Two years ago, Hannah and her father were driving back from a failed business meeting. The deal had collapsed last minute. Their so-called partner turned out to be a fraud—and a dangerous one. On the way back, they noticed a black SUV following them. At first, they ignored it. Then another one joined.

The driver tried to shake them off. It didn’t work.

They were soon cornered on a narrow road outside the city.

Hannah and her father jumped out, hoping to run, but the two vehicles didn’t stop. They accelerated, heading straight at them.

In that moment, Hannah froze. She thought it was over. She was sure of it.

But before the cars could reach them, someone dropped out of the sky. Literally.

A man landed between them and the cars and stopped both vehicles with his bare hands. The ground cracked beneath him, the hoods of the cars crumpled, and everything went still.

Hannah remembered standing there, speechless, heart racing.

He looked like something out of a movie.

She tried to speak, but

    “Mr. Norman, you're under arrest!” the officer barked, stepping forward, with handcuffs. Norman glanced up from his desk, unfazed, his eyes cool and steady. “Under arrest? For what?” “For accepting a bribe!” The officer’s gaze hardened, but Norman didn’t flinch, though a flicker of confusion passed through his mind. “There’s been a mistake, Officer,” Norman said, keeping his voice steady. “I’ve never accepted a bribe. Who made this accusation?” “I did, Norman.” Before the officer could respond, the door swung open, and Lana, Norman’s fiancée, stepped inside, her expression twisted with disdain. “I reported you to the police. Now to save yourself from more embarrassment. Go with the police and pay for your crimes.”She said coldly.Norman’s calm wavered slightly as he turned to face her, his brows knitting in surprise. “Lana?” he asked, disbelief creeping into his voice,“What are you saying?““Don’t play innocent,” she snapped. “You took a bribe, and I did what was necessa

    As the two officers escorted Norman through the city streets toward the police station, curious onlookers gathered, whispering and snapping pictures. The acting Mayor, in handcuffs—how could this be?Amid the crowd's murmurs, Norman remained unfazed. Instead, it was the officers escorting him who lowered their heads, avoiding eye contact with the townspeople, as though they were the ones guilty of a crime.As they arrived at the station and were about to escort Norman inside, a convoy suddenly pulled up, halting directly in front of them. The officers caught sight of the license plate on the lead vehicle and immediately froze, their faces shifting into expressions of involuntary panic. It was Chief Bethany's car.The high-ceilinged lobby of the police station fell silent as Chief Bethany entered. The officers straightened instinctively, her reputation of iron discipline preceding her. With every step, she commanded respect—sharp suit, polished boots, and an unbreakable gaze.Betha

    When Norman was in the police station, a black Mercedes-Benz pulled up smoothly in front of The Grand Heavens, Valkoria’s most prestigious hotel. Known for its unmatched luxury, it was a place where only the wealthiest elites could even think about reserving a room. Tonight, however, Lana, her father Lucas, and her new boyfriend, Henry, were here to celebrate their recent success. As they stepped out, Lana tightened her grip on Henry’s arm, proudly presenting him to her father. Henry, dressed impeccably in a custom-fitted suit, looked every bit the part of a wealthy young man from Capital City. As they stepped into the lobby of The Grand Heavens, Mr. Divine, the hotel manager, approached them quickly, a wide smile breaking his typically stoic face. “Mayor Lucas, Miss Lana,” he greeted warmly. “It’s a pleasure to welcome you here. We’ve made arrangements for you in our finest suite.” Lana raised a brow, surprised. Divine had barely acknowledged her the last time she was here,

    Seeing that their little lies would be exposed, Lucas intervened. “We have proof, but it's not here. You can see we're in Grand heavens, is this the right time to talk about this?”Harris shook his head. Arresting Norman was a grave mistake. And he hoped this wouldn't bring the downfall of Valkoria. “Removing Norman as the acting Mayor is a big mistake, Mayor Lucas.”Henry, seeing the opportunity, chimed in. “I will be the new Mayor.”“And who are you?” Harris turned to him and scoffed, but his grave expression remained.“I am the second son of the Havord family from the Capital City. I'm sure you will know about my family, we're among the elites of—”Harris rolled his eyes and cut him short. “I clearly don't know who nor your family is, and I don't care either. And for that position you're clearly not fit for it!” He said coldly.“How dare you!” Henry gritted his teeth.Lucas was also displeased with Harris’s behavior towards Henry. “Henry is right, he'll be the next acting Mayor.”

    Bethany was adding finishing touches to her makeup when she heard the doorbell. Her heart skipped a beat, and the brush she held fell in the ground. However, as she bent down to pick it up, she banged her head which caused her to actually feel pain.“Aw!” She grunted, rubbing her hair gently. She seemed to have hurt herself, and wasn't able to pick up the brush before she heard the doorbell again. This time, she moved to go answer the door.Upon pulling the door open, she was met with a surprise that caused her to gasp.A bouquet of flowers being held almost like a tower.“Norman?” She called, but only heard his voice. “I'll let the keep these inside… why don't we wait in the car?’ It seemed he was behind his guard who held the flower. Bethany nodded. She didn't have an issue with his suggestion. Infact, she saw it as a really good suggestion.She handed the key to the guard, and was about to walk alongside him when he brought out his hands for her to hold. Bethany was a really shy

    It seemed like they were all reaching the same thing. She gave the description and was able to make them get a perfect description of the person who made her want to poison Bethany.After that, they made sure her family was able to be safe before the poster of the man was spread, and within a few days the assassin was caught.“Who sent you?!” There were so many things involved. She was trying so hard to interrogate, but he didn't seem interested. His eyes darkened, and he tried to make her fear him, but Bethany was someone with a double skin. “Are you going to speak, or should I torment you until you have something to say?” She asked, and there was silence. No one knew what was being said the only thing that mattered at this point was the fact that a lot was going on. “Do you think I fear you?” Bethany scoffed, and that was when she brought out the big guns. She knew there was a way to make him speak even when it was going to take time.Well, her diagnosis was true. She was so good

    Bethany was still trying to get things in place, but she didn't know how else to do it.“Your mother will be under our protective care, and that's a promise. We are going to ensure that she's fine. You just have to play along with us. Is that okay?” “You're being too calm with her. Why do you expect her to speak up? Torment her. She doesn't even deserve to be given a time to speak. She's a monster. Do you understand?” Bethany flashed her a glare, and she immediately kept quiet. Linda had always thought she was actually being this way because she was the boss, but the truth remained that the girl didn't even mind her dying.“I didn't mean to do it I swear. I just–” “Give us the info we need to know, and maybe we'll just give you a suspension and nothing more. Maybe you'll even be allowed back into the service, and this won't go outside the office. How about that?” All that seemed like a really good offer. The girl was still really skeptical. The worse part of all this was the fact

    “Who?” Bethany asked. She seemed to be really into whatever was going on. She was worried that she had another betrayer in her midst which wasn't good.“I believe we'll bust him and have him arrested when you get better, but for now, why don't you focus on getting better first. Soon enough, we're going to actually make sense of everything else.” She didn't have any other choice. At one point, she was seeing everything in a confused manner. She knew that things were horrible. Bethany was determined to recover. She took the dose norman made for her everyday, and made sure she was resting well. Andrew, and the rest of her squad handled things in the state while she took time to recover.After a while, she was finally able to get herself. She was trying her best to understand what the issue really was. Her heart drummed, and she was always in a off mode. Everything seemed off, and all she wanted was simple.
