Chapter: 53A scream tore from Ralph's throat as Gina toppled over the edge. But before gravity claimed her, a strong grip clamped onto her wrist. Boris, eyes wide with shock, had lunged forward, snatching her back from the abyss. He dragged her back onto the rooftop, her heart hammering against her ribs; she couldn’t believe she just saw her life flash before her eyes in a second. Gina sat sprawled on the concrete, gasping for breath, the world tilting around her.Ralph’s face held a mixture of shock and relief as he stared at her for a while. Silence stretched for a lifetime, finally broken by Boris's gravelly voice. "Where's the staff?" he rasped, eyes narrowed at Gina. His grip on her wrist had loosened, but the question held her pinned where she sat. Gina, still panting for breath, looked up at him with a shaky smile. "I think I dropped it," she admitted, embarrassment creeping up her face.Before Boris could respond, a gruff voice cut through the stillness. Ralph, pushing past Boris with a

Chapter: 52“He’s gone to get the staff from Boris; after this, he’ll leave for good,” Ivy announced, making Gina’s heart drop.“Where is he now? I need to find him,” Gina said as she got up immediately.“I’m not trying to stop you, but you can’t just go out there without a plan. It’s dangerous out there,” Ivy warned. Gina walked towards her and held her hands in hers.“Ivy, please tell me where he is. That is all I ask. I promise that I won’t try to stop him from leaving; I just want to have a last talk with him,” Gina pleaded, which was only a lie. There was no way she would let Ralph sacrifice himself just for her to live. Even though she didn’t have a plan yet, she was sure she would come up with an idea, whether smart or a dumb one. She was more focused on the end result, which was stopping him from leaving. She held Ivy’s hands, silently hoping that would be enough to convince her.“I don’t know, Gina. Ralph would be really mad at me if you get hurt,” Ivy said, trying to pull her hands out

Chapter: 51“i’ll follow the rules. I will have to look for a way to get rid of you and take zayn with me,” Ralph said as he stared at her, as though waiting for her reaction.Gina stared at him for a while, her expression almost comical. Shock and disappointment were etched on her face as she did. “Uhmm… I see,” Gina finally let out, her shock still evident. Ralph stared on silently, his eyes pinned on her face. And then slowly, a small smile appeared on his lips.“I was only messing with you, silly. Don’t tell me you fell for that?” Ralph asked with a smile as he playfully pinched the tip of her nose.The playful pinch to her nose sent a spark of laughter dancing in Gina's eyes, dispelling the shock that had momentarily settled there. Relief flooded her in a warm wave, replacing the tensed look on her face.“Don’t ever make such a joke with me again; that wasn’t funny,” Gina said with a smile, playfully hitting his chest."Don’t tell me you actually believed that I’ll choose anything over you?"

Chapter: 50As Gina paced around the room, her mind filled with worry and panic, Ralph, seated in a corner of the room, watched Gina pace with an understanding but pensive gaze. He could sense her worry and panic; the staff wasn’t some random object that someone like Boris could have in his possession. An object like that could destroy the entire world in a second with just a little effort."It's okay, I'll get the staff back, I promise," Ralph said, reaching out to gently hold her in place, his eyes reflecting a sincerity that only seemed to agitate Gina further."You say it's okay? Do you realize what's at stake here? That staff is not just some random object, Ralph! How could you even think of trading something that holds the safety of the entire world just to save one person!? Was it even worth it?" Gina said, almost yelling.Ralph held her gaze for a while, as though at a loss for words, but he answered, “You are not just ‘one person,’ Gina. You and Zayn are my only priorities. I’m going to

Chapter: 49Back on the beach, Ralph's worry deepened as the minutes stretched into an eternity. After about 15 minutes of waiting without any trace of her, he decided to go to the female’s restroom in search of her even though he knew it wasn’t right. Upon entering the restroom, it was eerily quiet, the only sound was the distant crash of waves against the shore. Panic clutched at his chest as he scanned the vacant room, finding only her abandoned phone on the floor, its screen shattered. His heart pounded as he picked it up, a premonition of impending trouble settling over him. Confusion and fear intertwined as he stared at the broken screen, contemplating his next move. Before he could gather his thoughts, a new message flashed across the damaged display. Unknown Number: you really thought you could protect her, didn’t you? A chill ran down his spine as he read the text, trembling hands gripping her damaged phone tightly, anger welling up within him. Frustration boiled over, and he couldn't c

Chapter: 48A surprised smile touched Gina's lips. It wasn't the question she had expected. She glanced at Ralph, a mix of shock and amusement as she stared. “So, where are we going” gina asked with a smile Ralph smiled, a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. "you once mentioned that you wanted to go to a beach” Gina's eyes sparkled with surprise and delight. "A beach? That would be amazing." She said with a blush as she bites her lips in attempt to contain her smile. But he walked up to her, took her hands and pulled her into a warm embrace. “i want us to make the best of the little time we have together” he said stroking her hair gently while gina nodded with a tight smile even though he clearly couldn’t see her nod as her head was resting against his chest. The Next Day the sun hung lazily in the sky, casting a warm glow on the sandy shores of the beach. The rhythmic sounds of waves crashing against the shore created a soothing melody as Gina and Ralph strolled hand in hand along the water

Mikel asked with keen interest as he turned around to face her."Have you forgotten, Naomi has a child for you, you can't marry someone else other than her, she wouldn't let the wedding stand. I don't hate Caira, I love her like my own daughter, which is why I don't want you to ruin her life, I don't want her to be heartbroken and disappointed when she finds out that you have another woman and a child other than her, I don't want her to hate you and regret knowing you, I don't want her to have a divided home.

You said I and my bastard child could go to hell for all you care.

Find something else to step on.”I spun around, my heart pounding as I took in the figure seated casually in a small patio tucked into the maze’s corner. Kai. He sat there, calm and watchful, his gun resting on the table beside him.“Fu—” I stopped myself, feeling the heat rise in my face. I’d been so sure he was away on a trip to Europe, just as Bianca had said.“Come here,” he ordered, his voice cool but commanding. Slowly, I limped over, every nerve in my body on high alert.“Sit,” he said, though there was only one chair—and he was sitting on it.“Where? There’s nowhere to sit.” I kept my tone even, but he just stared, unbothered.“Right. On the floor. Got it.” I began to lower myself when he grabbed my arm, pulling me onto his lap.“Are you always this dumb?” he muttered, almost to himself, but I could hear the edge in his voice.“I’d prefer to stand,” I said, my body tense. The position was uncomfortable, and my heart pounded as I tri

Chapter: 8Amelia's POV"you're hurting my arm. Please, stop!" My voice trembled with pain as I pleaded.His grip loosened slightly, and I saw a flicker of hesitation in his eyes. But just as quickly, his face hardened, shutting off any sign of remorse. He let go off me, getting up immediately, as though he was creating a distance between us to avoid the temptation of hurting me againI bit down on the pain, fighting back tears as I pushed further. “Is this how you treat people? With violence and no regard for their well-being?”His jaw clenched, and he turned his gaze away for a second before looking back at me. “Watch your tongue, Amelia. You’re lucky I even spared your life,” he retorted, his voice sharp with arrogance.I straightened up, trying to look braver than I felt. "No matter what you do, you don’t scare me." I hated how false the words sounded in my own ears. Of course, he scared me. He was one of the most dangerous men in the world—anyone who wasn’t afraid of him would have to be ou

Chapter: 7Amelia’s POVAs I lay on the bed, the doctor bandaging my leg and arm, I could barely keep my eyes open from sheer exhaustion. Screaming had drained whatever energy I had left, and the pain from having the bullets taken out was almost unbearable. I tried to steady my breathing, wincing every time the doctor adjusted the bandage. Maybe if I’d just admitted the truth earlier, I wouldn’t be in this situation, I thought.I’ve seen countless movies where characters get shot, and I always watched with detached curiosity, never fully understanding what it felt like. Now I know. The pain wasn’t just physical; it was soul-crushing, something I wouldn’t forget for the rest of my life. But then, what kind of person shoots you and then sends for a doctor to patch you up? A psychopath. And that’s exactly what Kai is—a twisted psychopath.I was still lying on the bed when Carlos walked in. The sight of him made my stomach churn with anger, so I squeezed my eyes shut, hoping he'd leave if I pretende

Chapter: 6Amelia’s POV I woke up on a cold, hard floor that smelled like dried blood, the smell clinging to the damp air. My head thumped painfully, each pulse like a hammer against my skull as I struggled to sit up. Blinking a few times, I tried to make sense of my surroundings. The room was empty, the dim light casting long shadows across the walls. How did I even end up here? I winced as the movement only aggravated my headache. The last thing I remembered was performing on stage, then wandering outside into the garden for some air. That’s when the men... I closed my eyes, trying to piece it together, but the memory was a blur. It was interrupted by the sound of a door creaking open. A man stepped into the room, holding a length of rope. Instinctively, I backed up, though there was nowhere to go. “How did I get here? Were you the one who brought me?” I demanded, my voice shaky but defiant. “Our boss did,” the man replied, stepping closer. “Who the fuck is your boss, and what does he wa

I haven’t met him or even seen him, but that guy has a terrible reputation. He’s not someone you mess with,” Tasha said, her voice edged with urgency. She was trying to convince me, but I was already resigned.“I don’t have a choice, Tasha. If I don’t do this, he’ll fire me. I can’t lose three jobs in a row,” I said, heading toward my wardrobe, avoiding her eyes.“He’ll kill you just like he killed Suzan!” Tasha practically shouted.“What do you want me to do, Tasha? Lose another job and keep living in your apartment, eating your food like you’re my mom?” I shot back, my frustration bubbling over. I hated feeling like a burden, and even though Tasha had never said a word, I still felt like a burden.“I’ve never complained about you staying her

I had to run for my life.Chaos broke out in the school as everyone scrambled to escape the sound of gunfire. I didn’t dare look back, sprinting until I reached the highway. I flagged down a random taxi and jumped in.“Where to—” the driver began.“Just drive! I’ll tell you when to stop!” I interrupted, my voice urgent. He nodded and sped off. I kept my eyes glued to the side mirror, scanning for any sign of those men. I didn’t want to go straight to Tasha’s; if anyone was tailing me, I couldn’t risk leading them to her. I had no idea why they were after me, but I wasn’t about to put Tasha in danger, especially since she was sheltering me.After what felt like an eternity of winding
