As Mia sat before the officer, she felt a wave of apprehension wash over her. She knew that her testimony could have far-reaching consequences, and she was determined to speak her truth, no matter the cost. The officer began his questioning, asking Mia to recount the events of the night she and Yvette were kidnapped. Mia's voice wavered slightly as she relived the harrowing experience, describing the fear and confusion they felt as they were taken against their will.When the officer asked about the computer, Mia hesitated for a moment. With a heavy heart, she admitted that Mr. James was the only other person who had used the computer that night.As the interrogation continued, Mia's disdain for Mr. James became increasingly evident.

"Trust me. I'm going to get him to talk."Gerard clenched his fists, struggling to contain his emotions. "I trust you, detective," he replied tersely. "But I can't shake this feeling of regret. What if he doesn't talk?""Don't blame yourself, sir," the detective reassured, placing a hand on Gerard's shoulder. "Life is unpredictable. We can't always foresee the intentions of those we let into our lives."Gerard nodded, albeit reluctantly. "Give me some time," the detective continued, his tone firm yet reassuring. "I'll bring you good news."With a heavy heart, Gerard bid farewell to the detective and left the building. As he stepped outside, he couldn't shake the feeling of eye

As the weight of Nathan's words settled over Ivy, she felt a whirlwind of emotions swirling within her. Mia, her childhood confidante, the woman whose Gerard cheated on her with, now implicated in such a heinous act? It was almost too much to comprehend."I... I can't believe it," Ivy murmured, her voice barely audible.Nathan reached out a hand, offering her silent support as she grappled with the shocking revelation. "I know it's a lot to take in," he said gently, his eyes reflecting empathy.Ivy shook her head, trying to make sense of the chaos unfolding around her. "But why would Mia do something like this? What could possibly drive her to betray us like this?" she wondered aloud, her voice tinged with disbelief.Nathan's brow furrowed in contemplation. "I don't know, Ivy. It's hard to understand why someone would choose such a destructive path," he admitted, his tone somber.Silence hung heavy in the room as Ivy struggled to come to terms with the newfound knowledge.

Ella cast a concerned glance at Yvette as they sat in her car, the engine humming softly. "Yvette, you shouldn't have reacted like that," she said gently, her voice tinged with worry.Yvette shrugged, her expression unyielding. "I couldn't stand seeing him like that, Ella. He's part of all this mess, and I won't let him get away with it.""But hitting him won't solve anything," Ella reasoned, her grip tightening on the steering wheel. "We need to handle this situation calmly and rationally."Yvette sighed, running a hand through her hair. "I know, Ella, but I can't help it. I hate him for what he's done."Ella nodded understandingly, but couldn't shake off her concern. "Just be careful, Yvette. We don't want to make things worse."Yvette smirked bitterly. "It's not like they can get any worse. Besides, now he knows I'm onto him and Mia." She paused, her eyes glinting with determination. "I won't rest until they're both brought to justice."Ella sighed, knowing that convincing Yvette o

"You should consider yourself lucky to be here and not behind bars," he said, his words dripping with disdain. "If it weren't for me, you'd be rotting away in a prison cell by now."Mia swallowed hard, her palms clammy with sweat. She had always known that their plan was risky, but she had never imagined it would come to this. She had thought they were invincible, untouchable. But now, faced with the reality of their actions, she couldn't help but feel a creeping sense of dread.The man's eyes bore into hers, a silent accusation hanging between them like a heav
