Lucas stood by the window in his study, staring blankly outside. His heart was filled with an anxiety that grew more consuming each day. For a week now, he had been receiving anonymous messages threatening him and watching his every move. The messages came relentlessly, leaving him constantly uneasy and vigilant.“Watch every step you take, Lucas. I am watching.”The first message came via SMS, then through email, and occasionally, a note was slipped under his door. None of these messages were ignored; each one made him feel more and more threatened. His wife, Luna, had nearly been hit by a speeding car with no license plate. Fortunately, Luna only suffered minor injuries, but the incident left Lucas terrified. He couldn’t bear the thought of losing his loved ones due to these unknown threats.Lucas's study was filled with work files scattered across his desk. He sat in his chair, gripping a pen tightly. In front of him was a list of names of people who might hold a grudge against him

Lucas sat beside Luna’s bed, holding her hand tightly. Relief that Luna would be okay mixed with a boiling anger inside him after reading the threatening message. That’s when his phone rang again. Lucas quickly answered it, hoping it was good news from Joe.“Joe, any updates?” Lucas asked urgently.On the other end of the line, Joe sighed deeply. “Lucas, we couldn’t identify who sent the terror box. No fingerprints or other identifiable clues. But I’m taking the leftover food in the box to the lab. Maybe we can find DNA traces or origins of the food.”Lucas gripped the phone tightly. “Do whatever it takes, Joe. We need to find out who’s behind this. I can’t let these threats continue.”“Alright, Lucas. I’ll report back as soon as we have something,” Joe said before hanging up.Lucas took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. But before he could feel any real relief, his phone buzzed with a new message. He opened it, and his face immediately paled.[You think you can find me? Joe won

Lucas sat at the end of the large conference table, facing the projection screen that displayed complex graphs about the company's performance. Joe, who always accompanied him, sat beside him, monitoring the reactions of the meeting participants.In the midst of the serious presentation, Lucas's luxurious phone rang. The dark screen of the phone displayed a picture of Bianca, his ex-girlfriend, in a very private moment with him. Lucas felt his heart rate quicken as a threatening message came in.[You might want to watch over that fragile reputation of yours. I can tell Luna, you know.]Joe, sensitive to his boss's expression, noticed the tension on Lucas's face. He hummed quietly, trying to ease the tension."Is everything okay?"Lucas closed his eyes briefly, trying to calm himself. "Yes, it's nothing. Just an unimportant message from a vendor. Continue with the presentation, Joe."Joe nodded, although his concern was still evident. He knew something was wrong but didn't want to make

The door to the room opened, and a doctor walked in. "Sorry to interrupt, but we have good news. After the latest examination, Grandma Martha's condition has stabilized, and she can go home today," he said with a warm smile.Everyone in the room, including Maggie, looked relieved and happy. "Oh, thank you, Doctor. This is truly wonderful news," Maggie said, holding back tears of joy.Luna hugged Lucas tightly. "This is really great news. I'm so happy," she whispered.Lucas smiled but felt a bit awkward as the situation changed so quickly. "Yes, this is good news," he replied with a stiff smile.Due to the sudden excitement, the moment to give the necklace was postponed. Everyone was busy with hospital administration and preparing to bring Martha home.***Lucas and Luna finally had a moment to talk. "Luna, I want to continue something that was interrupted at the hospital earlier," Lucas said, taking the necklace box out of his pocket again.But just as he was about to speak, Luna's ph

The next day, Lucas woke up feeling calmer. He decided to call Luna again, this time intending to resolve their issues without emotional outbursts.“Luna?” Lucas called when the phone was answered. “I want to talk.”“Lucas, I want to talk too,” Luna replied in a calmer voice. “I'm sorry about yesterday. I should have left a clearer message.”“No, Luna. I should also apologize. I should have been easier to reach. We both can learn from this,” Lucas said, trying to soothe the situation.“I agree,” Luna said. “We need to communicate better. I don't want misunderstandings like this again. At least you need to be responsible for letting me know where you are,” Luna reprimanded.Lucas smiled, even though Luna couldn't see it. “When are you coming home?”“I'll be back as soon as I finish my business here.”“How about I come to your place right now? At least I can properly introduce myself to your family.”“Are you sure?” Luna hesitated on the other end.“Yes, I'll come over.”“Alright, I'll

After spending time with Bianca by the beach, Lucas felt relaxed. The cool sea breeze and the soothing sound of the waves calmed him.The taxi driver, a middle-aged man with a friendly smile, nodded as Lucas got into the taxi. They began their journey to the luxury hotel in the city center.However, shortly after they started moving, the taxi suddenly stopped with the engine dying in the middle of heavy traffic. Lucas sighed, slightly annoyed.“Sorry, sir. It seems the car broke down,” the driver said apologetically.Lucas nodded. “Try starting it again; it might work.” Lucas hoped it was still possible to continue the journey. The driver assured him he would do his best to get Lucas to his destination.Lucas nodded and took out his phone. “Try starting it again. I’ll call my colleague.” The driver tried several times without success. Meanwhile, Lucas dialed Joe’s number and waited for the call to connect.“Hello, Joe? It’s Lucas,” Lucas said when Joe answered the call.“Hey, Lucas. Y
