CHAPTER 30
: Revenge in the Shadows
Melody's P.O.V.
The cold metal of the handcuffs bit painfully into my wrists as the officers roughly shoved me into the back of the police van. The once familiar warehouse, which had served as my battlefield, now felt like a tomb—a place where my downfall had been sealed in concrete and steel. The dim, flickering lights cast long, eerie shadows over the crates and steel beams as if mocking my current predicament. I could feel Sophia's cold gaze burning into my back, her smirk of triumph etched into my mind. Even as the van doors slammed shut, the sound reverberating in the silence like a death knell, I knew this wasn't the end. Sophia had won this round, but the war between us was far from over.
