"Damn it! Who exactly is the person behind all this? Why are those damn cops turning on me?" Diego threw the bottle against the wall, sending its contents scattering across the floor. His face turned red as his jaw tightened. His eyes glared around the room. The man pulled his hair back and then screamed at the top of his lungs. Diego threw the items on the table and then kicked the objects near his feet. The man felt frustrated when he remembered what had happened that morning. His name and company had been destroyed in an instant in the public eye after that incident. He almost lost everything. Diego moved to the balcony as he regained control.
