Bethany successfully made it back to Savrow with the help of Ms. Gold. Like a criminal on the run, Bethany took shelter in a small house on the outskirts of the city. She stayed close in the neighborhood to buy daily essentials, never wandering off too far.

She could not opt for hotels and motels in case Justin's people would catch her the moment she showed up in the city.

Living in hiding only fueled Bethany's resentment. She was eager to get revenge and change her current circumstances.

That night, Bethany invited Zoe to meet at a quiet cafe in the suburbs.

Getting her order of coffee, Zoe took one whiff and pushed the cup away in disgust.

"What is this? Pee? Is this drinkable?"

Bethany drank without any qualms. "It's Luwak coffee."

"Yeah, right. I can tell if it's Luwak. This is just shit." Zoe took digs. "Ha. You're different, for sure, Ms. Salvador. You can even consume something so vile. You sure adapt well."

"It's interesting to experience the life of a commoner." Bethany took another sip with a blank face.

When Zoe's phone rang, she got up and took the call outside.

Hiding malice in her eyes, Bethany broke the skin of her finger with a bite and dropped her blood, which was tainted with HIV, into Zoe's coffee.

She stirred the coffee with a spoon and laughed to herself menacingly.
