Juliet sat on Adrian’s couch staring at the photo of Mia and the warning note. Her hands wouldn’t stop shaking.“Next time it won’t be your friend. It’ll be your mother.”Adrian paced the living room. His jaw was tight. “I’m going to find Voss and end this. He crossed a line by touching Mia.”Juliet looked up at him. “What if it’s not just Voss? What if the person sending the notes is working with him? What if they're both in this together?”Before Adrian could answer, there was a knock at the door. He opened it carefully. No one was there. Only a brown package sat on the floor. He bent low and took it, then closed the door back and went inside.He brought it inside and set it on the coffee table. Juliet watched as he opened it.Inside were old divorce papers. Adrian’s name and Elena’s name were printed clearly at the top. Under the papers was a photo of Juliet as a teenager standing in the living room of her childhood home. The angle made it clear someone had been inside the house.A

Juliet sat on the edge of Adrian’s bed the next morning. She still wore one of his shirts. The words from last night kept turning in her head.Elena was Voss’s sister. They had planned everything together from the start.Adrian stood by the window already dressed. He checked his phone, then looked at her.“You didn’t sleep much,” he said.“Neither did you.” Juliet pulled her knees up. “She’s really his sister?”“Yes.”“And they’ve been working against you this whole time?”Adrian nodded once. “Elena wants me ruined. Voss wants Luna. They used each other.”Juliet’s hands tightened on the shirt. “What do we do now?”“We face it.” His phone rang before he could say more. He answered, listened for a few seconds, then hung up.“The dean wants both of us in his office,” he said. “Now.”They walked to campus side by side. Neither of them spoke at first. Students passed them without looking twice. When they reached the administration building Juliet finally broke the silence.“They’re going t

Juliet sat in the small off-campus apartment Adrian had rented after his suspension. The place was quiet and simple. She had snuck over after dark, careful not to be seen by anyone from campus.Adrian opened the door and pulled her inside right away. He locked it behind her and kissed her like he had been waiting all day.“I missed you,” he said against her mouth.Juliet wrapped her arms around his neck. “I missed you too. Everything feels heavier when you’re not around.”He led her to the couch. They sat close. For a while they just held each other. His hand rubbed slow circles on her back.“How’s your mother?” he asked.“Stable. The new treatment is helping. The nurses said her numbers look better.”“Good.” Adrian kissed the side of her head. “You don’t have to keep thanking me for the bill. I already told you it’s handled.”Juliet pulled back enough to look at him. “I still feel like I’m costing you too much.”“You’re not a cost.” He kept his eyes on hers. “You’re the reason I’m st

Juliet stood in the middle of Adrian’s room and stared at the blood-stained costume on the table. The note sat next to it, flat and quiet, like it had already decided everything.“Come back to the Eclipse tonight… or your mother’s next treatment gets canceled permanently.”Adrian walked back and forth near the window. His shoulders stayed tight. “You’re not going.”Juliet’s voice came out uneven. “I have to. If they stop the treatment, she dies. I can’t let that happen.”He stopped right in front of her. “Then I’m coming with you. I won’t let you walk in there alone.”“You can’t. If Voss sees you, he’ll know. He’ll cancel the treatment just to punish us.”“I don’t care about being seen. I care about you walking into that place without backup.”Juliet shook her head. “We already talked about this. You stay in the shadows. You watch. If something goes wrong, you pull me out. That’s the only way this works.”Adrian’s hands curled into fists at his sides. “I hate this.”“I know.” She step

Juliet could not stop thinking about Elena’s threats. After the pregnancy scare, everything felt heavier. She needed answers. Real ones.That afternoon she waited near the campus parking lot and watched Dean Hargrove leave his office. He walked straight to his car without looking around. Juliet stayed in her own car two rows back. When he pulled out, she followed. She kept three cars between them the whole way.He drove to a quiet restaurant on the edge of town. The place looked half empty. Juliet parked across the street under a tree and waited. Her hands stayed tight on the wheel.Ten minutes later Elena walked in. She wore dark sunglasses and carried a small black bag. Juliet’s heart started racing. She slipped out of her car and moved closer, staying near the side window where the curtains did not fully close. She crouched low and listened.Inside, Dean Hargrove and Elena sat across from each other at a corner table. Elena slid a thick envelope across the table. The dean opened it
