Third person's POV

The phone felt heavy in Avery's hands as they walked out of the police station. The weight of everything that had happened pressed down on her shoulders like a stone. Her father walked beside her, his face set in hard lines, but she could see the worry in his eyes. The worry for her. The worry for their family. The worry for everything falling apart.

The night air was cold against her skin. After hours in that small cell, breathing recycled air that smelled like fear and disinfectant, the outside world felt too big. Too open. Like she might just float away if she was not careful.

Her phone buzzed in her palm.

Avery looked down at the screen. A message notification glowed against the black background. Her heart stopped when she saw the name: Liam.

She opened the message with trembling fingers. The words appeared on the screen like a slap across her face: "Sweetheart, why can't you just keep your little ass somewhere?"

The world tilted sideways.

    Third person's POV The police station smelled like old coffee and broken dreams. The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, casting everything in a sickly yellow glow that made everyone look like they were dying. Avery sat in the back of the patrol car, her wrists still cuffed, watching through the window as her father paced outside like a caged animal.When they brought her inside, the booking officer looked up from his paperwork with the tired eyes of a man who had processed a thousand rich kids having their first real taste of consequences."Name?" Officer Martinez asked, his pen hovering over the form."Avery Maddox," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. The name that had once opened doors now felt like a weight around her neck."Age?""Twenty-four.""Occupation?"She paused. What was her occupation, really? Living off her father's money? Playing corporate games? Watching her brother's private videos? "Executive," she finally said.Officer Martinez looked at her over his rea

    Third person's POV "Daddy, please don't make this into something bigger than it needs to be," Avery pleaded as Mr. Maddox sat frozen behind the steering wheel, his mind processing the shocking revelations and trying to reconcile his moral beliefs with his daughter's apparent behavior.One thing he was thinking is that: Did Avery ever watch those videos before it gets to public or did she allow it to get out to ruin both Maddox's and Sinclair's family's name?The silence between them stretched taut as piano wire.While still looking at her father. She released heavy breaths. "You know what's funny about families like ours, Daddy?" she said finally, her voice carrying that particular flatness she'd perfected over years of corporate meetings and family disasters. The words emerged carefully controlled, but underneath lay an edge sharp enough to cut glass.Mr. Maddox's knuckles had gone white against the steering wheel, his wedding ring catching the light as his hands trembled almost i

    Third person's POV Jefferson's smile was thin and cold. "I knew about a lot of things before they went public, Richard. The question you should be asking yourself is what other surprises might be coming. I mean your daughter's pregnancy, I meant Mrs Sinclair's pregnancy isn't public and her belly is growing bigger day by day. I just want to know one thing, why?"Mr. Richard stared at Avery then at Jefferson: "Astor Sinclair and I made that decision because not every one of her daily life should be on the social media. Some of us still have the decent life we wanted.""Sorry.. sorry, Mr. Maddox by decency, you meant Miss Sinclair is really that decent?" Mr. Jefferson asked. "Are you crazy? What do you mean by all your accusations of ruining my name? I think I should really file a defamation case today." Avery replied, with anger flowing across her face. "Sorry. Ah, you know someone like us might not be able to fight powerful people like you. But actually that is not what I heard ov

    Third person's POV The Mercedes pulled into the executive parking space with the precision of a man who had been making that exact maneuver for over two decades. Richard Maddox sat behind the wheel for a moment, staring at the gleaming corporate tower that bore his family name in gold letters across the facade. Despite the federal investigation circling him like vultures, despite the lawyers and accountants dissecting every transaction he'd made in the past five years, his entry access card still worked. Some privileges of power died hard.The marble lobby echoed with his footsteps as he strode toward the executive elevators, his jaw set with the determination of a man who had built an empire through sheer force of will. The security guards nodded respectfully, though he caught the whispered conversations that stopped abruptly when they noticed his presence. Everyone knew about the investigation. Everyone was waiting to see if the patriarch of the Maddox empire would fall.The el

    Third person's POV Liam stared at the screen, watching the images of Jackson being escorted by security guards while his father stood in the background like an avenging demon. The headline screamed across the top: "CORPORATE SHOWDOWN: Maddox Executive Forcibly Removed from Sinclair Building.""Damn, babe, you really made a mess there," Liam said, his voice carrying a mixture of admiration and concern as he handed the phone back to Janet.Jackson wrapped his arms around Liam from behind, pulling him close despite the paint stains on both their clothes. "Anything for you, babe," he murmured into Liam's ear, his breath warm against his neck."What really happened? You have got to tell me everything," Liam insisted, turning in Jackson's embrace to face him directly. The afternoon light filtering through the hotel room's windows cast shadows across Jackson's face, highlighting the tension that lingered around his eyes despite his casual demeanor.Jackson glanced at Janet, who was pretend
