"Loving my alone time is not the same as being 'Nerdy', Tess." She rolled her eyes, waving me off like I was being ridiculous. “That’s the only reason I found him cute in the first place. But other than that... meh,” she said, throwing an arm around my shoulder like we were in some buddy cop movie. “Now, want me to drive you home?” I groaned. “I told you, no.” “Come on, Cam. Let me make your life easier.” “Nope.” She sighed dramatically. As we turned the corner, my stomach dropped. Vanessa and her crew were standing near the lockers, their perfectly coordinated outfits and judgmental stares on full display.

,Miles said to himself. ********************* Vanessa got outside to the compound of the house. She went to the tree she had dropped the phone Robert gave her. "What the fucking fuck!, it is gone!",she screamed.

End Hook: Vanessa stood in a dim room later that night, speaking into a private call, her voice low and controlled. “She is not just a story anymore,” she said. A pause. Then colder. “She is becoming a movement.”

I said evenly, shaking her hand. “How… unexpected,” she added, her smile tightening. “Lucas never mentioned you.” Lucas’s jaw clenched. “That’s because my personal life is none of your concern.” Vanessa raised an eyebrow. “Still cold, I see.” She leaned closer to me, lowering her voice. “Be careful. He gets bored easily.” Before I could respond, she walked away, her words echoing in my mind. “Who was that?” I asked once she was gone. “No one,” Lucas said too quickly.

Vanessa sat beside Daven with a practiced poise, occasionally adjusting the stylish ivory suit she wore. Her lips moved non-stop—talking about everything from the party rundown, wedding dress fittings, to the VVIP guest list she claimed she had to verify herself. But Daven only nodded now and then, barely speaking. Most of the time, he just stared out the window, his thoughts somewhere far from the polished leather seats and idle chatter beside him.

When she opened them again, Vanessa was standing by the window. Staring at the frozen lake. Chloe walked toward her. "Are you okay?" Vanessa didn't turn. "I don't know." Her voice was quiet. "I don't think I've been okay for a long time." Chloe stood beside her. Outside, snow drifted lazily from the sky. "It feels strange," Vanessa continued. "What does?" "Being here." She touched the glass. "I used to dream about escaping." Chloe looked at her. "From Arthur?" "From everything."

I was the simple-minded fool that General Adelaide Knight had pulled from a pile of corpses on the battlefield. The poison had been too severe. I survived, but my mind never fully recovered. When people hit me or cursed at me, all I ever did was stare blankly and smile. Adelaide took pity on me. She brought me into her home and refused to let anyone mistreat me. She once said, "Reed may be a fool, but he's my whole life." And like a fool, I believed her. For five years, I followed her everywhere like a shadow. Then Fabian Ortega returned to the capital.

She paused, taking an audible breath. "Before this goes any further. There is so much only I know," she continued, her voice cracking slightly. "And I... I want to help you." Dom looked at Cassie again and Cassie looked at Leo. Leo was already typing rapidly on his phone, no doubt signaling whoever needed to start tracing the call before it disappeared. "I'm listening," Dom's voice thundered.

It was the voice-changing phone he used whenever he called Alessio. "I guess I should play with you a little bit, dearest nephew," he smirked dangerously. **** Vanessa jumped over the fence when she arrived at Alessio's residence. She looked around cautiously before heading toward the building, keeping her eyes fixed on the ground to avoid stepping on any landmines. She had no idea the landmines were just for show because Lisa hadn’t told her. She made her way inside the house and sneaked into the laundry room to take off her clothes.

I thought she was calling to explain. But the first thing she said after I answered was, "Did you see that video online? "Evan, don't overthink it. "He was driving long-distance for the first time. I was just on the same route." My knuckles turned white around the steering wheel. "On the same route for three hundred miles, Vanessa?" The other end of the call went silent for two seconds.
