Hudson asked instinctively, “Which photo?”

Kevin hesitated for a heartbeat. “The one from the estate. The one your grandfather saw.”
Buzz-
Hudson’s mind went blank for a split second, a high-pitched ringing in his ears.
A void of static seemed to consume him.
Before he could snap out of it, his phone rang-it was the guards following Amara.
“Mr. Walter, Ms. Hoyt’s house is surrounded. People are pelting the villa with rotten eggs!”
Hudson’s pupils contracted as he bolted from his chair.
“Control the situation! I’m on my way!”
He hung up and ordered Kevin to drive to the Riverside District immediately.
An hour later, they arrived at the neighborhood.
A crowd had surrounded Amara’s gate, hurling disgusting insults at the house.
“Homewrecker! Shameless fox!”
“You’re going straight to hell for destroying a family!”
“You had the guts to sleep with him, now show your face!”
Hudson’s jaw set in a hard line of fury, but then a sharp, panicked scream pierced the air.
“Ah!!!”
“Look! There’s someone on the roof!”
“Someone is going to jump!”
On the rooftop.

Hudson stood with the police at the edge of the perimeter.
Amara was perched precariously on the railing, her body swaying in the wind.
“Amara.”
Hudson tried to soothe her frantic state.
“Come down. We can fix this together. Don’t be impulsive.”
Amara’s eyes were bloodshot and wild, her face a mask of total devastation.

“Fix what? Our photo is everywhere! Everyone is hunting me! They’re at my own front door!”
Her voice was jagged with sobs, tears falling uncontrollably.
“I’m ruined. I can’t even imagine what they’ll say to Cortney at school because of me.”
Hudson took a cautious step toward her.
“Let me handle the fallout. I can fix everything.”
Amara shook her head, leaning even further over the edge.
“I wanted to believe you, but you’ve doubted every word I’ve said lately…”
She turned her body, looking down at the pavement below.
“I should have died with Ronald. At least he believed in me without question.”
Hudson’s heart jumped to his throat at her movement.
“I believe you, Amara! I’ve always believed in you!”
A hidden glint of triumph flickered in her eyes as she scooted slightly inward.
“Then tell me isn’t it a coincidence that this happened right after Jade’s family attacked me? You still think she didn’t do it?”
Hudson’s brow furrowed in a deep, agonizing scowl.
“Amara, I need time to investigate the source-”

“No!”
Amara’s voice turned into a shrill, piercing shriek.
“I want to see Jade! I want to ask her to her face if she did this!”
Hudson’s frown deepened, and Amara pushed him to the edge.
“If you don’t bring her to me, I’m jumping right now.”
In the next second, she shifted her weight as if to let go.
Hudson’s heart hammered as he took a reflexive step forward, finally surrendering.
“I’ll have someone bring her here immediately!”

Jade stepped off her flight and took a taxi directly to her apartment.
As she exited the car, she was surprised to see Michael waiting for her.
She knit her brows watching as Michael spotted her and came running over.
He grabbed her arm, his voice frantic and urgent.
“Jade! Hudson had Cindy and Robert arrested! You have to go to him and make him let them go!”
Jade hadn’t even processed how he knew her location or her flight time before his words began to batter her.
Seeing that he was trying to drag her toward the curb, she snapped back and wrenched her arm free.
“How do you know I live here? How did you know I was landing now?”
“This is your mother’s place, isn’t it? Where else would you go after leaving the Walters?”
Michael had known about the apartment for years and had always wanted it, but the trust agreement had blocked him.
“And I went to your studio and demanded to know when you were back. It took a lot of effort!”
