“Do you still have to go back on stage?” I asked nervously, watching Jazper Ray as he played with my fingers.

My heart was pounding. I didn’t know if I could win later. That woman in black had looked so confident. And now she was nowhere to be seen, like she’d vanished into thin air.

Jazper Ray smirked. “You want to steal your date and sneak out early?”

I laughed. “Why not? It’s our last night here. Besides, I don’t think I’ll win.”

He gently touched my lower lip. “Your wish is always my comman

    “That’s not Erin, Ericka,” Jazper Ray whispered, trying to calm her. “I know she followed everything we told her.”She nodded, trembling, and held out her hand. “Here.”Jazper Ray placed Erin’s pendant in her palm. “You promised her, right? This is the promise you made until we bring her back.”A new man entered, his gaze sharp and threatening. Ericka clenched her fists, trying to be strong, knowing she had to survive,for her sister.Jazper Ray opened the pendant, and a small, familiar message appeared. “Ego Semper Amabo Te?”Ericka gasped. “That… that’s what Mama always told us.”“What does it mean?” Jazper Ray asked softly.“I love you… always and forever,” she whispered, her voice trembling with a mix of grief and hope.I closed my eyes, overwhelmed by the tears I’d been holding back for years

    Miggy’s voice was low but stubborn. “Just give her back to me.”Jazper Ray tightened his grip on my arm. “You’re not going anywhere with her.” His jaw locked, still trying to shield me even with a gun pointed our way.Miggy laughed , not out of humor, but like someone who had run out of patience. “You think she’s yours? She’s mine.”Before Jazper could fire back, a voice cut in. Ericka stepped forward, arms crossed, her eyes glittering with smugness. “That’s where you’re wrong.”Jazper’s grip faltered slightly. “Ericka?”“She was never yours to begin with,” Ericka said, tilting her head at me. “You don’t know the truth about her. But I do. I made sure of it… in case the first plan failed.”A chill crawled down my spine. “First plan?” I whispered.Her lips curved. “To get rid of yo

    "After you picked almost all the flowers from us, you were so happy to run away. I went with you when you saw your mom. You called out to her and ran straight into her arms—""I know," I cut him off. My voice cracked. "I already know what happened next." Tears spilled down my cheeks. "I know… that I was the reason my mom died."Jazper Ray pulled me into a tight embrace. "It was never your fault, Audrey. It was just… her time. It will never be your fault."I felt Ericka stand up behind me and place her hand on my back. "I know how you feel. I saw her before too. But Audrey… just like Jazper Ray said, whatever happened back then—it wasn’t your fault. Life was just testing us.""Magnificent," Lucas said with slow, mocking applause. "You’re being played by fate."I ignored him, looking only at Jazper Ray and Ericka. "Then why… why don’t I remember anything?""We don’t know either, A

    “W-what?” I stammered, my voice weak. “H-how… how could that happen? Ericka is not my sister.”I shook my head hard, looking at him as if begging him to make sense of this.“You’re wrong. I have a sister, but it’s not Ericka. Her name is Anya. Anya!” My voice broke. “Are you all going crazy?”Jazper Ray lowered his forehead to mine, his expression torn. “Audrey… he’s telling the truth.”I blinked at him, stunned. My mind spun. How? Why couldn’t I remember?“Why don’t you tell Ericka how it all started?” Sassy’s voice cut through, sharp and cold. She lifted the gun and aimed it at us.Ericka lowered her head, staring at her hands. She hesitated, as if the words weighed too much.“It was after Christmas…” she began softly.December 27, 1996The day they were to scatter th

    We stepped out.Sassy stood directly opposite, her mouth slightly open, her eyes locked on us in disbelief. Around her were six men, their stance protective, circling an old man in a wheelchair. My gaze froze on his face. He seemed familiar—too familiar.But then I saw him.The man standing beside the old one.My chest tightened. My heartbeat thundered in my ears. I knew that face. I knew him. And nothing in me was ready for it.He was wearing the same shirt color as every time we’d met.When my eyes landed on his face, it felt like my whole world tilted. How could this be? Why him?“Migs…” The name slipped out, my voice caught between surprise and fear.“Why?”“Audrey…” he answered softly, almost dreamlike.If I’d been confused earlier, now I was drowning in it. My questions doubled in an instant. I tried to take a step forward, but Jazper Ray blocked

    Suddenly, my whole body went cold. My muscles tensed, and my heart began to pound.This is the place.Right here, where we’re standing.Worst of all… this could be the same prison where Jazper Ray was tortured.I stared at him in shock, my hand flying to cover my mouth. I didn’t know why, but tears began to spill again. Jazper Ray pulled me into his shoulder, his arms wrapping around me.“I’m sorry… I’m sorry, Audrey,” he murmured.“W-why?” My voice cracked. “Why do you have to repeat everything? Why do they have to remind you of it all? Why do you have to torture me again? I’m already confused, Jazper Ray.” I sobbed harder. “I don’t even know who’s behind this. I don’t have enemies. I haven’t been slandered. Ericka and Sassy are the only ones I know who are mad at me, but Ericka swore it wasn’t her. Then who? And why would Lucas w

    There was a bridge just past the court, and it led straight into a forest. This place was massive. Still, you wouldn't be afraid to walk around, as almost every path was lit.I was out of breath. We’d been running for a while, and I wasn’t built for this. I hated hiking, hated sweating. Add the fac

    My whole body went cold when I heard what he said.Another first.Why did he keep catching me off guard? Maybe because we were still in that awkward "getting to know each other" phase, even if it came with a contract.We stepped onto the court, and I couldn’t stop my eyes from wandering. The place

    "Can you be more careful next time, Audrey?" he asked, voice tight with anger.Crap. He was really mad. Did he just call me by my full name?He called his bodyguard in to grab the contract and even checked the CCTV to make sure no one else saw the paper I left out. Luckily, no one did.I was lookin

    As we stepped into the room, I saw his dad and grandmother already seated at a long table, deep in conversation. They didn’t notice us right away.The table was packed with food, fresh fruits, and a variety of cocktails. A maid entered quietly, adding another dish to the spread. Everything looked l
