Chapter 6

Thirty minutes later, Victoria’s “kidnapping” was blowing up across every platform–Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, even making breaking news on local stations.

In the livestream, her face appeared dramatically swollen from staged slaps, tears streaming perfectly as she sobbed: “Daddy! Caspian! Please help me–they’re going to kill me!”

Right on cue, her “kidnapper” made the planned slip, revealing me as the mastermind.

“Valentina Dagonet’s paying us good money for this,” a distorted voice growled, then feigned alarm. “Fuck–you didn’t hear that.”

Victoria seized the moment with remarkable theatricality. “Val, I understand you’re devastated about losing your spot at SAB. I know you resent me, but please–I forgive you! Let me go, not because I’m scared to die, but because I can’t bear to watch you destroy yourself like this!”

Dad joined the emergency livestream, his face twisted with fury as he shouted my name.

“VALENTINA! Release Victoria NOW! This has nothing to do with her–if you want revenge, come

after me instead!”

Caspian jumped in, his voice cracking with emotion: “Val, stop this insanity! What would Mom think seeing you like this? How could she ever rest in peace knowing what you’ve become?”

The hypocrisy was almost comical. They orchestrated my destruction, yet somehow I was the

villain?
