The bookstore was crammed, a hive of chattering customers. Elena gripped the spine of "The Unbroken Heart: A Memoir by Elena Rossi" so tightly that her knuckles were white. The book, seemingly her autobiography, was propped up on a prominent display. Her heart hammered in her chest, a frantic drumbeat against her ribs.

She marched over to a sales assistant, her voice tight, "This needs to be removed immediately." The assistant, unconcerned, just smiled and said it was a popular seller. Elena’s face flushed. The bookstore felt like a trap, and her own story, twisted and sold for profit, was the bait.
