The next day, Sophia awoke to find herself alone in the bed, clad in her cozy pajamas. Checking her phone, she noted it was 6:15 a.m. Stretching her arms, she got out of bed and ventured out of the bedroom in search of Ethan. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw him asleep on the sofa, his shirt absent and no blanket for cover.Sighing softly, she realized he had probably chosen the sofa to give her more space. She had fallen asleep before him and hadn't expected him to retire to the couch. Padding back into the bedroom, she picked up a warm blanket and returned to drape it gently over his exposed frame. Sitting beside him, she couldn't help but admire the contours of his muscular body, a light smile playing on her lips. Her hand found its way to his thick, curly hair, fingers delicately caressing each strand as if touching something fragile. For a moment, she lost herself in the intricate details of his handsome face— the slight furrow of his brows even in sleep, the way his li

Meanwhile, Ethan and Sophia arrived at the iconic London Eye, a towering Ferris wheel located on the South Bank of the River Thames. The atmosphere was bustling with tourists eager to take in the incredible panoramic views of London. As they drove up, the sight of the colossal wheel rotating slowly against the London skyline took their breath away.Parking the BMW M8 in a nearby lot, they joined the crowd moving towards the attraction. The air was filled with the murmur of excited conversations in multiple languages, all underpinned by the distant hum of city life. Vendors lined the walkways, selling everything from souvenirs to local snacks.Ethan looked at Sophia, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, and he felt a warm sense of satisfaction. This was exactly the kind of experience he wanted to share with her. "You know," he said softly, leaning closer to her, "this place is beautiful, but it pales in comparison to you."Sophia looked up at him and smiled, "You always know just wha

Soon, they arrived and stopped a few metres near the abandoned warehouse. Stealthily, one of Boss Lady's men, codenamed Falcon, approached the perimeter of the abandoned warehouse. Dressed in a black tactical suit he wore a pair of dark sunglasses equipped with a hidden camera. He approached the warehouse, pretending to be on his phone. (Please note, the names aren't the names of Boss lady men, due to her being a tactical planner, anytime they are going for a mission, she randomly gives them new names for the mission alone.) "Falcon here, in position for recon," he spoke quietly into his wireless earpiece."Proceed with caution, Falcon. We need to know their numbers and positions," Boss Lady instructed.Nodding to himself, Falcon walked near the warehouse and activated the hidden camera in his sunglasses. He subtly pointed his head in different directions to capture various angles. "I count ten men, all armed. Three near the entrance, four gathered around a table, and three near a

The assistant paused, recalibrating his thoughts. "Since they've already visited the London Eye, we could shift our focus to their next big destination. They are likely to attend a high-profile event or a renowned attraction. Let's say, The British Museum? It's a public place with numerous exits and entrances, making it difficult for security to cover all angles."Madam Northington raised an eyebrow. "Go on.""We could plant a small device that emits a gas, harmless to the general public but specifically formulated to incapacitate Ethan and Sophia based on what we know of their medical histories. We deploy the gas in a secluded exhibit where they'll be isolated.""And their security?""We'll cause a diversion at the opposite end of the museum, luring their security detail away. At the same time, we'll have a lookalike of a known associate approach them, adding another layer of misdirection.""We'll cause a diversion at the opposite end of the museum, luring their security detail away.

"You want my life?" Dera frowned. "Are you guys out of your senses? Do you want me to call the police?" She yelled. "Hey, you tried to go against our master when he warned you, it's in your destiny to meet your end, but lucky for you we've been asked to just injure you and leave you." The man replied. Dera gulped, her fear becoming more intense. She quickly took her phone out, about to dial the emergency number, but one of the men snatched it and threw it on the floor. "How dare you use your phone in front of us?" He yelled at her. "Do you wish for death?" The man asked coldly"Hey, do you know who I am? I'm Es…"Before she could finish her words, the man cut her off, "Yes you're Esquire Dera Brown, so what?" He askedDera frowned and angrily said, "Knowing me well, you're here to harm me? When I book a case, I'll make sure you all spend at least five years in jail."One of the men sneered, "Do you think jail terms work for our master?""Who's your master?" Dera retorted, eyebrows
