Will You Betray Me?

Rachel fell to her knees, her face pallid and eyes wide with a mixture of shock and disbelief. The revelation had hit her with the force of a sledgehammer, shattering the illusions she had clung to.

Asher stood above her, his gaze a storm of unbridled, cold fury. His eyes quivered with a blend of anger and betrayal, "It turns out your mom isn't really an angel, is she?" His voice was sharp, each word dripping with disdain.

Rachel's hands trembled as she stared at the floor, her world spinning uncontrollably. The device they'd planted to overhear Cecilia's conversation had revealed a truth she had never imagined. 

The realization that her mother was behind the murder of Cedric's friends struck like a thunderbolt, sending shockwaves through her entire being.

Asher's rage simmered beneath the surface, barely contained. He had always suspected something was amiss, especially when his friends were no pushovers and yet died like flies one after the other.
