"Hello," Daniel said as his smile faded into a thin line of displeasure. "I heard only Shelly was visiting you, so I thought of visiting you as a former classmate," he mocked.Michael looked up at the watch on the wall; it was almost 10 p.m., not normal hours for a visitation."I have a friend who knows someone who works here," Daniel stated.Michael's breath became ragged; if there were no bars between them, he would have not hesitated to choke the life out of the idiot."I heard George is hanging on to that useless company in exchange for your freedom?" Daniel went on mocking him.There was silence, with Michael trying by all his means not to allow his anger to get a hold of him."You just have to say the word, and I will help you persuade your father to let go of the stupid company," Daniel offered.Michael looked up at him, his anger subsiding a bit. He began wondering if there was something wrong with Daniel. Any enemy would not trade a dying company for his enemies' rotting in j

Shelly tried to open her mouth, but Daniel interrupted her. "You will not be drugging him with that stupid LSD. I have something that is capable of not destroying his mind, but he would be institutionalized," he explained.Shelly was at a loss; the more she tried to understand Daniel's plans, the more confused she became. He was definitely playing with them dangerously. However, making George insane had a lot of disadvantages on her part and Michael's."Are you in?""Ain't you close to taking us to jail? Why take George to an institution and make us pay for his stupid crimes you framed us?" She snapped at him."I don't have to justify my decision to you, but rest assured that I will get you and Michael out of this shit," he promised.Shelly chuckled; she could not believe he thought she was that stupid."The only thing entangling you in this mess is your signature, and for Michael, I only have to drop the charges," he went on to explain.Shelly took a long look at him; he was serious.

Having made Shelly believe that he was out of the country, Daniel sat next to his aunt's bed, telling her about his next phase of the plan.As far as everyone was concerned, he was in Israel visiting his aunt when, in fact, he was just in his hidden apartment for the past week plotting forward.He was very aware that Shelly was going nuts; it was only going to be days before her trial, and he wanted her to panic and see where her desperation would lead her. But him laying low was part of the plan; it was risky as he had no idea how Shelly would react, but he had plan B.Rexa had checked on George and confirmed he had enough pills to go as insane as they wanted him to go, but Daniel was waiting for the perfect moment to run him mad.His phone rang, and it was Zain; it had been a while since the two hung out."Hey dude, I heard that you were in Israel?" Zain asked.Daniel paused for a second, pondering Zain's tone. He was confirming rather than asking."Yes, I am in Israel," Daniel repl

"Sewer Rat! Sewer Rat! Sewer Rat! Sewer Rat!" George continued to scream like a lunatic, ignoring the judge.People in the courtroom were stunned as they watched George move away from his chair.As the guards began to circle George, the judge signaled them to do their jobs."Mr. Meyers, are you okay? What exactly is going on?"Shelly turned around and found Daniel with his annoying smirk; she could only assume that the drug was now working. She could see why Daniel wanted the drug to work in court. She was amazed at how he managed to time it.However, she had a role to play as the future daughter-in-law and quickly ran to George's aid, asking the guards to take their time.Now George stood shirtless in the middle of the room, accusing everyone in the room of conspiring with Daniel."George, calm down; we are in the courtroom, and please put on your shirt," Shelly began pleading."Shut up, you slut!" He yelled at her as he continued scratching.The people kept watching in shock, "I am

As Michael fixed his gaze on Shelly, the room became suffocating. He had expected her to call everything a bluff, but she was dead serious.Something haunting was in her eyes, something he had never seen before. Shelly was always a tough, no-nonsense girl who wasn't afraid to take chances. But she appeared defeated and afraid of something.Everything was simply too much for him to take in at once."Listen to me, Michael," she said, "with your father in a mental institution, this leaves you in charge, and you can trade your freedom for the sinking company and, of course, the mansion.""But… but…?""Listen to me! I am not asking you to throw in the towel; we can get Daniel later, but now all your father's crimes and debt will be ours without this deal," she went on to explain."No, no, no," Michael cried out. His father's last visit had given him so much hope. He was very sure he had found a way to get them out of the ditch. He sounded so real, and there was no sign of a man who was lo

Michael looked long and hard at her; she looked lost like she had no idea where he was. He moved closer to face her and held her hands."Please tell me you are the one that signed the consent papers?"Shelly quickly got into acting, asking, "What forms? No one gave me any forms," she lied.Michael now began panicking; he had tried calling the hospital, but there were no records of where his father was transferred to."What's going on, Michael?"."The stupid hospital has no idea where my father is!" He yelled."What... how is that possible?" Shelly asked. She couldn't remember Daniel telling her which mental hospital he was taking George to."Shelly, you were supposed to make sure you were front and center on this!" Michael yelled, irritated.Shelly was left looking away; she did not care about George, a fact that even Michael knew but she was at least supposed to know where he was admitted.Finally, the car arrived, and they drove straight to the hospital and bugged into the hospital

With his head stinging like someone had hit him with a wooden prank, George slowly opened his eyes. He held on to his head, trying to remember what happened or where he was, but his aching head was too much for him to remember.With much difficulty, he finally opened his eyes. The white walls and ceilings got his attention; he was definitely not in his room or office. He immediately ignored the aching head and got up, looking around his surroundings.The entire room was so white that it pierced his eyes. There was a tiny window in the corner of the room, and to his left was a tiny white table and a huge white door.He could feel his heart racing in his chest. He jumped out of bed when he realized the white clothes he was wearing were not the ones he had put on in the morning.He remembered putting on a black suit with his favorite lucky charm tie, not the clothes he was wearing. And neither did he remember entering the room he was in. Without hesitation, he ran to the huge door, try

Shelly quickly ran to one of the trash bags, checking to make sure the things inside weren't theirs but to her shock they were.Even though they had handed over the mansion to Daniel, they did not anticipate the transfer of ownership in one day or Daniel moving in.So they had decided to freshen up before continuing their battle to get George out of Daniel's custody, but to their shock, they stumbled on all their personal things thrown in trash bags and placed near the gate.Shelly moved from one trash bag to the other in shock. She looked up at Michael, who already had his hands clenched into fists and was ready to storm the mansion.Daniel had already noticed the two and was moving toward them with a smile. He signaled his guards, and they quickly lined up at the entrance.Michael pushed on them, but they pushed back, almost sending him to the ground."You stupid fool, show your ugly face!" Michael yelled on top of his voice.Daniel signaled his men to move."Pick up your trash and
