Riley

I was scared.

No, more than scared. I was terrified. My whole body was shaking so badly that at one point I couldn’t even breathe. My chest tightened, my throat squeezed shut, and every inch of my skin felt like it was crawling as I stared at the woman standing across the cafeteria.

I knew this day would come.

Even when everything was normal, even when Nora and I were laughing, even when the world felt like it was settling back into its proper order, at the back of my mind, I knew Violet would eventually come for me.

I tried to ignore it, tried to pretend it didn’t matter, tried to convince myself that Violet was too soft, and harmless to actually retaliate. But after Sebastian fell and went into a coma, something in Violet snapped.

The once timid girl we pushed around like trash had disappeared overnight.

And when she came to our house with Silas, the world-famous lawyer who made actual CEOs and politicians sweat, when she walked into our living room and made wealthy women kneel like they were dirt under her shoes, that was when I realized Violet wasn’t Violet anymore. She had someone powerful behind her, someone scarier than anything I had ever imagined.

The boys who pushed Sebastian out the window were punished. To make it worse, Julian committed suicide. Even now, whenever I thought about it, my stomach twisted. It didn’t make sense. Julian would never kill himself. He was too much of a coward to die. And I knew Violet, no matter how much she had changed, no matter how angry she was, she would never kill someone.

So if it wasn’t her, then someone else did it.

Someone who wanted revenge for her. Someone who was willing to kill without hesitation.

Yes, I was scared of Violet, but I was more scared of the man strong enough to snap Julian’s life like it was nothing and still make it look like a clean suicide. If he could do that so easily, then what else could he do? What could he do to me?

My throat went dry. I swallowed, the sound loud in my ears, before turning toward Nora. She was eyeing Violet from head to toe, her expression twisted with confusion and irritation, still trying to understand how the nerd she looked down on had suddenly turned into someone people couldn’t stop staring at.

Violet’s transformation had startled me too, but it didn’t matter. Whatever was happening to her wasn’t my concern right now. Getting out of here was far more important.

I grabbed her wrist. “Let’s go.”

Nora turned to me sharply. “What?”

“Let’s go now, Nora.” My voice cracked. I tightened my grip, desperate. “Let’s just go before she comes here.”

Nora paused, raising a perfectly shaped eyebrow at me like I was the one losing my mind. “What on earth are you talking about, Riley? And why are you so scared of her? You’re acting so strange.”

Strange?

If only she knew.

“Answer me, Riley. Why are you so afraid of her? What did she do? Did she threaten you?”

I stared at her, trying to find the words to explain something no one would ever believe. How was I supposed to tell her that Violet wasn’t someone we could touch anymore? That with a single word she could ruin us? That she was protected by someone far more dangerous, someone who would kill for her, someone who could destroy our families without hesitation?

Nobody understood the danger except me.

My father brushed off my fear, too busy with the hospital. My mother just insulted Violet every chance she got, too blind and arrogant to see the cliff edge she was dancing on.

“Don’t ask unnecessary questions, Nora. Let’s just go home,” I hissed under my breath. My hands were shaking so badly I had to grip the edge of the table to steady myself. “You don’t have any more classes today. Let’s just leave, okay?”

Of course, Nora wouldn’t listen.

She never listened.

I could already see her irritation building, twisting her pretty features into something sharp and ugly. And I knew my behavior was setting her off even more.

Nora crossed her arms, glaring at me. “You’re being dramatic, Riley. Seriously. You’re not the Riley I know.” She leaned closer, voice dripping with annoyance. “Where’s the Riley who made Violet’s life a living hell? Hm? Where’s the Riley who told me to lie about having a heart problem so Matthew would pay attention to me? Where is she?”

Her words sliced through me, and I bit my lip until I tasted blood.

I was still the same person. I still hated Violet. I still wanted her ruined. I still wanted everything she had. I hadn’t suddenly become a saint, I was just terrified. I didn’t want to die. I didn’t want my family to be destroyed. I didn’t want to end up like Julian.

Nora smirked at my silence, flipping her perfect hair over her shoulder with a confidence that made my stomach twist. “Don’t worry so much, Riley. Really. No matter what Violet does now, don’t forget, I’m going to marry Matthew.” She smiled proudly. “And the Sinclairs are the most powerful family in the world. So no matter what happens or who’s backing her, Matthew’s family is still more important. She wouldn’t dare mess with me. I’ll be the Sinclair daughter-in-law.”

I stared at her, heart pounding. Nora was right, nobody dared cross the Sinclairs Their influence was terrifying. But still… something was wrong. The fear inside me wasn’t disappearing. It felt like we were missing the real danger entirely, like we were blind while Violet was steps ahead of us.

Nora stood up suddenly. “Don’t worry, Riley. I’ll prove it to you.”

My breath hitched. “Wait-where are you going?”

She turned, smirking at me as if this was all a game. “Just watch,” she said confidently. “I’ll show you who’s in charge.”

Before I could grab her or stop her, she picked up a glass of water and strutted across the cafeteria. My entire body froze, and my palms felt slick.

“No, no, Nora, what are you doing?” I whispered, but she was already halfway there.
