Making sure her daughter is not getting into trouble again. Which obviously made things better for Juliette as those trash of boys, never get the chance to talk to her again. Nathan joined the school after a week and shockingly, it was said that Erick dropped out of the school. Though no one knows the reason behind it, the whole school celebrated his dismissal. It was said that someone from the greater authority demanded his dismissal. Life was getting on to the normal track as everyone forgot about the prom queen slowly but the moment Scarlett got back to the frame, the first thing that she did was confront Juliette.

I try to ignore him and we go on with our conversation until it gets late and Matt and Francisca have to leave. We say our hugs and goodbyes. It hurts that Fran leaves every time she comes home. It reminds me, it reminds us, that things can really never be the same again. Our home is not her home, her home is not our home. She leaves with promises of seeing us tomorrow at school, while dad and Matt shake hands after a couple attempts with Matt going in for the hug. Once they leave Ivan begins to head up the stairs to his room when dad stops him. "Ah stop right there" he says, and Ivan stops, turns and looks at him expectedly.

Jared and Zoe, who are still in bed (in separate rooms), don’t wake up until later when the fiasco has long calmed down. Check-out from the resort goes by like a scurried blur. As it always does. The gang splits into team south and team north again and goes on their way back home. Needless to say that the journey is a little bit bumpy due to the day they’re returning home: Friday. So, after a couple of hours on the road, the two main drivers decide to take a small detour in the nearest rest stop. “When’s the big reunion again?” Logan inquires as he stretches his legs and arms for the nth time since arriving in the place.

Epilogue "Death is only the beginning." Imhotep the Mummy. Michael watched the night passing by the window of the train. He was alone. His mother had been dead on arrival at the hospital and, despite attempts to resuscitate, she had stayed that way. It had been too much; taking Lucy with him would have put her in more danger. He had run without saying goodbye rationalising that he could contact her in her dreams once he was out of her way. So Michael was heading for New Orleans, alone with his sorrow.

[Due to contract termination, the leg-healing reward previously granted to bound target Victoria Quinn will now be officially revoked. "What..." Before Victoria could react, a tearing pain exploded through both of her knees. "Ah!!!"

Over and over. I laughed bitterly when I saw Cassandra’s name, wiping my tears with the back of my hand. “What, Cassie? You want to explain? You want to tell me how sharing my boyfriend was just another fun game between us?” The phone buzzed again, Daniel’s name glowing like it owned me. “No,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “Not anymore.” With a strangled cry, I hurled it into the gutter. The screen cracked against the concrete with a sharp snap. Sparks of glass scattered like cruel confetti.

“Luca.” My tone was ice. “I faked my death because I wanted freedom. But since you’ve found me, let’s make one thing clear—you and I are over. For good. Don’t think you can guilt me, chase me, or wear me down until I forgive you. It won’t happen.” He just stood there, silent. I took a breath, steady but shaking inside. “If you ever try to force me back, I swear, you’ll lose me for good. This time for real.”

She released him, letting him collapse onto the grass. The crowd buzzed with whispers. Charlene straightened, scanning their faces. The fear, the respect. They parted, letting her walk away. Renew exhaled. “That. Was. Awesome.” Charlene laughed, fists pumping the air. “Did you see us?! He didn’t even know what hit him!” “Okay, okay, Karate Kid.” Renew chuckled. “But we have bigger things to deal with.” Charlene’s excitement faded. Her mother. She hadn’t seen or spoken to her since she dropped her off.

It’s almost like it’s thanksgiving. “So, since I’m well now, I suppose our long overdue beach vacation will fall through,” Victoria started while cutting her steak. “Yay! I’ve been waiting to go to the beach again, grandmama!” Claire commented. She smiled at her, “I know, Claire. Me too, I’ve been dreading it,” She chuckled. “When is it? I can’t go next month, I have a business trip abroad,” Kai said. Ellyse turned her head towards him. She had no idea that he had a planned business trip, he didn’t even let her know.
