No More Tricks to Play.

Arthur leans backwards slightly into the chair, his fingers unconsciously intertwined with Bethany’s the entire time. His voice, though calm and measured, carries the weight of the truth he has just lay bare while the whole world is listening.“I won’t pretend that everything was perfect me either,” he continues, his gaze shifting from Tammy to Millicent, who sits silently, her eyes narrowing slightly as she listens painfully. “There were faults on both sides, mine inclusive. I totally failed to see how my wife really felt during that time. Millicent was an actress nevertheless, she was good at hiding emotions, burying them beneath the surface. She never spoke up, and I assumed her silence meant everything was fine, I thought it was all fine when she helped blow the balloons, arrange the toys, I thought it was fine as she watched me arrange the baby’s crib… But it wasn’t.”Tammy listens intently, her eyes widening with every word, clearly taken aback by the candor of Arthur’s confessio

The Reveal

“Is your car parked outside by any chance?”John raises his head, surprised at the random question. “Yes, why do you ask?”“Where were you on the day of Sienna’s murder? We have both established that you knew her and were her benefactor for two years? That is touching and sweet but before we release you, where were you on the day of her murder?”I had gone to her place.“I had a meeting with a Kevin Fitzpatrick.”“Really? Do you have his phone number? This is just to confirm your alibi.” Marsh inquires, a small smile at the edge of his mouth. Only himself, for now, knows the direction he is headed.“Yes… Yes, I have his number.”Eager to get the hell out of there, John easily calls out the string of numbers to Marsh as the detective, in turn, dials the number.“Okay, I will give him a call now…” Marsh dials.The line rings once, and then cuts off.Marsh redials.The line cuts off again.“Looks like he is busy or it is a bad network issue. Since you are here anyway, we will just check

Millicent

In the suffocating darkness of the room, the only sound that fills the air is Millicent’s heavy sniffling. The curtains are drawn tightly, shutting out the outside world, the light, and everything that once made her feel like a star. The room itself is bare, save for a few pieces of scattered furniture. The only things that catch any attention are the pictures plastered on the wall, a stark contrast to the dreary surroundings.Millicent sits huddled in the corner, her knees drawn up to her chest as tears stream down her face. Her sobs are quiet, almost muffled, but the pain in her heart feels loud, intrusive. Her once carefully maintained composure has shattered, and now, all that’s left is this overwhelming sense of emptiness. The room feels cold, like her spirit has been frozen in time.The door creaks open, and her new manager steps in quietly, carrying a tray of food in his hands. He pauses when he sees the untouched plate from earlier, his brows furrowing with concern.He places

Hired...

The two financial officers drag Kevin out of Campbell Conglomerate, his face twisted with anger and fear. His mind races as they force him into a black van parked just outside the building. He struggles, trying to pull away, but their grip on him is too strong.His cheeks are swollen red and his hands are tight in a fist.“Get in,” one of the officers barks, pushing him roughly into the back seat of the van.Kevin lands on the seat with a grunt on his backside, his hands cuffed tightly behind his back. He glares at the officers, his eyes wild with desperation. “You can’t do this! You’re making a mistake! Get me that bitch and I'll show her twenty billion dollars!” he shouts, but his words fall on deaf ears.The door slams shut, leaving Kevin trapped in the darkened interior of the van. The doors are locked loudly, the windows are heavily tinted, so he can’t see what’s going on outside and he guesses the same for those on the outside. The van starts moving, and for the first few minut

Not if I get that Mother-fucker First!

The house is covered in the silence of early in the morning, with the soft glow of daylight just beginning to filter through the room’s curtains. The regular morning sounds made in the mansion has been reduced to a hush so the sleeping couple upstairs would be able to have a peaceful sleep…They both deserve it after so many sleepless nights and worry filled days.Arthur stirs first, then slowly opening his eyes to his surroundings. His gaze naturally falls on Bethany, lying peacefully beside him, her face turned to face his. She is sound asleep, her breathing pretty steady and calm. Arthur watches her for a moment, a soft smile tugging at his lips as her full lips are curved up slightly at the edges.She must be having a pretty good dream.Gently, he reaches out and brushes a stray strand of hair away from her face, tucking it behind her ear. He takes a moment to admire her, the woman he’s come to love so deeply, the woman who stands by his side no matter what storms rage around them

Mr. and Mrs. Worth.

Bethany pulls back from his protective and quite reassuring hug, crosses her arms, and bites her lip. “And now the media is going to come after us. They’ll tie this to Campbell Conglomerate… to me.” Her voice wavers, but she takes a deep breath, trying to maintain composure, to show them all that she can still be rational.Her life is the perfect example of no rest and the idiom ‘from frying pan, to fire’. She only just got out of the frying pan the day before only to end up with a good night’s sleep, the unknowing short trip into the fire.Arthur pulls her close once again, his arm around her shoulders. “We’ll deal with whatever comes. We have nothing to hide. They will not be able to pin anything except trashy circumstantial sayings and whatever trashy media they try to come up with, we’ll control it. Unlike with Millicent because she was an actress, this is pretty controllable. No one wants to be sued.”Martha, who has been sitting in her armchair, watching the scene unfold, finally

To Let a Little Loose

Bethany steps into the house, her thoughts still tangled in the events of the day.The police station they are just returning from, Kevin’s death, the ongoing investigation, it all feels heavy on her shoulders. Arthur walks beside her, his presence steady and grounding. They haven’t said much to each other since they left the station, but his hand has been holding hers the entire time, providing silent comfort. One that oddly enough, she finds herself needing.As they close the door behind them, Martha appears at the end of the hallway, her expression gentle but concerned. “Bethany,” she says softly, “can I have a moment with you?”Bethany looks at Arthur with a curious eyes, but he only gives her an encouraging nod. “Go ahead,” he says. “I’ll be upstairs, getting some things ready.”With that, Bethany follows Martha down the hallway.They pass the living room, where the sound of the television playing softly echoes in the background. Martha leads her to her room on the ground floor,

Off For a Visit

Bethany and Arthur lay side by side on the soft grass, the warmth of the sun sinking into their skin as a gentle breeze rustled the faraway trees around them.For a while, they simply enjoy the silence, the serenity of being away from all the noise and complications of the world. The tennis court they had just left was a distant memory, and the day felt lighter, easier, as they basked in the quiet moments between them.Arthur and Bethany lay side by side on the bench, basking in the cool breeze that brushes over them.The lighthearted laughter from their tennis match fades into a comfortable silence. The peace of the moment feels like a small escape from everything, but the silence, however comfortable, only makes their minds wander back to the places they did not want to go.After a short, silent while, Bethany breaks the silence, her voice soft and thoughtful. “Arthur,” she begins, her eyes fixed on the sky, “are you not worried about Daisy? With John in detention at the police stati

Fury and Smiles.

Downstairs, the silence, getting longer and worse by the seconds passing, between Daisy and Arthur thickens like a fog, heavy and oppressive. Arthur sits rigid in his chair, staring at the glass of water in his hand, his fingers wrapped tightly around the cool surface as though it could somehow calm the storm brewing inside him.It doesn’t.Something about being here, in front of Daisy, seeing how older she has gotten from all of her poor life choices, everything just makes him boiling hot on the inside.He glances up at Daisy, her expression a mixture of nervousness and guilt, her hands wringing the dish towel over and over as if she could twist her own anxiety out of existence. She had picked it back up seeing that there was nothing to do with her hands, and a nervous tic.But Arthur’s patience has long since worn thin.“Have you even seen Charles lately?” Arthur’s voice cuts through the silence like a blade, sharp and demanding. “Does he know that Quinn’s assaulter has been caught?

Mentally Ill, Physically Drunk.

The tires of the car crunched softly on the driveway as Arthur and Bethany pulled up in front of Charles’s house.The silence in the car had been comfortable but as soon as they drove in through the unmanned gates, their silence became thick with the worries that neither of them wanted to voice but they can both see it either way.Bethany glanced out of the window, her eyes scanning the empty, lifeless shell of what had once been her matrimonial home. The sense of worry that hung over her had been growing stronger ever since they left Daisy’s house, but now, seeing the state of Charles’s place, it is almost unbearable.The small garden on the side of the house, the same one Bethany had painstakingly tended to when she had lived here is now a withered patch of dry, brown earth, no single sight of a green leaf or any colors at all. The rose bushes she had once pruned with care were now shriveled husks, lifeless and brittle. It was as if the neglect that had consumed Charles had seeped i
