stephan parked in front of the hotel. It was crowded with people in pretty dresses and dark suits, and they were slowly making their way inside to the main hall. There was a marble fountain, and several parked cars outside, and stephan stopped as close as he could to a red car. They got out, and stephan took parsley by the arm and introduced her to his mother, Hannah. It was her red car. "Hello, my dear!" she said, flinging her arms around them both. "stephan, you look so handsome! And so pretty, parsley!" She smiled. Took a swig of wine.

She scanned the road, hoping to spot a cab, but there was none, so she pressed forward, walking despite the complaints from her feet. The afternoon sun began to fade on her when, at last, a cab appeared, drawing to a stop beside her. The driver leaned out the window, squinting his eyes at her. “Aren’t you one of Jace’s inner circle?” he asked, recognizing her instantly. “What are you doing all the way out here?” Stephanie didn’t answer. She pulled the door open and slid in quickly, and turned her face away. The man hesitated, sensing her mood, before clearing his throat. “Where to?”

Blair had called Aaron for help, since it was still hard for Calvin to walk on his own without doubling over in pain due to the wound on his stomach. “You are the one who sent out invitations for the announcement party on your side, right?” Blair heard Calvin ask as she was busy shoving his stuff in a shoulder bag. She knew the purpose behind the question. They still had not found out who it was, who got Stephanie that card. Each and every card had a different code so there was no chance of them being copied. It only meant one thing, someone deliberately gave it to Stephanie. “I was caught up in some work so it was Mr. Park who did it. Why are you asking that?”

When she stopped beside me, she reached out naturally, letting her fingertips rest lightly against my forearm. It was such a familiar gesture, it was the one she had used countless times before except that it made my skin crawl now. I remembered another hand. Eric's trembling hands as he struggled to breathe beneath my grip. I remembered Marianne, the reports, the fabricated confession, the staged suicide. Every smile Stephanie gave me now carried another person's blood. Yet, I smiled back. If anyone had entered the room, they would have believed two lovers were quietly reconciling after an argument. Only I knew every smile was another layer of the trap tightening around her.

The car stopped. Sylvia opened the car door and got out of the car, she saw an unfamiliar lady standing outside. She had the aura of a rich young mistress. She was also beautiful and elegant. She stopped and looked at her, the lady was also looking at her with an unfriendly expression. "Brother Stephan" The lady called and ran towards Stephan but he avoided her. She almost fell down because of his avoidance. Fortunately, she steady herself in time.

"Why are you looking for me?" "Because I brought you here to keep me company. I don't like being alone." I squinted. "There are many others who wish to accompany you." He chuckled, "But I'm attracted to you. So what can you do?" "You shouldn't be interested in your cousin's girlfriend, sir. That's disgusting." I replied with guts. Despite that, I looked away from his face, and approached the bookshelf beside me, looked at Stephanie Garber's Caraval, and pulled it up.

Her round and moderate buttocks sat beautifully well in her gown. Suddenly, a car horn sounded from close by, and Stephanie rushed to the window. She lifted her curtain from the side of the window and peeped out to see an unfamiliar car in front of her compound. “Did Sebastian buy another car?” She questioned herself as she dropped the curtain. She carried her silver frame bag from her shelf and hurried out of the room. She ran to the main door and as she opened it, Sebastian lifted the bouquet in his hand to her face. She smiled widely as he lowered the flower.

Sweet, perfect Rosealba. Stephanie’s smile soured. A stain. A parasite. A soft thing pretending to be strong. “I’ll peel the sweetness from your skin,” Stephanie whispered, setting the glass down. Her fingers flexed against the wood, nails digging slightly. “Piece by piece. Until Alactor Merikh forgets your name. Until your ghost stops haunting his eyes. Until he is completely mine.” She turned from the mirror, the silk of her robe brushing against her ankles like a shadow that moved with her.
