The the sun dipped below the horizon, Warren realized the day had slipped away from him. Hours had melted into the smoky haze of the bar, where he’d been engrossed in card games and lively banter with the patrons. Laughter and clinking glasses had filled the air, and time had become an afterthought. Stepping out into the cool night, he fumbled for his phone, its screen glowing faintly in the dim streetlight. No messages from Cassandra. Earlier that day, she’d left him at the bar with little explanation, only a cryptic promise to “make it up to him.” Her absence stung, leaving a knot of frustration in his chest.

And now, even her lawyer, her last hope, had abandoned her. "You must plea for insanity," her lawyer urged, his voice laced with a mix of sympathy and resignation. "It's your only chance. Even if you didn't commit the murder. No way you're getting out of this without solid evidence" "Please, consider it", her lawyer added persuasively. But Olivia refused everything due to her determination fueled by her innocence. "I didn't do it," she insisted, her voice firm like a diamond. "I won't lie and say I'm insane. I want to prove my innocence. Eddy and Lilith framed me. They've never liked me, maybe because they want fathers wealth". "Will you bring your voice down, that's some serious allegation there when you have no evidence", her lawyer, Mr Wilson cut her off. With that he sighed, shaking his
