Chapter Twelve: The Final Battle

[A Point of No Return]

Lamar's voice echoed through the space—cold, filled with mystery and threat.

Lamar (with a cold smile): "Did you think you escaped the past? No… The past has come back to take you with it."

Nadia looked around… everything had grown darker. It was as if the walls were closing in on them, squeezing tighter.

Adam (angrily): "You were controlling us the whole time, weren't you?"

Lamar laughed. With just one step, the entire place trembled.

Lamar: "It wasn't me controlling you… Your own choices led you here. I only opened the door."

Ali stood at a distance, torn between his thirst for revenge and the truth he had just learned.

Nadia (firmly): "We're not going to die here… Are we?"

Adam grabbed her arm and whispered urgently:

Adam: "Nadia… This is bad. We need to find a way out."

But before anyone could move—the ground beneath them collapsed!

---

[Falling into the Unknown]

The earth swallowed them whole, sending them plummeting into an abyss of darkness.

Nadia's scream was the last thing heard… before everything faded away.

---

[The Awakening]

Nadia's eyes fluttered open, struggling to focus. She found herself in a strange place.

Not the mansion… not anywhere she recognized.

Everything was white, like a dense fog surrounding her.

Nadia (whispering, anxious): "Where… is this place?"

A voice behind her made her spin around—

Adam (uneasy): "Are we… still alive?"

Before she could answer, Lamar appeared—but she was different.

She wasn't wearing black. Her expression wasn't filled with malice.

Nadia (shocked): "You…?"

Lamar (calmly): "Not everything is as it seems. You want to know the truth? Prepare to be shocked."

[The Buried Truth]

Lamar extended her hand, and suddenly, everything around Nadia shifted.

She was pulled back in time… years ago.

She saw Yazan. She saw herself. She saw Ali… and the moment she had never imagined she'd witness again.

The day Yazan died.

But this time… she saw something new.

A figure stood hidden in the background, concealed in the shadows. He was the one who pushed Yazan—not Nadia, not Adam.

Nadia (shocked): "No… Impossible!"

Adam (choking on his words): "We weren't the reason… We were never the reason!"

Ali was frozen, tears slipping from his eyes.

Ali (whispering weakly): "Was I… wrong all along?"

---

[The True Traitor]

Nadia's heart pounded in her chest as she gasped for breath, struggling to process the truth.

But before she could think further, the vision shattered—bringing them back to reality.

Lamar (with chilling calmness): "The one who betrayed you… is still among you."

Adam spun around—his eyes widening in horror.

Standing behind them, with a cunning glint in his eyes, was…

The fifth person.

Yousef.

Yousef (with a cold smile): "Finally… you've uncovered the truth."

[The End is Near]

Nadia had finally seen the truth… but was there still time to escape?

Or was this the real ending…?

To be continued…
