Her mind was going haywire from all the stress and fear. All she wanted was a moment to breathe so that maybe, just maybe she would be able to stop crying but her tears just wouldn't leave her eyes. Her body was so cold and sweaty, she could hardly walk without dropping something.

She looked around for anything that could help her, but the only thing she saw was the stairs, which seemed impossibly far away. Instead of trying to escape down the stairs, she turned right and headed in a direction she hoped would be safer. But that path ended in a dead end with just one large window.

"Just stop struggling now," Ethan said as he approached her. "You're making my job harder." Kaylee didn’t reply, continuing to fight him with every ounce of strength she had. "We both know you won’t get anywhere if you keep this up." She tried desperately to scream at him, but he clamped his hand over her mouth, silencing her. He grabbed her by the arms and dragged her toward him, forcing her to stand in fron

    Charlotte was sitting in her luxurious mansion, in a room with a large view of the city below and the sea beyond. A glass of fine champagne in her hand and a letter from the Delish Delight Company's Presidents, Mr. Corleone and Mr. Moretti sitting atop a table beside the box of cake. She took another sip and then opened the letter. Her eyes roamed over the letter, taking in every word, as if she could somehow absorb it into her body. Suddenly she threw the champagne glass across the room, where it shattered on the floor. The shards of glass reflected light that fell through the walls onto Charlotte's face, making it look even paler than it already was.She read the letter faster this time. The words raced across the page but didn't get lost. Charlotte didn't need to read them more than once before they were embedded deep into her brain, forming an image that would last for weeks on end, even years. The letters continued to buzz through her mind like a swarm of angry insects, each word

    [5 am, morning]It was 5 o'clock in the morning when Blair and Masson hurriedly made their way to the Luxor Lodgings Hotel, where they were supposed to arrive at 10:30 pm. Exhausted from their long and difficult journey, they stumbled through the hotel entrance, drained of energy.

    Masson didn't fully grasp her words, but he nodded in agreement nonetheless. Suddenly, amidst the otherwise silent penthouse, they heard the distinct sound of a door clicking shut. Masson's eyes widened in shock, and they both hurriedly made their way towards the source of the sound. As they reached the door, they caught a glimpse of a figure disappearing into the distance. It was Ethan, leaving the penthouse."Ethan.....?" Masson was about to shout his name, but Blair quickly covered his mouth, preventing any further noise."We gotta be quiet, Masson," Blair whispered urgently. "He's probably near the elevator. Let's catch up before he slips away." Masson nodded, and they stealthily pursued Ethan, their footsteps echoing in the empty penthouse. It felt like a never-ending chase, with Ethan always just out of their grasp."Yeah, yeah, we need to make it to the Amethyst Diamond Casino fast," Blair grabbed Masson's arm and pulled him to a stop as they reached the elevator.

    Even after leaving the Luxor Lodgings Hotel, Blair continued to follow Ethan. Walking in six-inch heels became increasingly difficult. The heat from the morning sun spread everywhere, causing irritation in her eyes from the contact lenses. However, she couldn't let discomfort hinder her mission.She discreetly trailed behind Ethan, ensuring she maintained a safe distance. She wondered why he was walking on the road instead of taking his car. He didn't appear aware of her presence, focused on the bustling city streets. The noise of honking cars and chattering pedestrians filled the air, creating a chaotic symphony that masked the sound of her footsteps.Suddenly, her phone rang. She took it out of her bag and saw Ms. Charlotte's name on the screen. Quickly, she answered, "Hello, Ms. Charlotte."Ms. Charlotte's voice came through the phone, sharp and authoritative. "I asked you to follow my son, Ethan. Did you discover anything suspicious?" Blair paused for a moment to gather her though

    [Blue Fressy Bar]Masson knew this was his chance. Marcus stood up and headed towards the exit, his eyes scanning the room as he made his way through the crowd. Masson quickly followed, keeping a safe distance to avoid arousing suspicion. As Marcus stepped outside, Masson saw him glance around before entering a nearby alley. He cautiously followed him, his senses heightened with each step. The alley was dimly lit, with the sound of distant traffic echoing in the background. He watched as Marcus stopped in front of a door, hesitating for a moment before entering.Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to take a risk. He quietly approached the door and listened for any sounds from inside. Hearing nothing, he slowly turned the doorknob and slipped into the room. To his surprise, he found himself in a small, dimly lit bathroom. He wondered what Marcus would have come here to do while Ethan's driver is waiting for him outside.

    She could smell the faint aroma of cooking dinner spread around the house but her anxiety made her feel restless so she folded the page properly and put it back in her jeans pocket and came to her room. She sat on the edge of the bed and tried to get comfortable for a second before taking off her special customized converse shoes and went to the bathroom for a quick shower. She took a long shower to wash away the hospital smell and the memory of her meeting with her father before she focused on her foot. Slowly she took off her prosthetic toe which she used to cover her fourth and fifth toe of right foot. She raised it off with warm water making her feel refreshed from her bath as it felt nice on the sore skin. Now with the prosthetic on, she could feel more confident that if someone ever tries something bad to her toes, they couldn't find them. This is why she's always wearing these shoes whenever she goes out. After a much needed shower, she dried herself and put her pajamas on bef

    “Blair, I don't understand why, but I envy you,” Ava glanced at her from head to toe. Blair looked into her eyes angrily and tried to understand her meaning. “I mean, I really like your personality…your face……your smile……your hair..….and the way you carry yourself,” She said, reaching out to touch her hair with one hand while running her fingers through it with the other. Blair quickly tried to pull her hair back.“Wait a minute, let me look at them, please," Ava asked like an innocent child who wanted to look at her toy for the last time as she can't afford it. She started looking at Blair's hair without blinking. Suddenly, she took out the chewing gum from her mouth and put it on her hair.“What on earth Jolie,” Blair yelled angrily and started to take it off, but it was stuck firmly.“How's your mom, Blair?” On this question, she jolted back from her past. The classroom and the children who used to mock her have vanished into thin air.“You are not at the place to ask this question

    [St. Mew Hospital, ICU]“Blair, dear, your father has regained consciousness," she turned her head back to Uncle Nicolas' voice. Her heart began to race, its pounding audible to anyone nearby. Yeah ok, she had been with her father since last night, but this would be the first time she would see him after he regained consciousness. Just this thought made her wounds bleed again, she doesn't know what's going to happen next?She ignored Masson when he asked about her father. Because she had no answer to any of his questions, nor did she want to give at this time. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing thoughts, and started following Uncle Nicolas to the ICU room. Until now, the atmosphere of this hospital and the smell of medicine seemed normal to her. She was able to breathe in it effortlessly, but now she starts feeling very uneasy.As they approached the room, her palms grew sweaty, and her stomach churned with a mix of anxiety and anger.

    Half an hour later, Masson looked into the room through the glass and saw Ms. Charlotte was still talking to Blair, probably giving some instructions. But because the door of the room was closed, he could not hear anything.[Phone rings]On the sound of the bell, Masson glanced at the phone, and her mom's number was flashing on its screen. He raised his head and looked inside the room again, but she was still busy talking. When the phone rang again, he received the call. “Hello, Auntie. This is Masson speaking.”“Hello, dear, how are you?” Ms. Elizabeth sounded polite.“I'm fine, Blair just went inside the emergency room. You can talk when she comes out,” he informed her without second thought .“Emergency room? Why there? Everything is fine, right? Last night, she was at Evelyn's house,” Ms. Elizabeth panicked and started questioning.“Evenly…? Yes, last night she was at her house.

    [St. Mew Hospital][Waiting Area]“So, why are you here?” Blair's question drew Masson's attention back to her from the TV screen.“They're lying,” Masson said in a whimsical tone.“Who's lying?” She asked, looking into his eyes.“The whole system is working for Ethan Lopez,” they both walked towards the emergency room where Ethan lay. “Today at 4 o'clock in the morning I called the police and told them that 50 girls are imprisoned in Gabriel Jose's house. In fact, I have video evidence. But in the news, they reported that Ethan was the one who informed them about this. And what bothers me is that those girls are also supporting him.”“But why?” Blair, who was standing quietly listening to him, asked, “What is bothering you about this case?”“Everything....every angle of this case was bothering me," Masson frowned, sitting down heavily on the hospital waiting chair. It made a hollow scraping sound against the vinyl tile floor. “It's like there are pieces missing from all these puzzl

    In the middle of the living room of the house, Ethan was lying unconscious and bleeding from the back of his head. “But I didn't hit him,” Masson inadvertently blurted out, “Then who hit him? Aoife? No, no, how can she do that? She was a victim herself, and she didn't even have the courage to fight against him.” Masson carefully turned Ethan over and closely examined his head wound. It was a very deep wound that was bleeding, as if someone had struck it with a heavy object. And the most surprising thing that shocked him was the angle of his wound. Looking at it, it seemed as if his hands were very expert in this work, as if he had done this many times.On the sound of a Police Siren, Masson straightened his body and stood a little far away. He could hear their shoes from inside. Some policemen gathered outside the house, while others entered. They held guns in their hands, their arms straight. These individuals walked quickly and approached the area where they were standing. "I repo

That means she's going to run away,” Jennifer replied in a hushed tone.“Who has opened it? Who has the courage to run away from this prison?” Patricia asked in surprise at her courage.“That new girl who arrived last week,” Jennifer said with a frown.“You can't escape Calista , you will never be able to escape,” Patricia said with tears in her eyes. “They'll kill you, and no one would be able to know about us, about you.

She was walking with so much confidence that no guard dared to ask her any question. “Henry Moretti, Chief Operating Officer,” she squinted her eyes and read his name before entering his office. She started talking to him very distinctly. Blair was surprised to see a fake smile on her mother's face.“Hi sir, I am Blair Anderson's mother," she held a warm smile on her face as she introduced herself. But Mr. Moretti fixed his gaze on the laptop that was open in front of him, showing no interest.“I heard about you from my daughter Blair, so I thought I'd meet,” not getting an answer, she fixed her hair with one hand and slowly started walking towards the moving chair. “Umm….
