A Thief’s Regret
The silence in the interrogation room grew thick as Steve lowered his gaze, overwhelmed by the weight of his own words. “I never imagined the weight this ring would carry,” he muttered, his voice cracking with emotion. It wasn’t just the money or the desire to impress Melissa; over time, the stolen jewelry had become an invisible chain, a constant reminder of his mistake. Now, faced with the truth and its consequences, he understood that the ring had not opened doors for him, but had bound him to his worst decision.

Meanwhile, in another room, Melissa told her side of the story. She explained how she received the ring without knowing where it came from, how Steve’s deception had embroiled her in a bigger story than she had ever imagined. “I never suspected,” she stated in a firm voice, though tinged with sadness. Her testimony, coupled with irrefutable evidence, would be key to Steve finally facing the consequences of his crime.
