“Nicholas, have you forgotten that I’m the one who’s been wronged here?” I yelled into the phone but only heard the dial tone in response.

If Nicholas and I were at odds, why didn’t he just end things sooner? Nicholas said I never understood him, and at this moment, I admitted it.

I spent the entire night pacing the room until dawn. I wanted to see Brittany. Since I shouldn’t be doing that, I tried calling Neal for help, but he didn’t answer.

I was informed by the Criminal Investigation Division that Neal had been suspended for disciplinary reasons and was under investigation.

I didn’t need to ask around to know which ward Claudia was staying in. I went straight to the top floor. The room was empty except for Claudia, who

was sleeping soundly.

She woke up when I pushed the door open. “Ariana?”

“Claudia,” I called her name as I approached her.

to call her.

“She came to visit me, and I was worried her family might worry about her. I’m sorry, Ariana. I shouldn’t have let her use your phone.”

“Calling is one thing, but why did Brittany know my bank account password? Claudia, who besides you knows that?”

“M–Maybe she guessed it.”

I smiled faintly. “Claudia, do you even hear what you’re saying?”

Claudia suddenly crawled a few steps closer to my feet. “Ariana, let’s just forget about this. I don’t want our relationship to be damaged because of someone else’s mistakes.

“Also, Nick is very angry. I overbeard him on the phone saying that he’s only targeting your friends right
