Sylvia’s breath caught in her throat as she looked out the window, heart pounding in her chest. She didn’t know who these people were, but the sense of dread was suffocating. The situation had gone from bad to worse in the blink of an eye, and now she was trapped, sitting helplessly in the car with Dominic, unsure of who to trust.Dominic remained calm, his eyes narrowing as the vehicles blocked the road. He gripped the steering wheel, the knuckles of his hands turning white from the pressure. His jaw clenched as he turned his head slightly toward Sylvia. "Stay in the car," he said, his voice low and commanding. "Don’t move. I’ll handle this."Sylvia wanted to protest, to get out and run, but she knew she couldn’t.

Chapter: More Search for HerThe cold, sterile office of Dominic's penthouse tower was eerily quiet. The sound of footsteps echoed off the marble floors as two Sentinels, cloaked in black tactical gear, stepped into the room. The men were built like brick walls, their expressions stoic as they approached the desk where Dominic sat. He leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled in front of him, his sharp gaze cutting through the air like a predator sizing up its prey. He was a man of few words, but when he spoke, every syllable mattered."How did the search go?" Dominic's voice was low, commanding.The first Sentinel, a tall man with a scar that ran across his cheek, stepped forward. "We've tracked her movements.
