Later that evening, as Ariel stepped into the bar, the smell of cigarettes and the sounds of laughter filled the air. She took a deep breath, adjusting her black shirt.

“Just serve drinks. Be polite. Don’t panic.” She murmured under her breath.

The place was busier than she had expected for a weeknight. Every table was occupied… in the far corner, several poker tables were surrounded by serious faced players.

“There you are!” Stacy appeared beside her, already dressed in the uniform… black pa

    The first one said: “23 hours, Ariel. Have you decided yet? Time is moving faster than you think.”The second one was even colder: “Remember, it is either him or you. It’s his career or your entire future. You have to choose wisely.”The third message was like a set of instructions: “The pills are very small. Just slip them into his desk drawer when he isn't looking, notify me when you’ve done that. Then, an anonymous tip will go to the campus police. It is very simple. One small move and your problems go away forever.”Ariel’s hands began to shake so violently that she almost dropped the phone on the floor. She reached into her backpack and pulled out the small plastic bag of white pills. She held them up to the light and stared at them. They looked so tiny. It was hard to believe that such small, round things could hold such massive, life-changing consequences for someone she loved.“I can’t do this,” she whispered to the empty room, her eyes filling with tears. “I can’t frame him.

    Ariel laid perfectly still inside her room, staring at the ceiling. She had not slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the same thing: images of her life falling apart, her mother’s crying face, and Luther being led away in handcuffs. The piercing sound of her morning alarm finally began to blare from her nightstand. It felt like a physical blow to her head.Ariel reached out with a trembling hand and silenced the noise. Her phone was right there, lying beside her pillow like a venomous snake. She had been checking it obsessively every twenty minutes throughout the long, dark night. She had been waiting for the next strike, the next threatening message from the person who was so determined to tear her world down.The 48-hour deadline was no longer a far-off problem. It was now less than 24 hours away. The clock was ticking, and with every second, the weight on her chest grew heavier, making it hard to even take a deep breath. “Twenty-four hours,” she whispered into the empty,

    Ethan followed her inside, he sat down at the kitchen counter awkwardly, while Susan busied herself with the kettle.“I hope you enjoyed dinner with us the other night,” Susan said gently, glancing over her shoulder as she arranged the cups.“Yes, ma’am. Thank you for having me,” Ethan replied, his voice softening slightly.Susan set down a steaming cup of tea in front of him. “Ethan, can I ask you something? And I need you to be honest with me.”“Of course,” Ethan said, leaning slightly forward.“Has Ariel seemed… different to you today?” Susan asked, studying him carefully.Ethan’s chest lifted with relief that someone else noticed. “Yes! She’s been really distant. Won’t talk to me, avoids my calls. I thought maybe Daniel said something to her, but I don’t know… something feels off. She’s… different, and I don’t know why.”Susan nodded slowly. “Daniel’s been worried about her too. Something’s wrong, but she won’t tell us.”Ethan’s voice dropped, almost a whisper. “Do you think it’s

    Ethan sat at the dining table in the Cross mansion, pushing his food around his plate without much interest. His mind was elsewhere, racing with a thousand thoughts about Ariel. She hadn’t spoken to him properly all day, and he hadn’t even been able to reach her on the phone. Each passing hour without her words felt like an eternity. He poked at the mashed potatoes again, sighing, wishing he could simply teleport to her side.“Ethan, sweetheart, you’ve barely touched your food. Are you feeling alright?” Eleanor, his mother, asked softly, placing a hand over his and giving him a concerned look.Ethan glanced up at her, forcing a weak smile. “I’m fine, Mom. Really. Just… tired, I guess.”Reginald, his father, raised an eyebrow, leaning back in his chair with a knowing expression. “You don’t look fine, Ethan. You look distracted. Is it about that girl you’ve been seeing? The one everyone seems to talk about?”Ethan’s fork clattered to the plate as he set it down, a flash of irritation cr

    She pictured Luther’s face… not the professor in a suit, but the man in his apartment, the man whose eyes held such a fierce, protective spark. He’d hate her forever if he found out she betrayed him like this.“But if I don’t…”She pictured the alternative: the explicit photos of them together plastered across the internet. Her mother would find out. The shock would devastate her. Her step-father, Richard, wouldn't just be angry; he would use this against her, against her mother, perhaps even kicking them out. She’d be expelled from school. Luther would be fired anyway when the photos went public.“At least this way, only he’d suffer the immediate consequences. Not both of us. Not my mother.”But that thought made her physically sick. She pressed her knuckles against her temples, trying to force the rational choice. It wasn't a choice between right and wrong; it was a choice between her life and his.She almost called Luther. Her finger hovered over his contact… professor Grayson. One

    Ariel was currently sitting with Stacy in the cafeteria, however, the morning was dull. She had barely touched her breakfast plate. Her focus was entirely on her phone resting on the table. The message was still there, a digital poison: “Do what I ask. Or everyone finds out.”“Girl, you’ve been staring at that phone like it’s going to explode,” Stacy said, pushing her own plate away with a sigh. She leaned closer, her voice dropping. “What’s going on? And don’t say ‘nothing’ because I know you better than that. You’ve barely spoken since you got here.”Ariel managed a stiff, strained smile, the effort of which made her cheek muscles ache. “Just… family stuff,” she mumbled, her eyes still flicking to the phone screen. She picked up her fork, stirring the eggs pointlessly, trying to look normal. Her heart hammered against her ribs.Stacy’s expression softened. “That’s terrible what happened?”“I’m fine. Really. Just tired,” Ariel insisted, turning her body slightly to shield the phone f
