The drive to the police station was a blur one. Colton's mind raced as he tried to come up with a plan to save himself and his father. He knew that the evidence against them was strong, but he refused to go down without a fight. He hissed each time he felt the harsh pains of the bruises he got, probably from the helicopter's wreckage. His father was in a separate car coming behind them. He just couldn't believe that he had been caught. What would this mean for him, for his name, his company? "Hey, you know, you surprise me Colton. I always admired you. Who would've known that you are simply a crooked twisted man?" Officer Don broke the silence in the car speaking with Colton as he stared into the mirror. Colton didn't give a reply. He really didn't know what to say. He couldn't even look at himself in the mirror placedin the car. His own eyes sometimes scared him. No one, absolutely no one had seen him this way, except his dad and Beatrix. "I have to admit though, y
Jameson arrived at the police station to meet Ethan, who was still under detention. As he approached the interrogation room, he could see Ethan's face through the small window on the door. It was clear that Ethan had been through a lot, and Jameson felt a sense of guilt wash over him. He knew that he had betrayed Ethan by sharing confidential information with Colton, but he was also determined to make things right. "Hey, Ethan," Jameson said as he entered the room. "How are you holding up?" Ethan looked up and gave him a weak smile. "I've been better, to be honest," he said. "But I'm hanging in there. Honestly though, it sucks here!" Jameson laughed calmly. "What did you expect? To be caged in a paradise? Haha." He managed to force out a smile to cheer Ethan, but Ethan sensed something was not okay. "I'll kill you man. You laugh at me huh? It's hell in here. You just don't know. And what's with you? You look sad" Colton cried out jestly, then he made a serious face..
Colton was escorted to the interrogation room, where the detective, a middle-aged man with a stern look, sat waiting for him. The room was small and had only one table and two chairs. Colton was instructed to sit in one of the chairs while the detective sat on the other side of the table. The detective introduced himself as Detective Peterson and asked Colton if he knew why he was there. Colton nodded and looked around the room, trying to avoid eye contact with the detective. Having a wierd eye made him feel somewhat embarrased. He wondered how the detective managed to look into his eyes easily. Detective Peterson cleared his throat and began asking questions. "So, Mr. Blake, you've been charged with kidnapping Beatrix Winston. Is that correct?" Colton looked at the detective and took a deep breath. "Yes, that's correct," he replied. The detective leaned forward and asked, "Can you tell me why you did it?" Colton hesitated for a moment. He thought of framing a lie. If
The sun slowly sank towards the horizon, casting a warm golden light across the sky. As it descended, the light intensified, painting the clouds in shades of pink, orange, and deep red. The sky above the New Hilton police station was a canvas of colors, with the setting sun creating a magical atmosphere that captivated the senses. As the sun gradually disappeared below the horizon, the sky transformed into a stunning display of colors. The clouds glowed in brilliant hues of pink and purple, casting a soft, warm light that illuminated the streets of the city below. The buildings and skyscrapers surrounding the hotel were silhouetted against the fiery sky, creating a dramatic and breathtaking panorama. The air was warm and still, with the only sound being the distant hum of the bustling city below. The sky was a canvas of colors, with the setting sun casting a golden light across the cityscape, transforming the mundane into a magnificent display. The skyline looked like a majestic
"Daddy, daddy, aunt Meg." Nancy and her sister ran and hugged their father and then greeted aunt Meg. As their hands intertwined and encircled their father's legs, everywhere went silent. Zach shut his eyes and breathed in and out heavily. He missed this. Heissed his kids. It had just been a few weeks, but Zach felt like he was away from his kids, his wife, for a long long time. No doubt Zach loved his family. Everyone knew this, even grandma Lois who stood there contemplating what was going on. Megan stared into Lois's eyes, but she quickly threw them away. She could not face her. When Meg was still very little, Lois always paid her mother a visit along with little Kristien. Overtime, the two girls grew strong bond and became the bests of friends. On the night before Kristien got married to Zach, Meg kept crying, telling her not to go away. Getting married would simply separate them. While Kristien tried consoling her friend with a hug, she percieved a farmilia
The last few days had been a living hell for Ethan. He had lost everything he held dear - his small job, his reputation, his freedom, and worst of all, his sweetheart Amanda. He hated the prison. Ethan was shocked. The only person who called him Buen hijo was…. Ethan turned back and gasped in bewilderment. "Mama?! Papa?!!!" He rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was hallucinating, but as the couple came closer, he realized that it was his parents. He had not seen them in years since they stayed in Mexico. He didn't even know how they knew where he was. His mother rushed towards him and hugged him, tears streaming down her face. "Hijo, we are here for you," she said in Spanish. Ethan was overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events. He had been so focused on clearing his name that he had forgotten about his parents. "What were you thinking hijo? What were you thinking?" His mother ranted. Ethan had eloped some muscles and beard and he he was looking more defined than before. It
Nancy called, but her mother did not respond.. She was probably busy with work. So, she dropped a message. "Hello mommy, it's me Nancy. Daddy's here with Aunt Meg an they want to take us to Chicago. Please come back home mom so we can all stay together. Call me when you see this." She said and hung up the call, then, she went to the garden to sit with her parrot. Smart girl huh? "Nancy come back here and open this door. C'mon sweetie. Daddy needs to leave now!" Zach said and banged on the door gently. Zach walked to and fro in the sitting room with his hands around his waist. He didn't know what to do. He didn't want to face his wife. She was a tough woman and may end up disgracing him again. He wanted to just let her be for some time. He looked at Meg who was now sitting on a little stool besides the kitchen counter, then he walked up to Granny Lois. "Are the other doors locked? I must leave now mother!" "What is wrong with you Zach? What has gotten over you? Is there som
"Amanda, where are you? We need to see now!" ************* Amanda just got off the call after she had finished speaking with Kristien. It left her visibly shaken. Ethan immediately noticed the change in her demeanour. He could see the fear in her eyes, and he knew something was amiss. Ethan had promised that no more harm would come to her right in front of everyone. This was the first way he would be needing to prove it, so he asked, "What's wrong, Miss? Who was that?" Jameson stepped forward to be part of the conversation while Mr. Albert and his wife simply stood behind the scene waiting for Ethan's next move. They didn't really give a good proper home training to their kids, but to some extent, he was taught to obey. Yet, Ethan had just clearly said No to his parents' demand. Amanda paused for a moment, contemplating whether to share with Ethan or not. He had just ignored his parents'request because of her. If she tells him…... But Ethan's gaze was so sincere that she
