She Slapped a Pregnant Woman on the Bus, Only to Find Out It’s the CEO’s Sister!

“You bitch! You tricked us onto this bus.”

“Oh, shut up. I don’t want another word out of you. You! Turn this thing around. We’re going to the airport!”

“Are you insane? The fire’s closing in! Hospital’s right there. After that, you go wherever the hell you want.”

“I don’t fucking care! You wrecked my car. We are going to the airport now!”

“This isn’t your damn bus. You don’t call the shots.”

“Shut up!”

“Hey, we missed our private flight because of you. I’m going to make you pay for it, every goddamn penny you got!”

“Turn this around now! Did you not hear me? Turn this thing around!”

“I’m going 60! Get back in your seat!”

“Hey! Don’t yell at my mom! What the hell? Hey, stop! You’re going to kill us all! The hospital—the hospital’s right there! Cut it out!”

“I would rather die than go to that dump!”

“Let him go!”

“Get your hands off me! Ma’am, I need it—bus number seven!”

“I can’t see!”

“Are you insane? Let’s go!”

“Turn it off!”

“Doc, Doc, we need a doctor! Where’s the doctor?”

“Daniel, we’re leaving now.”

“But, sir, what about the wedding venue inspection?”

“My sister is trapped at the hospital because of the wildfires. All because she wanted to surprise me one day early. We’re going.”

“It’s disgusting in this place. And there’s no service, and it smells like death in here. Jason, let Jess know where we are.”

“The bitch that tricked us, where is she?”

“Yeah, where is she? What the hell are you doing? Are you filming me?”

“No, I was checking the injury on my neck.”

“I’ve had about enough of you. Shut up.”

“You psycho. First the bus, now this. What’s your problem?”

“Don’t you point your finger at me.”

“Clear the area, please. Meds are here. Dallas Smith. William Johnson.”

“Barbara, I’ve got my gurney. I’m itching all over.”

“Oh, sweetheart, don’t you worry. Mommy will handle it. Get out of my way.”

“Go back to Hooters.”

“You, move.”

“What?”

“Can’t you see my son is sick? You’re hogging all the resources, and you’re fine.”

“Ma’am, I’m pregnant. I need to check on my baby.”

“Liar! You were fine after the crash, and you’re fine now. Quit faking it.”

“Get to the back of the line!”

“You little bitch!”

“Mom, I’ll handle this.”

“Oh, my God! Oh, no, Doug, he’s a junkie. Just stay clear. Ugh, where are the meds?”

“Ma’am, ma’am, are you okay?”

“Oh, my God! What, are you trying to kill me? Security! Someone call security!”

“Ma’am, you fell on your own.”

“You bitch! How dare you do this to my mom? Look at her! She’s hurt! Ma’am, priority treatment. Now!”

“We have to examine you before prescribing anything.”

“Examine me? Can’t you see I’m hurting all over?”

“Fuck this. I’ll take what we need.”

“Okay, these are emergency medical supplies. You cannot just take them!”

“Don’t you see? My mom is the emergency!”

“Please take a seat over there and a doctor will look at your mom shortly.”

“What? You’re going to examine me out here? Is this sterile? No private room? No VIP service? This is abuse!”

“Ma’am, please stay calm.”

“Calm my ass! You’re in my way!”

“Those are for everyone. Put them back!”

“Stop him!”

“He’s going to get them all!”

“Would you just stop it!”

“Let go of me! Hands off my son!”

“Let me go! Fine! If I can’t have them, no one can!”

“What the hell is wrong with you?”

“How dare you peasants speak to my son like that? Apologize now!”

“After almost killing us on the bus? You’re going to pay!”

“It’s her fault! She tricked us onto the bus and then she toppled over the medical stuff!”

“These are emergency medical supplies that you have been tampering with. We’ve already called the police.”

“Yeah, I got everything on camera. Enjoy jail time, bitch!”

“Shut up! I’m calling my daughter now. She will handle all of you. Yes, hurry up and get here. This is an emergency. They’re attacking us.”

“What?”

“I’ll be there in 10 minutes.”

“Mess with my family, they’re dead.”

“Why isn’t Bella answering? This damn traffic. Daniel, what’s the ETA?”

“No clue, boss. Wildfires got the entire city gridlocked.”

“Sir, it’s Miss Bella.”

“My daughter will crush you all. We wouldn’t be in this filthy hospital if we had a choice.”

“Yeah, and tell the cops that she’s the one who did this.”

“What? You cut in line and attacked me first.”

“Monsters make me sick.”

“Jessie!”

“Stop right there! Touch my family again, I dare you. Congratulations, cousins. You just signed your death warrants.”

“Who the hell is she?”

“That’s a $50,000 purse.”

“Jessie, thank God you’re finally here.”

“Nobody leaves until I figure out who humiliated my family.”

“It was her. And him. They all ganged up on Mom, especially him. He said that we were trying to steal the medicine.”

“Why would my family steal medicine? Huh? Good boy. Let this be a lesson. Everything comes with a price. Now, I can get you your medicine, but I need to see the right attitude first. The bus driver, John—he filmed everything.”

“It’s gone. I deleted it.”

“All cloud copies are scrubbed, too, ma’am.”

“You were her! She started everything!”

“What? Right, how could I forget? First, she filmed me, and then she pushed me to the ground! You!”

“Wait. You know her?”

“Sure I know her. She’s the bitch that tried to steal my fiancé!”

“What?”

“Wow. I love what you did with the place.”

“Think pink?”

“Where’s the restroom again?”

“Down the hall and to your left.”

“Thanks.”

“Hm. Let’s see who else you’ve been texting. Ha! I knew there would be something. She’s trying to steal my man.”

“No!”

“No wonder you smell like trash. You homewrecker, trying to steal my son-in-law?”

“That’s not true. Where’s your proof?”

“Happy to oblige. Everyone, here’s this bitch all over my fiancé.”

“I don’t even know who your fiancé is!”

“I took that from my fiancé!”

“Are you trying to break it? I didn’t mean to. I just wanted to see the photo.”

“Destroying evidence? Was that your plan all along?”

“Yes.”

“What?”

“Like I said, you probably can’t even remember what man you slept with.”

“No, I’m married! I didn’t sleep with anyone!”

“Married and still whoring around? What were you doing before this? Working the streets? See who wants you after this!”

“Over here!”

“Your pretty little face is different now. Time to rebalance the books.”

“I’m sorry.”

“I’m not going to kill you. I’m just going to make sure that no one ever sees your pretty little face ever again.”

“Stop! Let her go! Who called it in?”

“Sir, it was the officer.”

“This homewrecker started it.”

“She was filming me without my consent.”

“And she is the mistress who is attempting to steal my daughter’s fiancé! Arrest her!”

“Yeah, she’s the problem.”

“We’re the victims here.”

“Spare me the family drama. I came here for the hijacked bus and the property damage. Who’s responsible for that?”

“Them! We have surveillance footage and witnesses.”

“All right, boys.”

“I dare you to touch them.”

“Ma’am, step back. Obstruct me and you’re going to be in cuffs as well.”

“You’re going to arrest me?”

“Anything you say can and will be used against you.”

“Hey, Chief. Your boys want to harm me. Superintendent? The Chief wants a word.”

“It’s Superintendent Gray. Understood. Yes, sir. My apologies. It was a misunderstanding.”

“Much better.”

“Wait, Officer, what is this? You’re just going to let them go? Oh, no. Someone’s getting arrested. Her! The woman who seduced my fiancé and caused this whole mess. And everyone who messed with my family today. Apologize now! Do it, yes!”

“Stop! You can’t do this! I’ve done nothing wrong! You’re police officers. Since when do you bend the law for the rich?”

“The law? Honey, money is the law.”

“As sweet as you want, gold digger.”

“Are you tired yet? Prison. I heard you.”

“You can’t do this! Stop! I will hold you to the law!”

“Tell her.”

“She runs the Drakos media empire, future lady of the family that sells half the world’s guns and apparently owns half of this government.”

“What?”

“Holy shit! The Drakos family? They’re a cartel. They have a private army that outguns most nations.”

“This monster’s my future sister-in-law?”

“On your knees! Anyone who messed with my family, apologize now or wake up topless or dead!”

“Wait. You’re marrying Dave tomorrow?”

“Regretting your life decisions already?”

“Actually, I regret not meeting you sooner so that I could warn my brother not to marry an evil witch like you! That photo—that’s just a brother with his sister!”

“I am Bella Drakos.”

“Oh, shit! She’s a Drakos!”

“Liar! Dave doesn’t have a sister!”

“You’ll find out if I’m lying soon enough. My brother, he’s coming to pick me up right now.”

“Jessie, that’s—that’s their private regiment.”

“Could she really be Dave’s sister?”

“Fiona, do something quick.”

“Holy shit! That’s a Drakos private security vehicle!”

“I can’t believe it. So, this whole time the bride was beating up her future sister-in-law?”

“Darling Bella, of course it’s you! We’re practically like family now. Why didn’t you say so? We could have avoided this entire silly misunderstanding.”

“I would rather die than call you family. You’re not Dave.”

“Move.”

“Jasmine?”

“Mom, you good?”

“Mike, why the hell are you in Dave’s car?”

“Contract work. Boss sent me to help with fire evacuations.”

“Sweetheart, you’ve met Dave. Is that girl over there his sister?”

“Dave’s sister? No, no way she’s really here.”

“Boss, roadblock ahead. They’re not letting anyone through.”

“Tell them who the hell we are. Not sitting in traffic tonight.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Why no way is she really here?”

“Because I heard Dave on the phone. She’s flying in tomorrow.”

“Daniel, perfect. Also, book a flight for tomorrow for my sister. From New York to LA. I’ll send you all her details now. Perfect.”

“Your sister’s arriving tomorrow? Any arrangements ready?”

“So, unless she can teleport, this bitch is fake.”

“Which means nobody will miss her when we’re done.”

“Ow! Jerk! I came early to surprise him!”

“She’s just another bitch trying to ruin my wedding!”

“Wait, wait, wait. She is the mistress you were telling me about?”

“I’m not a mistress!”

“Oh, please. First you try to seduce him, and now you’re playing innocent? Lucky for us we caught you.”

“You really think you are pretty enough to take my sister’s man, huh? Keep dreaming.”

“I am Bella Drakos! I didn’t seduce anyone!”

“Professional little liar. How many rich men have you tried to scam with that sob story?”

“I am Bella Drakos! You’ll regret this!”

“Keep lying. Who is going to believe you now?”

“Some girls really do make a living trapping rich men.”

“Yeah, I heard they even have schools that teach it.”

“I’m telling the truth!”

“Truth? My brother heard Dave himself. Her flight’s booked for tomorrow.”

“If you’re really her, why are you here today?”

“I came early to surprise him for the wedding, and then the fires happened!”

“Pathetic excuses.”

“No!”

“Snap out of it, you delusional bitch! Dave will never be yours!”

“That is enough! I’m not going to stand by and watch you torture a pregnant woman!”

“Shouldn’t we, I don’t know, check her ID?”

“Shut your mouth! Mind your own fucking business!”

“Well, if you’re really Dave Drakos’s sister, you need to show us proof right now.”

“Hey, give that back!”

“Calm down.”

“Look, pancake. Where are you hiding it, hm?”

“How dare you?”

“Well, well, license says Bella Smith, not Bella Drakos.”

“I was adopted after I got lost as a child! They just found me like a year ago!”

“And I’m Donald Trump’s long-lost son! Looks like we’re both reuniting with family tomorrow. What is that?”

“This is Dave’s private card. Only the Drakos family has it. How did you get—”

“He left it at my place! I was just bringing it back!”

“Liar! He would never give this to some random bitch! You stole it! Oh, thanks. You are draining the Drakos account! And that is to be my daughter’s account soon!”

“You owe the Drakos family! How much did you take, huh? Give it back!”

“Check the transactions! I didn’t touch a single cent!”

“Oh, please! Who knows what else you got out of him? Tell us, what did you do to get it?”

“Enough! Now, do you have any other way to prove who you are?”

“I just have my driver’s license! Isn’t that enough?”

“Anyone can get one of those, even illegals.”

“So, you’re a thief and an illegal?”

“Those border hoppers are always targeting rich men.”

“I’m a legit US citizen! I just don’t have my passport with me! Who carries around a passport?”

“No valid ID. Then we may have to call ICE.”

“What?”

“At least be a little creative, yeah?”

“She’s got my fiancé’s bank card but zero proof of identity.”

“Sounds like probable cause.”

“I bet her whole identity is stolen. Just like she fakes her pregnancy, too.”

“That’s not true! None of it is!”

“There’s nothing in the bag, but we haven’t checked your clothes yet. Let’s see what’s inside them.”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.”

“Don’t touch me! Stop! Get off of me! I’m not a thief!”

“We will be the judge of that. Search her.”

“No, no, no, please! Stop!”

“Are we really just going to stand here and watch this?”

“No, I don’t want to get in trouble.”

“Keep going.”

“No, no, please! Stop, please!”

“Ooh. What did your sugar daddy get you here?”

“It was my mother’s!”

“Let’s see what’s so precious.”

“This is the Drakos heirloom. Dave carries this everywhere with him. He has its twin.”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure. It’s so precious to him, he never even lets me touch it.”

“What is this?”

“A pocket watch? Seriously? Who even carries these anymore?”

“When you’re married, you’ll understand what this watch really means. He told me he gave his sister a matching set.”

“You really love her that much? Get it together. You are the future Mrs. Drakos. Act like it! Are you insane? What does he even see in you? You are nothing special, and he keeps that trash close to his heart?”

“Trash? This is the Drakos matriarch’s heirloom! Two watches—one for the heir, the other’s mine! My mother gave me this before she died, back before Dave was even engaged! This heirloom was made for the true Lady Drakos! For you? You’ll never wear it! I wanted to call you sister, but now, I’d rather burn this legacy to the ground than see you taint it! You dumb border-hopping bitch, how dare you judge me? You’re engaged to Dave, and yet you’ve never even held this! I wonder why!”

“That is enough out of you, you homewrecker!”

“You are the trash! Who the fuck raised you, rats?”

“Don’t you dare speak about my parents that way!”

“Time to beat some manners into you!”

“Wait, it’s Dave. He’s calling.”

“Boss, all routes into the city are being blocked.”

“This makes no sense. Why would anyone head into a wildfire? Daniel, go check it out. I’m going to call Bella.”

“On it, sir.”

“Protect your sister at all costs.”

“He’s calling! Let me answer it! This will prove everything!”

“That’s Dave Drakos calling.”

“She wouldn’t fake that. She might be telling the truth.”

“Pick up, Bella. Pick up.”

“No, no. Davey with a heart? It’s nothing.”

“That was my only proof!”

“Pathetic. You’re still waiting for your knight in shining armor.”

“That call was my only chance, and you know it!”

“Let’s see. iPhone 15 Pro Max, $1,200. Chump change for us, unlike your illegal paychecks. Time to smash this little love token, too.”

“This is the last thing my mother gave me before she died!”

“Something’s wrong. Why isn’t she answering?”

“No! Let me go! Please!”

“Just a cheap little trinket. No diamonds, no gold. What would happen if I dropped it?”

“No, don’t do it! It’s all I have left in my whole life!”

“If you break that watch, Dave will end you!”

“Aw, scary. A little street rat threatening me.”

“Please. It’s the last thing my mother touched. Please.”

“Aw, a dead mommy sob story. Fine. Kneel and apologize. You can have it back if you say you’re a homewrecker, or this precious little heirloom shatters.”

“What?”

“You heard me. I want you to admit to everyone that you are a homewrecker.”

“Fallen tree is blocking our path.”

“Damn it. Then clear it, or call me a chopper now!”

“Sir, my unit is already near that hospital.”

“Right.”

“I’ll do anything. I’ll do anything.”

“Damn it, I need him by now. Why isn’t he answering? Answer, answer.”

“Dave! Hi, Dave, what’s up?”

“Mike, you’re at the wildfire zone, right? My sister Bella should be at St. Mary’s. Need you to check for me.”

“Bella? But you said she was flying in tomorrow. Great, that’s good. Wow, Bella’s here. So unexpected. My battery—Jesus. Mike? Hello?”

“I’ll try Jessica. Pick up, Jessica.”

“Hello? Oh, hi, darling. What’s up?”

“Just checking in. Mike’s phone died. Did he call? Are you at the hotel?”

“Of course. Just putting rose petals all over the bed. Why?”

“No reason. Just worried about—”

“Can you believe it? He’s asking about you the night before our wedding! What on earth did you do to him? Our wedding is tomorrow!”

“I miss Jessica.”

“All these witnesses.”

“Witnesses? Please. Hello? Board of directors? Yes, I’d like to buy St. Mary’s Hospital. Now. All done. Now this whole place is mine. I’ll do whatever I damn well please.”

“No! We’re going to burn this!”

“After tomorrow, I’ll smash Dave’s, too. No more mementos.”

“I apologize! I’m the mistress! Please, just give the watch back!”

“Sorry, I couldn’t hear you over your poverty.”

“I’m a home-wrecking bitch! Please! Are you happy now?”

“See? You all heard it. Confession on the record.”

“Just disgusting. I knew it.”

“You made me act this way.”

“It’s what you get for screwing my sister’s man.”

“The watch, please!”

“Bravo.”

“Oops. Sorry.”

“What? I did what you asked!”

“Did I say to keep it intact?”

“Why? What more do you want from me?”

“I just like watching trash like you suffer.”

“You bitch! I’m not a homewrecker! You made me say that! This watch represents the pride and honor of the Drakos family! I hate you! I hate all of you!”

“Boo-hoo. I couldn’t care less. My brother will never marry a monster like you!”

“Your family’s rotten to the core!”

“You won’t become a Drakos over my dead body!”

“Killing you would be easier than swatting a fly!”

“Do it then! My name is Bella Drakos! My blood carries centuries of legacy!”

“You are nothing but a border-crossing gold digger!”

“I’ll erase her.”

“I’ll go first.”

“You think you are so much better than my family? Well, keep dreaming.”

“Touch me and my child ever again and Dave will end you!”

“Child?”

“Boss, the room’s clear.”

“Good. Step up.”

“Child? Still lying? Death is too easy.”

“Oh, my God, stop, please! My baby! Someone help!”

“Stop! If she really is pregnant, you could be giving her a miscarriage!”

“Stay out of this or you are next!”

“That’s right. She deserves it. Smile for the camera, homewrecker. I’m going to show everyone who you really are.”

“You lied from the start.”

“You can sneak across borders, you can handle a little pain.”

“Fuck you, coward!”

“And maybe they’re hiding more illegals.”

“Defend her again and you’ll die with her!”

“I swear, you’ll pay for this!”

“Still mouthing off? Beat her! Hit her until she can’t talk anymore!”

“What?”

“Look under her!”

“Look what?”

“Stop, please!”

“My baby! The baby!”

“Baby? That’s just her disgusting period.”

“Please, someone!”

“She might be the mistress, but the kid’s innocent! This is too much!”

“Oh, my God, pregnant! Anyone? I’m not lying, I’m pregnant! If something happens to this baby, they will end you forever!”

“She is having a miscarriage! We need—”

“It’s a hospital. Plenty of blood around. Fetch some blood. Drink it until she’s full.”

“Oh, relax. It’s a hospital. Plenty of blood around. Go fetch me some blood now. I’ll make her drink it until she’s full. Let’s replenish what you spilled. Pour! Hey, get back, baby girl! Isn’t this what you wanted? My dress! You bitch!”

“That is gestational sac tissue! Stop torturing her! Her medical report confirmed intrauterine pregnancy, eight weeks!”

“Can’t be!”

“She really—she is pregnant.”

“Oh, Jessie, look. Dave’s signature on the paternity form.”

“Eight weeks. That bastard. He was fucking you.”

“It’s not his! It’s my husband Eric’s! Dave just signed as the emergency contact!”

“Lies! You fucked your own brother?”

“You’re twisting things! Please save my baby!”

“No, that paper proves nothing! Jessie is the real victim here!”

“Explain this! Why would Dave sign for someone else’s child?”

“He just came with me to the checkups as family!”

“Lies! Only a mistress would hide her pregnancy! Don’t fall for it!”

“My husband, Eric, he’ll drive us home. He’s coming!”

“Eric Wilson? That low-level manager? His real wife ran off to Singapore last month.”

“Ex-wife! I’m his wife now!”

“You are disgusting! Let go!”

“She’s hemorrhaging! Stay back!”

“She thinks she can crawl into the Drakos family using Dave’s brat. That bastard dies tonight.”

“DNA can’t help you if the baby’s already dead. Jessie, what if Dave finds out we killed his kid?”

“Then Dave will never find out.”

“You monsters! She’s already dying! She’s going to bleed out!”

“God will judge you all.”

“God won’t save you! You’re just an illegal parasite trying to use men to get ahead. Let her die! I’ve got plenty more money to waste!”

“Enough! I will rot in prison before I stand around watching any more of this!”

“Officer, take one more step and your family all dies! Your career is over!”

“Who cares? Move out of the way! My kid’s medical bills—what kind of man would I be then, to serve money instead of the people?”

“That’s because they know who’s in charge! I own this hospital! No one can get through me!”

“Then I’ll move you out of the way myself! Get up!”

“Not for long. Soon he’ll be begging on the streets.”

“Dispatch, pregnant woman in critical condition located at—”

“Your chief licks our boots for funding. You think he’s going to help you? Ha!”

“Sir, think of your pension, my newborn, my mortgage.”

“It’s crazy. You would shame the very uniform you wear.”

“Welcome to the Drakos payroll, boys.”

“Helicopter in 60 seconds, sir.”

“Thank you, Daniel. Hold on, sis. I’ll be there soon.”

“You’re killing her.”

“We have families.”

“That’s what she deserves. Pain.”

“How dare you steal my man?”

“Help! Someone help! David, where are you? Help!”

“How pathetic. If I were you, I’d smash my head and get it over with already.”

“She can make you kill my family, but I won’t break.”

“Aw, he won’t break? Well, I’ll break you until you do.”

“Stay the fuck away from my wife! Baby, I’m here. I’m here.”

“Oh, baby, shut up. And who the fuck are you supposed to be?”

“What the hell did she do to deserve this? Who the fuck did this to her?”

“Me. What the hell are you going to do about it?”

“Boss, what are you doing here?”

“Why don’t you ask your lovely wife? She’s been sneaking around with my fiancé.”

“What? No, I grew up with Bella. She’s not that kind of person.”

“I hate to break it to you, but that’s not my problem. See? That man, that’s my fiancé, David Drakos. As a woman, he’s loyal. Your wife—”

“Bella, what is this? Who the hell is that?”

“That’s my brother, David! He’s the eldest member of the Drakos family!”

“Your brother? Why have I never heard you mention him?”

“Because she lied to you! She thinks calling him her brother will cover up her cheating!”

“That’s not true! Dave and I just reconnected last week! You were away on a business trip. I was going to wait to tell you!”

“Stop lying. We checked. There’s zero record of your ties to the Drakos family.”

“You have to believe me. Take this ring back. I was going to surprise you.”

“Here’s a big surprise for you: your lovely little wife right here is pregnant. And guess what? It’s not yours.”

“What?”

“Go on, take a look at the paternity report.”

“Pregnant? Eight weeks? Honey, you never told me.”

“Of course she didn’t tell you, because the baby isn’t yours! Look at the signature! I’ll give you two choices: divorce her now, or stay with her and you will never work in this industry again.”

“You work for me.”

“Please don’t leave me! Don’t listen to her!”

“Bro, come on. I mean, she’s dragging you down. Is sacrificing your career really worth it, hm?”

“Oh, by the way, the CEO spot for the Southeast Asia branch is still open. I think you would be perfect for it, Eric.”

“Ma’am, you’re right.”

“Eric, I changed my mind on you.”

“Please don’t take it off. Please!”

“From this moment on, we’re done.”

“You’re going to regret this! Dave is coming!”

“The only thing I regret is ever marrying you.”

“So, feels good, doesn’t it? Watching the man you love throw you away, ending up with nothing.”

“Sis, since nobody wants this little bitch anymore, why don’t you let me take care of her?”

“Why don’t you go wipe a grandma’s ass?”

“Are you sure you’re done with her?”

“She’s all yours. Oh, and by the way, she’s real flexible.”

“Bella, stop acting so innocent.”

“Yeah, we knew what you were from the very beginning.”

“Relax, Mike. Girls like these like to fight, but that’s half the fun. What do you want? Hospital bed or operating table? Go on, scream. Let’s see if anyone comes to save you.”

“Put that girl down now!”

“Is that Dave’s driver? What the hell is he doing here?”

“Why is he this concerned about her safety? Oh God, don’t tell me she really is his sister.”

“Drakos’s sister? I’m Daniel, his driver.”

“He’s my brother!”

“He’s frantic. He took a chopper and he should be here by now, but something must have happened en route.”

“Jess, what if we were wrong? What if she really is—”

“So what? He’s just a driver, and I’m going to be the next lady of the Drakos family.”

“Stop right there.”

“Don’t be fooled by this woman. She’s not Dave’s sister.”

“She’s just some bitch who seduced him.”

“How much longer?”

“The smoke below is too thick! Visibility’s gone!”

“We still need more time.”

“I don’t care if we crash! Land this damn thing now!”

“Daniel, she is no sister of Dave’s! Just a scheming mistress, a con artist! Don’t let her fool you!”

“Con artist?”

“That’s right! We checked over and over again in her background. No shred of evidence saying that she is Dave’s sister!”

“Daniel, I’ve come so far. You must know who I really am.”

“Mr. Drakos confirmed that the young miss was in this hospital. All the information checks out. This is Bella Drakos.”

“What do we do if she’s really Dave’s sister?”

“Then we don’t let them leave alive tonight.”

“Daniel, you sure about this? Bella’s flight doesn’t get into New York until tomorrow. How the hell would she be here?”

“Dave had you book a flight for tomorrow. That ticket was canceled. Miss Bella came here on her own, and then the wildfires hit.”

“What the hell are the chances of all these coincidences?”

“You’re not telling me the truth. Miss Bella needs medical attention. Get the hell out of my way!”

“Desperate, huh? I get it. He works for Dave. You’ve known about this little affair with this homewrecker all along.”

“Yeah, look at how he protects her. He’s screwing her, too.”

“Are you all out of your mind? I’m just following Mr. Drakos’s orders!”

“Mike, stop it.”

“She’s not listening. My sister said you aren’t leaving.”

“Are you all out of your mind? If anything happens to Miss Bella, then the Drakos family will destroy you all!”

“Please. You’re trying to scare us with that? You’re nothing but a driver! You’re a nobody! Daniel, I know you’re loyal to Dave, but after the wedding tomorrow, I will be Lady Drakos. Is it really worth defying me for this whore?”

“I’m not trying to defy you, but this is life or death! Do you really want to make this worse?”

“If it all blows up, it’s all her fault! I own this hospital! Even if she dies, no one’s going to care!”

“The Drakos family saved my life. I owe them everything. Right now, his orders are to take care of Miss Bella. Now, get out of the way!”

“How dare you speak to my sister like that? You are just a driver. Know your fucking place!”

“I have served the Drakos family for seventeen years. My father was his family’s most loyal friend, and when he gets here, none of you are getting away with this!”

“Dreaming, huh? Why are you defending this bitch? Are you screwing her, too? The boss’s mistress and his driver? Oh, this is golden. Wait, is it your baby this bitch is carrying?”

“Are you all insane?”

“Enough, Daniel. Why be so stubborn? Think about it. After tomorrow, I will be the one closest to you. If you help her now, you are crossing me, and the Drakos family won’t be so pleasant for you.”

“Is that a threat?”

“Oh, no. It’s not a threat. I just hate seeing you duped by her. This little helpless act that she’s doing is how she reels men in. You not see that?”

“Mr. Drakos will decide Miss Bella’s identity himself.”

“So, nothing works on you, huh? Mike, time’s up. Smash his mouth so he can’t go running to Dave.”

“Hang on, Bella. Two more minutes. Almost there.”

“Jessica, everything you’ve done here tonight, I am going to tell Mr. Drakos every last detail!”

“So, who do you think you are threatening me?”

“Stop! If you touch Dave’s family and friends, you’ll regret this!”

“You said you’re Dave’s sister? Well, fine. Let’s find out. Hey, Jason, grab a needle. We’re going to test your blood right now.”

“Don’t you dare!”

“She is Dave’s sister! What you’re doing is murder! Dave will never forgive you!”

“Due to strong winds and dry conditions, the northeastern fire line has breached the first barrier. Saint Mary’s Hospital is now under red alert. All residents, patients, and staff are ordered to evacuate immediately.”

“Jesse, the wildfire is approaching. Let’s finish this bitch and get the fuck out!”

“Don’t worry, Mother. I’ll burn this place down and watch you and her burn alive. Dave will pick up the ashes. I’ll lock you both up and let the fire finish its job. Dave will wonder what happened to his poor little sister and driver. Oh, they must have just not gotten out quick enough. The perfect accident.”

“No, please, please!”

“Wait. Jesse, listen to what I say. If the cops find ashes, just let them think that she overdosed and that she didn’t get out fast enough, yeah?”

“No, you can’t do this! You can’t kill Dave’s sister!”

“I was supposed to be at home today preparing for my marriage! It was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, and now it’s ruined because of you!”

“Bella! Where are you?”

“Dave, you’re finally here!”

“Is that Dave?”

“Wait. Hi, Dave.”

“What the hell? Jessie.”

“Oh, hi, honey. What are you doing here?”

“What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be at the hotel?”

“I was, but my mom and brothers were at the hospital, so of course I had to come check on them.”

“Right. What happened? You all right?”

“Oh, it was nothing. Honey, darling, let’s go.”

“Hold on. Why are you acting so weird? Are you hiding something from me? Where’s Bella?”

“Dave! Dave, we’re in here!”

“No!”

“Dave, we’re in here!”

“Why would I be hiding something? Bella, I haven’t seen her for a while. I don’t know.”

“Mr. Drakos.”

“Shut up! It’s not your place to speak!”

“Jessie, what do you mean it’s not her place to speak? You’re keeping something from me.”

“Honey, let’s just go back to the hotel. Bella’s an adult. She could take care of herself, yeah?”

“No. I’m not going anywhere until I find my sister. It’s the only thing that matters. Where’s Daniel? He said he was here already.”

“Dave!”

“Bella! Bella! Bella, what happened to you? You all right? Who did this?”

“Sir, Miss Bella suffered a miscarriage.”

“What?”

“She needs treatment. Now.”

“Follow me. We need to go. Now.”

“All right, come on. Got you.”

“Severe trauma caused a miscarriage. Loss of over 600 ml of blood. Multiple soft tissue injuries. I’m so sorry, I should have been here sooner.”

“Hello. How are you feeling?”

“Get away from me! I hate you! Don’t you dare even pretend! You know exactly what you and your disgusting family did!”

“This was you?”

“Oh, Dave, darling. It’s been a terrible mistake.”

“No mistake. Lobby cameras caught it all. Got the footage right here.”

“Dave, shut up!”

“Shut up! You shut up!”

“Let me see this.”

“Dave, I can explain! I thought she was your mistress!”

“You thought? I’ve been giving you everything, Jessica—trust, security. I’ve never cheated on you! And now you nearly killed my sister, and you murdered my nephew!”

“God.”

“I swear I didn’t know she was your sister!”

“How many times do I have to tell you? Did you not hear her? Were you deaf?”

“I didn’t know! I didn’t know, Dave, I swear! Please forgive me, Dave! I love you so much. Tomorrow is our wedding. Please forgive me!”

“Wedding? You dare talk about a wedding? You nearly killed my sister! No. Wedding’s off. Notify everyone. Cancel the wedding. Inform everyone the wedding’s off. And as of today, you’re no longer the CEO of Drakos Media.”

“What?”

“Dave, you don’t get—we finally got together. You can’t just say—”

“Shut up! She’s dead to me! All of you are dead to me! This is over. Forever.”

“Sir, I think you should probably go beg Bella for forgiveness. Maybe Dave will go easy on you.”

“I’m just sorry I did you wrong. Please forgive me. Please talk to Dave for me. I swear I didn’t know who you were.”

“You killed my baby! You destroyed the watch my mother gave me! I fucking hate you!”

“I understand the pain you’re in. I’m going to be a mother, too.”

“What did you just say?”

“I said I’m pregnant. With twins. Do you really want these innocent babies growing up thinking that their mom and brothers and grandma were all criminals?”

“She’s lying.”

“I’m not lying! I’m pregnant, I swear!”

“The family doctor warned me. Everyone told me not to marry you, yet I still defended you. And now you try to blackmail me with children? You truly disgust me.”

“Well, Dave, maybe it was a misdiagnosis. I mean, she looks pregnant.”

“Then why don’t we test her right now?”

“Yeah, let’s do that. Why don’t we see if she’s really pregnant? Nurse, get the exam ready.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Shut up! Dave, do you really want me to die?”

“Die? Yeah. You should just go ahead and die, Jessie. You beat my sister until she miscarries, torture her with needles and blood transfusions!”

“I’m sorry. I apologize, Dave. What more do you want from me?”

“You think a mere apology is going to fix all of this? No. I want more than that from all of you! You damaged medical equipment. You beat my sister nearly to death. You’re all going to pay! You’re going to rot in a jail cell till your skin peels and your fingernails fall out!”

“I’m not lying, Dave. Do you believe me? Believe me, come on.”

“I’m a Drakos. And there’s nothing I can’t do. And I wasn’t finished. When you all crawl out of state prison, shriveled up and barely alive, Blackgate’s going to be waiting for you.”

“No, it won’t.”

“Where they send the worst of the worst. The pedophiles, the serial killers, the rapists.”

“Oh, my God.”

“They’re going to devour you all. Especially you, Jason.”

“How can you be such a monster?”

“Jess, I can’t go to Blackgate Prison! Do something!”

“Please, Jess!”

“Dave, I’m going to give you one last chance. Are you really going to ruin us forever?”

“You made my sister lose her child. You wrote your own death sentence.”

“Fine. If that’s how you want it to go, then don’t blame me for what happens next. Mike, call the Secretary of Defense!”

“No!”

“Dean, you might think you’re very important with your nice little suit, but you are nothing compared to the Secretary of Defense. Get him on the line. Right now. Yes, hello.”

“Hello. Mr. Westwood, we have a little bit of a problem. Jessica and I are at St. Mary’s in LA, and we need someone over here to—”

“Do you know it’s 1:50 in the morning, you uncultured mutt? I’m sending a car. This is the last time.”

“It looks like you and the Secretary of Defense aren’t so close, are you?”

“Oh, you don’t know anything! He’s sending us a car, all right?”

“That is the Chief of Staff of the White House.”

“Oh, my God. Hello, sir. I’m here at the hospital. Someone’s trying to kill my family. They’re saying Mr. Westwood is coming to pick them up. What should we do about that?”

“What? That fool? I’ll send him over there right now to apologize to you.”

“Thanks.”

“Thank you, Bruce.”

“Move aside. Let me through.”

“See? Mr. Westwood, he even came in person. Look at that.”

“You idiot! Do you have any idea who you crossed?”

“No, wait. This can’t be. You’re the Secretary of Defense?”

“Shut up! Do you have any idea how many of our defense contracts depend on the Drakos family?”

“Sir, these people—they have nothing to do with you, I swear.”

“Enough. You can leave.”

“I promised Bella revenge for all of you. I always fulfill my promises. Take them away.”

“What? No! Mr. Drakos, please spare me! It was her!”

“And him! He said that Bella was faking the pregnancy! He slapped the shit out of everybody!”

“Oh, Jesus! You drug-sniffing coward!”

“I cannot go to prison! I will die in there! Do something quick! What am I supposed to do? This whole hospital turned against me!”

“If you hadn’t pushed your own mother, none of this would have ever happened! It’s all your fault! It’s all your fucking fault!”

“No!”

“If you didn’t need those goddamn pills, I wouldn’t have had to push her!”

“What do you want from me? It wasn’t the first bus I hijacked!”

“Excuses! You’ve been a repeat offender since you were a child!”

“How do you know?”

“It’s time you got on your real ass.”

“Oh, God.”

“Inspector, make sure the Drakos family has your department fully funded. We’ll never have to deal with these parasites again. They’re moving out from my side forever.”

“Wait, wait, no! I’m not going to survive in prison! I’m not going to survive like this! I love children!”

“Bella, I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I almost married that vicious woman. I just—”

“No, it’s not your fault, Dave. If this wouldn’t have happened, we wouldn’t have known that that family was full of vile monsters.”

“I’ll see that everything St. Mary’s lost tonight is restored. And Stephanie, thank you for standing up for my sister. From today on, you will forever be a friend of the Drakos family.”

“Thank you. Oh, I feel something. Oh, my God. It’s faint, but the baby still has a heartbeat.”

“What?”

“Thank God. Thank you. I wish—oh, I wish she were here to see this.”

“She’s always with us.”
