Helena's Suspicion

Day Seventy…

~~*****~~

Vincent had been in a bad mood ever since Phoenix's mission had failed.  Their objective had been to secure Jane and bring her to the facility, but they hadn't anticipated Nathan's sudden appearance at the most crucial moment. Frustration gnawed at Vincent as he sipped his whisky in his study room. Since his thoughts were consumed by other matters, he failed to notice the message that appeared on his phone screen—a message from Jane, asking him to meet.

Meanwhile, Helena had observed the shifts in Vincent's behavior in recent times. He seemed more distant than usual, at times even avoiding her. She couldn't help but wonder if this change was somehow linked to Phantomflake's reappearance and her unsettling presence. The uncertainty of the situation weighed heavily on her, fueling her jealousy, rage, and hatred toward Jane.
