“I brought you back to save you from the world’s corruption, not to watch you throw yourself into it.” We broke up with no agreement. His words hung in the air like smoke, fogging my mind as I went about my work. I heard confessions that morning, offering absolution to sins that seemed trivial compared to the ones we committed in the tunnels. A lay employee confessed to theft.

To date, we’ve got a head count of at least eight hundred people being dropped off at this location in the past three weeks and none of them ever leave.” “They might not leave in the one piece and alive sense. It is a cattle processing plant and those warehouses connect to the plant itself,” Nova pointed out. “Black market organ harvesting ring?” “That was the analysts’ first thought, but nothing ever leaves those buildings.

The weight of her situation was suffocating, pulling her down into a pit of despair. Anastasia's voice was calm but firm, "It's okay, I'll find a way out."

Her mind was filled with thoughts, all jumbled and chaotic, making it impossible to concentrate on anything else.

Asmo woke up the next day feeling energized and calm. The Carols night, which turned into The Seven Confessions of the Fallen Angels, helped lift the weight of Asmo's past transgressions. Now, he had the clearest conscience on the block, giving him the confidence to say, "Merry Christmas, Devils! Rise and shine. Come on, your chores won't do themselves. It's Christmas day again!"

Jane was rushed into the operating room, and soon her heartbeat stopped. Just like Astrid, there were two deaths. Tony was sentenced for assault with intent to kill. The Baldino family spent a fortune pulling strings and leveraging every connection to get him bailed out. When he emerged, Tony was completely broken. He spent every day inside our villa, clutching bottles of alcohol, laughing and crying at my photos. “Astrid… Honey…” His hands trembled as he touched my face in the photo. Tears poured down in heavy streams.

I was a pariah in my own home. The next morning, confinement order or not, I had to see Ashton. I had to hear it from him. Had his promise in the cabin been just another lie born of pity and adrenaline? Had seeing the picture, the video, the sheer magnitude of the scandal, changed his mind? Camilia’s warning echoed: *He has to think of the pack.*

"I guess it was a good thing giving them asylum," he said, and I did not say much because I did not trust them still.

Furthermore, he is aware that I worked at the Delham brothel. In fact, that is the second minor concern. The major issue is that when he returned home, he came with Jeri, and I'm confused how they met." Aysel laments. “What are you saying, Aysel?” Clara was disoriented.

— You want me to become their crazy person. — No! You will play. Just long enough… Long enough to gain a reprieve. I stare at him. For a long time. His eyes shift, nervous. His fingers tap on the table. I understand. He thinks he’s offering me an escape. But he sees nothing.

I am becoming something else.
