An uneasy feeling crawled onto her neck. She squeezed the note even tighter, then slipped it into her purse.

Paul was someone she'd become acquainted with from the Group's previous annual party. He was one of the people Westley had introduced to her, and that day, they'd bonded very well with Paul being a very lovable man. He was a man in his early fifties and had some sort of relationship with Westley. So, there were a few times Sylvie had seen him with Westley, which made them even become better friends.

Of course, Sylvie. It's only a sleep inducer. It's not like you causing real harm, he'd said with that ugly smile on his face.

Sylvie sighed wearily, closing her eyes and shutting out the memories.

She kept walking, until she reached the balcony, and that was when it happened - the moment her heart stopped beating.

She froze, color draining from her face.
