My throat burned as I coughed violently, choking even. If I stayed in here for a little longer, I might die for real, so I pried my eyes open to find the entrance, but instantly regretted it. Thick white smoke was everywhere, swallowing everything. My eyes burned. Shutting them, it was already too late as pepper gas clawed down my throat and into my lungs. I gagged, tears streaming uncontrollably as my body trembled. Every breath felt like inhaling fire. Gunshots cracked through the chaos. Screams followed. Heavy impacts.

One Week Later… Breaking News: The anchor’s expression was grave as the footage shifted from courthouse steps to a packed courtroom. “Today, the popular adulterous couple we all know too well have once again shaken the nation.” The screen cut to Julia seated in the witness box. Her face was pale, eyes hollow, hands trembling as she clutched the rail in front of her. “Formal supermodel, Julia Kings has officially testified against the CEO of Luxehaven, Ryan Thompson,” the reporter continued. “In sworn testimony, she admitted to crimes spanning over a decade, implicating herself and Ryan in a series of betrayals that have horrified the public… please, watch for yourselves.” The courtroom footage rolled.
