Elena didn’t go to work. She hadn’t stepped outside her room since yesterday. The curtains stayed shut. The room stayed dim. She lay on her bed and tossed, turned, tossed again, like her thoughts were knives and her mattress was the only thing that could dull them. Yesterday kept replaying on a loop she couldn’t turn off. The strange guy smile. Blood on his forearm in thin, patient ,Damien also in blood but carried her. The word *SINNER* burned into concrete, smoke still curling from the edges of the dead bodies.Krystal on a bed, arms and legs spread, ropes biting into her skin, eyes wild. She can't bring it together. Her mind kept trying to force the pieces to fit, but the edges were wrong. Sharp, how will she digest that Damien was in a cult? Not just any cult. Satan’s Heirs. The name tasted like ash in her mouth. She’d laughed the first time Krystal said in the company, “Girl, Mr Wolfe gives off ‘quiet cult leader’ vibes. Elena had thrown a pillow at her and told her to st

What's with these curses!, gish I miss alot" Sophia said."Flicks have always been toxic. What were you expecting? Now we don't even have to act. Florian's fans already acted. Rhodes Wolfe didn't succeed in covering this one." Trinidad shrugged."Elmira!" Roxy tapped her, and Elmira looked up."Check Beatrice's IG,

~Cross Mansion ~Richard sat in the dimly lit living room, tension thick in the air as Margaret paced restlessly, her heels clicking sharply on the hardwood floor. The recent meeting with Damien had them contemplating a partnership that could elevate their business, but Margaret’s mind was nowhere but on Elena.“Richard, we need to talk about Elena she should talk to her husband,” she said, turning abruptly to face him, her voice laced with urgency. “She hasn’t come to us for her medication in days. What if her illness flares up again? You know how volatile this can be she will come running and we can order her to talk to Damien.”Richard clenched his jaw, irritation bubbling beneath him. “You need to leave her be, Margaret. She’s been handling things on her own. Our focus should be on the company and this partnership.”Margaret’s expression darkened, her frustration changing into contempt. “Typical!

She tried to act nonchalant—look unbothered, but she couldn't.All her facial features betrayed her, showcasing her guilt.Jehlani is typing aggressively on her phone, Pania is still with her ball, but she's just staring at it emptily.Pasha is into her phone too.Beatrice is the only absent one, but it didn't take long before she entered.The energy in the room shifted.She came straight for Zenni, raising her long nails angrily at her."How fuckin dumb can you be, Zen?

You can do whatever you want with him!" Zenni argued."Shut the fùck, Zen!" Jehlani s
