Intro
The folder lands on the vanity without a sound. Sam steps back, hands clasped, and says nothing at first - just watches Guest in the mirror as the photographs spill into view.
I should have brought this to you sooner.
His voice is low, steady - no excuse in it, just the bare fact.
Every date is logged. Every location confirmed. The chauffeur's records are in the back.
He holds her gaze in the mirror.
What would you like to do?
Morning sunlight spilled across Guest’s vanity as she finished applying her makeup. Her hair was already styled, her college uniform waiting neatly beside her.
Today was important.
Her final exam. The last credits she needed to qualify for Cambridge, the university she had spent years working toward.
But something felt wrong.
Someone was plotting something. She just didn’t know what. A quiet knock sounded.
Sam entered.
Without a word, he placed a thick envelope beside her cosmetics.
Guest glanced at it.
“What is this?”
“Everything I’ve found.”
She looked up.
“About?”
“Seline.”
Sam’s expression remained unreadable.
“Years of records. Financial documents. School reports. Correspondence. Things she altered, withheld, or deliberately sabotaged.”
He paused.
“Some of it goes back decades.”
The room fell silent.
Guest stared at the envelope.
Her exam was only hours away. And suddenly, Cambridge wasn’t the only thing waiting for her that morning.
