Cassie’s reaction
Her strong front faltered for the first time, and she lashed out, accusing me of being desperate and delusional. ‘You’ve always been jealous of me,’ she said, her voice rising. ‘This is pathetic, even for you.’ Her words stung, but I held my ground. ‘The truth will come out,’ I stated firmly. Her eyes filled with rage as she realized she had been cornered. The tension between us was tangible, and I knew it was only the beginning.

Ultimatum
I threatened to reveal everything if she didn’t come clean to my brother. ‘You’ve got one final chance, Cassie,’ I murmured, my voice steady. ‘Tell him the truth or I will.’ She looked at me, her eyes full of venom and defiance. “You’re making a big mistake,” she snarled, but I remained strong. The room was filled with tension as we looked one other down, neither of us prepared to back down.
