He knew that doing this meant betraying Willow, so he kept it hidden from her. In the beginning, he still felt guilty, but as the happiness he gained from his affair grew, the happiness outweighed the guilt, and he chose the other woman. When all his lies fell apart, they had an ugly fight. They insulted and fought against each other so badly that their home no longer felt like one. In the end, they even swore that they would have nothing to do with each other anymore. They got a divorce last month. As the villainess of the story, my mother was insanely obsessive.

“Encrypted. Everything you need is preloaded. I built a tunnel that lets you access internal systems at Vale Threads. Only Mara will know it’s you.” I met his eyes. “How’s she doing?” “She’s steady. Waiting for your instructions. She also forwarded something to you a few hours ago.” He walked to the desk and tapped the laptop. I sat down beside him and lifted the screen. There it was. A plain folder labeled in gray font. Vale Threads — Internal Watch Inside were dozens of files. Screenshots. Emails. Strategy drafts. And the first wave of media manipulation. I opened the first document. A lifestyle article. Alessia’s face was at the top. Her expression was sweet, eyes downturned modestly, han

“And now, the catalyst is contaminated. A tragedy.” “You will fix this,” Kairi demanded, rising to his feet. The air crackled with his barely restrained power. “You will find a way to purify the thread. You will help her.” Silas actually laughed, a dry, hacking sound. “Purify it? My dear boy, you cannot unscramble an egg. You cannot un-feel a feeling. The thread is now a reflection of her.” He pointed a shaky finger at me. “Its potential is fused with her paradox, and her paradox, thanks to your literary efforts, is currently a black hole of despair. The only thing that thread is capable of creating now is more of the same.”

And together, they stepped toward the pulse of the bloom, where threads of Iluren shimmered, waiting for the world to decide their meaning. The world shivered. Not with wind, not with earthquake, but with the subtle pull of pre-memory, radiating outward from the spiral fracture. Where the bloom-thread had touched, people felt truths they had never known and memories they had never lived. In the northern spires, the Veilshards panicked. “The threads… they’re alive,” an elder muttered. “They’re bending our wards. Corrupting our spells. “We must bind them!” another shouted. “Before they unravel the Pact!”

“It’s a cost for existence. Pay it or fold. No inheritance by imitation.” For the first time, the echo quieted. It wasn’t dramatic silence. It was a decision of silence. Rowan stepped a foot closer. “If it collapses from indecision, thread cost snaps.” “I know,” Aelin said. Jayden crouched then, finally speaking—subject position at runtime: “Thread binds not by face but by lineage, solved once. No copy recursion. Child doesn’t die for refusing to plagiarize.” Rowan nodded. Ivy smiled again—blade queen logic sharpening maternal pride into weaponless grin acknowledgment.

--- When Vi came back upstairs, she tossed a blood-stained cloth onto the table. “He cracked. Gave me enough to connect the dots.” Christopher picked it up, scanned what was written. “Victor’s using fake identities. Keeps changing cities every forty-eight hours. All his payments are funneled through old shell companies linked to a vault bank in Zurich.” Isla frowned. “That’s not new.” Vi shook her head. “But the orders? The real strings? They’re coming from someone called ‘The Widow.’” Isla went still. “What?”

Yvonne was reminded of the fatal poison. The fatal poison was the antidote to the Devil’s Flower. In other words, they canceled each other out. “You have the fatal poison in you?” Yvonne asked Kiran. “I don’t have the fatal poison, but Lilian and I have the Threads of Fate in us,” Kiran did not hide it. Yvonne’s face dimmed instantly as a complex look appeared on her face. “No wonder!” “What do you mean?”

“If Erik is the tether, and Scarlett the vessel, what’s Victoria?” “The variable,” I say. “The one who wasn’t meant to be a key, but became one anyway. She’s the wild card.” Signe nods slowly, before murmuring, “Then who finishes the spell?” I answer without thinking. “Scarlett.” Because she’s the only one who has threads in all three strands. Fire, silence, and soul. And if she breaks, everything will unravel. The hum intensifies suddenly and the loom groans loudly as a new thread shimmers into view. Violet threaded with gold.

The universe really said expectations versus reality that all her expectations really went down the drain with her standards. She was given romance with the villain. The villain who is the devil she signed a contract with. The villain who is sleeping soundly on her chest right now. The villain named Navier. Now, dating the villain doesn’t seem so bad… or is it?

‘ I realize in the images the girl from the mirror was also from the game. Aurelia Giliam... That is her name. She was the villainess of the game. She hated the heroine so much. She did countless things just to mess up her chances. Even though she was always causing trouble for me in the game. I could only feel a sense of kinship with her. She was like me.
