The bar was dark, smoky, and filled with the scent of alcohol and sweat. Music played in the background—low, sultry beats that made the room feel heavy. The air was thick, and the dim red lights gave everything a dangerous glow.A man sat in the corner, his cigarette burning between his fingers. He was deep in thought, his jaw clenched as he remembered Mia’s words."You let her escape?"His fingers tightened around his glass of whiskey. He had never failed a job before. Never. But tonight, Olive had gotten away. Raymond had gotten to her first. And Mia… she was furious.A long drag of smoke filled his lungs as he exhaled slowly."This isn’t over," he thought.His gaze flickered to the entrance of the bar. The door swung open, and two women strutted in. Their hips swayed with confidence, their stripeless outfit clinging to every curve. They were meant to be distractions. Beautiful, dangerous distractions. The blonde one locked eyes with him, a slow smirk curling on her lips.She walke

The tires screeched against the pavement as the car came to a jarring halt."Shit! She jumped out!" the man cursed, slamming his fists against the steering wheel as they came down from the car.The girl’s eyes burned with fury. “We need to get her before—”She stopped mid-sentence. Headlights sliced through the darkness, a black SUV speeding toward them.“Damn it!” the man growled. “We have to retreat.”He backed away cautiously, keeping his eyes on the unmoving form of Olive. The girl spat out a curse but wasted no time. They both rushed to the car, slamming the doors shut.The SUV skidded to a stop just a few feet away from Olive’s crumpled body.“Olive!” Raymond’s voice cracked as he leaped out of the car, his feet pounding against the asphalt. He dropped to his knees beside her, his hands trembling as he reached for her. She was pale, her skin icy to the touch, and blood pooled beneath her, staining the ground red."Follow them!" he barked at his men.His men were already in pursu

Raymond stormed out of his penthouse in New York, his phone pressed tightly against his ear.“I want every resource we have looking for Olive Bennett. Now.” His voice was sharp, filled with urgency.His driver rushed to open the car door, but Raymond didn’t wait. He slid into the backseat and slammed the door shut. “To the airport. Fast.”As the car sped off, Mia stood by the window, watching with a sly smirk. Everything was going just as she had planned.She picked up her phone and dialed.The cloaked man answered after one ring.“Hello,” she said smoothly, her voice dripping with fake sweetness. “I don’t want her to see the sunlight of the next day.”The man chuckled darkly, taking a long drag from his cigarette. “Consider it done.”He exhaled a cloud of smoke before leaning back lazily. “When will I get my part of the deal?”Mia rolled her eyes, her tone playful yet cold. “Don’t be in a hurry. Everything will be processed soon.”The man grinned, taking another sip of his wine. “It

The waitress leaned back against the passenger seat, her dark eyes gleaming with malice. “Not bad. She’s a pretty one,” she said, smirking as she glanced at Olive. “Maybe you will have a little fun with her before she kisses the earth goodbye.”Olive’s skin crawled at the words. She felt like an animal, something to be used and then thrown away. Her mind raced, trying to think of a way to escape, but her body wouldn’t cooperate. She was too weak, too scared. She felt like a lamb surrounded by wolves, helpless and cornered. Tears burned her eyes, but she blinked them back, refusing to give her captors the satisfaction of seeing her break.Who were these people? What did they want? None of that mattered now. All she could think about was escape. She had to get out, no matter what.The car slowed to a halt, the sound of crunching gravel beneath the tires breaking the tense silence. Olive squinted through her blurry vision and saw they had arrived at a desolate location—a forgotten piece

The morning sun shone brightly through the curtains of Olive’s hotel room. She woke up slowly, feeling tired after a restless night. She sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes, then stretched her arms. It was time to start the day.Dragging herself to the bathroom, she washed her face with cold water. The chill helped her wake up fully. After drying her face, Olive stared into the mirror for a moment. Her heart was heavy. The court case today was on her mind.She dressed simply, in a white blouse and navy jeans, and then walked over to the phone on the bedside table. She pressed the button to call the hotel’s room service.“Good morning,” she said. “I’d like to order breakfast, please. Coffee, scrambled eggs, and toast.”“Yes, ma’am,” the voice on the other end replied. “We’ll deliver it shortly.”After ending the call, Olive grabbed her phone and texted her lawyer, Mr. Henry. “Good morning, Mr. Henry. I’ll come to your office today with the documents.”It didn’t take long for him to reply.

Mia leaned back in her chair, her fingers drumming against the table as she held her phone to her ear. “Make sure it’s done cleanly. No mistakes, no trace,” she said sharply.The man on the other end chuckled, his voice smooth and unbothered. “Mia, after all these years, you still question what I’m capable of?”He took a drag from his cigarette, the ember glowing briefly before he exhaled a cloud of smoke. His gaze wandered to the Chicago skyline outside his hotel window, his lips curving into a faint smirk.“Relax,” he said, his tone dripping with confidence. “You can start celebrating. The job’s as good as done.”Mia's laughter echoed through the phone, a cold, mirthless sound that sent shivers down the spine. "I knew I could count on you. You're the best in the business."The man's response was curt, his tone dismissive. "Just make sure you hold up your end of the deal." His words were a warning.He ended the call, slipping his phone into his pocket. His movements were deliberate a
