The lawyers hesitated, caught between their loyalty to Daniel and the solidarity of this moment. “...This doesn’t end here,” Daniel warned, trying to regain a semblance of control. “It ends today,” Andrew responded, his voice unyielding, a man reclaiming his ground. Daniel nodded once, acknowledging the finality in the air. “You’re running out of time,” he said, but Andrew didn’t respond. The door closed behind them with a resounding thud, sealing the room in heavy silence.

Something twisted in my chest, but I forced it down and said, word for word, “Alpha Leon, this is the last time I’m saying this seriously. “So listen carefully. I’m not making a scene, and this isn’t some game. “We are over. I will not be your secretary again, nor will I return to your side. “Who you mark in the future has nothing to do with me.” When I finished, I took Jace’s hand and walked toward the field. Behind me, Leon’s voice broke into a hoarse shout. “Celine! Are you really going to stay with an Alpha like him?! “Only we can push each other to further heights! If you don’t turn back now, we’re finished!”

The segment shifted. "We now disclose the defendant, Quin Olson's final memory segment." In the bedroom. I stepped out of the bathroom, my hair still damp. Joseph hugged me from behind, whispering in my ear. "Honey, please, I'm begging you. Helly really needs this kidney. I've gone everywhere with her looking for a match these past few days, but we couldn't find any. Her kidney failure has reached the final stage. If she doesn't get a transplant soon, she'll die."

"About what?" The young man's face grew serious. He looked at Emma. Then at Noah. Then whispered, "Marcus doesn't want the letter anymore." Everyone stared at him. "What?" The stranger swallowed hard. "He already found what was hidden beneath the Old River Mill." Silence. Emma felt her heart sink. "If he found it..." She whispered. "...then why is he still after us?"

Jeff looked like he wanted to tear me apart with his bare teeth. However, there he was, a pitiful mess, missing limbs, reduced to nothing more than a wild animal yapping away. 'Revenge isn't just about drawing blood. It's about breaking the spirit.' I thought. I did just that, letting him in on the will Thomas left me, my rejection of Wynnie, and my upcoming marriage to my new fiancee. I was on top of the world, while he was nothing but a gutter maggot. If only he had not come after me, the Cunninghams might have spared him. However, his greed knew no bounds.

“She got hooked on drugs, her mind barely holding together. She often hallucinated. She was either found raving or weeping, but one thing was for sure, she kept repeating Vincent’s name and yours. “About three days after Vincent was executed, she was found drowned near a remote pier in the port.” I listened quietly, my eyes darting to the Alps outside the window. The year-round snow was pure and untainted. One fell to the weight of the law, ruined and disgraced. The other lost herself in quiet despair, silent and unseen. This ending, more than any dramatic death, showed life’s harsh reality and fate’s irony. “Is everything cleared?” I asked. “Yes, Ms. Mancini. Evelyn and everything tied to t

Finally, she nodded faintly. “All right,” she said quietly. “Ask your questions.” Dennis began gently, jotting notes as she spoke. Her responses were direct, clipped, heavy with exhaustion.

His eyes widened in admiration as he carefully pulled out the novel I’d been reading—Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations. Before I could respond, Eleanor's voice from my phone hit my ear–I realized she had already picked up the call.

He was even supportive when I became an atheist. I sat by his side when he was on his death bed. He never asked for much. But on that day, he asked me to pray with him. I love him, so I complied. I closed my eyes, clasped my hands, and prayed (for the last time). I had prayed that my uncle will be happy again. And that he'll be free from pain. When I opened my eyes, he was smiling at me.
