Lilith stiffened, she felt another hand, strong and deliberate, reach out and grasp her free wrist. The touch was firm yet surprisingly familiar, sending a strange shiver down her spine. She didn't need to look; she already knew whose hand it was.
Human Doll.
Before she could react, the sound of a projector whirred to life, and the stage wall lit up with a large screen. Everyone's eyes turned toward it as a slideshow of photos began to play.
The photos continued to flash across the screen, one more damning than the last. There was Rayan with Lia, both of them wrapped in a tight embrace, sharing intimate kisses in the park, holding hands as they strolled along the streets, even entering a hotel together.
Rayan's face drained of color as the photos burned into the screen, his eyes wide with panic. He could feel his entire world shattering. The room was filled with whispers and gasps, people exchanging looks of disbelief and shock.
