ra''s fingers stopped in midair as she nced at Justin.
Justin let out a harshugh, full of smug satisfaction. He wasn''t as clueless as Lucius—he''d already called the cops beforeing here. By now, they were probably waiting right outside the door.
As if on cue, the police had seen everything. The timing couldn''t have been better.
Justin''s eyes gleamed with triumph, and a wicked grin finally stretched across his face. "Attempted murder, ra. You''ll be spending your next life in prison. You and Dn—what a doomed couple."
The officers had witnessed ra holding a shard of ss to Lucius''s throat. Now, they had their guns drawn and aimed.
"Drop the weapon!"
ra''s gaze flicked to Lucius, who was sprawled out on the floor.
Lucius arched a brow, his face twisted with a cruel sneer. "You really think you can kill me with the cops right here? Think about what you''re doing, ra. Dn''s gone. You''ve got nobody left. Enjoy rotting in prison for the rest of your life."
He barely finished speaking before ra acted. She plunged the ss forward.
Warm blood sttered across her cheek, and for a moment, her eyes looked empty-like she was somewhere far away.
Lucius''s face froze in a mask of shock and smugness, as if he couldn''t quite believe what had just happened.
Even the police hesitated, stunned. Then a gunshot echoed through the room.<fn7308> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? find?novel</fn7308>
ra''s arm was hit. She stumbled back, clutching her wound.
Outside, Uno heard the chaos and rushed in. The second he saw ra bleeding, he looked ready to fight.
ra forced a crooked half-smile. "Let it go."
Uno froze, confused. "What?"
Holding her bleeding arm, ra repeated quietly, "I said let it go. Uno,e here
I need you to do something for me.”
Uno stepped closer, his voice barely a whisper. "What is it?"
ra lowered hershes, whispering so only the two of them could hear, "Once
I''m gone with the police, find a way to take out the man behind me."
The man behind her was Justin.
Justin and Lucius had orchestrated Dn''s death. If they got away with it, ra would never forgive herself.
Uno was the only one who could pull this off-clean, swift, and invisible.
Uno''s eyes lowered as he nodded, then quietly asked, "What about you?"
ra just shook her head. She had no answer.
She walked toward the police, who watched her every move, tense and suspicious.
They only rxed enough to cuff her wrists before shoving her toward the waiting patrol car.
Back inside Palm Bay''s grand foyer,

Justin let out a wild, unhingedugh. "I can''t believe it! Lucius-what an idiot! He could''ve survived, but he just had to mess with a lunati Serves him rightie totally had iting!" s
It was like every grudge and frustration he''d bottled up over the years exploded all
at once. He felt invincible.
He was thest Ferguson standing.
Cheeks flushed, Justin turned on the
sobbing house staff, barking, "Get out! All of you! This is my house now Thirty minutes-if you''re still here, you''ll regret it!" s
The maids scrambled to grab their suitcases and fled. The house felt colder than ever-especially after ra killed a man right in front of the cops. No one dared stick around s
When the ce was finally empty, Justin strutted through the halls like a king surveying his new kingdom.
Not long ago, he''d never have dreamed he''d actually live in Palm Bay.
He wandered the master bedroom, grinning as he pictured himself in charge— calling the shots, finally in control.
But just then, a breeze slipped through the open window. In that split second, a bullet whistled silently through the gap.
Justin''s eyes went wide with shock. He stood frozen, then copsed, lifeless, to the floor.
He died never knowing who pulled the trigger.
Far off, Uno tucked his gun away, popped a candy into his mouth, and melted into the night.
ra''s revenge wasplete.
