She turned to them, smiling. “Your powers are noise. Hers is silence. And silence always wins.” They couldn’t move, couldn't speak, and couldn’t help me either. But they saw me. And their eyes were filled with fear. Veyra turned back to me, fingers tightening. “Last chance,” she whispered. “Give it up.” I looked at my friends,broken, bleeding, and helpless.

They need to wear headphones while looking at the front. The questions for the average round are mathematical equations and they need to answer it as fast as they can. The first one to answer will have the bloody cookie. And the first one to get five cookies will be the winner. As per instruction, they could forfeit their position and call for help from their partner. But still, calling for help is out of Raia's option. He needs to win this and become the last man standing.

I began my own vows. “I promise I will never stay by disappearing,” I said, and I felt the words settle into the room around us. “I promise to tell you when I am hurt before silence teaches me to leave. I promise to take space when I need it, but not to use distance as a weapon. I promise to return with truth. I promise to walk toward you as myself, not as someone dressed for anyone else’s approval.

Alessia placed their marriage agreement before him. “You took this.” “I needed to read it.” “Which clause instructed you to surrender without speaking to me?” “The one you wrote. Betrayal ends the agreement.” “You think our marriage is over?” “I withheld the truth.” “So you decided for both of us.” “I gave you freedom from my crimes.” “You gave me an empire I never asked for and disappeared.” “I couldn’t ask you to choose me over your principles.”

Since I was younger, I’ve had all the people I love the most leave me so I admit there were times that made me question our feelings for each other but I never once thought of leaving you. We both have secrets we keep from each other but I never thought you’d use me in this way. I really wish you’d spoken to me about today. It would’ve definitely made a lot of things easier.” Letting out a defeated sigh, I move past her walking to the door.

" I looked into his deep eyes and saw my reflection clearly within them. In this life, there was no betrayal, no despair. Only blooming flowers and a love that would never fade. "Joseph, I love you too."

“For now.” Silas’s smile was a flash of white in the twilight. “Excellent.” And as the creature of silence lunged, our fragile, treacherous alliance began. “For now,” I repeated, the words a promise and a threat woven together.
