"No! I am innocent! I didn't do all of those things, it was all Lily's idea! Let me go-You have to believe me!" cried Vicky, as she was forcibly taken into the police car. The moment Vicky was caught she immediately ran out of the room but was caught by a furious Sebastian.
Miguel called the police and gave all the evidence, the video and recording, to them. The video was taken from Sebastian. Once he was able to leave the ballroom, in search of Sasha, he found Vicky walking somewhere. He noticed that she was always looking back as if making sure no one followed her. Sebastian thought it was suspicious so he wanted to quickly follow and found her talking to the paparazzi man. He wanted to berade her with questions but decided to take a picture of it instead, and go back to look for Sasha. He thought whatever she was doing, it was none of his business, until he found Sasha..and she told him everything.
"I want this to be as district as possible," said Miguel to an officer. It was a bad idea to arrest Vicky in front of everyone and ruin the hotel's party. I knew how the boss may have our heads for ruining his party with his investors and important people.
So when the police arrived, they took Vicky away at the back of the hotel and told us that tomorrow morning, we should come to the station for questioning.
"Are you okay? I can't believe this happened to you," said Sebastian with a worried expression. I lightly smiled at Sebastian, grateful for his worry. As Sebastian was talking to me, well probing me with numerous of questions, my eyes met Miguel, who was behind Sebastian.
My heart shook for a moment when I saw the way his eyes softened. He gave me his signature smile and walked away.
I didn't hear at all what Sebastian was saying and was only focused at Miguel, who strangely for a moment stopped, and said something to Lily. Lily eye's widened and tears began falling from her eyes. I was about to go to defend Lily but before I could, she gave Miguel a big smile and bowed. After that, he went inside and didn't glance at my direction.
"Sasha? Sasha? Sasha?!" asked Sebastian trying to get my attention.
"Oh! Sorry, what were you saying?" I asked, once I got back to myself.
Sebastian eyed me weirdly, looked back for a moment and frowned at me.
"Well I think you should go home right now. I'll talk with your manager and explain to him what happened. Although, I don't think absolutely no one heard the way Vicky screamed like a banshee as she was getting arrested," joked Sebastian.
I giggled at his joke which resulted in Sebastian giving me his pearly white smile.
"We'll get going now. Your presence is not needed," he added.
"Ok. You should go back to the party. Bye," I said and headed inside. After explaining everything, to the now horrified and furious manager because of what Vicky did, I got ready to leave. Before I left, I noticed Lily who was typing vigorously on her phone.
"Lily?" I called out. She lifted her head and met my eye.
"Yes?" she answered.
"I want to ease your worry and promise you that tomorrow at the station I will definitely tell them you were not part of the plan Vicky did, okay?"
Lily eye's watered and overcome with joy, she jumped and gave me a squeezing hug.
"Thank you so very much. You both are so kind and generous people," she sniffed and smiled.
'Both? What does she mean by that?' I thought and a memory of Miguel telling her something crossed my mind. 'I wanted to ask her but decided against it. Whatever Miguel does or says is really none of my business,' I scolded myself.
I nodded and left the hotel. I called Alex who picked me up and we drove home. I looked out at the window and mentally sighed. Now I have to tell Alex and hope this incident will be forgotten and Vicky rots in jail.

"Okay Miss Sasha Amelia Jo-"
I cut the officer. "Sasha Amelia, no Johnson included," I clarified.
The officer sighed and nodded. I was currently in the office of a police officer being told to repeat everything that happened.
He looked to be a middle aged man. He was short in height with a pork belly. He had a brown, thick, messy beard as if something lived inside there and brown eyes.
He wrote on his paper and asked once again, "Are you sure Lily Christene did not have anything to do with what happened to you?"
I mentally sighed and said the same thing. "Like I told you, Vicky knew that Lily was in a need of money badly and would do anything for it so she thought she could use her in her plans, however Lily sees me as a close friend and she would never backstab me. She pretended like she went along with Vicky's plan and told me everything. We decided to let the plan continue in order to get proof. That's it. Lily was not at all involved in what happened to me. What I do know is that Mr Richard was, but he is'nt locked up like Vicky?" I leaned closer and crossed my legs, "Why is that?" I asked.
The officer nervously chuckled and didn't want to meet my eye. Once I said everything, I left the station.
I was so furious. Vicky was in jail, which was great, but the old man wasn't. Even though the evidence clearly shows him as an accomplice, he defended himself by saying Vicky, a girl way younger than him, manipulated and tricked him.
I never thought that money could even corrupt police's who are supposed to be righteous.
I met Alex at the parking lot. He was leaning on his car with his hands stuffed in his pocket. He had a serious expression on his face.
"So how was it?" he asked and opened the door for me.
"Horrible. I think you should be the one to do this for me. It's a shame you can't because you can't take a personal case," I grumbled in my seat.
Alex nodded and readied the car. "I guess the dirty old man will be scott free," Alex clenched the wheel, his knuckles turning white, "I detest guys like him and cops who help them just because they have money," he gritted.
I nodded in agreement. The situation of what Vicky did, once the party was over, reached everyone's ears. The boss however, because Mr Richard was his close friend, did not even have the decency to kick him out of the hotel at least.
Alex sighed and patted my head. "Don't worry. I'll pull some strings for him to be investigated and sent to jail."
I quickly shook my head. "No. Thanks for trying to help, but I don't want to cause trouble," I answered.
"But-"
"No," I firmly said. Alex inventualy agreed. Alex looked at me from the corner of his eyes. "I know that Sebastian and Lily helped you but who was the third guy? From what Lily told me, he saved you and that you were familiar with each other," asked Alex.
I frowned. "We are not familiar with each other. He was just a kind man who helped me at the time. I probably won't see him again. He is a complete stranger," I answered and made sure my face did not betray I was lying. Alex could detect lies by body language and expression, he wasn't a detective for no reason.
Alex stared and nodded. I didn't want to tell Alex at all that he was the man who helped me when I was pregnant and who left me...and who I fell in love with. Past tense, right?

A man with a black tuxedo was seated on a fancy, looking black couch with red wine in hand. He radiated a predator arua as if he was waiting to eat his prey. The prey, unfortunately was the old man who was kneeling in front of him.
"What did I tell you to do," said the man.
The old man who was kneeling stuttered, "I-I should go to the po-police and confess that I was involved."
"Good. You may leave," said the man.
The old man clapped his hand together in a pleading sign.
"Please Sir, forgive me. If I do this me and my family will be ruined. I didn't know that she was yours. If I knew I would have never-"
The handsome young man threw the glass of wine at the old man. It hit the wall but the shattered glass scraped the old man's cheek causing it to bleed.
The old man felt like he would pee right there and then.
The handsome man crossed his legs and smirked. "So you think it's alright to do this to others girl's. To use them and ruin them for your own gains or satisfaction as if they were your toys?" he dryly asked, his expression dead blank.
The old man vigorously shook his head.
"Good. My men will take you to the police station. They will watch you to make sure you do what you are supposed to do. If not...you already know what will happen, right?"
The old man nodded. The young man glanced at the door. Two bulky tall men entered. The old man screeched when he saw them. They dragged the wailing old man out. He wished that he never ever listened to what Vicky said, but now it was too late.
The young man watched as the door closed. "Well that was something," chuckled a man that stood beside him.
The young handsome man looked out at his window and smiled. It was a beautiful full moon, a beautiful night.
