~Belinda's POV
I stormed back to my room, slamming the heavy door behind me. My fists were still trembling from rage. How dare Lisa make me look weak? How dare she bring the triplets' attention away from me? My nails dug into my palms as I paced back and forth, each step heavier than the last.
A knock at the door made me pause.
"Enter," I called sharply.
The door opened slowly, and Dolph stepped in. He bowed quickly, his eyes wary.
"Luna Belinda," he said quietly. "Did you summon me?"
"Yes," I snapped, my voice cold. "It's time. Tell me… are you ready?"
Dolph swallowed. "Are you… Are you ordering the strike now?"
I fixed him with a glare that could burn through stone. "Yes. Lisa. She must die. No mercy. No hesitation. I want her gone before anyone notices anything. Do you understand?"
He bowed low. "Yes, Ma'am. As you command."
I gave a small nod, my heart racing with a mix of fury and anticipation. "Go. And don't fail me."
