The plane finally landed, and passengers began to come out one after the other.Among them was a woman wearing black sunglasses. She stepped out calmly, looking around as if taking everything in. Then she slowly removed her glasses and smiled.It was Melissa.“It’s good to be back,” she said to herself softly. “The air feels fresh… just like me.”She picked up her bag and walked out of the airport without looking back.At the same time, Clinton and Bryan were already on their way home.Bryan leaned back in his seat, still thinking about what had happened earlier. “I still can’t believe Alfonso’s sister is that beautiful,” he said. “I never thought someone like him who is so serious and scary could have a soft side, or even a weakness.”Clinton nodded, his eyes briefly moving to the side mirror before returning to the road. “Yeah… it’s surprising,” he said quietly.Bryan continued, “He doesn’t even look like someone who has a sister. But not only does he have one, he trusts us enough

“I had a really bad dream… more like a vision,” Kendrick said quietly.“A vision about what?” Paul asked, leaning forward, clearly worried.Kendrick ran his hand through his hair and took a deep breath.“It was terrible. Buildings were on fire, people were screaming… bodies everywhere. And I saw Victor there… smiling like he was enjoying it,” he said, his voice getting tight.Zara’s eyes widened. “What? Kendrick… are you serious?”“I am,” Kendrick said firmly. “It felt so real. I woke up sweating, my heart beating so fast… it really shook me.”Jayson leaned back in his chair. “That’s… messed up. Do you think something like that could actually happen?”“I don’t know,” Kendrick admitted. “It was just a dream… but it didn’t feel like one. It felt like a warning.”Zara folded her arms and started pacing again. “A warning? From Victor? That idiot is already causing enough trouble. And now this?” She sighed, then looked at him. “Did you check the scroll?”Kendrick nodded. “Yeah. I went down

Sia stood outside the glass office for a moment, steadying her breath. Her knuckles were still sore from clenching them too tight on the drive over. Joe’s voice echoed in her head again, the fear in it, the warning she hadn’t answered in time.“Inspector Jenkins,” a voice called. “You can come in now.”She pushed the door open.Inside were three people seated around the table: Deputy Commissioner Harris, Assistant Commissioner Lowe, and Captain Reed. Their faces were calm, too calm for people discussing a murdered officer.Sia took the empty chair without being invited.“Let’s get straight to it,” Harris said, folding his hands. “You’ve been pushing this case too aggressively.”Sia blinked. “Aggressively? A police officer was stabbed forty-two times and his house was burned down. That’s not aggressive, that’s murder.”Lowe cleared his throat. “Inspector Jenkins, this department appreciates your passion, but you’re overstepping.”“Overstepping what?” Sia asked, leaning forward. “My dut

Kendrick, what the hell is going on?” Adrian asked over the phone. His voice was filled with worry.Kendrick sighed softly as he continued fixing his tie.“I honestly don’t know what to tell you, Adrian,” he said. “I’m just as shocked as everyone else. I’m still trying to understand what’s really going on.”Adrian didn’t sound convinced.“This is serious,” he said. “Do you want me to come back? I can help. We need to deal with this guy before things get worse.”Kendrick shook his head, even though Adrian couldn’t see him.“No, Adrian. Don’t come back,” he said firmly. “I don’t know how dangerous this situation might get. It’s better you stay where you are.”He adjusted his tie and walked toward the mirror.“Just enjoy your vacation and keep an eye on the other companies. You’ve already done a lot. It’s time for you to rest and let us handle this.”There was a short silence on the other end before Adrian sighed.“I know you can handle yourself,” Adrian said. “But still… be careful. And

Kendrick remained seated for a moment after the meeting. He picked up his cup, took a slow sip, and stared quietly at the table as if deep in thought.After a minute, he placed the cup down, dropped some money on the table for the tip, and stood up. Without saying a word to anyone, he walked out of the restaurant.At home, Zara was pacing around the bedroom in her nightgown. She looked restless and worried.Jayson sat on the bed with one leg crossed over the other, watching her as she walked back and forth across the room.After a while, he sighed.“Zara, can you please sit down?” he said. “Watching you walk around like that is making me dizzy. I’m starting to get a headache.”Zara stopped walking and turned to glare at him.“Then go to sleep and leave me alone,” she replied.But Jayson only smiled.“I can’t sleep without you,” he said calmly.Zara scoffed and shook her head.“You’re always complaining,” she muttered.Then suddenly she seemed to remember something. She climbed onto th

The VIP room in the restaurant was quiet and elegant. Soft music played gently in the background, almost too faint to hear.The room was decorated with dark wooden walls and warm golden lights. A large window showed the bright city skyline outside. In the middle of the room was a long table neatly arranged with glasses, bottled water, and folded napkins.Kendrick sat at the table, calm and composed. His face showed no emotion, but his eyes were focused as he scrolled through his phone.The room felt tense even though nothing had happened yet.Kendrick glanced at his watch and frowned slightly.“He’s late,” he muttered under his breath.He placed his phone on the table and rested his hands in front of him.Just then, the door slowly opened.Victor Kane walked into the room.He looked relaxed, dressed in a perfectly fitted dark suit. His face carried the same confident smile he had worn earlier at the conference.Behind him stood his assistant, who quietly stayed near the door.Victor b
