“He’s been through worse–hostile environments, dangerous situations. Don’t worry about him. He’s tougher than you think,” Gary said, trying to downplay Zev’s current predicament, as if it were just another minor issue.
Kelly wanted to argue, but she held back. She didn’t want to make the situation more complicated than it already was. She simply nodded and followed the driver out of the station.
Inside the car, Kelly sat silently, her eyes focused on Zev’s phone, which she still held in her hands. Suddenly, she froze, realizing she hadn’t asked him for the password.
She tried a few different combinations, none of which worked. Even her own birthday didn’t unlock it.
Frustrated, she typed in six ones. The phone unlocked instantly.
It was as though the password didn’t matter at all–Zev must have trusted that no one would try to break into his phone.
The phone itself was simple–only a handful of contacts in his WhatsApp: Gary, Oscar, Caden, and a few others. Zev didn’t seem to keep a large circle of friends.
However, the photo album told a different story. It was filled with pictures of Kelly–photos she didn’t even know had been taken.
There were images of her shopping at the market, candid side–profile shots of her cooking, and even one of her standing in the sunset with the golden light casting a warm glow around her.
Kelly couldn’t help but admit that the photos were well done. Has Zev taken up photography as a hobby?
After scrolling through the album, Kelly didn’t find the video she had recorded of Regina and Beau, but she was sure Zev had stored it elsewhere, perhaps on a cloud platform.
Sure enough, it was there.
She quickly transferred the video to her own phone, then began organizing the timeline and gathering all the evidence she had. She was determined to hold Beau accountable at the Commendation Conference.
When the car pulled up to her apartment complex, she was just stepping out when Eric’s call came through.
She had a feeling–Beau must have pressured Eric, making sure everything went according
‘s plan.
“Hello?” Kelly answered the phone.
“Kelly, please, don’t say anything rash at the Commendation Conference. I’m begging you. Don’t make this worse. We’ve known each other for years, and I’ve never asked you for anything before,” Eric’s voice was tight with worry, almost pleading.
Kelly’s disgust grew.

“Kelly, do you trust Zev that much? You really think I’m the one lying? Have you never left Faye alone with him?” Eric tried to deflect, attempting to further tarnish Zev’s character.
“No!” Kelly snapped, cutting him off. “I’ve never let Faye out of my sight when she’s been around him. Not once!”
Eric was silent for a moment, his next words caught in his throat. After a Tong pause, he spoke again. “Kelly, you need to listen to me. If you don’t… Zev could end up serving at least a year.”
He had finally resorted to threatening her.
Kelly’s mind drifted back to the past–the time when she and Eric first got together.
How did I ever fall for him?
She couldn’t help but wonder if, from the very beginning, she had been walking straight into his trap.
On her first day of school, she had felt an immediate connection to him, and after each meeting, she became more convinced that he was perfect–no flaws, nothing to criticize.
“I’ll be waiting for you outside your building tomorrow morning, and then we’ll head to the hospital together,” Eric insisted once more.
Kelly responded coldly, “No, thanks.”
“Kelly, this isn’t a suggestion–it’s an order!” Eric’s voice grew firmer, demanding compliance.
Without hesitation, Kelly hung up the phone.
She had been thinking about whether five years could truly alter someone so profoundly. But perhaps the real question wasn’t how much he had changed in those years; maybe he had always been this way, and she had just failed to see it before.
Michael had once warned her, “Kelly, by the time the first day of school is over, some people already know everything about everyone’s background. You come from a good family, one of the best among the girls, and I’m sure Eric knew that. He was probably watching you the whole time.”
Michael had also warned her, “Kelly, do you know how far some men will go? They divide women into categories—‘good‘ women must come from the right family, and ideally, be the only child. Why? Because they say only children are easier to control. And in the end, the girl’s parents‘ wealth becomes theirs.”
At the time, Kelly had thought Michael was exaggerating. Sure, men like that existed, but Eric? She was certain he wasn’t one of them.
Now, she saw that she had been wrong all along. Eric was the one who had used the most cu from the start.
