Christopher's words cut through Vivian like a knife. She stood there, her face a mix of hurt, disbelief, and determination, refusing to back down.
"You are just going to abandon everything we have been through? Our mission, the truth, all because of your blind devotion to Britney?" Vivian's voice trembled with anger and disappointment.
She strained to keep her cool, her hands balled into fists at her sides. She refused to accept defeat so easily.
Christopher's gaze hardened, and his jaw clenched tightly as he stared back at Vivian.
"The mission no longer exists," he hissed. "Go home. It's for your own safety."
Vivian's eyes welled up with tears. "You think I'm just going to run away? That I'll abandon everything we've fought for? This mission is bigger than both of us, Chris. I won't leave."
