Ciara tried to defend herself, "Don't believe her, Joel. She's making things up to slander me." "I'm slandering you?" I retorted incredulously, taking out the complaint letter from my bag. I then stated, "This is the complaint letter you wrote back then. My dad feared that I wouldn't believe him, so he gave it to me. I was afraid Joel would accidentally come across it, so I kept it with me at all times. As for the supposed fraudulent clinic abroad, that's easy to investigate with a single call." As Joel read the contents of that letter, his eyes instantly became bloodshot. He found it hard to believe that the truth was so ugly and unsettling.

No one knew the reason for their conflict or how it started, but one thing was clear: one wrong move, and the third global war would start. I was in the living room watching TV and decided to take a shower. I got to the bathroom and started filling the tub and putting some shampoo in there so it could create some bobbles.

I say this as I try to keep my body hidden in the water. Thankfully, the bo

I had finally changed my fate completely in this life. As I walked out of the bureau, sunlight poured over me. It was warm and gentle. Wynnie followed behind me numbly.

Each ring echoed loudly in his ears, stretching time painfully. His grip tightened around the device. He swallowed hard. The ringing continued as his heartbeat grew heavier with each passing second. “Pick up…” he murmured softly, almost pleading. Then, the line clicked.

Reality struck him so hard that tears rolled down his cheeks. “Laurel, I’m so sorry. I was so wrong. I shouldn’t have hurt you. I shouldn’t have given our money away or yelled at you… You’re the only person who truly ever cared. “Can we get back together? I promise to treat you right. You can handle all the money.

The group surged forward, feet hitting the pavement in rhythm.
