I couldn't afford for him to become suspicious of my true motives. Oliver and Meredith headed to the preparation room for their final adjustments. Meanwhile, I discovered that my arranged seat was at the very back of the conference room, so I couldn't see anything. It was obvious that they were trying to humiliate me. I sent a message to Penelope, telling her to take action. The show was about to start, after all. Radiant light shone down from the dome of International Conference Center. Oliver's entrance onto the stage was accompanied by thunderous applause.

They walked. Through ash and echoes. Toward truth. Toward something like freedom.

Not wanting to hear his voice again, I silenced my phone. His voice buzzed through the mind-link. "Molly, why aren't you answering?" "We're done." I cut the connection without hesitation. Then I yanked out the SIM card, dropped it in the trash, and stepped onto the bus back home.

His smile deepened as he recited, "I as Polaris, you as the moon. Glowing together through night's tender swoon. "When moonlight fades, my star stays true. Keeping its light to welcome you, till the fifteenth shines us both anew." Harvey's pitch-black eyes darkened—something violent and primal fracturing behind his composed mask.

Helen snapped before storming out. Laura stood frozen, her voice trembling as she whispered, “Be – Behind me?” The confusion was too much. Jerry’s fists clenched in response, and the tension in the room was intense.

Even stranger, Maggie hadn’t even deleted the backup, as if she wanted us to see it on purpose. Suddenly, I remembered a glint of reflected light under the passenger seat after practice that day—something like a tiny lens. A chill crept up my spine. I realized then that this carefully designed trap had been laid long ago. But who was behind it? And why were they determined to push us into a corner like this?

the staff member at the counter urged impatiently. The other students lining up nearby looked over at the commotion. Some of them recognized me and began gossiping. "Isn't that the little pet who broke up with her backer? I heard that she used to spend Zachary's money lavishly. Seems like she's broke now that she's been dumped." Another person spoke up loudly, his tone dripping with disdain. "Little pet? That's a nice way of putting it. Let's be frank here. She's nothing but a slut who sold her body for money. Didn't she get an award or something previously?"

I could feel his gaze searching the seats behind me. He let out a soft sigh and murmured, "Was I really just seeing things?"

I didn’t even dare glance back, not even once. I had one goal and one goal only… Make it the forest.

“Lead the way.” We left the party together, the noise and flashing lights fading behind us as we stepped into the cool night. In the quiet of a secluded corner of the city, away from prying eyes, I felt the tension ease, replaced by a fragile hope that maybe, just maybe, we could reclaim our narrative. As we walked side by side, our hands brushed occasionally—a silent promise that despite all the chaos, there was a connection between us that the world couldn’t break. And though uncertainty still loomed large, I allowed myself to believe that our truth was stronger than any headline, any rumor.
