MONICAH'S POV
The past week had felt like a whirlwind. I sat in my office at the largest shopping mall in Utah, my mind reeling from the continuous barrage of troubling news. The hacking at Armand Inc., Whitney's tragic death, Armand's relationship with Eli, and Gregory Mark's malevolent schemes—it was all too much to process.
I wanted to be at Armand Inc., to see firsthand what was unfolding and to offer any help I could. But Brenda and Vikylou were adamant against it. They had strongly advised me to stay away, citing concerns for my safety and the potential complications of getting involved directly.
Their words echoed in my mind, and though I understood their reasoning, the frustration of being sidelined was overwhelming. I felt like I was standing on the sidelines while events beyond my control continued to spiral. The weight of the situation was heavy, and I was desperate to make a difference.
