Chapter 180.5 - Confontration, but girls

"You can fight me all you want. But eventually, you'll see. You'll come to me. Because without me… you'll lose everything. Him included." 

Maya's trembling fingers slowly loosened their grip on the edge of the bed as her breathing steadied. The suffocating silence in the room gave way to the quiet hum of her thoughts. Her mind replayed the voice's words, each one sharp and cruel, but they weren't entirely baseless. 

The voice wasn't wrong—it wasn't entirely right either—but it had struck at truths she hadn't wanted to confront. The realization gnawed at her, forcing her to reflect on everything that had brought her here, to this moment. 

Her confrontation with Irina. 

Her faltering resolve. 

Her failure to stand firm.
