Zadruga 3 Live (VALIDATED вњ“)

The house went silent. Even Kosta forgot his coffee.

Mila sat on the edge of her bed, clutching a letter she’d hidden for three weeks. It wasn’t part of the script. The producers didn’t know about it. The letter was from her younger brother, Filip, written before he went into surgery. “If you’re watching this, sestro, I’m okay. But I need you to win. Not for the money.
