The Interrogation You know exactly what I want," she snapped, stepping closer to him. "I want answers. I want to know why you’re treating me like this. Why you’re pretending like I don’t matter. You asked me to marry you, Astor, but now you’re treating me like I’m invisible. What happened to the man I thought I knew?"Astor chuckled, “did you just say I asked you to marry me? You must be a joke!”Susan slammed her hand on the table close by, catching Astor's attention.Astor finally looked up, his grey eyes cold and distant. "What happened is that I made a mistake. A huge mistake. And I’m not going to apologize for it, Susan. I never should have let you manipulate me into it. I can’t be part of this anymore."Susan’s jaw tightened, and she took a step closer, her eyes narrowing. "You think you can just walk away from this? You think I’ll just let you go just like that? You lie!”Astor stood up abruptly, his chair scraping against the floor as he took a step toward her. "I don’t care

Charlotte couldn't explain her ordeal to Elaine.Charlotte’s heart raced as she stood in front of Elaine, her desperation written all over her face. The past few weeks had been a whirlwind of confusion, emotions, and unanswered questions. Now, there was one thing she needed more than anything, answers. And to get them, she needed Elaine’s help."Elaine, please," Charlotte begged, her voice tight with worry. "You have to come with me to the house. I can’t do this alone. I have to find out what really happened to my mother."Elaine sighed, clearly torn, but after a moment, her face softened with understanding. "You’re not alone, Charlotte. You never have been," she said, placing a reassuring hand on her friend's shoulder. "I’ll go with you. But let’s first drop Jasmine off at school. Then we’ll take it from there, okay?"Charlotte nodded, grateful for Elaine’s unwavering support. She didn’t know what she would do without her.As they pulled up to the school, Charlotte glanced at the cl

The Uncovery "Are you sure you want to see what’s on it?" Elaine asked cautiously, clearly concerned about what they might uncover. "What if it’s something you’re not ready for?"Charlotte didn’t answer immediately. She just stared at the small device, her heart pounding. The idea of the dash-cam recording something from the day her mother had died, it felt like a dagger to her soul. But at the same time, she needed to see the content in it."I have to see it," Charlotte said firmly, her voice almost hollow. "I have to know what happened."She tucked the dash-cam into her pocket, her mind already working through the possibilities. What if the recording was a key to understanding everything? What if it could tell her who had been with her mother that day? Who had been there when she had died?They continued searching the house, but Charlotte’s mind kept drifting back to the dash-cam, to the unanswered questions that had haunted her for years. Was this the piece of the puzzle she h

Unraveling the Truth“Wait, see this,” Elaine said, pointing at the screen just as Charlotte was turning away.Charlotte’s breath hitched as she glanced back at the footage. The screen showed when her mother took the glass of drink.She appeared fine at first, just slightly dazed as if she were getting drowsy. Then, the scene changed. The camera, likely mounted on the dashboard, captured a time-lapse of her drive. It was clear she had started feeling worse because her head swayed slightly, her fingers gripping the steering wheel a little tighter.Charlotte swallowed hard. "She was getting weaker..."Elaine nodded grimly. "It’s like whatever Natalie gave her didn’t kick in right away. But look at her face, she knew something was wrong."Charlotte clenched her jaw. Her mother had always been strong, the type of woman who didn’t complain even when things were tough. But watching her struggle in real-time made Charlotte’s stomach churn with guilt and fury. If only she had known. If onl

A Storm Unleashed“Hospital?” Astor asked, a bit skeptical.“Yes, Jasmine was admitted.“What?” Astor's voice thundered.“What.. what hospital?” He stuttered, a little disorganized and air headed.“Faith Hospital..” Charlotte replied and the line went dead.Astor’s hands trembled as he shoved his phone into his pocket, his heart hammering against his ribs. Charlotte’s voice still echoed in his ears."We’re at the hospital."His breath caught in his throat. Jasmine was in the hospital.He didn’t need to ask why, he could hear the fear in Charlotte’s tone. His daughter was sick, and he wasn’t there.He tried to figure out the way Jasmine's expression would be like, how was she right now? Is she really in bad state? What could have gone wrong?Without another thought, he spun on his heel and strode toward the door. His entire focus was on getting to the hospital, on seeing Jasmine, on making sure she was safe.Brandon, his most trusted assistant, noticed the sudden shift in Astor’s demea
