Going out again? " Leila's sarcastic voice rang out as Natalie made her way to the entrance where her driver was waiting for her.

"it's too early for that Leila, your back up is gone, you should know when to give up right? " Natalie said deliberately trying to irk her. "Your tricks will be exposed, I know that! "Leila screamed.

"Miss Leila, your brother asks for you. He's in his study." A maid's voice interrupted. Natalie smirked. Leila gave a disdainful look towards her hissed and walked away. Natalie stifled a laugh and got into the car. Lorenzo was away on a business trip, it was her window of opportunity to find concrete evidence on her uncle.

Fiona met her in the lobby immediately she arrived, it seemed like she had actually been waiting a long time for her.

"what is it? " she asked as they walked towards the elevator. Fiona handed her a bunch if files when they got in. Natalie skimmed through it. Her eyes widened.

"This..... " She looked at Fiona.

    "you shouldn't just try my love, you should strive. Believe me, I'm on this team. We aren't going to break." Fiona said. Natalie gave a cranky smile. " Yes boss." The next day, she was preparing to go to the studio when she stumbled on lorezno preparing to go out also. They stared at each for half a beat, then she looked away first swallowing nervously. They were more like strangers now. She just wanted to be done and move on with her life. Lorenzo came towards her. "Cara, you've been scarce lately." he said. She didn't reply, mostly because she didn't know what to say. Lorenzo sighed. "You said you'd help, no more secrets remember? I've been honest. What about you? " he asked. Her eyes shot to him immediately. "don't act like whatever I have to say is important to you." she whipped out ,and then caught a flash of something in his eyes , but it was fleeting and she couldn't decipher what it was. "And why would you say that?" he said. "Even if I knew something, yo

  • The Devil Who Bought Me    Chapter Forty-Nine : Commentary

    Natalie didn't know why she turned on the entertainment gossip channel that morning. She had woken up quite late, had her bath and was settling into her carefully laid out breakfast. She opened her phone and decided to scroll through some industry gossip. What she didn't expect to see was her name being mentioned as the top trending topic on instagram. she read the blog post. “The Perfume Queen’s Isn’t What She Seems…” 💋> Funny how everyone is obsessed with this so-called Rebecca, the mysterious mask-wearing perfume maker.But has anyone asked why she hides her face?

    Elsewhere, in the shade of a marble pavilion, Leila sat with her friends, her laughter sharp and cruel. Their glasses clinked as they whispered about Natalie. "your brother's wife doesn't frequent here anymore, we haven't seen her since the last time?" Camille said sipping her drink. Leila scoffed. "A lot happened since the last time. Lorenzo moved her to make peace." "oh, I see" Camille said but she didn't really see at all. She knew Leila was trouble and Lorenzo had probably moved his wife for her sake not for his sister's. "I don't wanna talk about her, she annoys my spirit." Leila.said. “I swear, she thinks she’s clever, see the way she acted the last time. "one girl sneered. Leila narrowed her eyes. “Clever? She hides behind that ridiculous mask, calling herself Rebecca. Perfume-maker? Please. It’s Natalie. I’d bet everything on it.” Gasps and murmurs rippled. "You should not make claims like that," Camille said with a low voice. Leila gave her a look. "si

    The studio plunged into semi-darkness, shadows swallowing corners. The neon ring light above the set flickered once before Anita yanked its cord. Adrien cursed under his breath, fumbling toward the door, but Fiona’s voice cracked like a whip. “Don't move, This stuff is getting weirder with every passing second." Natalie’s lungs worked in shallow bursts. Every nerve screamed to run, but Fiona’s grip anchored her to the chair. The phone lay on the couch, black screen reflecting the glow of the emergency exit sign. Silent now, but poisonous as a coiled snake. Anita shoved the bolt across the main door and whispered, “If they’re outside, Fi, we’re boxed in.” The workers started panicking. Fiona shot them a look. They reduced their voices instantly, limiting it to whispers. “Then we keep them out,” Fiona snapped. she turned to the workers. "And I think you all are more useful elsewhere than here. Take a break," Her eyes never left Natalie. “Look at me, Nat. Breathe. Whoever sent tha

    Fiona’s jaw was tight. “Send it to him. If this is in anyway connected to Lorenzo, if this was on his ground, then he needs to see what someone is feeding you. Otherwise, they get to control the story. Everything you're trying to build might just come crashing down on you." Anita leaned against the table, arms crossed, her expression caught between fear and fury. “Fi’s right. Whoever’s playing this game wants Natalie cornered and doubting everyone. If we loop Lorenzo in, at least we’ll see if he flinches. Then maybe, just maybe I can make sense of what is going on here." “But what if he thinks it’s me?” Natalie’s voice cracked. “What if he decides I’ve been hiding something all along? You know what he’s capable of. And I still don't remember what happened the night his brother died." Silence filled the room, heavy as wet stone. Fiona finally crouched in front of her, forcing Natalie to meet her eyes. “Listen to me. This isn’t about blame anymore. It’s about survival. Right now,

    Midafternoon, a courier in a neat cap tapped at the studio door. “Delivery for Rebecca,” he said, polite and bored. Fiona signed, suspicious on principle, and set the long white box on the table. Inside, nestled in tissue, lay a bouquet of white lilies and midnight roses. It was indulgent and ominous at the same time. There was no card. "who could this be from? " Fiona asked. Natalie shrugged. "A fan? " she suggested. Fiona scoffed. Natalie leaned in and the scent rose, cool and heavy. Lilies—sweet, almost funerary. Roses, cut before their full bloom, that peppery green of stems. Underneath, a thread of something else… metallic, like rain on iron. Her stomach flipped. The room blurred. A sound—not sound—memory, perhaps: the crackle of tires on gravel. A laugh behind her shoulder not meant for her. A white cuff speckled dark. A ring—gold, carved with a griffin—spinning where it fell, the world holding its breath to listen. She was remembering. was it... That night? “Natal
