Andrei listened in silence as Nathan recounted the events of the previous night—the ambush, the struggle for survival, the betrayal that had led him to this moment of reckoning."They're coming for me, Andrei," Nathan's voice was a desperate plea. "I need to get out of the country, before it's too late."There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, the weight of Nathan's words hanging heavy in the air between them. Then, with a resolve born of brotherhood, Andrei spoke."I believe you, Nathan," his voice was steady, unwavering. "I'll do whatever it takes to help you."Relief flooded through Nathan like a tidal wave, washing away the doubts and fears that threatened to consume him. With Andrei at his side, he had a chance—a slim hope in the face of overwhelming odds."What do I need to do?" Nathan's voice was a whisper, edged with determination."Meet me at the old warehouse on the outskirts of town," Andrei's instructions were clear, concise. "I'll bring you a fake Roma

As the line fell silent once more, Nathan braced himself for what lay ahead, his heart heavy with the weight of their shared burden. In the darkness of his isolation, he clung to the fragile hope that somewhere, amidst the chaos and confusion, there remained a glimmer of light to guide them through the storm.Karina's voice trembled with emotion as she relayed the turmoil that had engulfed her life in Nathan's absence, the weight of her words hanging heavy in the air between them like a shroud of darkness."Nathan," she began, her voice thick with emotion. "I'm in the hospital. It's Alex... he's taken ownership of my company."Nathan's heart sank at her words, the fury rising within him like a tempest on the horizon. Anger burned hot and fierce in his chest as he listened to the injustice that had befallen her, the sense of helplessness gnawing at his soul like a ravenous beast."Karina, I'm so sorry," Nathan murmured, his voice heavy with regret. "I should've been there to protect yo

Yet, as she reflected on the turmoil that had defined her relationship with Alex, Karina knew that she had chosen the path of freedom, the path that honored her integrity and self-worth. The thought of surrendering to his manipulative schemes filled her with a sense of revulsion, a reminder of the strength that lay within her to defy the forces that sought to control her destiny.With a deep breath, Karina wiped away her tears, her resolve hardening with each passing moment. She refused to be defined by the setbacks she had faced, refused to allow the shadows of doubt to cloud her vision of the future. If anything, the challenges she faced only fueled her determination to rise above adversity, to emerge stronger and more resilient than ever before.As she contemplated the road ahead, Karina knew that the journey would not be easy, that the path to reclaiming her company would be fraught with obstacles and uncertainties. But she also knew that she was not alone, that she had allies who

Andrei's heart sank as he asked Andrew to give the phone to Nathan, Andrew handed him the phone, a heavy sense of foreboding settling over him like a suffocating shroud. With trembling fingers, he brought the phone to his ear, the weight of Nathan's fate hanging heavy on his shoulders."Nathan," Andrei's voice was thick with emotion, the words tumbling from his lips in a desperate rush. "Listen to me. I'm going to do everything in my power to get you out of this mess. But you need to understand, Andrew is... he's serious. He won't hesitate to do whatever it takes to get what he wants."There was a brief moment of silence on the other end of the line, the weight of Nathan's predicament hanging heavy in the air between them. And then, Nathan's voice crackled to life, thick with tension and uncertainty."I know, Andrei," Nathan replied, his voice tinged with resignation. "But I can't do it. I can't marry Andrew's daughter. Not with Karina..."Andrei's heart clenched at the mention of Kar

As the party was over, Andrew asked his men to take Nathan back into his cell. Nathan was led back into the cold, dark confines of his cell. The clang of the metal door reverberated through the empty chamber, sealing him within its unforgiving embrace.Alone in the dimly lit cell, Nathan's mind raced with a torrent of conflicting thoughts and emotions. The prospect of marrying Georgina, a woman he barely knew, loomed before him like an insurmountable mountain, casting a shadow of uncertainty over his future."Damn it," Nathan muttered under his breath, his voice tinged with frustration and apprehension. "What have I gotten myself into?"Why did I get myself mixed up with this Andrew guy in the first place, if I had known I wouldn’t have interfered with his conversation with Andrei the other day.With furrowed brow, Nathan wrestled with the gnawing uncertainty that gnawed at the edges of his consciousness.
