Dorothy clapped her hands excitedly. A cry came from upstairs. “Maxwell is awake. I’ll go get him,” Dorothy rushed upstairs, and Stefan’s gaze followed her until she was out of sight. He walked toward the kitchen to take one of the cookies Beatrice had made. “I thought you didn’t like cookies anymore?” Beatrice smirked. “I never said that,” Stefan replied dryly, taking a bite as fast as he could before Dorothy appeared and began teasing him.

Davina's POV: The air backstage at the Devil's Club was thick with the usual chaotic blend of hairspray, perfume, and nervous energy. The other dancers, their bodies already adorned in various stages of glittering undress, moved with a practiced ease, adjusting straps and applying last-minute touches of makeup.

My reflection in the mirror was a stranger: haunted eyes, pale skin, a stark contrast to the carefully applied glamour around me.

I stand, determined to shake off the sluggishness clinging to me— Except, the moment I get on my feet, the world tilts. A sharp wave of dizziness washes over me, my vision blurring at the edges.
