Chapter: CHAPTER 17 Camellia’s pace quickened, the city blurring around her. His footsteps followed, steady and relentless, and each one tightened the knot in her chest. No matter how far she went, his voice chased her.“Camellia… Camellia.”Williams caught up, his hand closing gently around her arm. “Wait. Please.”She stopped, but didn’t turn. The warmth of his touch burned through her sleeve, sending shivers across her skin. “What do you want from me?” Her voice was stern, almost cold.Breathless, Williams stepped in front of her, eyes searching her face. But when she refused to meet his gaze, his chest fell with a sigh. “I just want to talk,” he said softly, almost pleading. “I didn’t mean to scare you last night.”Slowly, she lifted her head, eyes wary. “Why? Why do you want to talk to me? You don’t know me.”His jaw tightened, his voice dropping to a whisper. “How could I not?”Camellia frowned, but he pressed on, offering a faint smile. “Because I want to be your friend.”“Friend?” she repeated, s

Chapter: CHAPTER 16 Williams' breath hitched. Her eyes, even in the dim streetlights, held a depth that pulled him in.They weren't just looking, they were seeing.They were the kind of eyes that had witnessed too much, yet still held a fragile, almost defiant, spark. He felt a jolt, like a forgotten melody suddenly returning to him.Camellia felt a tremor run through her as her pulse raised. her hands tightening around Amy’s. She should have looked away, should have broken free from that gaze… but she couldn’t. His eyes held something raw, something searching, as though he could see straight through her.Amy, oblivious to the storm between them, skipped forward. “Willy! Hey!”The silence snapped.

Ignoring the hand, she offered only a hesitant, polite sm

Chapter: CHAPTER 15 That evening, Williams lay sprawled on his bed, headphones tossed aside, when he heard a bang on the door.“Come in,” he muttered.His father stepped in, voice sharp as steel. “Williams. We need to talk.”Williams sat up slowly, already bracing. “About what?”“Your future. Enough with this music nonsense. The force needs young blood, and you’re fit for it.”Williams clenched his jaw. “Dad, I’ve said it a thousand times. I’m not throwing away my dream just to chase criminals.”“Williams!”He cut him off, heat rising in his chest. “Ain’t parents supposed to back their kids up? You’ve never supported me. Not once. And now that I finally got into MM Academy, you’re still against me? I thought you’d be proud. Guess I was wrong.

Chapter: Chapter 14 [next day] A week later, the scent of fresh paint still clung faintly to the air in their new apartment, a welcome change from the musty hotel room. Sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating boxes still waiting to be unpacked, yet a sense of calm was slowly settling in.“A breath of fresh air” Camellia murmured, almost to herself.But Amy was beaming.“ See, I did a good job… a perfect place for us,” Amy said, spinning slowly in the middle of the room like a child seeing snow for the first time.For the first time in days, Camellia’s lips curved into a genuine smile. “Yeah. You did great.”“Of course,” Amy said, a whirlwind of energy surged through her as she started unpacking and both girls set to do the job.Amy was quick to embrace the city. She already knew which streets smelled of fresh bread in the mornings, which corners played the liveliest music at night, and somehow, she was already exchanging numbers with strangers who’d become friends.

Chapter: “Eyes That Haunt”Chapter 13[ At a mini studio]“For fuck’s sake Ethan, what are we doing here?” Williams asked with a frown, while Ethan remained silent and moved to the computer on the side table, scrolling.Ethan had pulled him to their mini studio, and Williams was still mad he’d ruined his moment with the lady at the park.”“Here!” Ethan suddenly exclaimed, his grin wide and eyes glued to the screen.Williams stared at him blankly like some weirdo. “ What do you mean, we’re in?”“Well… “ Ethan spun the monitor toward him grinning widely. “ It means we freaking made it!
