Chapter 10: The Talk of the City

*Kyros’ POV*

The first day that followed the woman’s fall was chaos. There was talk all over the city about the party at the Kimon’s and how a woman may have died. There were different theories as to how she may have died, but the running one seemed to be that she overdosed and went crazy. Someone had said that they saw her running down the hallway, chased by a man. Some people even said it was a sex game gone wrong.

I didn’t have the energy to deal with the others, so I didn’t return home the first day. Instead, I went about my large circle of friends and gathered intel on what others knew. So far, no one had tied us to the incident, but it felt like it was only a matter of time.

On the second day, I returned to my home. Upon entering, I found the others all sitting around the sitting area. We simply stared at one another until I joined them, taking a seat amongst them on the pillows that lined the floor. I poured myself a cup of wine and sipped slowly at it.
