Izzy stood near the window, staring at the city below. The streets of San Francisco were alive with movement–cars weaving through traffic, pedestrians rushing along the sidewalks, buildings illuminated with the glow of countless offices and restaurants. The world kept moving, indifferent to what had happened to her.

Her arms were crossed, her fingers gripping her own skin lightly as if grounding herself. She exhaled sharply. “Are you sure it was Cecil?” Just a few minutes ago, Liam told her that he suspected Cecil was the one behind this. However, he was almost certain, she wasn’t acting alone. Sadly, he couldn’t find out anything about her accomplice.

Liam leaned against the small table in the hospital room, his arms folded. “There’s no hard evidence.” He watched her carefully. “But that was expected. Cecil knows how to cover heracks. She’s good at this.”

Izzy’s fingers curled tighter against her arm. “She really will do anything to bring me down?

Liam pushed off the table and walked toward her. “Don’t worry about Cecil. She has her own problems to deal with now.”

Izzy turned her head slightly, her eyes narrowing. “What do you mean?”

Liam reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a tablet. Without another word, he handed it to her.

Izzy took it and glanced at the screen. A live news broadcast was played. The anchor, a sharply dressed woman with neatly styled blonde hair, was speaking in a serious tone.
