31. Do you recognize me?

MIRANDAI tightened my grip on the glass of wine, my heart pounding as I scanned the crowded room. Daniel sat too close to Sophia, his smile wide and inviting. The sight twisted my stomach.The worst part was that Sophia was smiling at him, she looks so happy, I could see she was already falling for him, while Daniel was winking at me. Isn't it absurd? It was so infuriating. What was his plan with her? Why would she ever fall for someone like him?“And you are?” Daniel’s voice dripped with mock curiosity, pulling my focus away from Sophia. My eyes were already turning red with anger. Please, moon goddess, don’t let him use her for his stupid motives. I don't trust him."She's Miranda Cosgrove, my best friend," she replied, stepping in for me. Honestly, I didn’t even want to respond.Gosh this dickhead! Sophia nudged me, prompting me to force a smile at her. I shot Daniel a stern look, but he met my gaze with an evil grin and still winked at me.“Sophia, let’s get out of here. Where

32. The mysterious figure.

MIRANDA POV"Please... don't... harm... me," I stammered, my voice trembling as chills raced down my spine. Cold sweat pooled at the back of my neck. My eyes began scanning the room desperately searching for an escape, I spotted a door at the far end of the room. Without considering the consequences, I ran as fast as I could, my footsteps echoing. I glanced back; he stood there, unmoving, slowly tilting his head toward me. My heart raced as I yanked the door open and dashed outside.The area felt eerily empty as I hugged myself against the cold, wrapping my arms around my shoulders. The chilling wind whipped around me, causing the trees across the way to sway. I realized I was behind the club building.I needed to be cautious about where I went. Though my mind felt foggy, I couldn’t shake the unsettling thought of what she meant by "good to see you again."Right now, I’m hiding behind the club building, unable to move any further. A sharp ache throbbed in my back, and each step sent

33. The Text message.

MIRANDA "Miranda."I knew that voice all too well—it was Oliver. He ran toward me, panting as he took me in with a glance from head to toe before pulling me into a hug. Meanwhile, I could barely breathe, still coughing from how tightly her hands had been wrapped around my neck."Now you see why I told you to stay home, huh?"He pulled back from the hug, taking a step away before grabbing my hand and leading me behind him."Who are you?" Oliver demanded, his voice echoing through the darkness. His eyes were fixed on her as she struggled on the ground, trying to free her legs from the rope tangled around them, groaning quietly under her breath.The area was so dark I could barely make out the details. She didn’t respond, nor did she beg for her life. Her hands were focused solely on the rope, while Oliver scoffed in frustration.He moved closer to her as she quickened her pace, her fingers working desperately at the ropes. Oliver bent down."Something's off about the way I'm sensing fe

34. A maid?

MIRANDAThe warm breeze brushed across my face as I rested my hands on the parapet, gazing at the city in the distance.It had been two days since I last stepped outside the mansion. I missed my friends. The silence here only made me feel more isolated, but I had been studying, all while trying to endure the anger of the triplets for what I'd done."Want a coffee?"I heard a voice from behind me. Turning, I saw Owen walking toward me, holding two cups of coffee. He handed me one as he reached my side, and I took a sip before returning my gaze to the horizon.Owen smiled at me. "Hope you are getting better."I nodded. "The wounds are all closed. I'm just feeling a little pain there, and that's about it.""Good to hear." He thrust his hands into his pockets."When was the last time you spoke to your mom? Do you know when they're arriving?"I shook my head. "I really don't know the specific date, but I'm sure they will arrive before the week ends.""I doubt that.""Why?" I asked, my curi
