"You know what? Maybe you'll even end up working for me someday. Just look at your pathetic self in the mirror. What do you even have left for yourself?" I stopped putting her things away and looked at her with a smile. "What about you? What do you have left for yourself?" Melinda's expression fell. "What do you mean by that?" I said, "You swapped out somebody else's fans for yourself, didn't you? I remember you being in contact with a huge influencer some time ago, and her number of fans and followers has been steadily dropping. You swapped them over to yourself, didn't you?"

Not because the food was bad—the opposite, actually. It was too good. Too elegant. Too not-her.

The moment my best friend appeared on the screen inside my closet, it felt as though every drop of blood in my body froze. Only then did I suddenly remember that day. Out of nowhere, she had asked me to go buy her favorite pastries from the east side of the city for her. I had stood in line for three full hours to get it, and the heels I wore rubbed my feet raw with blisters. My whole body trembled with rage. Not only had Lucas betrayed me, but even my best friend had stabbed me in the back. On the screen, Lucas wrapped his arms around Lucy and said indulgently, "What's mine is yours. Why are you being so polite with me?"

***PUBLIC EXECUTION*** Tyler's POV “...allegations that have reportedly left you blacklisted from working anywhere in your field. Considering Tyler comes from one of the most prominent, wealthy families in the country… Do you honestly believe a middle-class girl with a compromised financial background fits into his status quo? And more importantly, Flora… are these criminal claims true?” The air in the room became tense immediately. Beside me, Flora went entirely still. The soft, rhythmic breathing I’d been tracking for the last twenty minutes flatlined.

"I'm Fletcher. I'm new to the city, and I have a confession to make." *"We just met, and you're already confessing things?"* *"I saw you here last week," he continued, ignoring her attempt at humor. "And the week before that. You always sit in this same corner, always order the same coffee, and you have this look on your face like you're solving the world's problems one spreadsheet at a time."* *Loise felt her cheeks warm. "That's either very observant or very creepy."* *"I prefer observant," Fletcher said, his smile widening. "I'm a businessman—observation is kind of my thing. And I've been trying to work up the courage to talk to you for two weeks."*

I read the caption, which was paired with a blurred picture of a man who had been murdered in his own home. Tapping the link, I was directed to the full article, and I quickly began to read. “Mr. Florish, an immigrant who had been living in Mandena for the past two years, had been pursuing Cassandra relentlessly. She continually rejected him, insisting that she was already with Roy. Frustrated by her refusals, Mr. Florish decided to take matters into his own hands.
