Oh my god, Elliana!" but it sounded distant, muffled.Everything went dark.When I came to, I was in a hospital bed, surrounded by beeping machines and sterile white walls. Tom's worried face hovered above me."Elliana, thank god you're awake," he whispered, his eyes red-rimmed.I tried to speak, but my throat burned. "What...what happened?"Tom's expression turned grim. "You were poisoned, Elliana. We don't know who did it yet, but the police are investigating."My mind reeled as I struggled to remember. The audition, the play, Stacy and Max's malice...it all came flooding back.I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my head. Tom gently pushed me back down. "Don't try to move, Elliana.

NEW ENVIRONMENTELLIANA'S POVThe next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Tom was sitting on the couch, sipping a cup of coffee, his eyes fixed on me."Good morning," he said, smiling. "How are you feeling?"I stretched, yawned, and sat up. "Better. Thanks for taking care of me."Tom nodded. "We need to get out of here. My penthouse is ready. We can stay there until we figure out what's going on."I nodded, eager to get out of the city. "Okay.

EVILELLIANA'S POVI still can't believe how much my life has changed since I met Tom. He's been so kind and patient with me, trying to help me regain my memories. But there's someone else who's been playing a big role in my life lately - Stacy.At first, I thought Stacy was just being friendly, trying to help me adjust to my new life.
