"Enough."
My voice cut through the chaos.
Everyone turned.
Even Daniel.
Even Nora.
Even the police.
For the first time that night…
I wasn't shaking.
I wasn't scared.
I was angry.
"You all planned my life like it was a game."
Silence.
Daniel watched carefully.
Nora crossed her arms.
Amara looked worried.
But I continued.
"You wanted revenge."
I looked at Daniel.
"You wanted money."
I looked at Nora.
Then I smiled slightly.
"But none of you actually won."
Confusion spread across their faces.
Daniel narrowed his eyes.
"What are you talking about?"
I reached into my bag slowly.
And placed something on the table.
A document.
One I signed earlier that day.
Victor looked shocked.
Daniel grabbed it.
Then his face changed.
Because suddenly the entire game had
flipped.
And the power in the room…
Was finally mine.
But the real war was only starting.
