“Ella, what’s the deal between your mom and Dark Portal?” Stephanie’s voice came through the phone, super direct.

Ella froze for a second, caught off guard. “Nothing. Why are you asking?” she replied.

She thought, ‘My mom’s a legit businesswoman. There’s no way she’s tied to an organization like Dark Portal. If there is some connection, it’s probably something messed up, like Dark Portal kidnapping her or something!

Ella had no idea why Dark Portal would be involved with her mom.

After hearing Ella’s response, Stephanie seemed a little uncertain. “Are you sure about that?”

“Yeah, I’m sure. Why?” Ella asked.

There was a pause before Stephanie spoke again. “That’s odd.”

“Odd?” Ella felt her heart skip a beat at the tone in Stephanie’s voice.

“I heard that the former leader of Dark Portal was a woman named Andrea,” Stephanie explained.

While Ella was at her check–up, she overheard Lottie on the phone saying the former female leader of Dark Portal, named Andrea, had returned to the group. Ella’s mom’s name was also Andrea.

Ella shook her head. “That can’t be the same person,” she said without thinking.

Before Stephanie could say anything, Ella quickly added, “There are tons of people with the same name.”

“Yeah, that’s true,” Stephanie agreed.

But she couldn’t help but feel like it was too much of a coincidence, especially since Ella’s mom was missing. If her mom were still in Long Harbor, maybe it was just another Andrea. But now, with her mom gone, it was hard to say.

“Wait. Something’s wrong,” Ella suddenly said.

“Huh?” Stephanie responded, sounding confused.

Ella took a deep breath. “Lorenzo said my mom was taken by people from Dark Portal.”

‘Even though it’s not 100% confirmed yet, if “Lorenzo says it, there has to be some truth to it. With the clues we have, this is definitely looking pretty likely,‘ Ella thought to herself.

As she thought about it, Ella’s breath caught in her throat. She’d heard the rumors about Dark Portal–how the previous leader was killed by the current one. A place with that kind of power probably has some shady stuff going on behind the

scenes.
