The knife sank deep into Marion’s right abdomen, blood seeping through his clothes.

“Freeze!” A group of police officers stormed in from behind, quickly surrounding Juan in a tight circle.

Juan raised his hands in surrender, but his gaze locked onto Debra, who was nervously tending

to Marion,

Debra glared at him. “Juan, are you out of your mind?”

She had imagined a thousand ways he might come after her, but she never thought he’d resort to such a crude and desperate attempt to kill her.

Juan sneered, “Shame I didn’t kill you. But at least I’ve settled the score with Marion for the stab he gave me.

“Take him away!” The police hauled Juan off to a waiting squad car.

Paramedics rushed up quickly. Marion glanced at Debra, who was worried sick. He reached up to ruffle her hair and managed a weak smile. “I’m fine. It’s just a scratch.”

“The knife was in your gut. Why did you follow me, you idiot?”

Debra smacked him on the shoulder. Marion’s strength faltered, and he dropped to one knee.

“Honey, your punches hurt more than the knife.

Debra was livid. He hadn’t uttered a word of pain when he was stabbed, yet now he was acting like her slap was unbearable. He was just trying to make her upset.

In the ambulance, William inspected Marion’s wound and dismissed it with a wave. “It’s nothing serious. The knife is short, and it missed anything vital. He’s fine.”

“Fine? Look at all this blood. The knife went all the way in. How is that fine?” Debra protested.

William quickly backpedaled. “Oh, this is bad. His kidney is almost injured.”

One hour later, at the Nichols Mansion, Melody freaked out at the news.

“What did you say? Juan gets arrested? What on earth happened?”

She had been uneasy all evening, and now such a thing had happened.

“Mr. Nichols has been detained,” Joe reported grimly. “The police called the company and asked us to send a lawyer.”

The call had been ill–timed. In less than a day, word would spread across the company, and soon the entire city would know Juan had been arrested.

The fallout would be disastrous for both Juan’s and the company’s reputation.

Melody sank into a chair. “He’s been laying low for days. How could this happen?”

Joe replied, “It’s said Mr. Nichols attacked someone in the middle of the night. The victim Marion.”

He hadn’t believed it when he first heard the news. Juan had no reason to go after Marion.

Melody said, “Prepare the car. I’m going to the police station to bring him back. This can’t blow up any further.”

Throwing decorum aside, she grabbed a coat and rushed out.

Juan sat in the interrogation room, his expression calm despite his predicament.

Melody stormed into the police station and demanded, “Where’s Mr. Hardy? Get him here. now!!!

One of the officers sulked, “Who let this old lady in here? This is a police station, not a place for your tantrums.”
