"I can already smell our freedom," Vanessa declared with excitement as she adjusted her hair.

"I know, love. Soon, all of this will be a thing of the past!"

Just as they were nearing the exit, they spotted a barricade with about ten patrol cars blocking the street.

""What the-1"

"Frederick..."

"Pull over now!" one of the officers shouted.

"Tch..." Frederick wasn't about to comply. He executed a dangerous U-turn, steering back into the city. The sound of sirens blared behind them, making it clear they were being pursued.

"My love, what do we do?" Vanessa asked, her voice filled with panic. Bullets began to strike the vehicle. "Those bastards won't catch us," Frederick declared, swerving the car from side to side to make the officers miss their shots.

The officers fired at them, aiming to puncture their tires. But with the speed they were traveling, their aim was off. "Frederick, watch out..."

"Calm down, I'm taking a shortcut to throw them off," he said, glancing at the clock. "We've got ten minutes before we lose. Don't think this sneaky trick will work, Vox. I will win," he told himself, pressing the accelerator even harder.

He sought out a faster, shorter route to another street leading out of the city, but noticed two patrol cars still tailing him. He took a risk and entered a narrow alley, causing the car's side mirrors to shatter and sparks to fly from friction against the walls. One patrol car followed him into the alley while the other tried to block him from the other end.

""Frederick!"

"Be quiet! You're distracting me," he shouted, trying to accelerate even faster to get out of the alley.

As he emerged, the other patrol car was just about to block their path but couldn't. Frederick brushed against the vehicle, and without slowing down, he sped away.

The patrol car was left in a bad position, blocking the alley's exit and causing the following car to crash

into it.

Frederick glanced in the rearview mirror, laughing as he saw their defeat.

"Haha, I won! No one can beat me! Ahahaha!"

Just then, a loud alarm blared, signaling that only ten seconds remained to win.

""Frederick!"

Frederick was about to complain, but seeing Vanessa pointing ahead, he turned his gaze to the road and

saw they were mere meters from a large tree they could no longer avoid.

In desperation, Frederick slammed the brakes, but they didn't respond.

He tried again, realizing they were failing, but there was nothing left to do. He braced himself, covering his face with his hands as the car crashed head-on into the massive tree. As the impact occurred, everyone watching the scene celebrated.

"My love, I hope you're watching this. Soon, they will suffer three times more than what you and our daughter endured the day you died," Nicholas said, taking a sip of his wine. Nicholas hadn't attended the trial because he was preparing everything for the proceedings that would take place after the trial.

He knew Christian would win the trial, but he wasn't satisfied with just knowing they'd be locked away for life.

No...

He wanted these wretches to suffer the same way he'd silently suffered for not protecting his beloved. That's why when Brandon contacted him for help with his plans, he accepted immediately. Because he, too, wanted to torture them, to make them pay for everything they had done and more... to the point where they would wish for their own deaths.
