Samuel watched her leave, then looked back toward the elevator.Jenna drove out of the parking lot still shaken by what she had seen. She tried to convince herself she had imagined it. But halfway down the road, something made her glance at the rear‑view mirror.Lily was sitting in the back seat.Jenna’s breath caught in her throat. She slammed her foot on the brake, the car jerking violently. “How ? You weren’t”Lily smiled, calm and unbothered. “You saw something you shouldn’t have.”Jenna’s voice shook. “What are you?”Lily leaned forward, her eyes glowing faintly. “Someone you will listen to for the rest of your life.”Jenna

Her heart raced as she watched him approach, his dark eyes locking onto hers with an intensity that sent shivers down her spine.“Bloom,” he called softly, his voice a smooth balm in the warm air. “You came.”“I’ve always been here,” she replied, her voice echoing in the tranquil atmosphere.

The demon guard mind linked Rebecca and told her about the situation. “Your Majesty,” a guard interrupted, bowing slightly as he approached. “We’ve searched the grounds. She is nowhere to be found.”Rebecca’s brow furrowed in irritation. “Find her. ”Rebecca appered in the mainsion almost immediately, scanning Bloom's bedroom, analyzing what could have happened.
