Behind her, Nina's voice rang out, sharp and urgent. "Daniela! She killed Linden!" At those words, a faint smile ghosted across Daniela's lips as she fixed her gaze on Natalie.
Natalie's grip on the dagger tightened, her expression darkening. "What the hell are you smiling at?” Daniela spoke in a slow, measured tone, her composure unnerving. "Do you even realize where you're standing right now?" Natalie instinctively looked down, uncertainty flickering across her face.

Everyone who had played a role in her death would pay their due price.
