The journalists are leaning forward, their pens poised with their recorders ready. I have done this before because I have faced the media before. I know how to handle them.

And she deserves to be happy."The questions come fast and furious."Are you saying you support her relationship with Alistair?""I am saying I support her," I say. "She is family. And family stands together.""Even after everything she did?""Especially after everything she did," I say. "That is what family does. We forgive, we heal and we move forward together."I look out at the crowd. I see the faces of the journalists. I see the cameras. I see the world watching."Elara is my niece," I say again.

MIRA'S POV:I am so fucking furious right now, as in I am literally raging. I am burning with a fury that has been building for weeks, a fury that has been simmering beneath the surface of my carefully constructed facade, waiting for the moment when I could finally let it loose.

The police have come and gone. The forensic team has dusted for prints. The security company has installed new locks and cameras. But the fear remains, a cold knot in my chest that I cannot seem to untangle. I catch myself looking over my shoulder every time I step into a room.I have not been able to sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I see the destruction. The torn sketches. The slashed fabric. The mannequins knocked over like fallen soldiers. Everything I have been working on for months, destroyed in a single act of malice. My hands still shake whenever I think about the ruined clothes sitting on the floor.I have been doing my own research. I have been tracking Mira's movements, her connections, her patterns. I have been digging into her past, her finances, her relationships. I know she hired a private
