OLIVIA’S POV

We walked into the room, fully aware of the task ahead. Our plan was simple try reason first, keep things calm, and only escalate to threats il absolutely necessary. I reminded myself to be patient. Threats could wait. For now, we just needed her to talk.

I crossed my arms, my patience already wearing thin. “Very funny. Your friends said the same thing at first–playing tough, acting like they’d never break. But eventually, they all gave in. And trust me, you’re no different. You’ll do the same unless you plan on rotting down here forever.”

She shrugged and leaned back. “You’ve already got me down here, so what’s the point? I might as well talk. I’m not really in the mood to drag this out. So whatever it is you want to ask me, go ahead. I’ll answer your questions. Truthfully.”

Julian stepped forward, folding his arms. His tone was even but firm. “We don’t need answers to questions we already know. What we need is a confession–from you, right here, right now.”

“Okay,” she said without hesitation. “Do I start now, or do you want me to wait for a dramatic cue?”

Julian nodded, and together we walked back into the basement room. The coldness of the air mixed with the tension that still lingered in the space, but the woman sitting before us seemed almost… relaxed. It was unnerving.

You two have ma locked down here illegally,” she said, her voice calm and level. “Nobody’s coming for me. Adrian isn’t searching for me. I’m off the grid, and even if I stay silent Kill* down here for days–maybe months–with no one the wiser.”

She paused and crossed one leg over the other, her expression unreadable. “So what’s the point of staying quiet? What good does it do me to be stubborn and waste both our time? I decided to be mature and say what you want to hear. That way, we both win. You get your confession, and I get to leave.”
