The glittering party in Nice abruptly transforms into a fight for survival, where every secret, plot, and loyalty is tested to its absolute limit. Unicorn Castle, once a symbol of Newman power, has become a deadly trap.
Chilling Premonitions & Warnings from the Past!
From the moment she arrived, Abby Newman felt uneasy. Strange glances from waiters, curious eyes from international guests—all signaled she was being watched. Suddenly, Dumas appeared behind her, pulling her into a dark corner and whispering memories of a secret Newman family event that Abby thought only Victor knew. Fear and curiosity mixed within her: Who was Dumas to know her family’s past so intimately?
Not missing a beat, Victor Newman discreetly ordered his confidant, Michael Baldwin, to monitor Dumas and double-check the castle’s security. Victor never expected to be so vigilant at an event he personally controlled. Unusual signs, from Dominic’s sudden illness to Chance Chancellor’s puzzling appearance, prompted Victor to plant a recording device in Dumas’s makeshift office, hoping to gather concrete evidence.
Meanwhile, Michael and Lauren discovered a forged property transfer contract with the initials “AD,” linked to Colin Atkinson—a former rival of Victor’s. This perplexed Devon Winters, who recalled Colin mentioning this very document recently. Clues piled up, yet grew vaguer, pointing to a multi-layered Dumas, potentially connected to a secret European power group holding grudges against both the Newmans and Abbotts.
Chance’s Urgent Warning & A Terrifying Threat to Dominic!
Back in the crowd, Abby unexpectedly encountered Chance Chancellor amidst the luxurious setting. Old memories flooded back: years together, arguments and reconciliations, Dominic’s birth, and their tearful separation. But tonight, Chance appeared not as an old friend, but with a strange expression, cold eyes, hinting at a much bigger secret. He discreetly handed Abby a small note with a single warning: “Don’t trust anyone here. Don’t be alone with Dumas.” The message left Abby even more confused: Why was Chance here? Who invited him? And what did he know about Dumas that she didn’t?
Simultaneously, Devon kept receiving strange calls from an anonymous number. He initially dismissed them as pranks, but when the voice on the other end mentioned Dominic’s name and threatened to leave the festival before it was too late, Devon couldn’t stay silent. He decided to enlist Lauren and Michael’s help to trace the call, while also discussing with Victor the possibility of a force targeting Abby and Dominic, perhaps revenge from an old enemy seeking to blackmail or destroy the Winters-Newman family. The castle’s atmosphere gradually shifted from bustling to intensely tense.
A Generational Revenge Plot & The Deadly Trap Springs Shut!
Jack Abbott, after a brief conversation with Nikki Newman, secretly met with Abby. He told her about a mysterious man who appeared in Genoa City years ago, whose background matched Dumas’s, and who had even followed Jack for a long time. That story terrified Abby, making her realize this wasn’t just a festival or a power struggle, but potentially a series of vengeful acts, unearthing old tragedies of the Newman and Abbott generations.
Dumas continued to sow seeds of suspicion, quietly approaching each important guest. His every word was like a sharp knife, both alluring and warning, making everyone realize he was not merely a market competitor, but a master of psychological manipulation and the past.
As the night deepened, a sudden storm hit. Lightning flashed brightly outside the castle, and the electrical system wavered. All secret passages inside the castle were locked without anyone knowing why. An increasing number of guests felt trapped, unable to contact the outside world.
In the darkness, Abby overheard a secret conversation between Dumas and an unrecognized woman. Their whispers revealed a plan involving “the ultimate evidence” and “the biggest deal in Newman history.” Abby was horrified to realize she held a vital secret, not only for herself but for her entire family.
Meanwhile, on another floor, Victor suddenly received a coded message: “Warning, someone inside wants to destroy Newman from the roots.” Victor had never lowered his guard, but this time he clearly sensed a danger beyond any business battle—a carefully orchestrated, even insidious plot from within.
He summoned Michael, Lauren, Jack, Nikki, and Devon into a small apartment, urging them to keep their discoveries confidential, while also devising a plan to protect Abby and Dominic should the worst happen during the night.
Abby Vanishes – The Ultimate Shock!
In the center of the hall, bells chimed, signaling the most important part of the festivities—the announcement of Dumas’s true identity. But before the announcement could begin, the lights suddenly went out, the bells rang out chaotically, and a loud crash echoed as if someone had fallen.
When the lights came back on, everyone was shocked to realize: ABBY WAS NO LONGER THERE! A small piece of cactus fabric lay at the foot of the stairs next to her phone. The screen showed the last missed call from Chance Chancellor. A cry of confusion and anxiety spread throughout the castle.
Victor coldly ordered all doors to be closed, every corner checked, but at the same time, he knew the game had truly begun. The hidden aggressor not only wanted to attack Newman but also to send a message: no one was safe, not even the most protected. Jack whispered to Nikki, “This is not just a party. This is a trap.” Lauren clutched Michael’s hand, fearing for the safety of those she loved. Devon, whose heart was with Dominic and Abby, was restless. He rushed into a new battle, oblivious to what lay ahead.
The entire Unicorn Castle turned into a deadly maze where every character was caught in a whirlwind of power, revenge, secrets, and family. Abby’s disappearance was a chilling warning: anyone, be it Newman, Abbott, Winters, or Chancellor, could be next. The true identity of Dumas remained the biggest mystery, threatening to sweep away the foundations of two of America’s most powerful families. The night in Nice, envisioned as Newman’s crowning glory, became the starting point for a tragedy no one could have foreseen.
