In her quiet home, Whitley sat with her head bowed, her fingers squeezing her forehead as if hoping to drown out the pain that continued to throb in her temples. Her breathing was heavy, labored. The room felt even more cramped than usual, like the walls were closing in, pressing against her chest.

Fuck...,” she swore softly, almost as a hiss.

The painkillers she had swallowed earlier gave no relief. The pain remained lodged, settling in her bones, creeping like a poison that refused to leave. Every second felt like another ordeal added on top of the existing burden. Her life was like a cruel game that gave her no pause to breathe.

In the midst of her downfall, one name came back to haunt her mind-Harvey. Her ex-husband was so good, too good. She always gave in to her every whim, as if the world belonged to Whitley alone. But now? Harvey's life seemed better without her, while she herself was plunged into a seemingly endless suffering.

her fingers trembled, wanting to reach for a bott

    Bernard's eyes trembled, staring at the door with a fear he couldn't hide. Cold sweat soaked his temples, dripping slowly down.There was another knock on the door, three loud knocks that broke the silence. The voice from outside sounded more insistent this time.“Mr. Bernard, are you in? You said I should deliver your order here.”The tone of voice was firm, almost a veiled threat - as if it wouldn't leave until the door was opened.Bernard swallowed, his eyes rounding. This might be his only chance to get out from under these terrorists.With a hoarse voice that was about to break, he prepared to shout.But before Bernard could open his mouth, Jack's rough hand immediately covered it, his fingers pressing hard to keep him silent. The cold tip of the gun was pressed right against his forehead.“If you dare make a sound, I'll put a hole in your head!” whispered Jack in a threatening tone, his eyes glaring like a predator.Bernard, who was helpless against the experienced terrorists, c

    As soon as the announcement of Harvey's return was broadcast, an explosion of emotion swept through the crowd like a flame through gasoline. Faces that had been tense were now filled with the light of hope. Some people hugged each other, others punched the air or shouted at the sky.“Did you hear that?!” a wide-eyed man exclaimed, his voice breaking with excitement. “The God of War is back!” He grasped his friend's arm, shaking it shakily. “The Masked General will wipe out all the bastards who messed up in Kaelvarion!”A woman covered her mouth, tears falling unbidden. Next to her, a small child jumped up and down between the legs of an adult, shouting over and over again, “We're safe! We're safe!”The cheers slowly died down, replaced with sighs of relief that spread like a warm mist amidst the chill of fear. Some people sat on the sidewalk, closing their eyes for a moment as if to let the reality sink into their chests. Whispers began to be heard, retelling stories about the Masked

    "What god of war? You're just a coward!" shouted a man, his voice hoarse and full of anger. He pointed at the megatron screen, his fingers trembling with emotion.Among the crowd, a woman stepped forward. Tears flooded her cheeks, her cries loud and tearing."You still dare to show your face like that?! Get out! Get out! I'll kill you!" she screamed hysterically, almost falling over to be held back by the two people beside her.The crowd exploded. Like a fire engulfing a haystack, the mob's rage spread quickly. Shout after shout rained down on the giant screen-cursing, cursing, and unstoppable scorn.Some threw bottles and rocks at the megatron, even though they knew it would have no effect. Their emotions had trumped logic.However, the Masked General on the screen remained silent.Only the image of him stood there-mysterious, unmoving, letting the waves of hatred crash down on him unopposed.From upstairs, Allison stood petrified, staring at the increasingly frenzied crowd below. He

    Raindrops fell slowly from the gray sky, soaking the rooftops of the tall buildings surrounding the city of Duskvale. The air pierced the skin, biting everyone who stood still in the public cemetery. Thick jackets were not enough to warm their shivering bodies, whether it was the weather or the unbearable grief.The cemetery is large, but today it feels claustrophobic. The rows of mourners stood tightly, black umbrellas touching each other, forming a dark sea between the wet headstones. Sobs were heard here and there, muffled by the steady rain.In the center of the crowd, a monument stands tall - its granite surface adorned with neatly engraved names of more than five hundred victims of yesterday's bombing. Trembling fingers touched the names, as if hoping to bring someone back to life from the cold letters in the stone.Groups of people dressed in black stood in sad silence. Soft sobs broke out among them, drifting with the raindrops. Some clung tightly to old photographs, which wer

    Somewhere hidden from the city’s chaos, hurried footsteps echoed down a narrow alley dimly lit by a flickering lamp. A man with a thick beard, dark sunglasses, and a worn-out cap walked briskly, glancing over his shoulder every few steps. His breath came in heavy bursts as he halted in front of a rusty metal door. One last scan of the area—no one was around.Click. The door creaked open with the groan of old metal.A cold draft greeted him as he stepped inside. Dim white neon lights buzzed faintly overhead. In the middle of the nearly empty room stood two figures—Allison, tall and composed with a cold expression, and Harvey, his gaze sharp, as if dissecting the man’s intentions with nothing but his eyes.Their stares pierced through him, but the man in glasses simply raised an eyebrow. With a relaxed stride and a sly grin, he stepped toward the center of the room.“Oh, I’m a bit late, huh?” His voice was casual, almost playful, as if the tension in the room didn’t touch him. “Or... we

    Flames still licked the sky as sirens wailed from every corner of the city.The hospital—a five-story building that once served as a final beacon of hope for many—had been reduced to little more than dusty rubble. What were once solid walls now lay in jagged shards. The acrid scent of smoke and scorched metal stung the air, blending with the choking dust of shattered concrete.The explosion hadn’t just been massive—it was catastrophic. Far worse than any that came before it. No one had expected Xenea to strike a target this merciless—a place meant to be the last refuge.People rushed to the scene, some still in pajamas, others in office suits—every one of them wearing the same look of panic and disbelief. They screamed out for family members, desperate cries lost in the chaos. Some sobbed uncontrollably, calling names that would never answer from beneath the debris.Journalists began to swarm in, microphones and cameras in hand, pushing against police barricades. They shouted pointed
