The Villa was a total madhouse, with reporters scrambling to capture the day's events.
I was tucked away in the crowd, watching from a safe distance.
Ariel was on the ground, sobbing. What surprised me was that Nancy and Ethan were nowhere to be found.
Clara found me among the crowd. "You're here. Nancy and Ethan are in the room. Damon has someone keeping an eye on them."
"Alright." I nodded.
Suddenly, Ariel spotted me. Her eyes were swollen and red, brimming with hatred. She sprang up and charged at me.
Luckily, Damon was quick on his feet and pulled me behind him.
Ariel's hair was a mess; she looked unhinged. "Damon, you've been playing me with Eliana this whole time, right?" She accused, "You used me to get close to Nancy and the others, right? You had Eliana get those documents, didn't you? I can't believe you'd stoop so low!"
"You fight fire with fire." Damon replied coldly.
