Mona paced back and forth in her room, her eyes darting to the window every now and then.
Her hands were clasped behind her back, her breathing uneven.
She couldn't shake the unease that had settled deep within her.
*What I have done... will it be enough?*
she thought, her lips tightening as her mind replayed her earlier conversation with Kimberly.
*If she takes the bait, this ends here and now. There's no way out for her this time.*
Stopping in front of her mirror, Mona stared at her reflection. Her face, usually composed and confident, showed cracks of tension.
She leaned forward, her voice barely above a whisper as she muttered to herself.
"If Kimberly falls into the trap, this will be the end of her.
I will make sure I personally oversee her elimination. No one will ever challenge me again."
