confusion and curiosity.

    His lips curled into a sneer. "I'm going to win my case tomorrow. And when I get out, Emma, I'll make sure you pay. I'll kill you, and before that, I'll have my way with you. Brutally. You'll regret everything. You should have stopped when you had the chance."Emma's smile didn't waver, but inside, a shiver ran down her spine. She steadied herself, refusing to let him see any weakness. She knew the case was too good for him to win it. "We'll see about that, Ethan Maddox. How pitiful it is, the once powerful Maddox, stuck in a jail cell." She stood up, adjusting her coat with deliberate grace.As the guards moved to take him away, Ethan's expression shifted, a malicious glint in his eye. "Watch your back, Emma. Mario is still out there, and he's planning something big."Emma paused, her heart skipping a beat, but she didn't turn around. She walked out of the room, the echo of Ethan's words trailing after her.With Mario still roaming out there, she knew everything was truly far from ov

    "Cookies or a sandwich?" Emma asked.Tina picked cookies without hesitation. Emma retrieved a pack from the pantry and placed a few on a plate, setting it on the counter next to where they would soon sit with their hot drinks.The kettle began to whistle, steam escaping from its spout as Emma poured the hot water into two waiting mugs filled with cocoa mix. The rich aroma of chocolate filled the air.They sat down at the kitchen table, the silence heavy between them as they sipped their drinks. The warmth of the hot chocolate seeped through Emma's fingers, temporarily soothing her senses.After they finished their drinks and Tina left, Emma returned to the living room. The fatigue of the day washed over her, and she settled onto the couch, her thoughts wandering to Lucas.Hours later, the sound of the front door opening roused Emma from her doze.

    The lady sighed deeply, her shoulders slumping as she collapsed onto the edge of the bed. "Maybe you weren't convincing enough," she suggested. "You should have worn the other more revealing red dress. And maybe you sounded pushy..."Her words faded into the background as Morgan's anger reached a boiling point. With a sudden, ferocious movement, she stood up and crossed the room in two quick strides. Grabbing the lady by the front of her shirt, she lifted her off the bed and slammed her against the nearby wall. The impact sent a dull thud through the room."If you want to pass blame on me for your stupid plans not working," Morgan hissed through gritted teeth, her face inches from the lady's, "you're not going to like how it ends for you."The lady's eyes widened in shock and fear. Her breath came in shallow, rapid bursts. As Morgan's grip tightened momentarily before letting go, the lady slid down the wall, her legs weak beneath her. She straightened herself slowly, smoothing out her

    Upstairs, Lucas leaned back in his leather chair, the phone pressed to his ear. Morgan's voice echoed through the line, breaking the silence."We need to see Lucas. It's urgent," Morgan's tone was urgent.Lucas frowned, his brow furrowing. "See me for what?" he asked, his voice guarded.There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Morgan replied, "About Ethan Maddox. There's been a breakthrough, and I thought you should know."Lucas's grip tightened on the phone. Ethan Maddox. He inhaled sharply."Why are you trying to help me?" Lucas's voice was low, contemplative. "It feels like there's more to this than just the case."A soft chuckle came through the line, warm and unexpectedly genuine. "Yes, Lucas," Morgan admitted, her tone unguarded. "I have my reasons. I want you to warm up to me, and if helping with this case will achieve that, then I'm willing to take the risk. I'm really sorry about yesterday, I shouldn't have done that. It's been years, and I should have allo

    Emma inhaled sharply, not expecting what she had just heard. "Does the phone contain information that could help?" She asked and the woman nodded.Emma glanced at Lucas, whose eyes were distant and unfocused, lost in thought.Lucas suddenly stood up from the worn-out couch, his expression resolute. "This is what we're going to do," he said, his voice steady. He ran a hand through his tousled hair, a sign of the stress they were under.Emma watched as he began to pace. "I'm going to call the police, and you're going to speak to them," he continued, "They'll come here and find everything exactly as it is. But this time, we'll take pictures and leak them to the public. That way, they can't cover anything up, especially with the FBI involved."
