Even in the upscale neighborhoods where the wealthy reside, it''s rare to see anymotion. But today was different. Liz had already called her friend Ynda, and as she stepped out of her mansion, she immediately spotted Ynda pushing her way to the front of the crowd behind the police tape.


    Liz hurried over, and by the time Ray had pulled up in his car, she was already sitting shotgun in Ynda''s ride. Ray had no choice but to follow behind.


    "Looks like we can''t shake off this tail," Ynda remarked with a smirk, ncing at the car trailing us through her rearview mirror.


    If it weren''t for Liz being pregnant, Ynda would''ve been tempted to put her foot down and see if Ray could keep up. But with Liz''s condition, that was off the table.


    "Let him be," Liz said, her voice detached. She had filled Ynda in on everything that had happenedst night over the phone.


    Ynda peered at Liz, concern creasing her brow. "What''s up? The cops taking their sweet time with something? I was hoping to catch the show of that witch being hauled away."


    "Luna''s dead," Liz dropped the bombshell.


    Ynda mmed on the brakes. "What? Dead?"


    "Yeah, she went to change her clothes, ended up injecting herself with something, and even left a note."


    Ynda took a moment to process this, then mmed her hand against the steering wheel. "Serves her right! But seriously, were those cops just there for decoration? They let her off too easy!" Liz couldn''t help but chuckle at Ynda''s outburst.


    "What''s so funny?" Ynda nced at her friend.


    "Nothing, it''s just... I feel better hearing you say that," Liz admitted.


    She had been feeling guilty, wondering if she was being too heartless. But suicide as a way to dodge punishment didn''t sit right with her. Luna had brought her fate upon herself.


    "So, Ste had nothing to do with it?" Ynda asked as she resumed driving.


    Liz pursed her lips. "Who knows? Luna was adamant it was all her doing. And now with her gone, that''s probably where it''ll stay."


    Ynda hoped for Ste''s sake she was innocent because living with that kind of guilt would be a nightmare.

    brightened. "Let''s drop this grim talk. I booked us a cool spot at Lakeside Cafe to celebrate your newfound freedom. Let''s make it a night to remember!"


    Soon, they arrived at the cafe. Ynda held the door for Liz, who was greeted with a burst of confetti as she entered.


    "Surprise!" The room was decked out with balloons and flowers, with a shy sign proiming "Liz''s Fab Divorce Bash!"


    Among the familiar faces were Hogan and Hamilton Madden, ready with more confetti.


    Liz shot Ynda a bewildered look.


    "What''s going on?" they silentlymunicated.


    Ynda winked and gestured for Ray to stay back, then slowly closed the door behind them, kicking off what promised to be an

    unforgettable celebration.
