As Anastasia was dragged out of the hotel, she was immediately swarmed by a wall of reporters pushing microphones into her face."Ms. Anastasia, is it true you’re obsessed with Damien Blackwood?""Are you the one who posted that video of him, ma'am?""How many weeks will you be serving in prison? Ma'am, please answer!"Anastasia was already completely overwhelmed by the humiliation Damien had just put her through. The barrage of noise and flashing lights sent her straight from sensory overload into sheer, unadulterated rage. Even though Officer Richmond tried to keep the crowd back, the situation was rapidly spiraling out of control."Please do not ask the suspect any questions! Make way, please!" Richmond yelled, trying to clear a path.Unable to take it for another second, Anastasia snapped. "Yes, you bastards, yes!" she screamed, her voice cracking with fury. "I did everything you said! Am I the first? No! And I'm damn sure not going to be the last, so leave me the hell alone!"The

As Anastasia was getting dressed, she looked at herself in the dirty mirror. The glass was caked in dust and coated with slimy streaks she didn't even want to identify. Tears burst from her eyes, hot and bitter against her cheeks."How did I get here?" she muttered to herself, drowning in self-pity.

"He's probably frantic looking for me right now. It's

It was the woman's turn to look utterly bewildered. "How can you not know her? Think! Think very carefully, you have to know her! Please, I just need to know!" she pleaded, grabbing her own hair and tugging at it frantically as panic set in.Anastasia exchanged a wary glance with Linda. "I think this woman has completely lost her mind," she whispered, backing away until her spine hit the heavy cell bars.Linda nodded in agreement, but her inner blogger curiosity was already sparked. A mystery like this was too juicy to walk away from. Judging by the woman's age, even if there was a Sarah Blackwood in the family, she would be from an older generation, which explained why neither of them recognized the name offhand.Taking a brave step forward and drawing a deep breath, Linda looked the woman in the eyes. "I'll tell you about Sarah Blackwood."The woman, who had been muttering and pulling at her hair, froze. She lifted her head, her sharp, focused gaze locking onto Linda. "Really?" she

"From what I saw back inside, you're really not that naive kid anymore." Ethan’s face fell as the chaotic events in the hall rushed back into his mind. "Yeah... how could I be? I've dealt with too many betrayals to keep thinking like that, Elijah. I just didn't..." "You didn't expect it to come from someone so close, right?" Elijah finished for him. Ethan nodded quietly. "Exactly. I never expected it—not in a million years. Anastasia was always so kind to me, so supportive... What could have possibly made her turn into this?" "We'll probably never know," Elijah replied softly. "But that kind of betrayal? I've actually seen it before." Ethan furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Where?" "With you, Ethan," Elij
