Emma's POVThe dull hum of hospital equipment filled the room, a constant reminder of my current reality. The memories of the forest with the Moon Goddess lingered at the edges of my consciousness, blending with the sterile surroundings of the hospital room. I felt raw and exposed as if my very soul had been laid bare.The door creaked open, and I looked up to see Grace standing there, a look of concern etched on her face. She stepped inside, closing the door softly behind her."Emma," she whispered, her eyes scanning my face as if trying to gauge my mental state."Grace," I replied, unable to keep the relief from my voice. Her presence was a balm to my frayed nerves.She took a seat beside my bed, her fingers fidgeting with the strap of her bag.

"I'm not surprised, given everything that

**Emma's POV**The fresh air hit me like a tonic the moment I walked out of the hospital. Gone was the sterile, antiseptic smell that had clung to me for days.

Yet, the Moon Goddess’s warning still echoed in my mind, an uncomfortable companion to my newfound freedom.Grace hovered beside me, her eyes scanning our surroundings with the cautiousness of a hawk. "Are you sure you want to do this?" she asked for the umpteenth time."Yes, Grace. I need to know what's going on, and this might be my only chance," I replied, my resolve firm.We reached my modest apartment, and Grace insisted on coming inside. "Just to make sure you're really okay," she said.

"Emma," I began, my voice breaking, "I... I just wanted to see how you were doing. You've been through so much."She blinked, her eyes wide with a mixture of surprise and curiosity. "I'm doing okay, considering.”She stood there looking confused, and I knew I needed to steer this conversation before my resolve faltered.

My footfalls were almost silent as I made my way through the underbrush, my breath visible in the early morning chill.

Relief washed over me as I finally saw the outline of my apartment building in the distance. The pace of my steps quickened, fueled by the need for the sanctuary of four familiar walls.As I approached the front door, my heart sank when I saw Grace standing there, arms crossed and feet tapping impatiently.

It was my first day back at work, and I was about to face the one person I had been avoiding. The implications of Lena’s deception weighed heavily on my conscience, but I couldn't act recklessly. It wasn't my place to reveal Lena’s secret, yet if she didn’t come clean soon, I knew I would have to intervene for Nicholas’s sake.Taking a deep breath, I pushed open the door. Nicholas was sitting by the window, a rare smile on his face as he took in the morning sun. Despite everything he went through, he still managed to look regal and composed.“Good morning, Nicholas,” I greeted him softly, trying to keep my tone light.“Emma,” he replied, turning to face me with a warm smile. “It’s good to see you back.

All I wanted was to crawl into bed and let the world disappear, but life had other plans.My phone buzzed just as I was about to get into my car. I fetched it out of my pocket, hoping it was Jason, my expression turning hopeful. But it was a message from an anonymous number.

The lounge room was awash in expensive chandeliers' warm, golden glow bouncing off the polished mahogany furniture. My father was in full swing, his voice booming with excitement as he outlined another business venture, punctuating each declaration with grand gestures. For a brief moment, I envied his enthusiasm. It must be nice to live so blissfully blind to the real world.Lena sat next to me, her phone clutched in her manicured hand. She seemed disinterested at first, fidgeting with her diamond bracelet, but then I noticed her glancing at her phone with a smile, her eyes lighting up in a way I hadn't seen before. Suddenly, she stood up, her chair scraping against the floor."Where are you going?" our father asked, more out of obligation than curiosity."I need to make a call.
