    Tania finally let out a relieved breath. She hurried downstairs to clean up, but when she saw that tiny bit of clear liquid with a faint blue glow, a sudden chill crawled up her spine.


    Without thinking, she grabbed a small ss bottle, scooped the liquid inside, and tucked it away.


    <i>What </i><i>is </i><i>this </i><i>stuff</i>? <i>How </i><i>could </i><i>something </i><i>like </i><i>that </i><i>drive </i><i>Shannon </i><i>into </i><i>such </i><i>a </i><i>frenzy</i><i>? </i>


    She shot a guilty nce toward Shannon’s closed bedroom door. Tania slipped the vial into her pocket and went back to cleaning as if nothing had happened.


    But she didn’t notice that the door to Kaleb’s room upstairs was cracked open. A pair of curious eyes had watched every move she made.


    BANG!


    Kaleb waited until she finished cleaning, then shoved his door open as loudly as he could. The loud noise. made Tania shudder.


    “M–Mr. Kaleb…”


    “Hmph.”


    Kaleb folded his arms, gave her a smug little snort, and strutted away. Still, his gaze flicked sharply toward her hands.


    Her palms were empty, but guilt still flickered across Tania’s face. She hid her hands behind her back and forced a shaky smile.


    Kaleb didn’t say anything else. He simply lifted his chin, strutted past her, and walked straight into Shannon’s bedroom.


    Tania’s heart pounded. She grabbed the half–full trash bag and rushed outside.


    Once she was far enough from the building, she tossed the trash into the dumpster and ducked behind a tree to make a call.


    Back in the house, Shannon stood by the window, staring down at her.


    “You’re sure about what you just said?” Shannon asked quietly.


    She didn’t look at Kaleb directly; she only watched him from the side.


    Kaleb stood stiffly. He wasn’t sure why, buttely, he felt nervous around his mom. She seemed different He didn’t dare cling to her like before. So when he saw Tania acting weird earlier, he had run to his mom right away.


    “It’s true! She looked sneaky. I knew something was wrong!” Kaleb nodded hard, desperate to earn back his mother’s attention.

    Shannon narrowed her eyes. Once she was sure he wasn’t lying, her gaze sharpened and locked onto Tanta below.


    Outside, Tania was still on the phone with Zane. A chill crawled up her spine, but she med it on guilt and kept talking.


    “Okay,” Zane said. “Keep it safe. I’lle get it tomorrow at this time.”


    “Alright!”


    The call ended. A secondter, her phone shed. It was a bank transfer of a hundred thousand dors. Her fear vanished instantly, reced by a bright grin.


    But when she turned around, her smile froze.


    Shannon stood at the floor–to–ceiling window, staring at her. No expression. No warmth. Just watching.


    Their eyes met. Shannon, who hadn’t smiled in days, lifted the corner of her mouth–just slightly–in a silentmand. “Come up. Now.”


    Tania’s whole body went cold. The icy feeling shot from her feet to her scalp. She felt nailed to the ground.


    <i>That </i><i>look </i><i>on </i><i>Shannon’s </i><i>face</i>. <i>Did </i><i>she </i><i>know</i>?


    Before she could think, Shannon stepped away from the window. Kaleb appeared in her ce, pulling the curtains shut. Before doing so, he shed a gleeful, mocking face down at Tania.


    Tania swayed. Her legs felt like jelly. Even with an elevator, the thought of going upstairs felt impossible.


    She bit down hard on her lip to steady herself.


    <i>No. </i><i>What </i><i>if </i><i>Shannon </i><i>just </i><i>want </i><i>me </i><i>to </i><i>go </i><i>upstairs</i><i>? </i>


    Tania dug her nails into her palm as she forced herself to stand straight. She sucked in a few steady breaths, trying to calm her nerves.


    <i>Right</i>, <i>I </i><i>hadn’t </i><i>slipped </i>up, <i>had </i><i>I</i>?


    No. Even if they really did find something out, she had to keep going. Zane hadn’t paid her the full amount yet, and she still needed to keep this job.


    With a tight knot in her chest, Tania dragged herself upstairs. But when she reached the hallway, the door was wide open.


    “Ma’am.”


    Shannon stepped out of the bedroom and sat down on the living room couch, arms crossed, staring straight at her.


    A chill shot through Tania, but she tried her best to keep her face calm.

    Before she could say anything, Shannon’s gaze dropped to Tania’s pocket. “My son said you picked <b>up </b>the medicine I dropped.”


    Her eyes narrowed, and she stood up from the couch.


    “Why would you take it?”


    Tania’s right hand twitched hard. She quickly grabbed it with her left, trying to stop the shaking.


    “I–I thought it would be easier to clean up, so I put it in a bottle,” she said, pushing the words out even though they made no sense. Her back grew damp with cold sweat.


    Shannon didn’t react at all.


    The silence stretched–heavy and sharp. Then Shannon bent down a little, looking her straight in the eyes. “You think I’m some fool you can trick?”


    Tania’s whole body trembled. This time, she couldn’t hold it together. Her knees gave out, and she copsed to the floor. Her mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out. Every word was stuck in her throat.


    Shannon grabbed her cor and yanked her upright. “Talk. What exactly were you nning to do with <i>it</i><i>?</i>”
