**Third person**As soon as the men were out, Amelia dropped to her knees, her shoulders shaking violently."What's this about?" Karen asked, a bit of unease creeping into her voice.Amelia's knees remained on the floor as she explained everything to Karen amidst tears. When she was done, the room fell into a heavy silence.Karen stood up from her chair and walked over to where Amelia was kneeling."Stand up," she instructed with a calm voice.Amelia immediately stood up, her smile growing. "Thank you, ma'a..."But before she could finish her statement, Karen swung her arm, and her palm connected with Amelia's cheek with a sickening smack. Amelia stumbled and fell, her hand flying to her burning face. Karen followed, her stiletto heel digging into Amelia's stomach with a force that made Amelia groan in pain. Tears streamed down Amelia's face as she curled into a ball on the floor, her body trembling with pain and fear."You're just old and stupid!" Karen barked, her legs kicking any

**Third person**“Fucking bastard,” Lucas cursed and then spun him around.His jaw dropped and his face contorted in confusion when he saw the face staring at him. “What the hell, man?” The teenage-looking boy staring at Lucas asked with a scowl.He'd seen the person's side profile, and this was definitely not him. Still, Lucas took the boy's hand and rolled his sleeves up. And as suspected, the bullet graze was missing.He got the wrong person. Shit!!!Lucas tried to steady his breath, his eyes roaming about the busy space. Where did he go?“Why are you holding my son? Let him go,” A woman's voice snapped him out of his daze.Then he released his grip on the boy. The boy took off with his mother, both of them giving Lucas dirty looks as they left.Just then, Calvin and the rest of the men caught up to him, their breathing heavy.“Hey, boss. Did you get him?” Calvin asked, still trying to catch his breath.Lucas turned to stare at Calvin, his eyes shooting daggers at him, and Calvi

**Third person**Mrs. Stone pushed open the creaking door of her father's room, the familiar scent of antiseptic air filling her nostrils. Grandpa sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on a point in the distance. A soft, rhythmic tapping filled the silence; it was the sound of his fingers tracing patterns on the quilt."Still awake, Papa?" she asked gently, even though the answer was obvious.Grandpa didn't respond, his expression blank. Mrs. Stone was used to his silence by now, but it still tugged at her heartstrings. She sat beside him, her hand resting lightly on his."What do you think about Valerie, Lucas's girlfriend?" she asked, trying to spark a conversation.To her surprise, Grandpa turned to her, a flicker of recognition in his eyes. "She's lovely," he said, his voice a soft murmur.Mrs. Stone turned to look at him, her heart swelling. "Really?" she replied, a smile creeping across her face. "I think so too. She's a wonderful girl."The smile on Mrs. Stone's face ling

**Third person** Valerie smiled and then picked up her phone. “Good day, sir. Sorry to bother you; I wanted to ask if I could meet you later to discuss things about work.” Then she hit the send button. Matt shot Val a confused look. “That's it?” “Yeah, this is how it'll start,” she smirked. “What if he actually thinks that you want to discuss work with him?” Matt continued. “And then he gets mad when you don't bring up something about work or think that you're trying to...” Val squeezed Matt's hand, shutting him up. “Adam wouldn't think that.” At ‘The Happy Hour’, a lavish nightclub bathed in neon lights and pulsating music, Adam sat in the VIP lounge. The air was thick with the scent of expensive perfume and the buzz of excitement. Girls with bare titties and thongs paraded the place, serving drinks, dancing, and the like. Just then, his phone beeped with a text from Valerie. “Good day, sir. Sorry to bother you; I wanted to ask if I could meet you later to discuss things

**Third person**“I understand that she drowned that night, but did they ever find her body?”Karen's eyes narrowed as she stared intently at Layla. “Why are you asking suddenly?”“Oh, it's nothing serious,” Layla dismissed nervously. “I saw something that reminded me of her today; that's why I decided to ask.”She would tell Karen more if she discovered anything fishy about Val.Karen studied Layla's face a bit more before she responded. "No, it wasn't found.”“But I think you should focus on getting rid of Valerie as soon as possible and quit wondering if Ashley's body was found or not," Karen advised.**Valerie**Valerie stared at the unfinished project she spent her entire week on, a knot of frustration tightening in her stomach. It felt like she was hitting a brick wall, no matter how hard she tried. She stood up and headed to Layla's office. When Layla responded to the knock on her door, Valerie walked in.“Uh, good morning,” Val began.An insincere smile stretched on Layla's
