WHISPER LS AND CHAMPAGNEANNIE'S POV.I swallowed the lump forming in my throat, forcing my face to remain a mask of a cool unbothered look."Sure," I said smoothly, forcing a gentle smile onto my lips. "It's no problem at all, Dr. Helena."Helena’s smile widened slightly, a glint of triumph flickering across her eyes. "Thank you, dear.

GOLDEN ARMORANNIE'S POVThe morning sun filtered through the sheer curtains of my bedroom, casting a soft, golden glow across the room.I woke up with a heavy, uneasy knot tied tightly in my stomach. The lingering terror from my encounter with Lina and Damian last night hadn't vanished with the sunrise. Their malicious threats echoed at the back of my mind.Every instinct told me that whatever trap Lina was setting, it was going to detonate right when I least expected it.The sound of knuckles rapping against my bedroom door pulled me out of my dark thoughts."Come in," I called out, sitting up against the headboard.The door swung open, but it wasn't Mira this time. Instead, a professional looking woman carrying a large rolling makeup case stepped inside, followed by two assistants holding garment bags and styling tools."Good morning, Miss Moonbane," the lead stylist smiled brightly, stepping into the room with an aura of authority.
