"Is everything alright here?" Shawn cut in as sharp as a razor in the still night breeze, and its keen rim whipped up Eva's heartbeat like never before.

Eva froze, her heart pounding in her ears. She could feel Shawn's eyes on her, waiting, watching. Her mouth opened, but nothing came out.

Ryan spoke first, his tone as smooth and melodious. "Yeah, man," he said, shifting in front of Eva, "she had something in her eye, tearing up and stuff, so I was just trying to help her out." A casual reassuring smile was sent their way; this, of course, was nothing to worry about.

Shawn’s gaze didn’t waver. His eyes flicked between them, suspicion clouding his features. “You okay now?” he asked, his voice deceptively even.

Eva nodded quickly. “Yes, I’m fine.” Her voice was strained, but she forced a smile, praying it looked convincing.

Shawn’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn’t push. “Good,” he said. “Let’s go.” He reached for her hand, his grip firm, almost too tight.

Eva gave him a quick, plea

    Henry and Richard glanced at each other with smile on their faces,“They found a CCTV camera at the entrance of the apartment opposite Samantha's. A single mother stays her kid alone, but she has been out of the city for a month, and the security was installed to protect her from her abusive ex-husband who wouldn't leave her alone.” Wilson began to explain. “How were you able to get the footage if she was out of town?” Henry interrupted. “Oh, she arrived yesterday. We kept watching her apartment till she returned.” Officer Greg replied quickly, “The footage shows how Samantha went out of the house the night before she was arrested and didn't come back home. But two men came in the dead of the night with someone on their shoulder who we suspect to be Eva.” “They penetrated Samantha's apartment and placed Eva there while she was away, then informed the police to raid Samantha's place, and Samantha was arrested while she was trying to meet with Ava.” Richard completed his words.“Whoe

    “We are here to help you, so you have to stop hiding things, tell us everything you know. Everything that exposes Norman and Victor's crime.” Henry gently said to Samantha. They were seated in the visiting room of the police station, Henry and Richard sat side by side, and Samantha sat opposite them with a blank expression. “You are here to help me?” Samantha scoffed, “You are here because of your son because your son might lose everything if Norman is not found guilty.” Richard cut in with an irritated tone, “I don't think you have any other option here, young lady. It's either you cooperate and we help each other or you rot in jail alone after being used.” Samantha's face dropped, and she remained silent for a while, narrowing her eyes at Richard. “Why didn't Eva come to give a statement?” She finally spoke again, “She knows everything that happened. She's the victim and a witness. Her statement would have changed the whole narrative. Why isn't she here?” She raised her voice.

    Amy began to pack up her things, "I'll hasten on my investigation on Ashley Darlington and make sure I find concrete evidence before the suspect is charged to court." She announced."My father-in-law is really interested in this case, and he'll make sure Samantha Dale gets punished for putting his family in chaos," Daine added. Eleanor turned to Amy with a confused look, "Isn't he aware of the rival between both of his sons and grandsons? Why is he being nonchalant about it and ready to put all the blame on Samantha. Isn't he being biased at this point?" "I thought Shawn used to be his favourite," Eleanor scoffed. Daine shook her head, "Jonathan Darlington is well aware of what is going on, but he thinks Shawn and Henry are just trying to blame Victor and Norman based on the rival between them and not with concrete Proofs of their claims. That's why he wants to make sure the real suspects get punished severely." Daine shrugged her shoulders, "That’s just what I think from the surf

    “I'm sorry for taking it behind your back, Eleanor,” Daine said with a remorseful expression. "I should have told you first." Eleanor shook her head, “No need to apologise, you were worried about my daughter, I sincerely appreciate that,” she smiled, “Though I felt uneasy when I found out about it but I knew you had a good reason, I was waiting for you to tell me yourself.” Daine smiled, reaching her eyes, “Thanks for trusting me.” They were sitting in a private VIP lounge of a restaurant. “Amy is my junior in high school and also a good friend of mine,” Daine introduced Amy, who was sitting opposite them. “My husband mustn't know that I'm still in touch with her, that's why we chose this place.” Eleanor raised a brow, “Why doesn't your husband want her around? Did something happen between them,” She got curious.“It's a long story. Let's save it for another day.” Daine decided to end that topic there, and Eleanor knew not to press further even though the curiosity was eating her

    Norman was sitting in his office that was formerly Shawn's office. The memories of the previous night kept replaying in his head, and he wondered if Ava remembered any of it. “I really hope she doesn't remember, or else she'll come for me and accuse me of doing it on purpose.” He muttered. He remembered that she also didn't remember that it was him in Italy until he told her about it. Another part of him was hoping that she remembered everything that happened that night and last night also. Maybe if she remembers how intimate they were, he would see her in another light. “Who am I kidding?” He leaned back on his chair. He knows he was delusional, and Ava would never forgive him for everything that had happened. He was even the sole reason why she was getting drunk at the club in the first place. It was responsible for everything. His mind flashed back to the conversation between his mum and dad. “What was it all for?” He questioned himself. He remembered the pain in his mother

    Ava walked through the front door of Wadsley mansion to meet her father's blazing eyes. “Care to explain the meaning of this behaviour, young lady?” He growled with fire in his eyes. Ava dropped her head to avoid eye contact with him. “I'm sorry for making you worried, I didn't mean to.” She apologized in a soft tone. Richard Wadsley moved closer to her, “Worried? That's the not the problem here, Ava,”She looked up in confusion. “How can you be so calm and irresponsible to get drunk at a club. Your sister is out there, and no one knows where she is, and you are getting wasted instead of doing everything possible to reach her. Do you not care at all?” Richard's voice was sharp and firm with rage seeping through it. Ava's eyes stung with tears, “I'm really sorry, dad. This is all my fault. I really care about Eva, and I'm trying my best to find her,” “By getting wasted at a club?” Richard cut her off with a judgemental tone. She dropped her head and let the tears pour out, “I'm
