Ray was about to assault Lisa when suddenly his phone rang. He paused, withdrawing from her, and answered the call. Lisa lay there sobbing, too terrified to move.“Okay, I’ll be there soon,” Ray said into the phone. “Thanks,” he added, then ended the call.He shot Lisa one last cold look and walked out of the room. Lisa heard the door lock behind him. A few minutes later, she heard the sound of a car driving away.Desperately, Lisa got up and rushed to the door, pounding on it with all her strength, but it didn’t even budge. Her tears flowed freely as she sank to the floor, feeling overwhelmed with guilt and self-blame for trusting so easilyAs she sat on the floor, her mind raced with thoughts of Jessica. She wondered if her friend was okay. The image of Jessica lying unconscious in the parking lot haunted her. Guilt and worry gripped her heart. She wished she had been able to stay with Jessica, to make sure she was safe. Now, all Lisa could do was hope that Jessica had received help
Anna wrapped her arms around Mello and held him tightly. "She's going to be fine, Mello. It wasn't your fault," she said, her voice soothing as she shared in his pain.Mello sniffled, his voice filled with regret. "It’s always been my fault. She was happy without me all these months. Now, all I’m bringing her is pain. I don’t know...""Shhh, stop being so harsh on yourself," Anna said gently.Anna looked at Mello with determination. “She’ll be seen before dawn. She’ll be here dancing in your arms,” she assured him.Just then, Kelan rushed in with security personnel. Anna quickly disengaged from Mello and turned to them.Before Mello could say anything, Anna spoke urgently, “Have you seen her? Is she safe? Is she outside? Please, bring her here.”Kelan breathed hard before responding. “We haven’t found her yet, but we did manage to capture one of the men who came with Ray. He’s in our custody.”At the mention of this, Mello jumped up. “Take me to him.”Anna tried to follow, but Mello s
soon Morning came, but Mello hadn’t slept. Every time he tried, he’d wake up from a different nightmare about Lisa. His mind replayed dark scenes of her in danger, helpless and scared, and he couldn't shake them off.The room was cool, but he felt unbearably hot, his skin clammy with sweat. His thoughts raced, and his chest felt tight. All he wanted was for Lisa to be safe, and the thought of not knowing where she was or what was happening to her was driving him to the edge.Mello rubbed his head gently, trying to ease the pounding ache. The bright light in the room made him squint as he looked around. The morning sun streamed in through the slightly open window, casting warm rays across the floor. He realized he had fallen asleep in the living room. Slowly getting up, he glanced around, disoriented. The weight of everything that had happened yesterday hung heavy on him. The room felt empty and too quiet, the silence only amplifying his worry for Lisa.Mello got up and rubbed his tir
" Where the hell did you keep her! "Mello angered with a blow to Ray's cheek.Ray's head snapped to the side from the force of the blow. He spat out more blood, grinning through the pain. "You think beating me will get you what you want?" he taunted, his voice hoarse but mocking. "I’ve been through worse."Mello's patience was wearing thin. His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. "Tell me where she is!" he shouted, his voice cracking with a mix of anger and desperation.Ray laughed again, low and sinister. "You’ll have to do better than that," he said, his eyes gleaming with malice. "I’m the only one who knows where she is, and you’ll have to play by my rules if you want to see her alive."Mello's fury boiled over. He grabbed Ray by the collar, lifting him from the chair. "I will break you," Mello snarled through gritted teeth, "and I’ll find her, with or without your help"**Sir Ren sat in his office that early morning, his usually bright eyes clouded with a di
A knock echoed through Sir Ren's office door before it creaked open, and Sean strode in with a casual confidence. His broad frame filled the doorway for a moment before he stepped in fully, stretching his arms and popping his knuckles as he moved. The sound was sharp and deliberate, like someone readying themselves for a fight.He let out a long sigh, a smirk playing on his lips as he approached Sir Ren’s desk. Without waiting for an invitation, he dropped into the chair opposite Ren, his expression amused. He chuckled softly, a short, devilish laugh that hinted at mischief or perhaps something darker."Well, well, seems like there's some chaos in the air," Sean said, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "What’s the game today, Boss? I’m guessing it’s not a social call. I've been on break for far too long."Sir Ren's smile widened, his eyes narrowing with a cold, calculating gleam. "I see you're already thinking ahead, Sean," he said, leaning back in his chair. "That’s exactly why I k
Sean picked up his phone and began dialing numbers with swift, practiced movements. Each call was brief but urgent, as he reached out to his network of informants scattered across the city. The minutes ticked by, each call yielding little useful information until finally, one of his contacts answered with a shaky voice. “Sean, I’ve got something,” the informant said, a note of excitement in his tone. “I saw Ray last night, right after he took Lisa. I’ve been tracking him since.” Sean’s attention sharpened. “Where did he go? Give me the details.” The informant quickly relayed the information. “He headed towards the woods on the edge of town. It’s a rundown area, easy to miss. The exact spot is a place not known to all . It’s secluded, not a place many people go. I'll make the area on the map and send it to you” Sean’s mind raced as he took down the location. “Thanks for the tip. I’ll handle it from here.” He hung up and immediately ignited the engine. The car came to life wi
Sean returned shortly after, carrying a small bag in his hand. Lisa, overwhelmed with fear, struggled to move Mello but found him too heavy. Sean grabbed her by the hair, dragging her away from Mello’s unconscious body. She cried out in pain, her pleas growing more desperate. “Please, please let me go!” she sobbed, her voice trembling with anguish.Sean was about to lift her onto his shoulders when he felt a sharp tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he was met with a fierce punch from Mello. Stumbling back, Sean was tackled to the ground by Mello, who straddled him and began to punch him furiously.“This is for Lisa!” Mello shouted, his face a grimace of rage as he threw another punch. “This is for touching her!” he roared, landing blow after blow. Sean’s face was soon a swollen, bloody mess. Despite the pain and his distorted features, Mello didn’t stop. He continued to strike Sean, his anger and desperation driving each punch until Sean was barely recognizable.Mello stopped as so
When she woke up again, it was dark outside, and the room was dimly lit by a single overhead light. A nurse was checking her IV drip, and Kelan was back, sitting by her bedside. She looked around, disoriented for a moment.“Lisa,” Kelan whispered, leaning closer. “They said you can see Mello now, but only for a few minutes. He’s still in pretty bad shape.”She nodded weakly. “Please, take me to him.”The nurse brought a wheelchair, and with Kelan's help, Lisa was carefully moved into it. Every movement sent small jolts of pain through her, but she didn’t care. She needed to see Mello.As they wheeled her down the hallway, the soft hum of hospital machinery and hushed voices filled the space. When they reached the roomAs Lisa looked around the room she was in, the door creaked open, revealing the most handsome man she had ever seen. She couldn’t believe it—she was actually blushing.Mello stepped inside, a bright smile on his face, holding a bouquet of flowers. He was dressed in a bla
