he assured. Inside the station, Detective Guido led them into a dark room. “I’m going to show you five men. Take your time. If you see him, just nod and tell me which number. Don’t worry—he won’t see you. Are you ready?” “Yes,” Lisa whispered. Five men lined up under a light. Lisa stepped forward, scanning their faces. Her blood ran cold. Her body went pale. “That’s him,” she said, pointing at the tall man with dirty blond hair and a scar across his left eye.

Plate crisp. Second photo: black SUV, backed into shadow but still visible. Plate readable. Third: a man in a ballcap. Face partially turned. Broad shoulders, posture like he’d been trained. Fourth: another man stepping out of the bay with a clipboard. Older. Clean cut. Not “street.” Not “gang.” The fifth photo made my stomach drop. It was blurry—zoomed. But it captured something that wasn’t supposed to be there. A badge. Not clearly enough to see the agency.

– That much was true, even Levi, who avoided socialite gatherings like the plague, could recognize Teagan Peyton on sight – “My picture was in yesterday’s New-fucking-Times right next to yours!!!!” Noah: ‘…Sorry, bro. I honestly didn’t know.’ 〒▽〒 Blackie: “Oh, then that explains why he is so pissed at you. His pic must have looked like trash when displayed next to yours.” ╮(╯∀╰)╭ Noah made one final effort to right the wrong direction of this conversation, “I didn’t see it… and um… I have trouble recognizing out-of-context faces that don’t have any outstanding features.”

A printed, clear-as-day photo. Someone had been watching her.

"Your father thinks you're having a panic attack over the Newark audit. But I wanted to see where you actually went forty-eight hours ago." She pulled the top photograph out, turning it toward him. The image was sharp, captured by a high-end telephoto lens through the windshield of a vehicle. It showed Elias, blindfolded in black silk, his head thrown back in a state of sheer, undone ecstasy while a massive, broad-shouldered man with a missing silver cuff button pinned him against the couch of *The Veil*. "Who is he, Elias?" Sophia asked, her voice cracking with a terrifying mix of cold calculation and raw fury.

"Now we can be on our way-" "Not so fast," Blaze tuts, calling the man back when he tries to walk away. "Hold it up to your face." The driver freezes, growing all the more confused. "You want me to... what?" "Hold it up to your face and say cheese," Blaze orders, pointing to the place he stood previously and telling him to strike a pose. "Nothing too fancy, though," he warns. "I need a clear picture of both of your faces here." "Picture?" He repeats. "Why on earth do you need a picture of this? What are you trying to-"

The photos are good. That is the terrible thing. They are not blurry or unflattering or the kind of grainy paparazzi shots that make everyone look vaguely criminal. They are clear and warm and shot through the penthouse windows from some building across the street, and they show two people who look, without any question, like they belong to each other.

“Then explain this.” I looked down at the screen. There were photos. Pictures of me. I was in the park and I was smiling. I was sitting close to a strange man and his arm was around me. I was even laughing. My heart stopped. “What is this?” I whispered. Blake’s voice was sharp. “You tell me. Because the media has been going crazy about it since morning.” I scrolled. My hand shook. There was a photo of me with my head turned toward the person beside me. My hair was blowing as my lips were parted like I was talking. Or maybe smiling. I couldn’t remember.

Armin raised an eyebrow, intrigued as he opened the file. His eyes narrowed as the images loaded, one after another. Each photo revealed the same scene, taken from different angles: Ivan Anderson sitting in the VIP club, the mysterious woman leaning into him, their hands touching, their faces close. The photos were precise, perfectly timed, capturing the intimacy of the moment. They told a story—one that Armin could easily use to his advantage.

What she couldn't calm down about was how the picture leaked. There was no one around at that time. Passerby A: The scene from the 6688th floor, did you photoshop this picture? Blue Sky: Hey, didn't you advocate for people being in love? Now that we finally have a united front, why are you provoking me? Passerby A: No, I mean, your picture... It looks very blurry, deceiving people, right? Blue Sky: Relax. I'm not deceiving you specifically. Don't get agitated, you'll burst a blood vessel.
