That’s all I could think as I leaned against the bar counter, watching Sweet Gossip Feed announce the arrest warrant granted on live
Footage rolled. Girls being led out of Feroz’s hidden harem, faces blurred for protection and dignity. For one heart–stopping second,
nearly laughed out loud in pure, vicious jubilation.
Finally, Snow will have her victory.
Finally, he would be completely out of the way and then the drugs would hit the streets again.
Desmond glanced sideways at me, slow, knowing and gave a single nod. We had waited for this day and night. For Snow to finally taste justice. For Marlik to feel it. For Yasmin to feel it.
had arrived under the morning sky at Marlik’s house. We gathered in the living room. Me, Desmond, Marlik, Mother, eyes glued to the screen as the final nail was hammered into Feroz’s coffin.
The brief clip of him in the interrogation room played, his face half–shadowed, posture unnaturally still but it didn’t matter. The victory was here. The thrill of it hummed under my skin.
*But it feels strange,” Marlik said suddenly, voice low.
turned to him, brow furrowing.
He had watched the news day after day with the same hunger I felt. This was what we had all waited for. So why now, when it was finally here, did he look uneasy?
‘Doesn’t it feel… too easy?” he asked. “That he walked into H.O.W.L. by himself and let himself be arrested?”

Desmond turned to me, mirroring my expression.
Mother rose from her seat, rubbing her arms as though chilled.
“How about we focus on the positive side and stop thinking too much?” she said quickly. “He’s gone. He’s done for. That’s it.”

Feroz had no one left to tie him down. No beloved family to drag him back. No rogue allies to protect. His younger brother, I had killed him myself weeks ago.
So why?
Why walk straight into H.O.W.L.?
If I were him, I wouldn’t run either. Not when I had loose ends I couldn’t abandon. I couldn’t leave the Godlike family behind. I couldn’t leave my rogue family. I couldn’t leave Snow.
But Feroz had no one.
So why?
Desmond watched me, thinking the same thing.
Then my phone rang sharply, piercing the tension.
