Kagami's POV

As the night wore on, I found myself lying beside Adrien in the hotel room, his presence so close yet distant. There was an undeniable tension between us, amplified by the knowledge of my betrayal of Luka. Desperation gnawed at my heart, compelling me to seek a moment of solace, a chance to mend the fractures in our relationship.

"Adrien," I whispered, my voice laced with remorse. "I need to talk to you. Please, just hear me out."

He turned towards me, his expression guarded and weary. "Kagami, I've already told you countless times that there's nothing to forgive. Let's not dwell on the past."

His words echoed in my ears, denying my plea for forgiveness. A pang of frustration surged through me, but I fought to keep my composure. I had to find a way to bridge the gap between us, to regain his trust.

"Alright," I relented, forcing a smile that masked the turmoil inside me. "Let's put that aside for now. How has your life been, Adrien? What have you been up to?"

His eyes lit up, a warmth seeping into his voice as he spoke. "You know, Kagami, there's someone who's been on my mind lately. Marinette. She's an incredible girl, and I can't help but admire her. She's talented, kind, and always there for me. I feel a deep connection with her."

His words struck me like a blow to the chest. Anger simmered within me, threatening to consume my composure. How could he speak so fondly of Marinette when he was lying here beside me? But I bit my tongue, masking my fury behind a facade of friendship.

"That's wonderful, Adrien," I replied, my voice laced with false cheerfulness. "I'm glad you have someone special like her in your life."

Inside, I seethed, my mind racing with thoughts of revenge. If Adrien couldn't see my worth, then maybe I needed to remind him. To remind Marinette. A plan formed in my mind, dark and devious, driven by a desperate desire to make them both feel the pain I had endured.

As midnight approached, and Adrien's gentle snores filled the room, I carefully reached for my phone. The dim glow illuminated my face as I snapped a selfie of the two of us, our night attire contrasting against the darkness. With a mischievous grin, I planted a kiss on Adrien's cheek, capturing the moment, frozen in time.

Posting the photo on social media, I tagged Adrien with a caption that dripped with possessiveness and longing. "My cutie, handsome, sexy & my forever love Adrien." The words were carefully chosen to provoke a reaction, to make Marinette question her feelings and stake her claim.

I knew the consequences of my actions would be far-reaching, but in that moment, fueled by anger and jealousy, I couldn't bring myself to care. I wanted Marinette to see the picture, to feel a fraction of the pain and insecurity that had plagued me.

As I lay back down beside Adrien, a twisted satisfaction welled within me. The night was far from over, and the repercussions of my actions would reverberate through the tangled web of our relationships.

Lila's POV

With a malicious grin, I eagerly dialed Kagami's number, eager to revel in the success of our plan. As the video chat connected, I could see her face, a mix of satisfaction and determination.

"Kagami, darling, you've done a fantastic job," I purred, my voice dripping with satisfaction. "That picture you posted on social media, it's going to cause quite a stir. Marinette won't know what hit her."

Chloe's voice chimed in from beside me, a gleeful tone resonating through the call. "Kagami! Our plan worked perfectly. Now we just have to wait and see when Marinette finally notices."

Kagami's eyes sparkled with a mix of wicked delight and anticipation. "Indeed, it was a brilliant move. And we mustn't forget to give credit where credit is due. Felix played his part flawlessly. He truly is the mastermind behind all of this."

Agreement echoed through the call as we praised Felix's cunning. It was his suggestion that had set this whole plan in motion, and we couldn't help but acknowledge his brilliance.

"Goodbye, my dears," I said, a sinister smile playing on my lips. "Now, let's sit back and watch the chaos unfold."

With a final wave, we ended the video call, leaving Kagami to her own devices. As she lay there, cuddling with Adrien, I couldn't help but relish in the chaos we had unleashed. The seeds of doubt had been planted, and it was only a matter of time before Marinette's world crumbled around her.

Oh, the sweet taste of victory.

Marinette's POV

The weight of the world pressed heavily on my shoulders as I walked along the desolate beach, seeking solace in the soothing sound of crashing waves. My heart felt heavy, burdened by the betrayal that had been thrust upon me. With each step, my mind replayed the image burned into my memory—the photo of Adrien and Kagami, locked in an intimate embrace, their nightclothes a stark reminder of their closeness.

Tears blurred my vision as I couldn't tear my gaze away from the screen of my phone. Lila and Chloe's comments mocking my pain only fueled the fire of anger and sadness within me. How could they revel in my misery? How could Adrien allow himself to be placed in such a compromising situation?

Anger swirled within me, my blood boiling with a mix of fury and heartbreak. Every ounce of trust I had placed in Adrien felt shattered, scattered like the seashells beneath my feet. I sank to my knees, the waves crashing around me, as I wept for the love I had lost.

Feeling utterly helpless and devastated, I questioned whether I could ever regain the pieces of my shattered heart. The world seemed to close in around me, the weight of the betrayal suffocating my spirit. I longed for a sign, a glimmer of hope to guide me through the darkness that had enveloped my world.

As I wiped away my tears, a figure emerged before me, shrouded in shadows. I blinked, unsure if my eyes were playing tricks on me. The figure stood tall and imposing, their presence commanding attention. My heart raced, a mixture of fear and curiosity coursing through my veins.

HEY GUYS! WHO CAN BE THAT FIGURE? CAN YOU TAKE A GUESS? MORE PLOT TWISTS COMING & PROBABLY A...I SHOULDN'T SAY IT. YOU GUYS CAN WAIT, CAN'T YOU? LOVE YA! ALRIGHT, GUYS, I GOT ONLY 1173 WORDS IN THIS CHAPTER. I KNOW IT'S LESS BUT THE NEXT CHAPTER WOULD BE WORTH WAITING FOR. TILL THEN, TAKE CARE! BYE!
