The campground was called The Wilderness. It sat in a secluded hollow along the embankment surrounding Coasthaven's outer moat. A broad, flat clearing stretched beneath a canopy of trees, with an open expanse of grass at its center.At night, a bonfire blazed in the middle of the clearing, while strings of colored lights wound through the branches overhead.Charles had reserved the best tent on the grounds. It was a spacious umbrella-style tent positioned at the center of the campground.By the time they arrived, outdoor tables and chairs had already been arranged, and the table was laden with skewers, fruit platters, drinks, beer, and an assortment of snacks.After everyone settled in, Charles waved over a server to handle the grilling.Gwen was immediately swept up by the atmosphere.The music was exactly her kind of DJ mix, and before anyone could say a word, she was already on her feet, dancing on the grass in front of the tent."Ladies and gentlemen! As a small token of gra

Gwen had been drinking with Charles all evening and was pleasantly unsteady.Lucille agreed with her, clinked her glass against Gwen's, and they both drank.A few minutes later, Lucille noticed her thoughts beginning to blur around the edges. She assumed she was simply exhausted from a week of late nights and leaned back in her chair.Having finished the last of her drink, Gwen slumped against the backrest and stopped moving.Otto and Charles had stepped away to smoke in a nearby corner. When they returned, they found both women slumped in their chairs, fast asleep.Charles tilted his head with mild amusement. "Look at these two lightweights. I suppose that's the evening over."Otto glanced at his watch. "Close enough. Let's get them home."The parking area was roughly a thousand feet away.Otto leaned over and gently tried to wake them, one after the other. Neither responded. Both were completely out.He sighed and looked toward the parking lot. "Charles, one of us takes each

Otto looked at Lucille. Her face was still flushed, and her body continued to quiver. The helplessness of having no good option was written all over her.He instinctively glanced up and froze.Not far away, beneath the dim lights of the parking lot, a slender figure stood motionless.He could not make out her face from that distance, but she was there, phone raised. Even from where he stood, something about her expression felt deeply wrong. He recognized it before he could put it into words.He had switched on the car's interior light so he could see Lucille clearly. Which meant that if she had been standing there the whole time, everything that had just happened inside the car had been recorded on her phone.This was the person who had spiked the drinks.Otto shoved the car door open and hurried toward her.By the time he reached the spot, she was gone. Only empty space remained.Otto turned and scanned the parking lot. He found nothing.He had not imagined it. She had been s

When the footage reached the duet, Otto's gaze suddenly locked onto the campground's entrance.He pointed at the screen. "Can you enlarge that area? Yes, right there. That woman."The owner did what he could with the low-quality footage.The image remained far from perfect, but as it sharpened, Otto fixed his eyes on the face visible at the entrance.The instant he saw it, something cold flickered across his eyes. He was already on his feet before the expression had fully settled. "Charles, lock down every piece of footage with this woman in it. Pull everything. Preserve it. I know who she is. I'm leaving now."Without another word, he walked out, his figure disappearing from Charles' sight.Charles stared at the screen. 'This... was an ordinary woman. The image was blurry. The lighting was terrible. You couldn't even make out her face clearly.'And he identified her instantly? Only someone trained in visual observation, or a designer with years of experience reading spatial det

Rayne immediately pulled out her phone and opened the trending topics on social media.The video of Lucille and Otto singing together had already climbed to the top of the trending list, thanks to her quiet manipulation behind the scenes. It was all part of her plan.A flash of malice crossed Rayne's eyes. She opened the video and held the phone out for Gideon to watch.Gideon watched the two of them on the screen, singing together with the effortless chemistry that came from genuine familiarity. His eyes stung as though pierced by something sharp. He covered them with his hand, but a single tear still slipped through his fingers.Compared to everything Lucille had already done to him—going after his family, shorting his company's stock, leaving him kneeling in the rain without a second glance—this hurt even more. Seeing her so openly intimate with Otto before their divorce was even finalized, even going as far as what had happened in that car, felt like a blade driven straight thr
