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.

    [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.

    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.

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. How you died, where you were buried.”“Hey girl!!! Open this lock and set me free too,” Aoife said loudly and grabbed Calista's hand and pulled her.

    But her mother didn't seem bothered by them. She very contentedly took Blair's hand and came to Mia's father's office while walking along that straight path. 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….

Her father quickly hid Kaylee in his arms and turned his neck to look outside.“Ass****bitch!!” Blair yelled at Kaylee and angrily stormed back to her mother.“Blair,” her father called her behind, but she ignored him.“Let's go, Blair, we won't stay here for a minute now,” her mother held her hand tightly and brought her back to the

Reporting to him meant that Masson had to convey to Ethan whatever had happened at the casino because Thomas and Ethan wouldn't be able to meet in person. So what does that mean? He frowned as new questions began to arise in his mind one after another.It had only two meanings.

The sight was both heartbreaking and infuriating."Your father had been brought in earlier this evening, found unconscious on the street behind the bar. The police had been notified, but so far, there were no leads on who could have done this to him." As she arrived, someone informed her. Upon witnessing her father in such a condition, she was unaware of the presence of anyone else besides him. She lifted her gaze and spotted him.He had a calm and composed demeanor, appearing to be in his late 50s or early 60s, similar to her father's age, with neatly combed graying hair. His face displayed signs of worry and exhaustion, with faint lines etched around his eyes. He was dressed casually, wearing a plain, dark-colored shirt and a pair of jeans. His clothing seemed slightly disheveled, indicating that he had been
