Chapter 119: A Mystery To Solve

"OH, SHIT." I muttered under my breath as my head throbbed painfully the moment I woke up.

The sun was too bright. Instead of opening my eyes, I opted to stay under the covers, pulling the blanket over my head. I just wanted to sleep a little longer.

I was drunk, but I remember everything. Ash's presence, Finnick' confession... and me, getting wasted after that conversation between Senator Windwood and Simon.

"It's fucking mutual, Sapphire."

"Damn it." I shot up from the bed, remembering Ash's words last night.

I was a complete mess. My curly hair was all over the place, drool streaked the corner of my mouth, and my cheeks were so red it looked like I'd been slapped ten times. I winced as I tried to recall how many bottles I had drunk last night. I remember the conversations but not the number of drinks. I'd lost count.

After washing my face, I brewed a cup of coffee. I took out the SD card I had hidden beneath the espresso machine. It was one of the least likely places for intruders to check if they ever searched my place.

"How can I use this?" I examined the card carefully. "I need to use this in the best way possible..."
