"Good morning, Mom," Adrienne greeted."Good morning, Ma," Richard greeted Mrs. Davison as they entered the dining room."Please, sit down for breakfast," Mrs. Davison said.As the breakfast was served, they started eating."Adrienne, we didn't have much time to talk yesterday. How are you feeling now? Have you made a decision yet?" Mrs. Davison asked.Adrienne glanced at Richard and mouthed, "I told her everything," and he nodded."Sort of. We haven't discussed what to do about Michael and Linc yet," Adrienne explained."What do you mean by 'what to do with Michael and Linc'? They should be sent to jail, of course. Lifetime imprisonment if possible," Mrs. Davison stated."Lifetime imprisonment based on what? My confession alone? There's no evidence, Mom, and they'll never admit to their crime in court," Adrienne said."Richard, what do you think?" Mrs. Davison asked."Mom, please don't bug him. I know he's feeling quite uncomfortable right now," Adrienne said."Why should he? We've s

"She really betrayed me?" Adrienne gasped, her voice filled with horror as she observed Renee's entrance, clad in a sleeveless dress that unveiled red, inflamed patches on her delicate skin. The patches appeared rough and flaky, unmistakably signaling an allergic reaction or some kind of irritation. Scarlet redness and small bumps marred her once flawless cheeks.Juliette swiftly rose from her seat, offering it to Renee, who looked apprehensive, on the brink of tears."With just one glance at my lifeless skin, it becomes evident that this is the aftermath of Rie's skincare products," Renee uttered, her voice trembling with fear. "I've been faithfully using them for over a year without any issues like this.""But your skin was fine at Brian's party! This is an outright lie!" Adrienne exclaimed.Renee's eyes welled up as she began to explain her ordeal. "I recently restocked, just last week, and all of a sudden, these dreadful reactions started to surface. I had the cream tested, and

Michael lay on his bed, desperate to find some semblance of sleep. But no matter how hard he tried, an unsettling feeling gnawed at him. His tired eyes shifted to Evelyn, peacefully slumbering beside him. Finally, he couldn't bear the restlessness any longer. Rising from the bed, Michael ventured to his drawer and retrieved a sleeping pill. Only hours before, he had implored Linc for this remedy, a whispered plea for respite. It was the fourth time and the twelfth pill he was taking this evening, a reckless disregard for the consequences. None of it mattered, though, because the drugs simply weren't working.Leaving the room in a hazy daze, Michael navigated his way to the study. Discreetly tucked away behind an array of bookshelves, a hidden safe beckoned to him. Retrieving a file, he carefully opened it, poring over its contents once more. With a nod of affirmation, he murmured, "I made the right choice," before returning it to its secrecy.His unease persisted, refusing to be

Adrienne's eyes shot open, and she let out a blood-curdling scream as soon as she saw Lisa's face looming over hers. Startled and shaken, she struggled to catch her breath."I swear, you almost gave me a heart attack!" Adrienne shouted.Lisa's expression grew serious as she responded, "We don't have time to waste. We have to be somewhere, now.""I need to stretch and relax my body. And where is Richard? It's been fifteen hours since I last saw him," Adrienne insisted, growing impatient by the second."Get up, take a quick shower, and dress up, Adrienne," Lisa said, her voice tinged with authority.Adrienne's brow furrowed in annoyance as she retorted, "Since when did you start taking on Daniel's bossy tendencies?"After much dragging and resistance, Adrienne finally managed to force herself into the bathroom, settling for a casual outfit because Lisa refused to disclose their destination.As Lisa drove, Adrienne's mind drifted to the video that had been making waves on the internet.

Anabelle burst into the room, a bucket of ice-cold water clutched tightly in her hands. Without a moment's hesitation, she upended the bucket, splashing the freezing liquid onto Juliette's sprawled body on the bed. Juliette snapped out of her dream world and back into reality, her heart pounding with shock, fear, and discomfort caused by the chilling water."What the hell?!" she screeched, glaring at Anabelle.Anabelle's face contorted into a furious mask as she hollered back, her voice cracking with fury, "What are you doing with my man? Why are you sleeping with him?!""Ryan isn't yours anymore," Juliette fired back. Her eyes narrowed as she continued, "Can't you see that I'm pregnant with his child?""All I see is a pregnant woman lying naked in bed with her baby daddy's younger brother!" Anabelle shrieked, her words laced with bitterness.Juliette's eyes widened in surprise as she glanced around, her realization dawning upon her. She was indeed naked, lying next to Linc, who to
