Mary's povThe hospital room, so sterile and quiet contrasted starkly with the severity of my husband's deteriorating condition. Amidst the atmosphere, the constant beeping of machines seemed oddly out of place. The growing pile of bills threatened to overwhelm us casting a shadow of despair on our hopes. As I watched over my husband with an expression etched on my face a sense of desperation accompanied us through this time.During all this turmoil Judith emerged as a beacon of hope.

Noah's Perspective Despite the vastness of New York City and its countless opportunities, I recently undertook a clandestine assignment. While Victor conducted an extensive investigation for Mary, my methods were more restrained. Armed with cunning techniques and strategic deployment of funds as leverage, I commenced operations without incident. However, my hired informants had different intentions. Instead of leading me to Mary's hiding place, they directed me towards Judith's residence. Although it was a brief diversion from our plan, I could always count on dependable Judith who ultimately guided me to the correct destination - Mary's actual apartment. As soon as I laid eyes on Mary, an array of emotions coursed through my veins. Her reaction upon hearing my proposal spoke volumes; she appeared disoriented with a hint of vulnerability and profound complexity in her demeanor that was hard for anyone to fathom. A palpable unease emanated between us leaving words hanging unspoken d

Mary's pov.Throughout the night, I couldn't find any peace as I kept dreaming about Johnson still being alive. As daylight started to seep in through my window curtains, a sudden knock on my door broke me out of my restless slumber.
