No matter what, Nolan would always put Eliza’s safety first.

Everything he wanted to say was written on his face.

Eliza wasn’t trying to stay angry with him. Tugging on his sleeve, she said quietly, “Don’t do that again.”

“Next time, I will.”

He knew she wouldn’t like the answer, but he refused to lie. Her safety mattered more than anything else. As long as she was safe, nothing else about himself mattered.

Before Eliza could respond, a sudden commotion erupted from the banquet hall.

They turned back and re–entered, only to see a masked woman on stage, dressed in a flowing black gauze gown, like a black lotus in full bloom.

Even with the veil, she radiated a beauty that made people wonder just what face was hidden beneath.

Her eyes alone were enough to ensnare–deep, glimmering, and laced with a hypnotic allure. Even Eliza had to admit, this woman must be stunning.

But there was something else–Eliza felt those eyes were fixed on her.

They were familiar.

Had she seen them before?

She searched her memory, running through every beautiful woman she knew, but came up empty.

By the time she tried to pin it down, the woman’s dance had ended. Nearly every man in the room looked spellbound as she slipped away from the stage.

Eliza quickly pulled out her phone and searched through Wendigo Corp’s roster of artists. No one resembled the mysterious performer. Was this one of Wendy’s soon–to–be–launched stars?

As she thought it over, voices around her began to gossip.

“They say she’s Wendigo Corp’s latest recruit. Just debuted, hasn’t achieved much yet, but her price is already through the roof. Big brands are lining up for her. I hear Wendigo Corp is planning a major push to make her huge. No idea where she came from.”

Another added, “Word is Ms. Wendy trained her personally. A real femme fatale–she’s going to dominate this country soon.”

Eliza’s suspicions only deepened. That gaze… she was sure she’d seen it somewhere before. She turned to Nolan. “When we get back, dig into her background. If Wendy plans to make her famous, she’ll flood the internet with content. She can’t hide behind a veil forever.”

Nolan took out his phone and, after a quick search, found the performer’s profile. It was brief, but included a retouched publicity photo.

“Here.”

Most of Wendigo Corp’s current stars had been poached from Soren’s company. This woman was different–she wasn’t one of Soren’s. She must have been trained in secret by Wendy. The company’s homepage had her front and center, making it clear that even the wildly popular girl group was meant to play supporting roles to her.

Eliza studied the photo. The woman’s face was top–tier, her features in perfect proportion, her figure impeccable.

But the familiarity nagged at her.

:

She covered the woman’s mouth in the photo with her hand. The moment she did, the eyes looked almost exactly like Naomi’s.

The size of the eyes was slightly different, the eyelids shaped differently— but Eliza would never mistake that gaze.

She immediately dialed Matteo.

He answered quickly, and Eliza got straight to the point. “Matteo, is Naomi at home lately?”

“No.”

“Where did she go?”

Nathaniel had been keeping Naomi at home for her pregnancy, forbidding her to go out. How could she not be there?

“She’s been gone for several days. Nathaniel didn’t stop her and didn’t tell me anything. Even Naomi’s mother is missing–probably… taken care of.”

Matteo’s tone made it clear he didn’t care about the fate of either woman. Whether Naomi had run into trouble was none of his concern.

Hearing this, Eliza felt her suspicion harden into certainty.

The woman she’d just seen was almost certainly Naomi–after plastic

surgery.

But… wasn’t Naomi supposed to be pregnant?
