🔒 This chapter is locked · 20 Quills

Lam Hy once believed the most frightening thing in life was losing everything. Her job. Her reputation. Seven years of her youth exchanged for three cardboard boxes and a cold dismissal letter. But she was mistaken. The most frightening thing... was meeting someone she was never meant to see. A man emerged from the basement shadows at three in the morning— his hands smeared with blood, his face calm, as if nothing needed explaining. And he knew her name. From that moment, everything started drifting off course. The next day, an email arrived from Ky Nguyen Group. The man in charge—Tran Da Kham. The man from the elevator. The man who had told her: "Next time, don't ask about things you don't want answers to." But Lam Hy was not someone who turned back. She asked. She looked. And she walked into a story where every answer had to be paid for with something. Love. The truth. Or herself. Some people, when they look away... it isn't because they don't know. It's because they're waiting for you to come closer.
