Suddenly, she let out a shriek that did not sound human. It was as if something inside her had been ripped away in an instant. The last trace of stolen luck, the final thing that had never belonged to her, vanished completely. All the consequences she had built up came crashing down at once, like a volcano that had been waiting to erupt. A sharp crack split the air. Above the stage, the massive LED screen flickered violently, sparks bursting out in a blinding flash. The steel cables holding it snapped. The enormous screen plunged downward with a deadly roar, straight toward Cecilia.

His hands bit into my waist, then released as soon as my feet found purchase, just long enough to steady, not long enough to linger. Behind us, the rescued girl and Grant followed, the older woman right after. One step, two— The makeshift stair under Corvin’s foot **crumbled**. He slipped. There was nothing under him but open air. He didn’t make a sound at first. His body jerked, weight dropping. His hand shot out instinctively, catching the edge of the broken stair above—but the stone there was already disintegrating in slow, hissing pieces. For one heart-stopping second, half his body hung over the void, suspended only by crumbling stone and willpower.

He didn’t respond. Just walked out. The days settled into a rhythm. Chris controlled. The office adjusted. Sebastian observed. And I— I adapted. That was what I did best. One afternoon, I dropped a file. It slipped from my hand without warning, papers scattering across the floor. The sound felt louder than it should have. For a split second, I just stared at it. Then I moved to pick it up. And the dizziness hit. Sharp. Immediate. My balance faltered.

Liam let’s go of me and I fell to the ground, my heart writhing in pain, it felt unreal, it felt like some thing that shattered me into different pieces. “The maids will come for you in a few seconds, get up for.

For a split second, I thought I’d won. Then they scrambled back, scooping up the gold with surprising speed and coordination. Within seconds, they were already halfway across the desert again—leaving only two bars and a few scattered jewels behind. “Unbelievable,” I groaned, watching my fortune sprint away on nimble legs. I stumbled toward the spot where the crate had spilled, gasping for breath. Just as I bent down to grab the remaining bars, one of those silver-furred thieves lunged from behind, snatching them with lightning speed, and vanished with a mocking chirp before I could even react.

As the circle shattered, the ground shook violently beneath them. Camela and Vincent held onto each other tightly as their world crumbled beneath them. The voice of the paper-based figure boomed over the collapsing chaos: "If you refuse to betray each other…Then I will choose who betrays you." With a loud sound of explosion, the ground split apart, sending them flying away from each other.
