EPISODE 24: "BENEATH THE MASQUERADE"

## Maya's POV

We walked into the masquerade ball,with Tahir's . Aisha was on his other side, her eyes

sparkling with excitement.

The music swirled, and the masks seemed to shimmer. We were anonymous, hidden behind our disguises.

But I knew Victor was out there, watching. We had to be careful.

## Aisha's POV

The ballroom was a whirlwind of color and sound. I felt alive, free.

Tahir's eyes met mine, and I saw a glimmer of amusement. He was enjoying this.

## Tahir's POV

The girls were stunning, their masks highlighting their features. I felt a sense of

pride.

We moved through the crowds, searching for Victor. He'd be here, hiding behind his own mask.

## Maya's POV

The music changed, and Tahir pulled me close.

We danced, our bodies swaying to the rhythm.

For a moment, I forgot about Victor and the danger. I was lost in the music.

## Aisha's POV

I watched, mesmerized, as Tahir and Maya danced. They moved in perfect sync.

But then, I saw him. Victor. He was watching us, his eyes cold.

## Tahir's POV

I saw Victor, his mask failing to hide his malevolence. I nodded to my men.

It was time to put our plan into action.

## Maya's POV

The music stopped, and Tahir's men moved in. Victor was surrounded.

Aisha's hand brushed mine, and I felt a surge of triumph. We'd done it.

## Aisha's POV

Victor's mask was ripped off, revealing his twisted face. He snarled, furious.

But it was too late. He was caught.

## Tahir's POV

The authorities arrived, taking Victor away. The girls smiled, relieved.

We'd done it. We'd brought him to justice.

As the masks came off, I saw the girls' faces, radiant with joy. It was a moment I'd never forget.

The music started again, and the ballroom erupted into cheers. We'd won.
