CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE SERENA'S POV Just like that… everything happened so fast. Faster than I had expected. I dragged Mr. Cruz's unconscious body back into his tiny quarters, making sure there wasn't a single trail leading back to me.

I poured the fuel, struck the match, and watched the flames swallow everything. The fire spread hungrily through the building, devouring wood, furniture, memories... and every piece of evidence along with it. I stood from a distance, watching the blazing inferno paint the night sky orange, my expression blank despite the chaos unfolding b
