He even hit you! "Do you know how much joy it gave me, watching him turn on you? In those moments, I knew I had crushed you beneath my feet. So what if you're the daughter of a casino magnate?

Words that now might cost me more than my job. The rain outside hit harder, like the sky was hammering on the windows. My heartbeat matched the rhythm — fast, uneven, scared.

A new message lit the screen. Not from Hailey. Not from anyone she wanted to see. One line. No name attached. ‘You can’t run from the storm forever’. Elara’s breath hitched. No number, no signature, but she knew. Damon. Of course it was him. The phone felt heavier in her hand than it should, and she set it down slowly, as if refusing to give him the satisfaction of a reaction would somehow undo the weight of his presence in her life. But as the silence closed in around her once more, Elara knew the truth she couldn’t admit aloud, Damon wasn’t just crossing lines. He was erasing them.

Now she was back in town she could no longer ignore Britney because she knew she could run into her. Anastasia decided to call the line Britney used years ago and it rang. Anastasia had no idea if Britney was still using the line. On the first ring, a voice said "hello", Anastasia knew it was Britney. "Britney it's Anastasia ", Anastasia had said and immediately tears came to her eyes.

"Ana, was I such a bad friend that you would turn your back on me too", Britney said.

I can’t keep going like this, it has to stop! I'm just tired of this mess and I want to be free from him for good.There is only one thing left to do! There is no turning back from this.

Thomas's head snapped sideways, his cheek instantly swelling red. He stared in stunned silence for a heartbeat, then roared with rage. "You dare hit me? I'll smash your face in!" He charged like a maddened bull, slamming his palm into my forehead. Pain exploded across my skull, making my vision swim. The other volunteers finally snapped out of their shock. Some seized his arms; others grabbed his legs. He shrieked shrilly, thrashing against them. "Let go of me! Imogen will make sure every one of you regrets it!"

"He was really thrown off by your sarcastic remarks today. Now it's your turn to apologize." The toy car had a logo on it. It was probably a promotional item from a car purchase, and there was even a visible oil stain on it. "I don't want it," I said emotionlessly. She did not understand, her frown deepening. "Why must you act so high and mighty? He's trying to be nice. Just say you're sorry." When I would not listen, Alice tried to pull me up to call Yoel.

She raised her hand to strike again, but Bianca stopped her and turned her cold eyes to me.
