Maira’s POVI sit nervously in the plastic chair next to Emily’s hospital bed, glancing at the green curtains that barely separate us from the bustling outside. My heart races even though Emily looks peaceful, resting under the crisp white sheets. But all I can think about is Aria. Why is she lying? Why can’t she be honest with us?“Ugh!” I groan, breaking the silence. “This is so frustrating!”Emily stirs slightly but doesn’t open her eyes. “What’s frustrating?” she mumbles, her voice groggy.“Aria! She’s driving me crazy with her secrets!” I run my fingers through my hair, feeling the tension in my chest. “Why would she lie about Sebastien? It doesn’t make any sense!”Emily finally cracks one eye open, looking at me with a hint of annoyance. “Maira, can you please let it go? We have bigger things to worry about right now.”“But this is important!” I insist, crossing my arms. “She’s hiding something. I just know it!”Emily lets out a small sigh and shifts in her bed. “Shouldn’t you b

Michael and I are driving out of the city, and I can feel the tension in the air. I keep glancing at the rearview mirror, wondering if we should have left earlier. “Do you think we really should have stayed back for more of the event?” I ask, trying to keep the conversation light.“Elizabeth, we needed to get out of there,” Michael replies, his hands gripping the steering wheel tighter. “Too many people were getting crazy over the news about Caleb. We can’t take any chances.”“Yeah, you’re right,” I say, shifting in my seat. “But that doesn’t mean this drive feels any less nerve-wracking.”Suddenly, there’s a loud horn blaring, and I barely have time to react. A car speeds into our lane, crashing into our side. “Oh no!” I shriek as I feel the impact hit hard.“Stay quiet, Susan!” Michael barks, his voice a mixture of panic and urgency. I turn and see our daughter in the back seat, wide-eyed and frozen with fear.“Mom? Dad? What’s happening?” Susan’s voice trembles and I want to reach

Emily's POVI sit at my desk, surrounded by piles of files that seem to multiply every hour. Maira buzzes around me, checking in every few minutes. She keeps the coffee coming, which helps me stay focused on my work.“I really shouldn't have gotten so worked up about Aria and abandoned my job! I could have friggin done both!”“You couldn't and Emily, have you made any progress on those reports?” Maira asks, peering over my shoulder.“Getting there! I’m just figuring out how to present this data.” I scroll through the screen, feeling the pressure of the deadline looming.Suddenly, there’s a loud knock on the door. I look up, surprised.“Who could that be?” I say, glancing at Maira.“Let me see!” Maira rushes to the door, her excitement bubbling over. I hear her gasp.“Emily! Come quick! You won’t believe who’s here!”My heart skips a beat. Who could it be? I rush down the hall and stop short when I see her.“Aria!” I exclaim, throwing my arms around her.“Emily!” she cries, hugging me

Aria’s POVI slowly wake up, my head pounding and my mouth dry. The sunlight filters through the curtains, and I squint, trying to remember where I am. As my surroundings come into focus, I notice I'm in my room.Thank goodness I made it to bed last night. I sit up and suddenly recall everything I said while I was drunk. My heart races in panic. Did I mention Caleb? I felt so vulnerable, and now the memory stings.I throw off the blanket and rush to the living room. I need to talk to Emily and Maira. As I enter the room, my heart sinks. They are still asleep, curled up together on the couch. Emily's head rests on Maira's shoulder, and they look peaceful.Guilt washes over me. They shouldn't have had to drink with me. I feel like such a burden. Maybe I should sneak out before I wake them.I step quietly toward the door, but then Maira's voice breaks the silence. "Where are you going?"I freeze in my tracks. "Uh, just... out for some air?" I say awkwardly, trying to sound casual."Stop

Aria’s POVAfter lunch with the girls, I quickly board a cab back home.“Well, more like Sebastien's place,” I murmur to myself.Soon enough, I get there and I get out of the car.As I walk towards the door, I remind myself to stay aware of my surroundings. The mansion’s surroundings are so quiet. Sebastien said something about having ghost staff. In other words, they were barely seen. There wasn't a soul in sight.But just as I reach the door, I notice something strange. A red light shone across my stomach. I freeze, my heart racing. What is that?I open my mouth to call out, “Sebastien?” But before I can say anything, there’s a loud crack. A sharp pain jolts close to my heart, and everything goes black.---Sebastien’s POVThe alarms blare, cutting through the calm of the afternoon. I jump up from my desk, my heart racing. “What the hell?” I mutter as I sprint toward the door.I fling it open and rush outside. “Aria!” I shout, panic gripping my chest. She was lying down crumpled on
