***Sophia pushed open the door to Adams’ room, her eyes scanning the space with nervousness. She had to find the black system, no matter what, or else Julius would certainly not be pleased with her. Her gaze swept across the room, taking in the messy bed, the scattered clothes, and the cluttered desk. She strode over to the desk, her heart racing with fear of being caught in the act. She began to search through the drawers, her fingers rifling through papers and pens, but finding nothing. She moved on to the bookshelf, scanning the titles, but none of them seemed out of place. She even lifted the mattress, checking for any hidden compartments. But as the minutes ticked by, Sophia's search yielded nothing. No black system, no hidden files, and no clues whatsoever. She stood in the center of the room, her hands on her hips, and a scowl on her face. Where was it? She knew Adams had it. She was sure of it. Julius wouldn't lie to her, right? She immediately rejected accepting to searc
**Julius's eyes blazed with a furry as he stumbled to his feet, Sophia's lifeless body still clutched in his arms. He cradled her for a moment, his mind reeling with grief and anger. Then, with a sudden movement, he laid her down on the floor, his eyes scanning the room wildly.“Adams,” he whispered, his voice trembling with rage. “This is all your fault.”He stumbled towards the closet, his hands shaking as he reached for the gun he kept hidden away. He grasped it tightly. “I'll kill you,” he muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the door. “I'll make you pay for what you've done.”With the gun clutched in his hand, Julius stumbled out of the room, his mind consumed by thoughts of vengeance. He made his way to his car, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.“Adams,” he whispered again, his voice dripping with malice. “You're going to pay for this.”As he drove through the night, Julius's anger only grew. He couldn't shake the image of Sophia's lifeless body from his mind, and he felt tha
**In the darkness, Julius felt hunted by his past. Memories he thought he'd long buried began to resurface, taunting him with their beauty and horror. He saw himself sitting on a sun-drenched beach, Elizabeth by his side. She gazed at him with adoring eyes, her smile radiant as she took his hand. “I am glad I'm slowly able to walk out of the shadows of my past. It's all thanks to you Julius,” she said, her voice like music. “I'm so proud of the man you're becoming.” The waves gently lapped at their feet as they watched the sunset, painting the sky with hues of gold and crimson. Julius felt like the luckiest man alive, with Elizabeth's love, he thought everything she had belonged to him and he had the world at his feet. But the scene shifted, like a twisted kaleidoscope. The beach disappeared, replaced by a dimly lit room, the air thick with tension. Elizabeth's eyes, once full of life, now widened in terror as Julius' hands closed around her throat. “Julius, stop! What have I done

Erica concentrated on her environment.Only a handful of people knew that she had combat training and the circumstances of how she got it. None of those people would let this fact leak, and she was confident that whoever had planned on having her beaten into submission was not aware of that.Part of that training was being taught how to detect the presence around her. She counted at least 20 pairs of unique footsteps walking out of the room she was in.Their steps were generally heavier than the leader's and she knew that the burly ones were all used to straightforward beating, unlike the leader's more creative and brutal ways of torture.She faintly remembered that there were at least 30 men who had entered the warehouse which meant that around 10 people had been left behind to guard her.Peeling her eyes open by the tiniest crack, she saw there was no one within her vicinity.They had left her lying on the floor, seemingly believing that she was truly unconscious. Although she was
"Mercy? What kind?" She pretended to ponder over the idea when in reality, her eyes were scanning the men advancing towards her.Just then, she realized the weird stance they were in and the expression they were trying to hide. Although it was barely noticeable, she saw some of the men's eyes flicker between her and the boxes that surrounded her.Was that why they were so wary? In the corner of her eye, she deduced that the lids on the crates were only placed haphazardly and that from where she was standing, she could easily reach out to get the contents."I'll have less of my men share you." While he answered her, he gestured to his men to spread out and approach her from all sides. Capturing a woman was usually easy, but this woman was unpredictable and slippery."Really? That's the best you got?" She asked and suddenly placed her hand into the crate.He panicked upon seeing that and screamed, "Grab her!"He was not aware whether she knew how to use a gun, but those crates were de
They were led by men holding bulletproof shields followed by the others who wielded a variety of weapons. Helicopters whirred in the air just as the entire warehouse was surrounded by cars, more armed men climbing out of it. The car headlights from outside had filtered inside the warehouse, as well as the helicopter light through the window on the roof. The sudden blast of light forced her to cover her eyes. Despite the chaotic sound of hundreds of footsteps coming from all directions, one pair of footsteps stood out in particular. This one was heavier than the others. She felt his overwhelming and authoritative presence before she saw his face. She felt her heart drum in anticipation of the familiar aura that was stalking closer and closer to her. She removed her hand and her heart skipped a beat when she saw him. Walking in his full glory, with long legs that seemed to stretch for miles, his suit jacket blowing in the wind, and hair swept to the side, was the man she had
