Chapter 11: The Serpent's Embrace
"You want to know how far I'm involved?" Elena's voice rang out with a cold edge on the other end of the line, cutting through Raka's still-labored breathing. The night at the gala felt like a distant memory, even though it had only been a few hours. Nausea and anger still churned in his chest, mixing the scent of champagne with despair.Raka gripped his phone, his knuckles turning white. "No, I want to know why you lied to me. Why you let Bianca become a victim, claiming it was a 'business case' when it was all a filthy lie!" His voice trembled more than he wanted it to. He hated how Elena always managed to make him lose control."Listen, Raka," Elena answered, her voice remaining calm, like a frozen lake, "you heard what Bianca said.

Chapter 13: Echoes of the Past
"You were never really okay, were you?" Raka's voice slid out like a cold accusation, piercing Mrs. Anya's heart through the tense phone line. He heard a held breath on the other end, a silence heavier than anything that could be said. Days had passed since Darma's gaze had lingered on his back at the gallery, leaving Raka with a constant residue of panic, but the gnawing guilt over Anya was far more painful. He remembered Bianca's pale face, the bitter words that poisoned the gala, and how it all started with Anya's case."Raka?" Mrs. Anya's voice sounded hoarse, surprised. "What's wrong? Are you alright?" The genuine concern in her tone made Raka's stomach clench. How could I deceive her again?"No, I'm not alright," Raka answered honestly, though he knew it wasn't what he should be saying. "And I know you aren't either. I want to see you. I have to."
