LIVE BROADCAST BEGINS IN 12 HOURS.The words glowed from the monitor.Cold.Bright.Unavoidable.And beneath them sat the message that made Selena’s blood run cold.THE TRUTH COMES OUT TOMORROW.Nobody spoke.The control room seemed frozen in time.Cassian stared at the screen.Nova stared at the screen.Even Bianca had stopped making sarcastic comments.For once.Nobody knew what to say.Because someone had just declared war.Not against Selena.Not against Cassian.Against HeartLock itself.Finally Nova broke the silence.“Well.”Nobody answered.She swallowed.“That’s definitely not ominous.”Still silence.Cassian stepped closer to the monitor.His expression darkened.“This wasn’t written by a producer.”Selena looked at him.“How do you know?”“The language.”He pointed toward the screen.“Producers care about ratings.”His jaw tightened.“This sounds personal.”Unfortunately—he was right.Very right.The message didn’t feel corporate.It felt like a warning.Or a promise.And

TELL HER THE REST. OR WE WILL.The message glowed on every screen.Bright.Threatening.Unavoidable.Nobody moved.Nobody spoke.The villa had never been this quiet.Not even when Hope’s name first appeared.Not even when Vanessa was dragged out by security.Because this was different.This wasn’t a secret hidden in a file.This wasn’t a rumor.This was Cassian.Standing in front of everyone.And admitting he was the last person to see Hope alive.Selena stared at him.Waiting.Hoping.Dreading.All at once.The countdown clock continued ticking above them.59 MINUTES UNTIL LIVE BROADCAST.Time was running out.Finally Selena spoke.“What happened that night?”Her voice barely sounded like her own.Cassian didn’t answer immediately.His eyes remained fixed on the floor.The silence stretched painfully.Then Nova folded her arms.“Either you tell us or whoever sent those messages will.”Nobody disagreed.Because she was right.Cassian knew it too.Slowly—he looked at Selena.And began

The screen went black.Silence crashed over the villa.Nobody moved.Nobody spoke.Richard Hale’s final words hung in the air like a storm cloud.ASK CASSIAN WHY HOPE CALLED HIM TWICE AFTER SHE DIED!Every eye slowly turned toward Cassian.Selena’s included.The countdown clock continued ticking above them.42 MINUTES UNTIL LIVE FINALECassian stood perfectly still.Too still.And that terrified Selena more than panic would have.Because it meant he already knew what Richard was talking about.Nova was the first to break the silence.“What the hell does that mean?”Nobody answered.Ethan folded his arms.“Please tell me that’s some kind of sick joke.”Still no answer.Cassian looked exhausted.Like a man who had reached the end of a very long road.Selena stepped forward.Her voice was quiet.Dangerously quiet.“Cassian.”He looked at her.The guilt in his eyes made her stomach twist.“Tell me.”For several seconds, nobody breathed.Then Cassian nodded slowly.“I got two phone calls.”

Jonathan Vale.The name remained on the screen.Bright.Unavoidable.Impossible.Nobody moved.Nobody spoke.The entire villa seemed frozen in place.Selena stared at the screen.Her father.The words repeated endlessly inside her head.“No.”The whisper escaped before she could stop it.The contestants turned toward her.But Selena barely noticed.Because this couldn’t be real.Her father had been many things.Distant.Strict.Emotionally unavailable.But not this.Not HeartLock.Not Hope.Not any of this.“It has to be fake.”Her voice sounded weak.Uncertain.For the first time in a long time, Selena looked completely lost.Cassian stepped closer.“Selena…”“No.”She shook her head.“No.”The video remained paused behind her.DIRECTOR: JONATHAN VALEThe words felt like a knife.Richard Hale looked worse.Much worse.His face had lost all color.Which Selena immediately noticed.Interesting.Very interesting.Because Richard wasn’t reacting like a guilty man.He was reacting like a

The screen went black.Nobody moved.Nobody spoke.The silence inside the underground archive felt heavier than anything Selena had experienced since arriving at HeartLock.Because for the first time—they had seen fear.Not Richard’s fear.Not Orion’s fear.Not the contestants’ fear.Jonathan Vale’s fear.And that changed everything.Cassian stared at the dead monitor.“Who was that?”Nobody answered.Because nobody knew.Or at least—nobody admitted knowing.Then Richard Hale suddenly sat down.Hard.Like his legs had given out beneath him.The sound echoed through the room.Everyone turned toward him.Richard looked pale.Actually pale.The confident producer who had spent years manipulating people was gone.In his place sat a man who looked exhausted.Defeated.And frightened.Selena stepped forward.“You know who that was.”Richard laughed bitterly.A short laugh.A hopeless laugh.“Unfortunately.”The room froze.Selena’s pulse quickened.Because finally—someone was about to an
