My life was a mess, a tangled knot of bad choices and worse consequences. Suspended from Oxwell, my future hanging by a thread, and all because I’d let Madison manipulate me into her schemes. I closed my eyes, willing the tears to stay put, but they burned anyway.

Madeline's POV It had been ten days since we'd arrived at the Galleo property, and I found myself counting them like a prisoner scratching marks into a wall. Not because I felt trapped. If anything, there was something deeply freeing about being there, far away from all the toxicity that had dominated my life over the past few months. Still, there was a strange sensation of living inside a bubble, as if the real world had temporarily stopped existing.

Marcus The safehouse is barely more than a forgotten apartment over a boarded-up hardware store. No heat, no furniture except a sagging couch and a table with one broken leg propped on a brick. But it’s quiet and secluded. No prying eyes, no neighbors awake at this hour. Marrin paces like a caged animal, sweat beading on his forehead despite the chill that seeps through the cracked windows. Sophia sits forward on the dilapidated couch, notebook open, pen in hand, every inch the journalist even when the air smells like mildew and dust.

“I was traumatized because I got kicked by her almost every single night.” Sorin looked fascinated now, leaning forward with genuine interest. “Wait. All three of you really lived together like that?” Maddison nodded proudly. “One room. Broken heater. Terrible plumbing. One suspicious fan making death noises every night.” “It sounded like a helicopter preparing for war,” Ezekiel added with a tired sigh. “And rats.” “There were no rats.” “There was a group of large mice.” “That is literally still rats.” Maddison ignored him completely before continuing dramatically, “The landlord once shut the electricity off for two days because someone forgot rent.”

Chapter 108 ...AUTHOR'S NARRATIVE... Mr Madison sat in his ward staring at his phone, He had been watching Maria's video over and over again, He finally put his phone aside and laid on the bed, he was waiting for the Doctor to come and discharge him but honestly, he didnt even want to go home, How would he leave with the thought that he had just lost his company?, His eyes drifted to the door when he heard a knock on the door, He wondered who it was,

*Mackenzie* The last twelve hours were the worst punishment in my entire life. Madison was assigned to my room until evening, when Dr. Vera came and happily announced that I could go home. The only nice moment was the hour spent with Mrs. Kringle, who managed to smuggle in a few chocolate cookies as she practically didn’t let me out of her embrace, thanking and kissing me for helping her nephew.

The initial sentence handed down to him was lifetime imprisonment. It was going just as poorly for Clarice. She was bound by several heavily equipped doctors and taken to a mental asylum located somewhere in the suburbs. At first, it was hard for her to accept that her status had fallen from that of a respectable socialite to a disgraced criminal who would never get a chance at freedom again. Whenever the officers ordered an assembly, she would defy their order and refuse to get in line. Even when punished with solitary confinement, she remained unrepentant. She spent her nights screaming and howling.

The fear that used to sit tightly in her chest no longer greeted her the moment she opened her eyes. There was no tension here. No footsteps she needed to listen for. No moods she had to anticipate. The estate was quiet, orderly, and strangely peaceful. At first, Marceline moved carefully, as if afraid she might disturb anyone. But as the days passed and no one stopped her, she began to explore the vast property at her own pace. She spent long hours in the library, curled up in a chair by the window, surrounded by shelves that seemed endless. Sometimes she reads for hours without noticing the time.

No return. "How could it come to this…" Anthony staggered and braced himself against the furnace wall. His palm sizzled against the scorching metal. His skin burned black, but he felt nothing. The pain inside him had already surpassed anything physical, crushing his chest until he could not breathe. "Mabel," he said hoarsely. "You win. "You calculated everything, except one thing. "I, Anthony, am a madman." He lifted his head. Obsession burned in his eyes, fierce enough to tear the world apart.

Thirteen was in the dining room, it was very few times that she ate together with all the inmates in the area, she had been in the psychiatric hospital for more than two years, since she saw his whole life collapse, his mind played bad Past, this day was quiet, her mother had not visited her in days, since the day she spoke with the kind Dr. Abello, if he was a kind man, he reminded her of her biological father, if she remembered him.
