7. THE CONFESSION

Once sat across from Advocate Carat in her office, the tension in the air palpable as she prepared to deliver her news. “I met with Blink yesterday,” she began, her voice steady. “We’re on good terms, and she’s agreed to reveal herself by Monday.”

Carat’s expression shifted from skepticism to relief. “That’s excellent news, Once. It seems everything is falling into place.”

Once nodded, a small sense of pride swelling within her. “I believe this will resolve everything regarding my father’s will.”

Carat smiled, taking a sip of the coffee that Midzy had just served. “I’m glad to hear it. This should make things much easier for everyone involved.”

“Thank you for your understanding, Advocate Carat,” Once replied, watching as he finished his coffee and stood to leave.

“Let’s touch base again on Monday. I’ll look forward to your update,” Carat said, exiting the office with a wave.

Once turned to Midzy, who had been quietly observing. “What’s on the schedule for today?” she asked.

Midzy flipped through her notes. “You need to review some documents regarding the company’s finances.”

“Alright, let’s get started,” Once replied, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Later that night, Once and Reveluv met with Stay in a dimly lit café. Stay slid into the booth with a stack of papers. “I gathered everything I could about Blink,” he said, laying the documents on the table.

“Good work,” Once said, leaning closer to examine the information.

“Now we need to see Atiny about the duplicate ID,” Reveluv added, her eyes bright with determination.

Once nodded, and the trio headed to Atiny’s workshop, a hidden gem in the bustling city known for creating high-quality fake IDs.

Atiny looked up as they entered, his expression unreadable. “What can I do for you?” he asked, folding his arms.

“We need a duplicate ID,” Stay stated, taking charge. “And we need it fast.”

Atiny raised an eyebrow. “It’ll take a couple of days, maybe more. Quality work takes time.”

Worry flickered across Once and Reveluv’s faces, but Stay leaned forward. “Can you make it quicker?”

Atiny glanced at Once, sizing her up. “You gotta pay more for that,” he said, a smirk playing on his lips.

Reveluv wasted no time. She reached into her bag, pulling out a stack of cash and slamming it on the desk. “How about this?”

Atiny picked up the cash, sniffing it as if to verify its authenticity. “Okay, just two days,” he said, setting the money aside.

“Can you deliver it by Monday morning?” Once pressed, her tone firm.

Atiny nodded. “Yes, I can manage that.”

With their task completed, the three left the workshop. As they stepped outside, Stay bid them farewell, heading off to his own plans. Once and Reveluv decided to take a walk, needing a moment to breathe after the hectic day.

The night air was crisp, and a gentle breeze stirred around them, creating an unexpectedly romantic atmosphere. As they walked, Reveluv turned to Once, her heart racing. This was the moment she had been waiting for.

“Can I ask you something?” Reveluv said, her voice softer than usual.

“Sure,” Once replied, glancing at her with curiosity.

As they stood near the rail, looking out at the glittering city lights, Reveluv made her move. She reached out, her hand brushing against Once's arm. Once felt a jolt of electricity at the contact, her mind racing with confusion over the unfamiliar sensation.

Before she knew it, Reveluv leaned in and kissed her, a quick yet electrifying moment. Shock coursed through Once as Reveluv pulled back, her cheeks flushed.

“I’m sorry!” Reveluv exclaimed, her voice a mix of embarrassment and vulnerability. “Onceu, I love you—”

Once stammered, “But…” Her mind scrambled for the right words, confusion swirling within her.

“Please,” Reveluv said gently, stopping her mid-sentence. “Take your time. I can wait.”

Once looked into Reveluv’s eyes, a mixture of surprise and warmth flooding her chest. She had never expected this moment, yet somehow, it felt right.
