VIVIAN

I tried to pull myself together. I didn’t want him to worry more than he already was. So I nodded and forced a little smile, even though my chest still felt tight.

“Yeah,” I said quietly. “Everything is fine.”

He looked at me for a second longer, like he wasn’t fully convinced, but he didn’t push. Instead, he shifted his attention back to Ronald.

Ronald, who looked a little too calm now.

He held my phone in his hand and extended it to me like it was a gift. “It’s done,” he said, with a strange calmness in his voice. “The videos are in your phone now.”

I didn’t take my eyes off him as I reached for it. I checked the screen quickly. There was a folder named “Recovered” in my files, and it had a bunch of video files inside it. I hadn't opened them yet, but just seeing them there made my heart feel relieved.

I had waited so long for this moment. Too long.

Zander moved closer and looked down at the screen too. Then he turned his sharp eyes to Ronald.

    VIVIAN When Zander’s phone rang and his eyebrows slowly lifted as he looked at the screen, I could tell something about the call that caught his attention.Without saying a word, he stepped away and walked a short distance, holding the phone up to his ear.I watched him quietly, with my heart feeling uneasy. I didn’t know who was calling or what it was about, but the way he reacted made me wonder if it was serious. Or maybe something urgent?Then I remembered Ronald was still sitting in front of me with his laptop.I turned my eyes toward him slowly, not really wanting to look at him, but I did anyway.“I have to say,” Ronald said, his voice lower than before, “After what you just did… I mean the way you healed me… I regret it.”I frowned. “Regret what?” I asked.“Cheating on you. Divorcing you,” he said, his eyes actually looking soft for once.I stared at him, stunned, but then I let out a cold laugh. “Tell that to the birds, Ronald.” Then I scoffed.“I’m serious,” he said. “Vivian

    VIVIAN Ronald just stood there in front of me, staring at his hands like they were something new… like they weren’t part of his body before at all.His fingers moved slowly as he turned his palms over, studying every inch like he didn’t trust what he was seeing.It was strange watching him like that and my brows furrowed. He looked amazed, shocked even, like a man who had been blind his whole life and suddenly opened his eyes for the first time.He wiggled his fingers, then lifted both hands into the air, almost as if he expected them to vanish. Then he began checking other parts of his body.I crossed my arms and stood quietly, just watching him.His chest rose and fell with deep, steady breaths now unlike before. Color was also coming back into his skin, and he didn’t look like death anymore. He looked alive. Completely healed.After a few more seconds, he finally turned to me, with his eyes wide and almost shining with disbelief.“You healed me…” he whispered like he couldn’t beli

    VIVIAN I stood in front of Ronald and took a deep breath, as I let my fingers stretch out slowly making the warmth of my magic begin to rise inside me.This was it. The final moment.I was going to do what I said I would, even though I had every reason not to. I wasn't doing this because I cared about Ronald.Left to me, I would have happily watched him die. But I just had to do something so I could get the video.I looked down at Ronald, and for a second again, I thought about how easy it would be to just walk away.After everything he had done—after all the pain, the manipulation, the betrayal—he didn’t deserve kindness. He didn’t deserve mercy. Especially not from me.But I reminded myself again that I wasn't doing this for him. I was doing this because of the people I cared about. I didn't want my death to take a toll on them.So that video had to be destroyed to prevent me from dying if it was exposed to the public.And this healing plan was the only way to make sure that happe

    VIVIAN I looked at Ronald, lying there on the ground and groaning. His nose was bleeding, and his lips were swollen from the punches I gave him.But even with how broken he looked, I still didn’t feel sorry for him, and neither did I trust him.My heart wanted to doubt him again. My brain kept whispering that he was a liar. A manipulator. A backstabber. That he would still try to do something bad to us after we heal him. But I had to shut those voices out.I took a deep breath and forced myself to push all my doubts away.It wasn’t easy. In fact, it was one of the hardest things I had ever done.Because I knew what Ronald did. I remembered the pain, the betrayal, the tears that burned my cheeks when I realized that Ronald had cheated on me and asked for a divorce. And also that he had worked with the Circle to destroy me.But I had to let that go, for now. I had to put all that anger aside. Because if I wanted my magic to work, I couldn’t carry that kind of doubt and malice against

    VIVIAN I begin to think back on how I lashed out at Zander and gave him the cold shoulder this morning.I regretted my actions because I felt I might have been too hard on him. Right now I was warmed by what he told me about his plans with Lucas.I had been so cold to him. I knew it. I had also said things I didn’t mean. I looked at him like he didn’t matter. I acted like I didn’t care if he walked out that door and never came back.But deep down, I did care.I cared more than I wanted to admit.I was just angry… confused… maybe even scared. Scared that maybe he wasn’t really with me. That maybe, I was just being foolish to keep hoping. Because we had our chance to get this video and he refused.So I shut him out. That was why I gave him that cold silence. I didn’t even let him explain himself properly. I just assumed the worst because it was easier than getting hurt again.But now… now I was here in Ronald’s room, looking at Zander, and all I could feel was warmth in my chest.Becau
