Olive collapsed against the wall, clutching her neck as she coughed and gasped for air, her breath hitching in desperate sobs. His voice cracked, a mix of anger and heartbreak spilling out. "You've been lying to me this whole time. You used me. I thought you cared, Olive… but you're just like all the others. I never want to see your face again."
"Lucas, calm down," Mark interjected quietly, his voice steady yet tinged with sadness. He watched the scene unfold with a heavy heart, knowing his words held little weight. He glanced between them, torn between stepping in and letting Lucas vent his emotions.
