“She’s not just stirring up trouble, Adrian. She’s planting doubts, playing games. And I need to know you’re not going to let her get away with it.” Adrian stepped closer, his hands resting gently on my shoulders. “Mia, listen to me. There’s nothing between me and Catherine.

I would fall into a daze and eventually drift off to sleep. I became numb to everything around me and followed instructions almost mechanically. Eventually, I learned to be clever. I hid the pills. I flawlessly mimicked the behavior of people affected by the medication and replicated every gesture with precision. Not only could I fool the doctors but also Ava.
