Lily's POV:
It was time to put on the best performance of my life. I had to play my cards perfectly if I wanted everything to fall into place. My plan was already in motion, but now I needed to add the final touch to ensure its success. After sneaking into Leila and Drake's room earlier, I had taken the bottle of scentless wolfbane I had mixed and carefully hidden it beneath Leila's underwear drawer. It was a small but crucial step towards ensuring her downfall. Every detail had to be perfect—no mistakes, no traces that could lead back to me.
With the first part of my plan in motion, I needed to move quickly to the next phase. I had to convince Nelly that something was terribly wrong, something only she could help prevent. Nelly was Leila's best friend, someone I couldn't afford to lose if my plan was to work.
