SHORT SUMMARY OF THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER.
Ramika is shown lost in her thoughts, staring out of a window and tracing scars on her abdomen. Veronica treats Ramika warmly and presents an array of human food, surprising Ramika and Sana with her kindness. The atmosphere becomes tense as Veronica hints that Ramika is not a human but belongs to the Underworld. This revelation leaves Ramika shocked and anxious.
The narrative then takes a brief flashback to a year earlier, about the silver-haired assassin known as the Whisperer and his partnership with Catherine who procured various under-the-table deals of high-profile assassin contracts for him, while using the money to build and develop her position within the underworld.
