But then I caught sight of my relection in the mirror across the room. My hair was a little messy, my makeup slightly smudged. I still had traces of dust on my clothes from the abandoned building.

No. Nor Ekeh

I pasted me of the bed making my way to the bathroom. A warm shower first, then I’d call Liam.

Sepping of my clothes. I stepped under the hot stream of water, letting it wash away the last traces of the night. I felt Spe. The weight I had been carrying for days had finally been lifted.

Everything was back under my control.

By the time I stepped out, wrapping a plush towel around myself, I felt completely renewed. I took my time drying my hair. hamming softly, still riding the high of my little victory.

And then-

Ding

I frowned, grabbing my phone from the counter. Probably Liam, already wondering where I was and if I was handling

But when I glanced at the screen, my stomach dropped.

It was a message from an anonymous sender.

“Wrong target, Charlotte “I read out loud

My blood turned to ice.

Tran’t believe you actually thought a mere cleaner was the blackmailer. You are more easy to fool than I thought.” I continued reading

No.

No, no, no, no.

My breath hitched. My fingers went numb

I stared at the message, my mind racing, my pulse pounding so hard I could feel it in my ears.

The cleaner–Rita–she had been telling the truth?

I had shot an innocent girl?

My eyes glanced towards the messages once more. “Send me the money, or Damien gets this video. I whispered to myself frightfully.

I nearly dropped my phone.

A choked gasp escaped my throat. My entire body went cold, even as my skin burned with panic.

This isn’t happening.

My hands shook as I clicked on the unknown number, my breath shallow

“No, no, no.” I whispered under my breath.

My thoughts were spinning out of control.

This wasn’t over.

I hadn’t won.

The real blackmailer was still out there. Watching me. Toying with me. And now now they knew what I had done.

I swallowed hard, gripping my phone tighter.

No. This couldn’t be happening

I needed to think. I needed to-

Knock Knock

The sharp rapping at my door jolted me so hard I almost dropped my phone.

“Charlotte”

My mother’s voice

My breath hitched, my pulse still hammering in my ears as I whipped around, eyes darting toward the door like it had just grown fangs

No. Not now. Not when my entire world was falling apart.

“What?” I snapped, voice taut with barely restrained panic.

“I need you to get some things from the store, she called from the other side, completely oblivious to the fact that my life. was on the verge of collapsing right in front of me

I clenched my jaw, my grip on my phone tightening until my knuckles ached.

Not now.

“I’m busy,” I barked, turning my back to the door. My eyes stayed locked on my phone, my hands clammy as I hovered over the screen, willing it to somehow erase what I had just read.

“It won’t take long,” she pressed, voice carrying that motherly patience that normally would have made me roll my eyes. Right now, it only made me feel like I was suffocating-

My pulse was erratic. My chest felt tight.

This wasn’t over.

I hadn’t won.

I had made a mistake.

A huge mistake.

And now, the real blackmailer was still watching, still pulling my strings like I was some pathetic puppet.

The thought made nausea swirl in my gut. I never lost. I never let anyone get the best of me.

But this this was a game I didn’t even know the rules to.

I had played my move–had gone all in, convinced I was ending this. But the real blackmailer had just laughed in and flipped the board over like it was all a joke.

My stomach twisted violently.

I had been so sure.

But it wasn’t

And I had shot her.

I had threatened her life. I had tormented an innocent girl.

And the real blackmailer had been watching.

A sharp wave of rage crashed over me, clashing with the fear.

Who the hell was playing with me like this?

Who the hell thought they could blackmail me?

My mother knocked again, a little harder this time. “Charlotte, are you listening?”

The sound made me snap,

I stormed toward the door, yanking it open so violently that my mother actually flinched, eyes widening in shock.

“Leave me alone, Hissed, voice trembling–not with anger, but with something far worse.

They were serious..

They weren’t bluffing.

My mouth felt dry.

My lips parted, but no sound came out.

I had no choice.

Not this time.

Whoever this was–they were ten steps ahead of me.

And if I didn’t play along, if I so much as breathed the wrong way-

Damien would see everything.

My fingers hovered over the keyboard for a second longer before I forced myself to type a single response.

“Fine. I’ll be waiting.”

I threw my phone onto the bed, my breath coming in shallow, uneven gasps. My hands found my hair, my nails digging into my scalp as I tried to think, tried to breathe.
