The cab pulled up to her childhood home, and she saw the excitement in her mother's eyes as she eagerly awaited her arrival. The house adorned with colorful balloons and streamers testified to her mother's love and dedication. She stepped out of the cab, her heart brimming with gratitude for the chance to celebrate the special day with the person who meant the world to her.Inside, the aroma of her favorite childhood dishes filled the air, instantly transporting her back to simpler times. They sat at the dining table, sharing stories and laughter, reminiscing about the past and dreaming about the future. It was in those moments of connection and love that she realized the true essence of happiness-the joy that came from nurturing relationships and cherishing the present.Though she had already brought her birthday cake, her mother surprised her by presenting a homemade cake adorned with flickering candles. The room filled with warmth and love as they sang the familiar birthday song, t
[Blue Fressy Bar]Masson knew this was his chance. Marcus stood up and headed towards the exit, his eyes scanning the room as he made his way through the crowd. Masson quickly followed, keeping a safe distance to avoid arousing suspicion. As Marcus stepped outside, Masson saw him glance around before entering a nearby alley. He cautiously followed him, his senses heightened with each step. The alley was dimly lit, with the sound of distant traffic echoing in the background. He watched as Marcus stopped in front of a door, hesitating for a moment before entering.Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to take a risk. He quietly approached the door and listened for any sounds from inside. Hearing nothing, he slowly turned the doorknob and slipped into the room. To his surprise, he found himself in a small, dimly lit bathroom. He wondered what Marcus would have come here to do while Ethan's driver is waiting for him outside. The sound of running water filled the air as he spotte
[Amethyst Diamond Casino]As Thomas Martin entered the casino with the two girls, whispers spread throughout the room. People knew of their criminal past and the danger they posed. The trio had recently escaped from a high-security prison, leaving law enforcement agencies baffled. Their escape had been meticulously planned, showcasing their resourcefulness and cunning. Their reputation preceded them, and it was evident that Lily and Emma were not to be underestimated. They possessed their own unique forms of danger, with Lily's physical strength and Emma's technological expertise. Together, they formed a formidable team capable of executing intricate and audacious criminal schemes. Masson sat in his seat and observed every movement of Thomas.Instead of approaching Masson, Thomas went to the Corleone and Moretti families. These two mafias, who were also business partners and founders of Delish Delight Company, found themselves entangled in a perilous drug dealing case within the confi
Luca leaned against a crate. "Emma, did you bring the 'merchandise'?"Emma smirked and looked at Lily. "Of course."Marco nodded, looking straight into Emma's eyes. "Good. We must ensure the 'collectors' receive their 'packages' without arousing suspicion.""Don't worry, Marco. Our 'couriers' are experts at delivering 'exquisite pieces' without leaving a trace," Lily smiled, shaking her head as her hair moved slightly from side to side.Emma leaned against the railing. "Marco, did you secure the 'tickets' for our 'private show'?""The 'tickets' are ready. Our 'performers' will put on a show no one will forget," Marco smiled with hard eyes.Emma laughed, her white teeth shining like the snow atop Mt. Everest. "Perfect. Let's ensure our 'audience' enjoys the 'spectacle' while we handle our 'business' discreetly.""Agreed, Emma. Our 'stage' will be set, and the 'curtain' will rise on a night they won't soon forget."[Back in the Gambling Room]Masson sat there, attempting to comprehend
The sound of his voice reverberated throughout the house, causing his mother to shoot him an angry look before returning her attention to the news, which happened to be discussing their company. Overnight, the reputation of Lopez Food Company had plummeted so drastically that it became the sole topic of conversation among news anchors.[TV News][Cut to footage of police cars outside the hotel][News Anchor]"Law enforcement officials arrived at the Luxor Lodgings Hotel earlier today, responding to a distress call from hotel staff who discovered Kaylee's lifeless body in her hotel room. The cause of death remains unknown at this time, pending the results of the ongoing investigation."[Cut to Interview: Detective][Detective Dairo Paul]"Our investigation is still in its early stages, but all evidence points towards Mr. Ethan Lopez as the prime suspect. Kaylee was last seen entering the hotel for a company meeting shortly before her death.""What are you watching this early in the mor
Blair turned off the phone, but she was still processing the news that her father, whom she hadn't seen in the past 15 years, had been admitted to the hospital. She desired to go to the hospital, but she didn't have a valid reason to leave the house. Her mind started to stress as she searched for a perfect excuse that wouldn't disturb her mother mentally, revealing that she was in contact with her father.Experiencing a mixture of emotions, she made the decision to take a moment to gather herself. She entered the living room and immediately noticed her mother sitting on the couch, her gaze fixed on a picture frame in her hands.She approached her cautiously. The photograph her mother held was one she had just seen once in her life. It was an old, faded picture, cut right down the middle. Only two people were visible in the frame - her mother and 10-year-old Blair. But the person standing between them, who was once counted as them, had been cut out.A wave of sadness washed over her as
She quickly nodded and entered Bay 1. There, she saw her father lying unconscious, his face bruised and battered. Tubes and machines surrounded him, monitoring his vital signs. The sight was both heartbreaking and infuriating."Your father had been brought in earlier this evening, found unconscious on the street behind the bar. The police had been notified, but so far, there were no leads on who could have done this to him." As she arrived, someone informed her. Upon witnessing her father in such a condition, she was unaware of the presence of anyone else besides him. She lifted her gaze and spotted him.He had a calm and composed demeanor, appearing to be in his late 50s or early 60s, similar to her father's age, with neatly combed graying hair. His face displayed signs of worry and exhaustion, with faint lines etched around his eyes. He was dressed casually, wearing a plain, dark-colored shirt and a pair of jeans. His clothing seemed slightly disheveled, indicating that he had been
Masson started taking steps prudently. He was at some distance when he noticed that the door of Thomas's car was open, and he went sitting inside Ethan's car. After that, his curiosity increased even more. Because Thomas said to him, "We're going to raise the curtains very soon."Then why did he choose to sit in his car? Reporting to him meant that Masson had to convey to Ethan whatever had happened at the casino because Thomas and Ethan wouldn't be able to meet in person. So what does that mean? He frowned as new questions began to arise in his mind one after another.It had only two meanings. Either there is something that Thomas wanted to tell Ethan directly, or Thomas has become.......suspicious......but.....when and how? Masson is perfectly disguised as Marcus. Then how did he know? And this wasn't the first time he had done it. Mimicking others was second nature to him.Masson was very cautiously walking towards their car to get a glimpse of what was going on inside. As the car
In the middle of the living room of the house, Ethan was lying unconscious and bleeding from the back of his head. “But I didn't hit him,” Masson inadvertently blurted out, “Then who hit him? Aoife? No, no, how can she do that? She was a victim herself, and she didn't even have the courage to fight against him.” Masson carefully turned Ethan over and closely examined his head wound. It was a very deep wound that was bleeding, as if someone had struck it with a heavy object. And the most surprising thing that shocked him was the angle of his wound. Looking at it, it seemed as if his hands were very expert in this work, as if he had done this many times.On the sound of a Police Siren, Masson straightened his body and stood a little far away. He could hear their shoes from inside. Some policemen gathered outside the house, while others entered. They held guns in their hands, their arms straight. These individuals walked quickly and approached the area where they were standing. "I repo
[ Present][Gabriel Jose's house][3 am, morning]“Hey get up Patricia, hurry,” she quickly rubs her eyes at the voice. “What's up, Jennifer, is he here?”“No, no, look, she has unlocked her foot. That means she's going to run away,” Jennifer replied in a hushed tone.“Who has opened it? Who has the courage to run away from this prison?” Patricia asked in surprise at her courage.“That new girl who arrived last week,” Jennifer said with a frown.“You can't escape Calista , you will never be able to escape,” Patricia said with tears in her eyes. “They'll kill you, and no one would be able to know about us, about you. How you died, where you were buried.”“Hey girl!!! Open this lock and set me free too,” Aoife said loudly and grabbed Calista's hand and pulled her. Aoife uncomfortably moved her chained leg towards her. But Calista pushed her back forcefully due to which her head hit the ground. Masson never saw Aoife in real life but he saw her on the TV and she really changed a lot just
But her mother didn't seem bothered by them. She very contentedly took Blair's hand and came to Mia's father's office while walking along that straight path. She was walking with so much confidence that no guard dared to ask her any question. “Henry Moretti, Chief Operating Officer,” she squinted her eyes and read his name before entering his office. She started talking to him very distinctly. Blair was surprised to see a fake smile on her mother's face.“Hi sir, I am Blair Anderson's mother," she held a warm smile on her face as she introduced herself. But Mr. Moretti fixed his gaze on the laptop that was open in front of him, showing no interest.“I heard about you from my daughter Blair, so I thought I'd meet,” not getting an answer, she fixed her hair with one hand and slowly started walking towards the moving chair. “Umm…. Blair has received a suspension letter from the school, so….”“One minute, Mrs. Anderson… Oops!!! My bad, I just forgot, now you are not Mrs. Anderson, but Ms.
In a panic, Ms. Elizabeth stopped as she noticed her fall suddenly. Following Blair's gaze, she checked out the glass door and noticed a restaurant wherein her father changed into sitting with Kaylee and her mother, taking part in ice cream. They all looked so happy, just like a perfect happy family.Her father, who used to feed her lovingly making her sit on his lap, was now feeding Kaylee today. This father, for whom she fought all school today, disrespected Mia's parents and finally got suspended, is sitting here shoveling ice cream into Kaylee b*tch's mouth. Blair angrily picked up a stone and hit the glass, the sound of its breaking was heard by all. Her father quickly hid Kaylee in his arms and turned his neck to look outside.“Ass****bitch!!” Blair yelled at Kaylee and angrily stormed back to her mother.“Blair,” her father called her behind, but she ignored him.“Let's go, Blair, we won't stay here for a minute now,” her mother held her hand tightly and brought her back to the
[Silverleaf Elementary School]"We'll leave you alone when our fun is over. Until then, you'll have to get used to these things," Ava said menacingly. "So just give up already." Ava was always like this and that's why everyone feared her."What's going on here?" A loud shout was heard. Ava quickly let go of Blair's hair, leaned back and started crying.Blair looked back and her class teacher, Miss Celine, was standing and staring at her. "What's going on, Blair, why did you push Mia?""She was talking bad about my father, so I got angry," Blair said, staring at her."No, Miss Celine, she is lying. Mia just said it out of sympathy, but Blair pushed her back. And when I stopped her, she grabbed my hair too," Ava cried slyly."Why are you lying, Ava, you incited them against my family, and you said my Daddy found a new playmate," Blair tried to remind her and shook her head causing her ponytail wave left to right."Why would I lie, Blair? You're lying," Ava said, and Blair angrily grabbe
[Silverleaf Elementary School]As soon as Blair entered her class, she saw Sophia who was standing in a corner with her group and a few children from her class. As Blair came, her group or let's say Sophia's gang started looking at her with hatred. Sophia was aware of what was happening in Blair's house, and I don't know how.As they saw Blair, they started talking in each other's ears. "Look, class who's here, the kid with the broken family," Sophia said loudly, and everyone started laughing.Upon hearing their words, Blair experienced another emotional jolt, yet she calmly returned to her seat and sat down. Sophia, unable to contain herself, walked over to her desk and, laughing, climbed up onto it and said sarcastically, "How does it feel to have a father who can't stay loyal? Bet you're used to it by now."Tears welled up in Blair's eyes and she looked at her while crying, "Leave me alone, Sophia. You can never understand what I am going through right now.""Actually we understand
[Summer, 2008][1: 45 am, morning]Blair's eyes opened on the sound of a glass breaking, and she sat up. Her heart was pounding, and her breathing was shallow due to the sudden awakening from sleep. She could hear loud shouting voices coming from outside the room. It took her a while to recognize those voices.Without hesitation, she quickly got up from her bed and ran outside and saw that her mother was fighting with her father about something, and her 10-year-old mind was unable to understand what was going on. Everything was fine before she went to sleep. Her father had been in the room and her mother had come to bed after feeding Blair. Although they hadn't spoken to each other for over a month, but tonight is different."Mummy I'm scared," Blair said, placing her tiny hands on her mother's worried face.For a long time, she was not usually sleeping alone, but her mother said that she was now grown up and needed to change her habit. Despite her efforts, she continued to struggle a
