    Sophia’s hands trembled as she slowly removed her expensive clothes, the same clothes that had represented her status only hours ago. With every piece she removed, she felt like she was losing another piece of the life she once controlled.When she finished, she stood there in silence, her arms wrapped around herself as she tried to hide her discomfort.Officer Briggs stepped forward. “Turn around.”Sophia closed her eyes for a moment before doing what she was told.“Lift your arms.”Sophia obeyed, her face burning with embarrassment.“This is humiliating,” she whispered.Officer Briggs remained expressionless. “It’s prison. The rules are the same for everyone.”Sophia looked down, fighting back tears.Back in her old world, people lowered their voices when she entered a room. They respected her family name.

The sun was bright.It was a normal day for everyone except Leo.Leo sat alone on a bench near the edge of the playground.He couldn't stop thinking about what his father had told him. Gabriella was going to be his new mother. His real mother was in prison. And no one cared about how he felt.A group of boys walked over to him. The leader was a tall, stocky boy named Marcus.

    FAVINO PENTHOUSE ~ NEW YORK CITY Gabriella’s smile vanished completely. “You said you’d make sure my mom would never come back. You said she’d never be able to take me away from you.”Fresh tears rolled down Leo’s cheeks. “You framed her!” he cried. “You’re the one who ruined my family!”Alejandro gently grabbed Leo’s shoulder. “Mijo, that’s enough,” he said firmly.Leo pulled away at once, tears still running down his face.“No, Papa! She’s lying!” he cried. “I heard her with my own ears. She was on the phone. She said, ‘Get her out of my way permanently.’ She even paid people to lie in court!”For a brief second, panic flashed across Gabriella’s face.But it disappeared just as quickly.She lowered her eyes and forced out a sad smile.“Alejandro,” she said softly, “he’s hurting. He misses his mother, and I understand. He’s angry, so he’s blaming me.”Alejandro rubbed his forehead and nodded. “You’re right.”He looked at his son. “Leo, you’re confused.”“I’m not confused!” Leo yell

    WENTWORTH CORRECTIONAL CENTER – RECEPTION – 2:00 PMThe prison van stopped in front of the massive iron gates of Wentworth Correctional Center.Sophia sat in the back seat with her hands cuffed in front of her. The expensive clothes she had worn to court were gone. Her designer shoes had been replaced with cheap prison slippers. Her makeup was smeared, her hair was messy, and she looked nothing like the powerful socialite who had entered the courthouse that morning.She had cried the entire way there.Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was filled with anger and humiliation. She couldn’t believe this was happening to her.The van doors opened.Two female guards stood outside, waiting.One of them stepped forward. Her name tag read Officer Briggs She was tall, muscular, and had a cold expression that made it clear she had no patience for anyone.“Get out,” Briggs ordered.Sophia didn’t move. “I want to speak to my lawyer.”Officer Briggs let out a short laugh. “Your lawyer is

    ALEJANDRO’S PENTHOUSE — LEO’S BEDROOM — MORNINGMorning sunlight poured through the curtains, filling Leo’s bedroom with a warm golden glow.Eight-year-old Leo sat on his bed with his arms crossed tightly over his chest. His face was red from crying, and he refused to look at the door.Alejandro stood outside for a moment, taking a deep breath.This was the conversation he had been avoiding for days.Finally, he knocked softly. “Leo,” he said quietly. “Can I come in? We need to talk.”“No!”Leo’s answer came instantly.Alejandro let out a sigh and slowly walked into the room anyway. He sat on the edge of the bed, leaving a little space between them.“I know you’re upset,” he said gently. “But you need to hear me out.”“I don’t want to hear anything.”Alejandro reached over and tried to rest a hand on his son’s shoulder.Leo quickly pulled away. “Don’t touch me.”Alejandro’s heart tightened. “Leo… please. Just listen to me.”Leo finally turned to face him. Tears filled his eyes, but th

    Valerie shook her head firmly. "I'm not manipulating you. I'm telling you the truth. The hard truth. You need a lawyer who will fight for you. And I'm the best one you're going to get."Amelia was silent for a long moment, her eyes searching Valerie's face. Then she spoke, her voice cold and controlled."Who sent you? Tell me that, and I might consider letting you represent me."Valerie shook her head. "I can't. Not yet."Amelia stood up abruptly. "Then we're done here."She started to walk away, but Valerie called after her."Amelia, wait! Please! Just give me a chance!"Amelia stopped and turned back, her eyes burning with anger. "You want a chance? Then earn it. Prove to me that you're not just another puppet sent by Gabriella to destroy me. Prove to me that you actually care about getting me out of here."Valerie's voice was desperate. "I do care! I've spent weeks working on your case. I've spent sleepless nights going through every piece of evidence. I've put my career on the l
