“Why are you doing this?” I asked Brian.“I told you. I want you back in my life” he answered.“I am pregnant for heaven’s sakes!” I exclaimed in frustration.“I don’t care. You can get rid of his child” he stated indifferently as I fumed with anger.“It’s not his…and you cheated on me” I reminded him.“I apologized” he said holding my hands.“And I told you, I didn’t give a damn and I still don’t” I told him as I snatched my hand away from his grip."How could you, Brian?" I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady.Brian looked at me with a mixture of guilt and defiance. "I did it for us, Sophia. I wanted us to be together again."I laughed, a bitter taste in my mouth. "You think betraying Leo and putting me in danger would make me want to be with you again?"Brian's face fell, and for a moment, I saw the man I used to love. "I was desperate, Sophia. I didn't know what else to do."I shook my head, feeling a pang of sadness. "You should have just talked to me, Brian. We could have w

I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease as I made my way to the old warehouse at midnight. The message had been clear: come alone.I had tried to convince Leo to let me go with him, but he had refused. "It's too dangerous," he had said. "I won't let you put yourself in harm's way."I knew that I had to go. I had to face Victor once and for all.But as I looked at the message, I couldn't help but wonder if he was walking into a trap. I made up my mind to meet him alone, before the date of attack.I couldn’t trust anyone since Victor made it clear he had spies amongst the police force.As I approached the warehouse, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I felt the gun under my shirt. I took a deep breath and stepped inside.I had to come prepared, thanks to Jayden, who had followed me.“Take this” He had ordered me as he gave me the gun. My eyes widened in shock as he placed it on my hands forcefully.“I don’t know how to use it” I told him.“Here is the safety, unlock it…the

“I never wanted this to happen, we needed the money” Allicent said as I frowned in confusion.“What money?” I asked her.“My family’s business…the bankruptcy…my mother’s suicidal attempt” she began as I sat down calmly.“I had to do something” she added with a sad smile.“I am confused, Allicent” I told her as I ran my fingers through my hair. It was greasy, I hadn’t had the time or thought of washing it thoroughly these past few days.“I needed the money, so Victor and I came up with the plan” she said as I gasped.So it was true.She was the accomplice.“Victor…he wanted to kill Leo, I lost my child!”I snapped angrily at her as she backed away.“What did my baby do…what crime have I committed to suffer such pain?” I asked her in a wave of sadness.“Loving him” she muttered.“I tried, I tried so hard…to pull you guys apart” she told me“You were never meant to be in the picture, but Victor had other plans”She continued as i clenched my fist in anger.“I tried to make it as simple as

“Hey.” I said to Allicent as she looked up at me from behind the cell.“Hi.”“How are you holding up?” I asked her.“Chained” she said as my smile faltered.“Deserving of course.” She added before standing and approaching me.“Yeah.”“So what happened in court?” She asked me“Well, I gave my statement honestly…Victor threatened me” I replied as she gasped.“What?” She asked in surprise.“Yeah…crazy, I know” I said.“In court?” She asked with disbelief written all over her face.“Unbelievable” i stated.“You’re scared of him aren’t you?” She asked me as I gave a light shrug.“I thought seeing him face to face liberally would help…but I think it made matters worse” I told her as she nodded in understanding.“It takes time I guess. I’ll give you hint…he’s just some deranged cousin of mine” she said to me.“Is that why you aren’t scared?” I asked her as my brows furrowed in confusion.“One of the reasons I guess” she said as she chuckled softly.“Makes sense” I said .“When is your trial

Three days later , the police came to visit me again. "We've found something," they said. "A suspicious wire in the car's engine."I felt a wave of fear wash over me. "What does it mean?" I asked.The police officer hesitated. "It means that your brakes were tampered with.. Someone wants you dead."I felt a wave of anger wash over me. Who would do such a thing?“Meaning I’m not safe.” I stated in despair.“I will advise you to take precautionary measures as the investigation continues…an officer or two will be on standby here in the hospital”“Thank you, Officer” Stan said as the man nodded and left the room.“What now?” I asked the two men that were with me. Stan and Leo.“Now, we brain storm” Leo remarked.Leo and I followed up on leads and interviewed witnesses. We discovered a surprising connection between Victor and Allicent. Some parts of her story seemed confusing.We decided to meet with Victor too before Allicent."I want to come." I demanded as Leo looked at me with a frown.
