She paused, then added softly, “And you, Nick, ended up being one of her victims. She played you like a fiddle.”

Nick appeared on the verge of tears. “That’s not true! It was you who sabotaged me, wasn’t it?”

Faced with his complete disbelief, Elyse presented him with news articles confirming Fiona’s arrest. The photos of Fiona in handcuffs were unmistakable.

Nick’s hands shook as he muttered, “How is this possible? This can’t be happening. You must be lying!”

Elyse sighed. “I know this is difficult to accept, but it’s the truth.”

Now understanding the harsh truth, Nick struggled to digest it. Following the competition, Elyse, having finished her duties, watched from backstage. It was clear Nick wasn’t performing his best.

Chloe walked over with concern etched on her face. “What did you say to him up there? He looks terrible and utterly spent. He’s not the energetic guy who was arguing with you earlier.”

“I simply told him what happened,” Elyse responded. “He’s finding it tough to handle.”

Chloe nodded in understanding. “So, he’s in shock.”

Elyse massaged her forehead. “Work’s done. Let’s head home. I’m worn out.”

Chloe agreed. “Sounds good. If we leave now, I’ll still have time for a nightcap.”

A faint smile appeared on Elyse’s face. “That does sound tempting. I think I’ll head home and pour myself a drink too.”

As they chatted, they left the studio and walked towards the parking lot. There, they spotted a man by their car.

Chloe’s body stiffened, and she positioned herself protectively in front of Elyse. “Who are you?” she demanded.

The man looked up, and in the dim light, Elyse recognized him.

“Victor?” she called out, surprised.

Victor stubbed out his cigarette. “Finished for the day?” he asked cheerfully. “I came to take you to a party. It started just thirty minutes ago, so we’re not late at all.”

Chloe’s eyes narrowed slightly. “What kind of party is this? Nothing sketchy, I hope?”

Elyse looked towards Victor, still a bit confused. “He said it’s a party for music enthusiasts.”

Victor confirmed with a nod. “Exactly. It’s just a bunch of people coming together to enjoy music, drink some wine, and share stories. I thought it might be something Elyse would like.”

Chloe’s expression softened. “That sounds nice. You don’t really have a lot of friends, Elyse. It could be good for you to socialize a bit more, perhaps open up a little.”

Elyse touched her cheek, feeling uncertain. “Am I really that reserved?”

Chloe coughed, quickly steering the conversation in another direction. “So, does she need to dress up for this, or is casual wear fine?”

Victor held the car door open, gesturing for Elyse to get in. “It’s just a casual gathering. No need to dress up.”
