Richard Parker

On New Year's Eve, my in-laws, Richard Prescott and Leona Reed, had flown back to have dinner at my place. However, our butler, Rupert Williams, had only prepared two plates of cold lobster rolls even though I had specifically reminded him that Leona was allergic to lobster. Rupert looked at me with his usual stiff expression and said, "Mr. Shaw, I understand that people from your background like to take advantage of situations. Your parents showing up for a free holiday meal doesn't surprise me." He added, "But as Ms. Jaclyn Prescott's most trusted butler, I have a duty to protect the Prescott family assets from being touched by questionable individuals, even if it's just a dinner. That said, I'm not heartless enough to let two elderly people go hungry. "Here are some leftover expired lobster rolls. Your parents can eat them and leave. Ms. Prescott is very busy with work, and I can't have her come home later only to deal with your poor parents." I froze for a moment, then realized he had mistaken Jaclyn's parents for mine. He was deliberately trying to humiliate me like he always did. I was about to explain when Richard and Leona, furious, turned to leave. However, Rupert called for the security guards to block their way. "I can understand that people from rural areas might lack proper manners, but wasting food is still a bad habit. Since the lobster rolls have already been prepared, I insist you finish them before you go."

Jamás olvidaré el frío despiadado de las aguas del Río Veyra. En mi vida pasada, yo era Darlena Valentino, la futura Donna de la familia Marcus, pero mi prometido, Reed Marcus, y mi prima Alice Bennett se aliaron para traicionarme. Me arrebataron mi lugar y se adueñaron de los recursos de mi familia. Al final, en plena guerra entre familias, me empujaron al borde de la muerte y me usaron como escudo. En el instante en que la bala me atravesó el pecho, vi a Reed protegiendo a Alice con todas sus fuerzas. Y Richard Corleone, mi amigo de la infancia, el hombre que siempre me había acompañado en silencio, perdió la razón y corrió hacia mí, abrazando mi cuerpo inerte mientras rugía de desesperación. Creí que aquello era un amor que había llegado demasiado tarde. Por eso, después de renacer, eché a Reed de mi vida sin dudarlo y me casé con Richard, convirtiéndome en la Donna de la familia Corleone. Pensé que por fin me había salvado, pero nunca imaginé que el destino me guardaba una crueldad aún mayor. Porque esos dos hombres, en el fondo, siempre habían amado a la misma mujer. Si al final todo iba a ser así, entonces yo también me bajaría de esta farsa llamada amor.

A series of past murders catch the attention of the police and the media. All the people who were killed were women, all of which had some sort of relationship with a well known and successful businessman named Asriel Parker. For some reason, the murders all point to him as the number one suspect and connection between them. The reasonable thing to do is to put him behind bars but there is one problem.
