In that moment, it felt as though everything around me was collapsing. Without hesitation, he pulled the keys and the will away from me. A faint smile crossed his face—one that made it clear I meant nothing to him.
I simply nodded. And before I turned to walk away, I slipped something quietly into his coat pocket. No one noticed. No one suspected a thing. But when they eventually discovered it… it would already be too late.
