Declan texted, “Alright.
I give you my word.
”

“Be there at 3 PM.
No excuses.
”
Eliana’s face hadn’t yet resumed its normal composure when she heard footsteps behind her.
“Eliana, have you seen my phone?”
Instinctively, Eliana hid the phone behind her back and feigned ignorance.
“Oh, your phone’s missing?”
A frown marred Declan’s face.
He looked somewhat irritated.

Holding back her anxiety, Eliana cautiously suggested, “Maybe you left it in the tea room.
You should go check.
”
Declan, sensing something amiss but not wanting to question Eliana’s intentions, walked back to the tea room.
As he retreated, Eliana swiftly retrieved the phone and deleted all the recent texts.
Noticing that the chat history reverted to a few days prior, Eliana sighed in relief, her eyes filled with smug satisfaction.
Her eyes fixated on the name “Hannah” at the top of the chat.
Her resentment intensified.
How dared this woman try to ensnare Declan? She must be delusional!

Hannah had been waiting at the courthouse for a while.
Glancing at her phone, she saw it was already 3:20, and still, no sign of Declan.
Growing impatient, she took out her phone and dialed Declan’s number.
Silence.
No one picked up.
Annoyed, she texted him, “Where are you?”
“Don’t waste my time.
”
“How much Longer will you be? I need a straight answer.
I can’t wait around forever.
