David’s paranoia grew with each passing day, consumed by Emily’s quiet strength and unshakable determination. She occupied his thoughts relentlessly, leaving him unable to concentrate on his work. Every new detail he uncovered only deepened his unease. Questions flooded his mind: Who was she, truly? How did she command such influence among powerful individuals? The more he dwelled on her, the more glaring it became just how little he actually knew about the enigmatic woman.
