Sophia's Point Of View
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
This wasn't happening.
This couldn't be happening.
My entire body trembled with both fear and rage as I sat there in the wheelchair—no, stood, I had already exposed myself. My legs felt numb, not from any injury, but from the overwhelming dread pooling in my stomach.
How could I have been so stupid?
How could I have forgotten I was supposed to be faking an injury?
The moment I had stood up, the cameras had caught everything.
And now, the whispers, the murmurs, the accusations—they clawed at me like wild animals.
My career...
Everything I had built over the years.
Everything I had worked for.
It was all… crumbling.
And it was because of her.
Morana.
That woman. That curse. That snake.
She had ruined me.
