I wandered through the aisles of the bustling shopping mall, my mind a whirlwind of thoughts about Smith and the nightmare we were entangled in. I mechanically reached for items on my grocery list, my movements automatic as I tried to distract myself from the overwhelming stress of the situation. Smith’s tear-streaked face haunted my thoughts, and I couldn’t shake the image of him in that desolate prison cell.After I paid for my groceries, I stepped into the mall’s main corridor, my mind still racing with plans and possibilities to clear Smith’s name. As I made my way toward the exit, a familiar face caught my eye. At first, I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. It couldn’t be her. Emily was dead. But as I drew closer, there was no mistaking it – it was Emily.My heart pounded in my chest as I hurried towards her, my groceries forgotten in the cart behind me. “Emily!” I called out, my voice trembling with a mix of shock and disbelief. She turned at the sound of her name, her ey

Anna's POVAs I pondered on the issue at hand, I couldn't help but to wonder what was happening and why things always turned bad for us. “What was happening?” I thought, stepping out of the kitchen where I was preparing dinner. Smith's company was getting bankrupt and he had been trying to help himself but none of his plans had been working.Finally, today he had gone to meet one of his last remaining investors whom he hoped would help him. He had told me so many good stories about Mr. Henderson. How they became friends and how their friendship had lasted till this time. I was making a grilled cheese burger with fries but I had so much concentration that I was silent and the food would turn out bad. These past few days have met me persistently and consistently worried about Smith's business. He has literally been doing everything that he could to get his company back to what it was a few years ago. I was always feeling so overwhelmed with everything. Was this all for me? I even wen

Anna's POV: When I had gone to visit Emily and her mother. I was prepared for them. I knew I was going there and they'd find a way to make fun of me. Smith had been trying to put himself together and make things work out for him. The investors have all refused to partner with him since the incident of him being accused of killing Emily. The news had stopped caring about the news but the bloggers didn't stop talking about him and how his business would fail if he didn't make any moves. I was scared for Smith and his company so I decided to find a way to help him. Emily and Sally were against me and were the ones plotting and making Smith look bad in the eyes of people. I knew I needed to fight for my marriage and my husband so I decided to use my father, Sam, to get what I wanted. So I entered the car and without telling Smith where I was going, drove to the family house where I knew I would meet them. Before I had left, I had called Dad to let him know that l would be home soon an

Smith's POV:When Dora, my secretary had told me that Emily was waiting for me, I knew she had come to cause a scene here so I asked Dora to let her in. It was better to cause that scene in a secluded place than let her do it in public. “Let her in.” I told Dora who rushed out to do exactly what she was asked. She was so innocent and also the most hardworking lady I had that worked for me. She was always early to work and would get things prepared and ready for me. I tidied my table quickly, then waited for Emily to usher herself into the office as she would rudely do. Seconds later, she came in as she slammed the door behind her. “Hello again.” She said and offered herself a seat without waiting for me to tell her to do so. “Yes. What can I do for you?” I asked, trying to sound as professional as I could. “I'm sure you've found out that your wife is a thief?” She asked, staring at me. There was a minute silence when she said that. In my mind, I was thinking that she had come ag

Dan's POV: I was utterly disgusted when Emily left my apartment. She is the reason I am in this situation in the first place and now, she is threatening me. As I sat in my very unkempt apartment, I wondered how life would have been if I hadn't left Anna for her selfish sister, Emily. Anna was my everything. We did everything together and we were happy but Emily made me believe that she was cheating on me and I got very upset about that. For the past 6 months after Anna got heartbroken by me and got married to Smith, I have had peace and it was so evident with the way I lived. My apartment was messed up and my life was already a mess, I couldn't comprehend it but I knew I needed to improve.At first when Emily wanted my friendship, I was doubtful because according to Anna, they treated her badly. At that time, I got my first ever job at a company where I worked as a sales analyst. The pay wasn't great but it was comfortable for a single guy like me.Anna had told me of her plans to
