Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Liliana, though disheartened by this critique of Sabrina, maintained her composure and continued to smile. “In that case, I’ll
arrange for a different photographer for you. Let me check who is available right now.”
“Okay, I understand,” Keilani replied.
After concluding the call, Liliana looked up at Sabrina and said, “Well, you can head back and await tomorrow’s schedule.”
“Thank you,” Sabrina acknowledged, leaving ahead of schedule.
On her way home, Sabrina’s phone rang, and she saw it was a call from Liliana.
“Hello? Liliana? What’s the matter?” Sabrina inquired.
“Come back. I need to have a word with you.” Liliana’s voice on the phone carried a serious tone, causing Sabrina to feel a
sense of unease.
“Okay, I’ll be right over,” Sabrina responded, her return now obligatory.
Upon reentering Liliana’s office, Sabrina came to a sudden halt.
In addition to Liliana, there was Keilani, her attendant, and another photographer named Evan present.
As Sabrina’s eyes scanned the trio, Keilani offered a faint, mocking smile.
As Sabrina stood in confusion, her gaze shifted to Liliana, seeking an explanation, “Liliana, why did you ask me to come back?”
she inquired.

Before Liliana could respond, Keilani sneered, accusing Sabrina, “Don’t pretend to be clueless. You stole my necklace. Hand it
over!”
In that instant, Sabrina comprehended that Keilani was playing games.
She hadn’t even seen Keilani’s necklace, let alone stolen it. How could she have stolen it?
“You accuse me of stealing your necklace? Do you have any evidence?”
Sabrina stared at Keilani with intense determination.
“There’s a witness,” Keilani asserted, nodding at her attendant.
The attendant promptly stepped forward, claiming, “Her necklace was in her handbag, and you’re the only one, besides me, who
could have touched that bag. If it wasn’t you, then who else could have taken it?”
“Maybe you stole it,” Sabrina countered with a sly smile. “I noticed you sneaking around earlier. It seems you’re hiding
something.
Perhaps you stole the necklace and are trying to pin it on me.”
“You... Nonsense...” Keilani stammered, caught off guard by Sabrina’s words.
Liliana, astute to the dynamics at play, refrained from exposing Keilani directly. She assessed the situation and proposed,
“Keilani, determining the culprit is tricky. How about we review the surveillance footage?”
However, Keilani pointed at Sabrina and insisted, “Liliana, I trust Anne. She wouldn’t steal my necklace. It has to be Sabrina. I
want to search her!”
