Se connecterNYPD HEADQUARTERS — INTERROGATION ROOM — NIGHTSophia sat in the cold interrogation room, her hands cuffed to the metal table. Her expensive designer clothes were wrinkled and stained. Her makeup was completely ruined, mascara running down her cheeks in black streaks. She looked nothing like the polished socialite who had once hosted glamorous parties and live streams.Detective Miller sat across from her, his face grim. Detective Reyes stood by the door, her arms crossed.Through the two-way mirror, Damien Blackwood and Sophia's father, Mr Langston , watched in stunned silence.Damien's face was pale, his jaw tight.He had rushed to the station the moment he heard about Sophia's arrest, but seeing her like this broken, sobbing, handcuffed was something he hadn't been prepared for.Mr Langston stood beside him, his hands shaking. He was an older man, distinguished and wealthy, but right now he looked shattered. His only daughter was being charged with murder."This can't be happe
Amelia shook her head with a cold smile, unable to believe what she was hearing."That's interesting," she said, her fingers tightening around the phone. "Because I've heard those exact words before." Her eyes narrowed as she stared at Valerie through the glass. "I already had a lawyer. Her name was Rebecca Stein."Valerie's expression changed slightly at the mention of the name, her confidence fading into something more guarded. "I know who Rebecca Stein was," she said quietly.Amelia's lips curled into a bitter smile. "Then you should know she wasn't just my lawyer. She was someone I trusted." She looked away, remembering the betrayal. "She promised she would help me, that she would fight for me and prove the truth." Her grip tightened around the phone. "But while I was sitting in that cell believing she was on my side, she was working against me. Rebecca gave my enemies information and helped them build the case against me."Her eyes hardened. "So when you suddenly appear out o
WENT-WORTH CORRECTIONAL CENTER — AMELIA’S CELL — MORNINGAmelia sat on the edge of her narrow bunk, staring at the cold floor beneath her feet. One hand rested protectively over her growing belly while the other gripped the worn blanket beside her.The sound of heavy footsteps approaching made her look up.A moment later, the sharp sound of keys rattling against metal bars filled the small cell.A guard appeared at the doorway, his expression blank.“Amelia Stone,” he said. “You have a visitor.”Amelia didn’t even bother looking up. A bitter laugh escaped her lips as she slowly shook her head.“If it’s that lying, useless ex-husband of mine, tell him to leave.”Her voice was filled with anger and pain. “I don’t want to see him. I don’t want to hear another excuse from him. And I definitely don’t want anything to do with him anymore.”The guard watched her for a moment. “It’s not your ex-husband.”Amelia finally lifted her head. Her eyes narrowed suspiciously. “It’s not?”The guard sh
FAVINO PENTHOUSE ~ NEW YORK CITY Gabriella’s face twisted with rage. “You can’t just barge in here. This is a private party. Leave now, or I’m calling security.”Valerie laughed in a cold, sharp sound. “Security? Please. Do you have any idea how long I’ve waited for this moment? Years, Gabriella. Ever since you destroyed that case I was building. Ever since you trashed my name. I’ve been planning this down to the last second.”Alejandro stepped forward, jaw tight. “Who is this woman? What is she even talking about?”Gabriella’s voice wavered, but she forced it steady. “She’s no one. Just some bitter lawyer who couldn’t beat me in court. She’s been obsessed with revenge for ages.”Valerie’s eyes turned to slits. “I couldn’t win because you paid off the judge. You scared my witnesses into silence. You played filthy, Gabriella. And now? Now you’re going to pay for every single thing.”Alejandro’s face went hard. “Explain. Now.”Valerie turned to him, her voice in a harsh tone. “I’l
FAVINO PENTHOUSE – LIVING ROOM – 7:00 PMThe penthouse looked breathtaking.Thousands of roses filled the room. Candles flickered on every table, casting a warm glow across the hall. Soft music drifted through hidden speakers. Crystal champagne glasses sparkled on silver trays.The room buzzed with conversation. Family members, close friends, and powerful business partners had all gathered for the engagement party.Near the floor-to-ceiling windows, Serena stood with Elena, watching the guests.Serena frowned. "I still can't believe Alejandro is doing this. How could he betray Amelia and marry that fake woman?"Elena turned to her with a sharp look. "Betray Amelia? Amelia is the fake one."Serena blinked. "What do you mean?""You've only seen the sweet act she puts on," Elena said coldly. "You don't know who she really is."Serena folded her arms. "And who is she?""A manipulative liar," Elena replied. "She controlled Alejandro for years and nearly destroyed his life."Serena stared
NYPD PRECINCT ~ NEW YORK CITY"No!" Sophia shouted. "I'm done being quiet! I'm done protecting myself! Someone killed Rebecca Stein and framed me for it! And I want to know who!"Miller and Reyes exchanged another glance."Alright, Mrs. Langston," Miller said slowly. "If you're willing to cooperate fully, we might be able to work something out. But you need to tell us everything about the conspiracy against Amelia Reynolds. And I mean everything."Sophia nodded frantically. "I will! I promise! Just get me out of here! Please!"Miller stood up. "We'll be back in a few minutes. Think carefully about what you want to say."He and Reyes walked out of the room, leaving Sophia alone with her lawyer.Harrison stared at Sophia, his jaw tightening. He ran a frustrated hand through his hair before taking a slow step toward her.“Sophia…” he said, his voice heavy. “Do you even realize what you’ve just done?”She folded her arms across her chest and lifted her chin, refusing to look intimidated.
Amelia took a long, shaky breath, like the next words weighed a ton.“Is your marriage offer still on the table?” she asked quietly.Damien froze. The room went silent.“Yes,” he answered, barely above a whisper “Definitely. It is.”Amelia’s hands trembled slightly.“Good,” she said. “Because if it
Daniel folded his arms.“Go ahead. Put it on speaker. I want to hear every lie she spits out.”Katherina hit the call button.Her jaw tightened as the phone rang.Once… twice…Aunt Jessica picked up on the second ring.“Hello, sweetie? Is everything okay?”Katherina’s voice turned cold instantly.“
DANIEL’S PENTHOUSE – MORNINGDaniel paced the living room, holding a half-filled glass of Martell. His voice was sharp, bitter.“Lucas, do you know what that woman did? That so-called mother of my kids?”Lucas looked up from the couch, raising an eyebrow. “You mean Katherina your baby mama? What ha
“You can’t fight him from in here,” he said.“And I sure as hell won’t fight him wearing your last name,” she shot back.Silence. They stared at each other, tension thick in the air.Damien’s voice softened. “You’ll regret this, Amelia.”She gave a small, broken laugh. “I already regret ever loving
