Yana's POV

[Five days ]

It was evening time and I walked with a straight face into the strangely vacant restaurant, my mind racing through everything I had done this week.

I clutched the pendrive I had found in my father's room, his letter replaying in my mind. I had almost been caught, but somehow, I managed to keep it safe.

What I'm doing is messed up, and I know I'll face the consequences. Yet, despite everything, I can't stop myself. My mother's life is at stake, but I've chosen my path and I won't back down.

I saw him sitting near the pool area, looking devastated. His disheveled state and messy hair showed how nervous he was and a smile came on my lips. I took careful, calculated steps toward him.
