That doesn’t match Edward’s behavior at all.”

For a moment, neither of them spoke. Then, all of a sudden, Sophia’s eyes flew wide open. A thought hit her . She sat up straight, her fingers frozen where they were.

“Wait…” she said, her voice almost breathless. “When that man pointed the gun at BlackHood in the warehouse… he said something. He explained how he managed to get in. He talked about working with the woman. There must be a clue we can depend on if he really worked with her. Who's the lady and where's she from? Let's start with that and see if we can see anything that can lead us to his discovery".

She paused, letting that thought sink in.

“Edward would never do something like that. I’ve known him for too long. He wouldn’t sneak behind our backs, not in that way. He just doesn’t have it in him,” she said, her voice trembling slightly. Then she glanced away, lost in thought, her mind racing.

“But if it’s not Edward…” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper now. “Then who

  • Thrown Like Garbage

    The rain poured with relentless intensity, turning the streets of Langley Heights into glistening rivers of silver. Allesandra trudged through the rainfall , her once-elegant beige coat clinging to her body like a second skin, weighed down by the water that drenched her to the "bone". Her boots, caked in mud, splashed through shallow puddles as her trembling hands clutched the strap of the nylon she was holding. Her long dark hair, soaked and tangled, plastered against her pale face as she approached the familiar path that led to her family’s estate.She paused at the front of her house, tears mingled with raindrops on her cheeks as memories rushed in like a cruel flood. The only daughter of Johnson Emipre, one of the principal shareholders of Ryker’s Oil Company was now standing in front of her family's empire like an animal. She remember how she was treated like an animal back at the hostel.Her swollen eyes gazed upward at the dark sky, thunder rolling like a war drum in the distan

  • A Plan To Relocate

    Hearing this, Ryker burst into laughter, shaking his head in disbelief."Two hundred billion dollars? You must be joking, kid."His voice echoed in the large room, filled with a mixture of mockery and irritation. He stood by the tall window, looking out into the city, the phone still pressed to his ear. The voice on the other end remained calm, unmoved by Ryker’s reaction.“I’ve been watching you for the past two years,” the caller continued, his tone steady and laced with confidence. Ryker's fingers gripped the phone tighter, the amusement quickly fading from his face.“And if I’m not mistaken,” the caller added, “your net worth is over twenty trillion dollars and taking out just two hundred billion dollars to save your son shouldn't be a big deal”“You must be joking,” Ryker responded.” You aren't getting anything".“I’m not,” the caller replied firmly. “And don’t waste your time trying to trace this call. You’ll get nothing. You have exactly one week to send me the two hundred bill

  • 200 Billion Dollars For His Life

    This agitated Ryker even more. His fists clenched at his sides, and his voice thundered through the room.“Watch and see what I’m going to do with you!”There was a moment of silence before the caller responded, his tone calm and confident, almost taunting.“You can’t do anything, Ryker. And let me warn you, Mr. Ryker, if you raise your voice at me again, I will cut off one of his fingers and send it to you. I want you to listen very carefully to what I’m about to say. Don’t yell. Don’t shout. But if you’re feeling brave, go ahead and give it a try.”Ryker narrowed his eyes. A cruel smirk tugged at the corner of his lips, looking in disbelief.“You can’t do anything,” he said confidently. “Do you really think I’m that easy to fool? BlackHood was never kidnapped. He’s sleeping right inside his room as we speak. So don’t waste your time pretending you stumbled across my number and trying to scare some cash out of me. I’m not falling for that.”There was a brief silence on the other end

  • Heaven-Sent, Hell-Bound

    “I found this,” he shouted at the top of his voice as he rushed over to Ryker, his breath quick and heavy. His eyes were wide, and his hand trembled as he held out a small object wrapped in tissue paper.Ryker turned sharply at the sound of his voice, stepping closer to take a better look. “Something must have happened here,” the man added, scanning the dimly lit hostel room with a worried expression.Ryker furrowed his brows and looked around the room. “Aren’t there any CCTV cameras inside the hostel rooms?” he asked, raising his head slightly as he tried to get a better view of the surroundings through the open doorway.“No,” the man replied, shaking his head. “BlackHood told me he removed them. The girls had complained that they felt uncomfortable being watched. He’s a kind man. Too kind, honestly. I always warned him to stop being so soft, but he wouldn’t listen.”Ryker let out a long sigh and gently took the object from the man’s hand. It was a small needle, thin and metallic, st

  • What Comes After Escape

    But… but what if we end up like, I’m just having this feeling that this plan is not going to…” Olivia muttered, her voice trembling, barely louder than a whisper. Her eyes darted nervously around the dimly lit hall, and her fingers fidgeted with the hem of her jacket.Before she could finish what she was saying ,Allesandra spun around to face her, her voice cutting through the air like a blade.“NOTHING WILL HAPPEN!” she shouted, her voice echoing off the walls of the warehouse.The room fell silent for a moment. Olivia stared at her, wide-eyed, startled by the sudden outburst. Even the other girls paused briefly in their tasks, glancing over in surprise.Allesandra quickly softened her gaze. She took a deep breath, stepping closer to Olivia. Gently, she placed both hands on her friend’s shoulders and spoke more calmly this time.“I’m sorry,” she said, her voice low and sincere. “I didn’t mean to shout at you. I really didn’t. But what I’m trying to say is that everything will be fine

  • Before He Finds Us

    Clara stood up on her feet and faced the girls again. Slowly lowering her hands, she took a deep breath and began to speak, her tone serious and steady."You’ve all heard what the man said. Now, if I’m not mistaken…” she muttered, her voice calm and firm, her eyes scanning the room as she paused briefly. She glanced down at her wrist, checking the time, then turned back to the group. “We have only ten minutes left to leave this warehouse. Ryker is a very dangerous person, and you all know how powerful and ruthless he is. But I have the layout of this building. So, I’m going to guide each and every one of you out of here, and we’ll do it without crossing paths with Ryker.”The girls stood still, their eyes wide with fear and confusion. Whispers passed quietly between some of them, but no one moved. Unlike the others, Allesandra had already begun preparing. She had packed a small bag. Then Olivia, who had been standing close by, reached out and gently grabbed Allesandra’s wrist.Her voi
