*Narrative POV*

As Angelica was taken into custody for testifying the plan and why she did it, The Schuyler's could only stand there and watch.

How was it that Angelica, out of all the girls, be the one getting arrested? She always had her intellect about her, but yet, she managed to make a huge mistake.

The charges that would be pressed against her were yet unclear. Either way, she, and the family knew that she wouldn't be home for a while.

As Angelica was being brought out to the police car, Peggy and Eliza watched from the stairs. The sisters were holding each other, holding back the tears.

"This is all my fault. If I didn't- didn't run away, this wouldn't be happening." Peggy said to Eliza, almost in tears.

Eliza found herself rubbing her sister's back, comforting her. "Peggy, no, no. It's not your fault. You said you didn't even want to go that far. Angelica manipulated you. She basically kidnapped you."

Peggy sighed and nodded slowly, trying to come to grips with the situation.

Awaiting trial, Angelica was thinking of ways to get out of any serious jail time. She didn't want her life to be ruined over this.

Just then, a thought came upon Angelica's head- say that Maria was basically holding you hostage.

And that's what Angelica went on, hoping to escape the charges.

The judge however, wasn't buying it.

*Rough chapter. But I think this book is coming to an end soon merely because I'm running out of ideas for it. If you have any suggestions comment them below and some ideas for new books please! - Matthew.*
