(LOST DREAD) “NOW, SHALL WE TAKE THIS FROM THE BEGINNING?” The script of the play is getting deeper, darker, and more sinister where anyone might call or tell by the glance. The lost holder finally sealed the last deal, the end of the bargain, where she is now unknowingly unto the grasp back to the world where she should be. But this time the spin of her world is still unto the lies that are being fed to her by then but is the only way to break that thing in half and pushes everything unto the right corner and exact spot of the grand puzzle piece that every one of them is unknowingly building about.

His eyes mooned at him as he opened his lips to answer, "I think it's..." But the announcement of the game came at the same time before he could give his answer. [2 players are eliminated. The remaining three will move in the final location. You can watch the game at the section 3.] "It's the final," Joshua commented. "Let's go and watch them? Shall we?"

Bernard and Sally stood up and leaned in to look, their faces lighting up with delight. "Well, this is good news!" Others gathered around, curious. "So, it's confirmed?" "That's Mr. Russell—Craig wouldn't dare fake this, unless he doesn't care about living anymore." "Wow, congratulations, Justine. Looks like your patience is finally paying off." "Exactly. You hate Craig so much—now he can finally stay far away from you." For once in all these years, I actually heard words from them that I wanted to hear.

He finally had her. THE END

He hit him hard, wrapping him up, and Jasper, our safety flew in to help finish the tackle. Fourth down. The stadium was shaking now. People were screaming. I looked at the sideline and saw Coach waving his arms, screaming for us to stay locked in. I glanced at the scoreboard again. Only seconds left. One play. That was all it came down to. The quarterback stood in shotgun this time. Four receivers spread wide. Pass coming. I knew it.

Alice seized my hand, her body trembling with a mix of emotions. I recoiled, breaking her grip, my desire to keep her at arm's length instinctual. "Ma'am, I believe we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Please, have some dignity." My gaze was icy, treating them as if they were mere strangers. Alice's eyes brimmed with tears, perhaps wounded by my coldness. "My son, we know we're to blame, but after three years with no word, can't you give us a chance to right our wrongs?"

Adrian stood at the center of the crowd, the regret in his eyes impossible to hide. The media surged forward. "Miss Warren, what prompted you to make the decision to call off the engagement?" "Was it the financial state of Cole Group, or the involvement of a third party?" "Is Zoe Bennett the third party mentioned?" ... The noise was overwhelming. Watching Adrian's face grow paler by the second, I quietly left him the last shred of dignity. Under the blinding flashes, my thoughts drifted back to that year. Adrian had attended a yacht gala with Zoe, who had taken my place. I had been stopped cold by security, left standing outside the yacht, exposed to the night wind.

"Candice, let's end this. After 18 years, Lucas should be with his real mother." I smirked and signed the divorce papers without hesitation. Yvonne burst into tears of joy and rushed toward Lucas. "My precious son, we can finally be together!" Lucas was exasperated. He shook his head at me and stepped away from Yvonne. "My real mom is right here, so don't try to claim me as yours!" Yvonne stumbled, frozen by his words. She looked pleadingly at Zayn, tears welling in her eyes.
