CHAPTER 22
The police officers stood in a small circle with Richard and Michelle while the crowd slowly settled down from the earlier commotionOne of the officers cleared his throat and looked directly at Richard.“Sir, we apologize for the misunderstanding,” he said sincerely. “Based on the recording you provided, it is clear that you were provoked and that there was harassment involved.”The second officer nodded in agreement.“We regret the inconvenience,” he added. “You handled the situation with evidence, and that makes our job easier.”Richard gave a small nod.His expression remained calm and controlled, but his eyes briefly shifted toward Michelle, as if silently asking her how she felt about everything.The first officer continued, “If you would like to press charges against Daniel and Ivanna for harassment, defamation, and filing a false report, we can proceed immediately.”Michelle stiffened slightly when she heard Daniel’s name mentioned in that context.For a moment, she considered
CHAPTER 21
The sound of sirens grew louder and louder until it drowned the noise of the amusement park rides and the music playing in the background, and within moments two police cars pulled up near the entrance of the park.The crowd parted to create space for the officers who stepped out with serious expressions and alert eyes.Apparently, Ivanna had sneakily called the police.While everyone had been focused on Richard and Daniel on the ground, she had quietly stepped aside, her fingers moving quickly over her phone screen, her voice trembling just enough to sound convincing as she reported an assault in progress and described a violent man attacking her fiancé in public.By the time the officers arrived, Daniel was still on the ground groaning dramatically while Richard stood tall and composed in front of him, and Michelle was frozen between fear and anger, unsure of what the next few minutes would bring.Two officers approached first.One of them looked at Daniel and the other looked at Ri
CHAPTER 20
A crowd gathered very quickly after Daniel fell to the ground.People gasped in surprise at the shocking scene that had just happened before their eyes, and many of them stopped walking, stopped talking, and stopped laughing as they turned their full attention toward the tall man who had just struck another man so hard that he had flown across the open space of the park like a rag doll.Some mothers quickly pulled their children closer to them.Some teenagers raised their phones and began recording.Some older men whispered among themselves and shook their heads.The once cheerful corner of the amusement park became tense and heavy within seconds.Richard’s jaw clenched tightly as he moved closer to the terrified man on the ground.Daniel had not expected that anyone would dare to hit him.He had always been the one who spoke loudly and boldly.He had always been the one who humiliated others.He had always been the one who left the scene feeling powerful.Most of all, he had never im
CHAPTER 19
A few minutes after Daniel had stormed away the first time, when Michelle had finally managed to steady her breathing and convince herself that the ugly interruption was over and that the rest of the day could still be saved for the sake of her son who was laughing loudly while trying to beat a racing game on Richard’s phone, the same man appeared again as if he had been waiting for the right moment to strike.Richard noticed him first.Daniel was walking toward them with slow and confident steps, his chin lifted high as though he owned the entire park, and this time there was no attempt to hide the sneer on his face.Richard was angry instantly.The earlier restraint he had shown began to fade, and a cold anger rose in his chest like a dark wave. In that moment, he felt an intense urge to put an end to the disturbance once and for all.Michelle saw the change in Richard’s posture and quickly touched his arm.“Please,” she whispered, her voice soft. “Let me handle this.”Richard looke
CHAPTER 18
The next morning, Richard stood beside the car while Michelle adjusted Marty's small cap. Marty could barely stand still. He kept bouncing on his toes. His small backpack hung loosely on his shoulders. His eyes were full of excitement. “Daddy, let’s go!” Marty said for the tenth time. Richard closed the car door and looked down at him. “We are going,” he said calmly. Michelle shook her head with a soft smile. “He barely slept last night,” she said. “He kept talking about the rides.” Marty nodded proudly. “I will try everything.” Richard raised a brow slightly. “Everything?” “Yes. Everything,” Marty repeated with confidence. They got into the car and drove to the amusement park. The place was already crowded when they arrived. Laughter filled the air. Children ran around with balloons tied to their wrists. Music played from hidden speakers. The smell of popcorn and sweet candy floated through the breeze. Marty gasped as soon as they walked through the large gates. “Wow,” he wh
CHAPTER 17
CHAPTER 16Richard arrived home that evening with a steady pace. The long drive had given him time to think. The city lights faded behind him as the gates opened. The house stood quiet and warm, like it had been waiting for him. As soon as he stepped inside, soft voices greeted him.Michelle came first. She wiped her hands on a kitchen towel as she walked toward him. Her eyes lit up when she saw him. Marty followed right after her, running as fast as his little legs could carry him. He wrapped his arms around Richard’s legs without hesitation.“You’re home,” Michelle said. Her voice was gentle. There was relief in it.Richard nodded and placed a hand on Marty’s head. “I am,” he said.Marty looked up at him with wide eyes and a bright grin. “Daddy,” he said with excitement.Richard froze for half a second. The word still felt strange. It felt heavy and light at the same time. He looked at Michelle, unsure how she would react. Michelle’s lips parted slightly, but she said nothing. She o
