Confusion clouded Camila's thoughts.

Release him?

The implications were unclear.

In time, the full context came to light. Kameron's family's eagerness to settle wasn't born from a change of heart but from a situation beyond their control- Tyrese had been detained.

Disappointment settled in Camila's stomach.

They had failed to see her side of the story.

She paused, inhaled deeply, and prepared herself to navigate the conversation.

Though the other party wasn't really willing to forgive her, it was imperative to resolve matters promptly.

Seizing a moment, she excused herself to the restroom and took that opportunity to update Isaac.

The moment the call connected, Camila didn't hesitate. "Is this a setup for Tyrese from you?"

Isaac's voice came through, calm and measured. "Actually, it's not a trap. I just want him to experience the sting of injustice."

Camila clutched the phone a bit tighter. "I appreciate your concern.”

Isaac's next question carried a hint of teasing. “Why the formality with your own husband?"

Camila's voice was a soft murmur. “You're swamped with your own affairs yet here you are, looking out for me."

Isaac's reply was a low rumble. "Mila, now that Robin has gone, you're the closest one to me."

Camila could almost feel his words wrapping around her heart. "I'm aware," she whispered back.

"And Kameron's family? Are they cooperative?"

"They've agreed to drop the case once I agree to let the police release Tyrese," she confirmed.

"Understood."

With the conversation over, Camila examined her reflection, practicing a poised smile.
