Chapter 24 A Web Of Deceit

• Isabelle's mind raced with questions as she stood frozen, surrounded by the opulent decorations and the hum of conversation. Damien's words hung in the air, a challenge to everything she thought she knew about Liam. She felt like a pawn in a game she didn't understand, with players who seemed to be hiding secrets behind their smiles.
• As she followed Ethan into the unknown, the silence between them was thick with tension. Isabelle's heart raced with anticipation, her mind racing with questions. What secrets was Ethan hiding? And what truth was he about to reveal?
