The showroom was packed, tension so thick it felt suffocating. Will, Poppy, R.J., Bill, Steffy, Ridge, and Eric stood gathered for what they believed was a quiet memorial announcement for Luna Nozzawa.
And then Electra walked in.
Her eyes were blazing. Her voice was shaking with fury.
She stepped to the center of the room, lifted her chin, and dropped the bomb that detonated the entire Forrester universe:
“Luna never died… she lied.”
Silence.
Then gasps.
Then chaos.
Will staggered back, his face collapsing in disbelief.
Poppy grabbed a chair to steady herself.
Bill’s jaw clenched with a fury he could barely contain.
R.J. crumbled, whispering, “No… she wouldn’t…”
Steffy let out a sharp breath, eyes wide with devastation.
Electra’s words tore through the room like a blade.
Every grieving moment, every tear shed — had been for nothing.
Because Luna hadn’t died at the cliff.
She had faked her death.
But Electra wasn’t done.
She revealed she had tracked Luna to an abandoned coastal cabin — a place steeped in fog, rot, and secrecy. Inside, she found Luna alive, trembling, gaunt, and drowning in guilt.
The confrontation was volcanic.
Electra screamed.
Luna sobbed.
The truth ripped out of her:
She didn’t fake her death to escape the law.
She faked her death to protect someone far more dangerous — someone watching her every step.
And in doing so, she destroyed the trust of the only people who ever loved her.
Back in the showroom, the moment Luna stepped through the doors — pale, shaking, her eyes full of guilt — the room erupted.
Will’s voice cracked with agony as he confronted her:
“Did you hear me? I mourned you!”
Luna broke down, whispering apologies no one wanted to hear.
But the drama wasn’t finished.
Because as the room swam in betrayal and fury, the lights flickered — and a slow, chilling presence crept from the entrance.
Marcus Hail.
The man Luna feared.
The man she vanished to escape.
The man whose threats had driven her to fake her own death.
He stepped forward, smiling with predator’s confidence, his voice a low growl:
“Did you really think you could hide from me, Luna?”
Gasps echoed.
Bill instinctively stepped in front of Will.
Steffy grabbed R.J.’s arm.
Poppy collapsed into Lee’s embrace, shaking.
Everything Luna tried to outrun had now walked straight into Forrester Creations.
And with Marcus’s arrival, the betrayal became secondary —
Because now everyone was in danger.
