My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

At the hospital.

I laid on the hospital bed. After Hendrix had left, Aaron came over and held my hand. "Getting smarter, aren't you? Setting yourself as bait to catch Calvin, are you trying to cut short your own life?"

With a faint smile, I lifted my hand that was wrapped up in bandages, and said, "It's just some scratches. After all, the goal had been achieved, am I right?"

He smirked. "If Uncle Charles and I weren't in Ucrebury, how did you plan to save yourself? Without any power, do you think that Calvin would be afraid of your husband who is only a businessman?" I shrugged. "Aren't all of you here? I won't even dare to take such a risk if you guys weren't here with me."

I paused and asked, "What will happen to Calvin now?"

Aaron then told me, "He would either be sentenced to the death penalty or prison for life. He's bearing the loss of a few people's lives. Previously, when he was in Ucrebury, he had Arnold behind his back to protect him.

Now that Uncle Charles intervened in this matter, he has reported all of Calvin's wrongdoings. Arnold probably won't be able to get away so easily. Uncle Charles had a chance to hold a rein on the Moore family because of your move."
