It had been two years since Jace had left for New York, and Emiliana had missed him every day. She had worn the beautiful necklace he had given her every day as a reminder of their bond, and it had helped her get through some tough times. They also communicated via voice and video calls once in a while as a result of choked-up work schedules and activities. But then, one day, Jace showed up at her doorstep, unannounced. Emiliana couldn't believe her eyes when she opened the door to see him standing there. He looked different, more mature, more confident, more handsome than ever before, and even wealthier too. "Jace!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms around him in a tight embrace. "I missed you so much," he said, holding her close. They spent the next few hours catching up, sharing stories about their lives and everything that had happened since they last saw each other. Emiliana couldn't help but notice that Jace seemed different, more focused, and more driven. "So, what brings

Months had passed since the trial, and Emiliana had finally started to feel a sense of normalcy in her life again. She had enrolled in college and was studying to become a nurse, something she had always dreamed of.On this particular day, Emiliana was sitting in the college library, studying for an upcoming exam. She had her headphones in, listening to classical music, when she heard a familiar voice behind her."Hey there, nurse-to-be," Jace said, grinning at her.Emiliana turned around and smiled, feeling her heart race at the sight of him. Even after all these months, she still felt a rush of excitement whenever she saw him."Hey yourself," she said, laughing.Jace pulled up a chair and sat down beside her. They chatted for a while, catching up on each other's lives. Emiliana couldn't help but feel grateful for Jace's presence in her life. He had been her anchor during the darkest moments of her life, and she knew that she could always count on him.After a while, Jace stood up an

Emiliana took a deep breath and sat down on the couch, feeling drained from the stress and fear of the past few days. Jace sat down beside her, his hand on her shoulder, offering comfort.As they waited for the police to report back, they talked about their options. It was clear that the camp director was not going to stop until he got what he wanted. Emiliana knew that she had to be proactive in protecting herself and her loved ones."We need to install some security cameras around the apartment," Emiliana said, looking at Jace. "Just in case he tries to come here."Jace nodded in agreement. "I'll take care of it. And we should also look into getting a restraining order against him."Emiliana felt a small sense of relief knowing that they were taking steps to protect themselves. But at the same time, she couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of her stomach. She knew that they were still in danger.Just then, the doorbell rang, interrupting their conversation. E

Emiliana woke up to the sound of her phone buzzing on the bedside table. She groggily picked it up, still half-asleep, and saw that she had a missed call from Jace. She was surprised, wondering why he would be calling her so early in the morning.She quickly dialed his number and he answered on the first ring. "Emiliana, thank God you picked up. I know you were asleep. You need to come over right now," he said urgently.Emiliana sat up in bed, suddenly wide awake. "What's going on, Jace? Is everything okay?""It's the camp director. He's been making threats," Jace said, his voice shaking with anger. "He's blaming us for ruining his reputation and he says he's going to sue us for everything we have."Emiliana felt a knot form in her stomach. She knew there would be consequences for exposing the camp director's secret, but she didn't think it would come to this. "I'll be right over in a couple of hours once it’s brighter," she said, hanging up the phone.Early in the morning, he quickly

A few months later.Emiliana sat on the edge of her bed, staring blankly at her phone. She had been debating whether or not to call Jace for days, but she couldn't seem to make up her mind.After everything that had happened in the past with Jace cheating on her with her childhood friend, she wasn't sure if she could trust him again.Though they felt that connection back then at the camp, she enjoyed those moments and all but she wasn’t sure if she wanted to go all over this again.She had disconnected from him after the camp’s incident because she thought everything that happened between them just happened at the spur of each moment.At the same time, she missed him. She missed the way he made her laugh and the way he always knew just what to say to make her feel better. She loved this guy.She took a deep breath and dialed his number. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she waited for him to answer."Hello?" His voice was hesitant as if he wasn't sure who was on the other end of

As they searched through the camp, Emiliana and Jace's determination grew stronger with every passing moment. They were determined to find any evidence that would help them bring the corrupt camp director to justice.As they entered one of the cabins, Emiliana noticed something strange. The bed was unmade, and there were clothes strewn across the floor. "Jace, look at this," she said, pointing at the mess.Jace approached and examined the room. "It looks like someone left in a hurry," he said, picking up a shirt from the floor. "Maybe they knew we were coming."Emiliana felt a chill run down her spine. "Do you think they're still here?"Jace shook his head. "I don't know, but we need to be careful."They continued their search, moving from cabin to cabin. As they entered one of the larger buildings, Emiliana heard a noise coming from upstairs. "Did you hear that?" she whispered to Jace.He nodded, his hand going to his pocket. "I'll call the police. Stay here."Emiliana watched as Jac
