Tonight, we bring you a shocking development in the mysterious death of a young woman, Ava, who worked at the renowned Delish Delight company. Ava's lifeless body was discovered earlier today at the prestigious Skyview Height Hotel, sending shockwaves through the community." [Cut to a photo of Ava, smiling] [News Anchor] "Ava, a dedicated employee at Delish Delight, was attending a company meeting at the hotel when tragedy struck. The prime suspect in this case is none other than the CEO of Delish Delight, Mr. Daniel Hernandez. Authorities believe that Ava's connection to the company meeting makes Mr. Daniel a person of interest." [Cut to a photo of Mr. Daniel Hernandez] [News Anchor] "Mrs. Linda, a prominent figure in the culinary industry, has built Delish Delight into a global brand known for its delectable treats. Which has recently been taken over by his son Daniel Hernandez. However, tonight, his reputation hangs in the balance as investigators delve into the circumstances surrounding Ava's untimely demise." [Grand Manor] In the heart of the bustling city, amidst the towering skyscrapers and bustling streets, stood the largest house ever built. This architectural marvel, known as the Grand Manor, was a testament to opulence and grandeur. Its exterior was adorned with intricate carvings, towering pillars, and expansive windows that allowed sunlight to dance upon its walls. As one stepped inside the Grand Manor, they were immediately greeted by a sense of awe and majesty. The foyer was adorned with a magnificent chandelier, casting a warm glow upon the marble floors. The walls were adorned with priceless artwork, depicting scenes from a bygone era. A grand staircase, fit for royalty, led to the upper floors, inviting exploration. Amidst the grandeur of the Grand Manor, a flurry of activity could be observed. Servants, dressed in crisp white and black uniforms, moved with precision and grace, attending to their various tasks. The air was tense, as if an unspoken tension lingered between them. Each servant had their designated role, from the maids who meticulously cleaned every corner of the house to the butlers who ensured the smooth running of the household. Despite the tension, the servants worked diligently, their footsteps muffled by the plush carpets that adorned the hallways. They moved with an air of professionalism, their dedication to their duties evident in their every action. The Grand Manor was a well-oiled machine, with each servant playing their part in maintaining its grandeur. Beyond the entrance hall, the living area awaited, serving as a sanctuary of comfort and elegance. Mrs. Linda, the head of the household, sat on a plush velvet sofa, her gaze fixed on the television screen. The living area boasted luxurious furnishings, ranging from intricately carved wooden tables to velvet drapes that gracefully hung from the windows. Adorning the walls were family portraits, showcasing Mrs. Linda and her son. The space exuded tranquility, with soft music playing in the background and the scent of fresh flowers permeating the air. Mrs. Linda's attention remained fixed on the news, her heart filled with worry as she watched a report about her son, who had recently joined a company. Frustrated, she angrily tossed the TV remote onto the glass table and reached for a glass of water, taking a sip. She witnessed her 25 years of hard work seemingly going to waste before her eyes. Instead of heading straight to the office, I decided to make a detour to my mother's house to retrieve some important files. I parked my car in front of the impressive Grand Manor and stepped out, playfully tossing the key into the air. As the key twirled above me, a surge of happiness coursed through my veins. The previous night spent with Sarah had been nothing short of magical, and the memories we had created together after months apart were etched in my mind like a beautiful painting. Unlocking the massive wooden doors, I stepped into the opulent foyer, the soft glow of the chandeliers casting a warm and inviting ambiance. The familiar scent of polished wood and fresh flowers filled the air, welcoming me home. As I climbed the majestic staircase, I noticed my mother seated in the living area, engrossed in watching the news on TV. I pondered what events would unfold in the early morning. Approaching my mother, I greeted her with a loud "Good Morning" to ensure she was aware of my presence. The sound of my voice reverberated throughout the house, causing my mother to shoot me an angry glance before returning her attention to the news, which happened to be discussing our company. Overnight, the reputation of Delish Delight company had plummeted so drastically that it became the sole topic of conversation among news anchors. [TV news] [Cut to footage of police cars outside the hotel] [News Anchor] "Law enforcement officials arrived at the Skyview Height Hotel earlier today, responding to a distress call from hotel staff who discovered Ava's lifeless body in her hotel room. The cause of death remains unknown at this time, pending the results of the ongoing investigation." [Cut to Interview: Detective] [Detective Paul] Our investigation is still in its early stages, but all evidence points towards Mr. Daniel Hernandez as the prime suspect. Ava was last seen entering the hotel for a company meeting, shortly before her death. "What are you watching in the early morning, Mom?" I asked her casually, unaware of her frustration. Instead of responding, she posed a question to me, "Why haven't you gone to the office yet?" I sighed and replied, "I was just about to, Mom, but then I remembered the file you mentioned during yesterday's meeting, so I came here to retrieve it." [Cut to Footage] [Mr. Daniel Hernandez's penthouse view] [Inside view of penthouse] [News Anchor] Adding fuel to the fire, a photograph has emerged showing another woman sleeping in Mr. Daniel Hernandez's penthouse shortly after his return from Sydney. The image has raised questions about his involvement with multiple women and potential motives for Ava's murder. [Cut to Interview: Legal Expert] [Legal Expert Smith] This photograph certainly raises eyebrows and could be seen as a motive for the CEO to harm Ava. However, it's important to remember that we must not jump to conclusions. The investigation is ongoing, and all evidence must be thoroughly examined before any judgments are made. "What is this?" I asked angrily, my eyes red as I stared at the TV screen in disbelief, seeing my mom's angry face staring back at me. I stood there, my anger simmering inside me, as I fixed my gaze on the TV screen. The feeling of disbelief washed over me like a tidal wave, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of frustration. How did they obtain Sarah's pictures? I wondered, my mind filled with questions. But then, another thought pierced through the chaos, cutting through my thoughts like an arrow. "Why didn't Ava know about the meeting cancellation?" My mother's voice echoed in the room, her accusatory tone adding fuel to the fire. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. How could she question me like that? Wasn't it clear that I had received a message from Ava at 10 o'clock, informing me about the cancellation? I grabbed my phone and thrust it in front of them, the message from Ava glaring back at us, serving as evidence of my truth. "What kind of question is this, mother?" I snapped, surprise lacing my voice. "Is Ava my secretary, or am I hers? I am not responsible for her lack of knowledge. I did my part, and I received the message. How could I possibly have informed her?" Silence hung in the air, the weight of my words sinking in. The cancellation of the meeting had caused a storm of confusion and miscommunication, and I was caught in the middle of it all. But I refused to let their doubts overshadow the truth. I had done everything I could, and it was time for them to acknowledge that. [Closing Shot: Newsroom] [News Anchor] As the investigation into Ava's death unfolds, we will continue to bring you the latest updates. Our thoughts and condolences go out to Ava's family and friends during this difficult time. Stay tuned to Spread News Tv Channel for more on this developing story. Goodnight. My mother's frustration was evident as she tightly clenched her fists. Her golden brown eyes stared intensely into mine, reflecting a combination of anger and disappointment. I could feel that something was deeply troubling her, something beyond my comprehension, causing her eyes to change color. Suddenly, my eyes reverted from red to black, and all the anger vanished in an instant. "Son, do you have any idea how this will affect the company?" she asked, her voice laced with a tinge of bitterness. Caught off guard by her sudden change in tone, I stammered, "Um, I really know, Mom. But I've been so caught up with my own work and personal life." Her frustration turned into a heavy sigh as she slumped into a nearby chair. "The company's reputation has taken a nosedive, and it's all over the news. Scandals, murder, unethical practices... it's a complete mess, and I can't believe I've been associated with it for so long." I felt a pang of guilt wash over me. How could I have been so oblivious to the turmoil surrounding the company my mother had dedicated her life to? I had always admired her for her hard work and dedication, but now I realized the weight she carried on her shoulders. Upon seeing my silence, she spoke with a commanding tone, as if issuing an order, "You must solely focus on the business while I handle this police case." Her gaze remained fixed on the screen before her, displaying a picture of Detective Paul and Ava together. "I will never allow you to be arrested." "Alright, Mom, I'm running late, so I'll head to the office," I kissed her forehead before leaving the living area. I am confident that I did not kill her. I closed my eyes tightly as the color of my eyes changed. "I will never allow Detective Paul to tarnish our family name and our company, no matter the cost," she declared with determination. Daniel was the primary suspect in these atrocious crimes. Despite the mounting evidence against him, Mrs. Linda was resolute in protecting her son at any expense. Blinded by her unconditional love for him, she believed in his innocence. Knowing how to manipulate the justice system, she ensured that her son would never face the consequences of his actions. She picked up the phone and dialed a number.
