(Outside the Wayne mansion)
Camile stumbled as she was dragged out of the Wayne mansion, her heels scraping against the stone steps.
"Let go of me!" she cried, her voice hoarse and broken. "You have no right…!"
The iron gates slammed shut behind her with a deafening clang.
Silence followed, as she felt something inside her snap. Was it from losing control? Or failing to achieve her goal? She had no answer.
The guards released her and stepped back without another glance, as if she were no longer worth their attention.
Camile's hands tightened by her side, and sweat dripped down her temples. Her shoulders shook violently, sobbing. Tears streamed down her face, soaking into the front of her dress.
For a full minute, she cried like a woman who had lost everything… Perhaps she did, Alexander Wayne would never see her in the same way as before, and she was not able to collect the funds she had promised the leader of the Severance cult.
