The Wrong Woman

The living room was unsettlingly silent. The clock on the wall showed it was 12:30 am.

Sienna looked at Felix, who sat quietly with his head down, then turned to Shelly, who seemed to have calmed down.

Sienna's heart felt heavy, making it difficult to catch her breath. The tension in the house was overwhelming, almost pushing her to the edge of madness. "Mom, Felix was tricked into this. We need to involve the police," Sienna urged.

She took a deep breath before continuing, "My boyfriend works in anti-drug enforcement, but his job doesn't put us in danger. Please try to understand "

Shelly interrupted, her voice filled with anger, "Those criminals targeted Felix because of your boyfriend. They wouldn't have done this otherwise. Can't you see how serious this is?" Sienna hung her head, unable to reply. Her heart throbbed with pain.

Felix hesitantly asked, "Sienna, is what Mom said is true? When did you start seeing a cop? Did Clement trick me into that two-million-dollar debt because of your boyfriend?" Sienna grew frustrated with Felix. If it weren't for his foolishness and greed, they wouldn't be in this mess.

The living room grew quiet.
