Chapter 7

"What's the issue now, Lucas?" Tyler's voice dripped with irritation. "I thought you were dying to wrap this shit up. We swear she won't actually die! We'll open the doors right before she starts, like, convulsing or whatever."

Lucas's voice remained granite-hard: "It's too fucking risky. Nothing happens to her. Find another way."

"Are you serious right now?" Blake jumped in, openly hostile. "You ghosted Leila tonight to chase after that nobody! She's been crying her eyes out all evening- took you fifty texts to calm her down. You promised we'd plan the grand finale tonight to prove you're still team Leila. Now suddenly you're getting cold feet? Have you forgotten who actually matters here? Dump the loner wolf already and get back to the girl your wolf has been howling for since kindergarten."

Lucas's breathing quickened audibly, like he was about to launch into an argument, when a delicate voice cut through the call:

"Lucas." Leila's soft, hurt tone immediately silenced everyone. "I heard what you guys were discussing. So I'll just ask you directly-I need this to be the final punishment for what she did to me. Are you with me... or with her?"

The silence that followed was deafening.

"You promised you'd do anything for me," Leila's voice trembled with perfectly calibrated vulnerability. "I thought I was the one who mattered to you."

After a lengthy pause, he finally answered, his voice rough with resignation: "Fine. Whatever you want, Leila."

Her tone instantly brightened. "That's my Lucas."

The guys whooped in the background: "Epic finale, here we come!"

"Just make absolute sure nothing actually happens to her," Lucas insisted once more, his tone leaving no room for debate.
