I quickly walked to her. "That's Celine, Leon's ex." I turned to Adam and I glared at him coldly. I saw Celine completely looked like what Adam described her as. She's like an angel, too innocent. It looks like she's begging for Marie's forgiveness. Marie saw me and her eyes widen. She got up from the sofa and walked to me. "Is everything okay?" I asked Marie. "Yeah, let's get some food." Marie said as she grabbed my hand. "That's Celine right?" I asked and Marie turned to me giving me a light nod.

Chapter 5 Third POV As Elara followed the strange bond calling to her every instinct, she noticed the cave was eerily beautiful, illuminated by a soft, otherworldly glow the deeper she went. The walls were inscribed with ancient runes, their shapes both fascinating and frightening as they followed her against the wall as if guiding her. The runes glowed faintly, casting shifting patterns of light and shadow across the cavern. Elara felt a shiver run down her spine every time she passed them, the symbols pulsing with a power she could barely comprehend but feel in the air. The air was thick with magic, a palpable presence that made her skin tingle and her heart race.

Our eyes met as the door shut behind me. The maze of people that blocked my way earlier to reach room 3254 now were not such a hassle for me to surpass. This time around I just let them swallow me whole. As I reach the doors I can see Leah Meyers, the woman at the front desk, looking at me with the same hazed expression as earlier. I locked eyes with her for just a brief second, before I burst through the glass sliding doors as it opened. The weather is quite hot today, unusually hot. A strange ringing sound started to sound in my ears. How strange?

"ah!!!!!!!!!!" I couldn't care less about the pain coming from my calf, so I jumped up and tried to climb up, but there was no place to climb on the wall of the pit, and the only depression on it was the unreadable seal script, which seemed to become more clear after being stained with my blood. Probably too much blood loss accompanied by excessive shock, my brain began to confuse, and fell back heavily, desperately looking at the moon hanging in the night sky, cursing the son of a b***h who tricked me into coming here.

Her father was dead. Her father was DEAD. Eloisa dropped the cloth over her father bloodied face and hugged her mother. Her mother was still mumbling gibberish. Someone shook her shoulder and Eloisa looked up to see her brother holding a glass of water. She shook her mother a few times to get her attention and then gave her the glass. Her mother stared at the glass for a few seconds before drowning it down like a person dying of thirst. She looked at Eloisa when she finished. She looked a bit calm now. Ethan was about to remove the cloth from where Eloisa did but his mother stopped him.

She probably could, Malakai won't underestimate her but he could only pray that Eden would behave. It's been an hour since he's sent the cleaning crew and Eden never showed up. He looked to his right and saw the drawer that Eden broke into. He was quite impressed at how easily she did it. But then he looked carefully and his gaze landed on the floor. The earring Eden used. She must have dropped it, too concentrated on the gun. Malakai picked it up and looked at the back of it closely. It wasn't an ordinary earring, it had a knife-like back, like a hidden weapon. Cleaver. That's why Eden got in so easily.

“Your own habits revolve around fermented mash and betting rings. Your own record carries no greater honor than the cub’s!” “The current emergency is that our vaults contain zero resources to clear this debt. You two might as well surrender my old carcass to the collectors to balance the ledger!” Glenn’s exasperation peaked, his features darkening into a mask of total defeat. One million coins represented a catastrophic sum for their caste. Holding Eva’s waist with a desperate grip, Jeff interjected frantically, “Mother, our boots can track Madison to her hotel! Her purse absolutely commands that level of coin!”

The weight of the sunglasses in Milo’s hand was a strange comfort. They were heavy, expensive, and carried the faint scent of motor oil and something else – something clean and masculine, like distant cedar or crisp autumn air. He had retrieved his broken glasses from the grass, the lenses spiderwebbed with cracks, a mirror to his own shattered composure. But these, the ones the shadow-man had given him, felt like a promise.

Wrong. Something is wrong. A quiet voice whispered in the back of my mind. This isn’t right. I forced myself to look past my mother’s reaching hands. Through the glass. Through the reflection. I could see the arena outside the maze. Everything looked blurry. Like I was staring through deep water. I saw Mara first. She leaned back in her chair, calm and relaxed. A tiny smile sat on her lips. A satisfied one. Then I saw Genevieve. She wasn’t afraid.

“No, Eden. We’re going to crawl in through a forgotten maintenance duct half a kilometer off the southern ridge, swim through a submerged access tunnel designed for engineers, and then—maybe—get inside before freezing or drowning.” Eden exhaled. “Lovely.” Ten minutes later, they dropped anchor in a hidden cove and slid into the icy water. The cold was instant—crushing and suffocating—but she didn’t scream. Didn’t panic. Roman’s voice echoed in her head: Pain is temporary. Panic is fatal. Cassel led them with a waterproof flare, weaving between jagged rocks before they surfaced inside a cave. The duct was exactly where Roman’s stolen files had said it would be: rusted, narrow, and half-submer
