Enzostarted pacing around, his mind elsewhere. How was he going to confess his love to Sera ?

As if he was gathering his confidence, the silence was abruptly cut by the buzzing of his phone.

He reached for it, and tada-his heart chirped fast.

A text message.

Enzo's curiosity got the better of him, and he opened the message.

The words dancing on the screen had the effect of sending a chill down his spine:

"I KNOW WHO KILLED YOUR FAMILY."

The world of Enzocrashed.

Years of searching, years of questions, and finally, a lead.

Tears streamed down his face as he slumped into his wheelchair.

The weight of his family tragedy crushed him anew.

In the next room, Sera heard Enzo's anguished cry.

Concern etched on her features, she rushed to his room.

"Robert, what's wrong?" Sera asked for an alarm , lacing her voice.

Enzo's body shook with sobs, his wheelchair trembling.

Sera 's eyes went wide as she took in the scene.

"What's wrong?" she said out loud to herself, easing her way closer to E

    Enzo Stood in a paralysis of confusion and horror wracking my brain. The house-that seemed to be radiating the warmth of laughter-lay in ruin.His family-his mother, father, and sister-were trapped inside. Panic overcame me, and he called frantically for my mother."Mom! Dad! Sarah!" He yelled at the top of my hoarse throat. But no answer came out, Enzo continued.The silence was deafening.And hours passed as his cries weakened.He had given in to exhaustion and despair.He sat on the ground, waiting for the fire extinguisher team to be done.Their faces looked solemn, engraved with sympathies.At last, they came out with body bags. Enzo heart sank.The first corpse they brought out was my dad.The only feature Enzo could recognize was the ring he always wore. It was blackened by soot now.Tears streamed down his face as he confirmed his identity.His mom and sister.they were unrecognizable.Their bodies had been reduced to ashes.The reality hit me like a tidal wave.He was alone no

    Enzo and Sera looked at each other in shock-the unexpected response hanging in the air."The old warehouse?"Enzo's eyes asked a thousand questions, his mind racing."Do you know it?" he asked Sera, furrowing his brow.Sera nodded, a reflective look on her face."I know it," she said in a measured tone. Enzostill eyed her reassuringly."What are you thinking?" he asked in a low, controlled tone."Let's get some rest," she said, her voice soothing.She led Enzoto his bed, her hands soft, her touch comforting.As she slipped the duvet over him, his eyes met hers, shining with gratitude."Thanks, Sera," he whispered hoarsely.Sera's smile trembled, her eyes misting."You're safe now, Robert," she whispered.With one final look, Sera turned off the light and went to her room.The darkness swirled around Robert, but his brain wouldn't calm.Tomorrow, they will learn what transpired.To the murder of his family. To Zaden's betrayal.Answers were in that warehouse.Enzo's jaw hardened.He

    Enzo's eyes did not leave Sera, as his face bleached white with fear.He felt a tide of guilt rush through him. Had he hurt Sera?Was this all his fault? Those words still rang in his ears from the masked man."You will know the truth soon enough."But at what cost?Rough handling from the gunmen cut the trance."Move!" one yelled, pulling on Sera's arm.Enzofelt his heart wrench. "Sera!" he shouted, tugging on his handcuffs.The masked man said nothing, staring forward.The gunmen pulled them deeper among the unknown.Enzo's wheelchair bumped over uneven terrain.Sera's terrified eyes met his. The presence of the masked man was almost forgotten."Keep moving," one of the gunmen growled. Enzo's mind started racing on.Where were they taking us? What did these men want?Threats escalated."Follow us, or you'll regret it," one gunman snarled.Sera's eyes implored him. The mask of the masked man glinted in the fading light.As darkness closed in, Enzohardened.He would protect Sera. Wh

    "Go on, spill everything," Enzosaid with his eyes fixed on Shedrack."Do you know the gunmen?" Sera asked, frowning."It's not possible that immediately you wanted to spill the information, they came into the warehouse," she continued.Shedrack nodded reflectively."Yes, I'm confused," he replied, Enzosaid.Shedrack took a deep breath."Yes, Robert, I know them," he said."It's the Zaden boys."Enzo's eyes widened."The Zaden boys?"

"It's getting chaotic, searching for papers every time we need them."Enzonodded in agreement. "Okay, Shedrack, whatever you need, just let me know. I'm tired of rummaging through piles of papers."Shedrack thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Robert, you have ten dollars? I want to buy a file from the supermarket downstairs. A nice one, proper quality."Enzowent up into the room to get the money. "Of course, I do," he said from within.

    "Please, Enzo, you can use the door," Sera replied as she approached the room entrance and gestured with her hands that Enzo had to leave. He did not take his eyes from Sera 's; those eyes were dripping in sadness yet yearning. Enzo. rose from the bed slowly, deliberately, as if every movement he made was to be savored through an intake of every second spent with Sera .She stepped aside as he neared the door, her eyes not meeting his. The tension between them was so great; the air was thick with unspoken feelings.Enzo reached the door, opened it, and stepped out into the hallway, almost in tears. He looked back at Sera for one last time to catch a glimpse of some change in her expression, but her face was still resolute.He reached the landing, his heavy heart with him, closed the door behind him, and began descending down the stairs. That heavy feeling only magnified with every step, as if it was tucking deep down in his chest.He went into the living room and slumped himself on

    James looked concerned and full of empathy. "Please explain more, I'm getting confused," he said in the most soft and encouraging way possible. "I'm here to listen to you, Marco."Taking a deep breath, Marco was choking on emotional words as he began, "I come from a middle-class family," he said in very measured and slow tones. "Because we could afford basic life needs, but luxury wasn't for us."James nodded as Marco continued to speak. "I lost my mom while she was giving birth," he said in a voice cracking with emotion. "And exactly a year later, I landed in England to pursue my final education."Marco had said that, and James could feel the pain and also vulnerability on his face. "I met a girl on Twitter," he added, with a small smile on his lips. "And eventually, we fell in love. She was so nice.”James's gaze was fixed upon Marco, his eyes glued to the latter's face as he awaited the continuation. "She was my first love," Marco reminisced. "I thought she was the one."Marco took

    Marco trudged toward his office, with heavy feet burdened by emotionally heavy thoughts, he thought with great sadness about why such a streak of bad luck in relationships should always be his lot. The mind picking question echoed like a haunting refrain, clashing against Marco's spirit. Not this time with Sera; it was surely supposed to be different. But now, standing here at the door to his office, with his hand hesitating on the handle, he felt once more with terrible force the stab of betrayal. Marco locked the door behind him. The sound of the mechanism clicking into place felt like a disavowal that marked off his reality of isolation. His eyes filled with the familiar contours of his office, yet his consciousness was fixed far away. He was shackled in a raging sea of thoughts concerning the meaning of what he had just seen.A knock on the door, Kpom kpom; silence broke, but Marco did not heed it, He was too initiated in his own fantasies. He walked from one end of the room t

    Enzo and Sera were naked, Enzo fucking her so hard it looked as if their bodies were twisted into one. Sera was being penetrated by Enzo while he slaps her ass with his hands gripping her hips. Marco stood there, completely bewildered, almost unable to process the view before him. His jaw dropped , his eyes popping out in shock.Marco stood there with a crimson face, great rage in his eyes and his fist tightly clenched, as if all anguish in the world was wringing them out of his soul. He could’nt take it any longer. The drama before his eyes paralyzed him. He resolutely closed the door behind him, the soft click reverberating in the stifled silence, then turned and walked away with heart-laden steps.Mrs. Isolde's voice picked up where silence left off. "Have you seen him?" she asked with concern. "What was wrong...?" The question trails off as she realizes the silence; there is no reply. Marco seemed too immersed in his turbulence to even hear it.In place of Marco's response came

    It was like honey, sweet and soothing, when Sera said, "I don't want to eat." Enzo's hand still gripped the spoon and hovered before his mouth, eyes still tracing hers, raking over her lovely features in search of some hint.Enzo's mind wandered, whispering under the breath that her behavior showed a greater need within her growing desire. And so, tension was in the air. In a low husky voice, he asked, "What do you want to eat?" His voice was only a distraction; it was mostly a distraction for the question that burned within him.Sera's gaze floated downwards, searching for the hidden answers to Enzo's questions upon the surface of the tiled floor.Mischief danced in Sera's eyes as she slowly turned toward Enzo, an innocent smile plastered on her face, causing his heart to race with anticipation as he leaned in closer. In a sultry voice, Enzo whispered, "What about now? I take you into the bedroom, hold your waist in my hands, slide your panties off, and fuck you so hard until all yo

    Enzo's walk into the backyard took a long time in coming, for now, his feet were running down to a place where nothing would ever be the same. As he turned the corner, Enzo's sight landed on Sera, tied to a tree, her delicate body tortured with ropes; a near-mocking semblance of a killer beast. His heart stopped, every breath in his throat, his eyes glutted with the view. "No, this cannot be happening to my baby," he whispered to himself, the breath of his words just, and with that he ran toward Sera, his legs moving as fast as they could.Enzo thought that time was crawling as he trotted toward Sera; his eyes remained glued to the girl in her fragile form, worrying him sick. He could easily perceive the fear within her eyes, tears drenched down her cheeks, even the way she bucked with all her strength in a desperate attempt to free herself from the bonds that held her.The fingers of Enzo shook with both fury and apprehension viewing him as he moved to untie Sera, so gentle and pain

    "Sera …." Marco shouted, his voice sprawling in that desolate space, but before it would spread further, Mr Tony sprang into action, covering Williams' mouth with his hand, right in the fraction of a second, as if expecting this danger that might be hiding behind every shadow."Do you know her?" Jessica asked in a weak voice with a very minute pitch, as if her experiences had drained her of all energies.Enzo's eyes softened, his lips curling into a soft smile, the seams of his features glowing bright with expression, as in low and measured tones, he replied, "Yes, I do know her; she is my girlfriend," the words tumbling into view amidst a mixture of affection and longing.His words were colored with pride and underlined just how deep the feeling was, but immediately was Mr Tony's rejoinder, his tone laced with skepticism: "I have never heard Sera say you guys are in a relationship," he said, his words hanging in the air, a challenge.Enzo's smile flickered for a moment; the defens

    "I just heard the cry of someone," Jude whispered in a low, urgent voice to Enzo and Williams; wide-eyed and full of concern, as the faint sound seemed to reverberate deep within his chest."Let's trace the cry," Marco suggested, his voice barely above a whisper. His words hung in the air like a fragile thread as the trio nodded as one, their hearts pounding in anticipation.They moved with sluggish deliberateness, their tracing of the faint sound through the deserted warehouse; their footsteps echoed off the walls-the only sound that broke the oppressive silence.The cry grew louder, more desperate, leading them upstairs to the uncompleted second story-a labyrinth of exposed beams and dusty concrete that seemed to stretch on forever.They ascended to the top, just about bouncily, soft-hopping to avoid making much noise, their senses at height when they reached the top, where the outline of something shrouded in a black cloth met their gaze."What's this?" asked Tony, his finger point

    He immediately sent one of his men, Timothy, to get the GPS from the office. His tone was high and commanding, showing how critical the situation was and how little time they had to act."Timothy, hurry up," said Marshall, looking right into his eyes to drive the point home of how serious the matter before them was and how little time there was to act."A'right, sir," Timothy said, firm and sure, without a quiver, as he immediately snatched up his keys and raced out the door to accomplish what he had to do in the most timely manner possible.Williams, Enzo, Tony, and Marshall were then left sitting anxiously waiting for the return of Timothy while consumed by thoughts of Sera and the search-each person lost in his own thoughts and fears about the outcome of such.Every passing minute felt like an eternity, each being taken further into a different endless void of uncertainty, unanswered questions, and anxiety that deepened the cut.The strong silence was filled with anticipation and

    "Good morning," said Marshall and the rest, all smiles, their faces beaming with optimism and reassurance-a look that was quite soothing to Enzo's frayed nerves."Good morning," returned Enzowith appreciation in his tone as he welcomed the team into the house, hoping their skills finally gave him the answers he had so longed for over the disappearance of Sera ."It appears you have just woken up," interpreted Williams, brow furrowed with concern, eyes doing a scrutiny of Enzo's worn countenance."Yeah, your call woke me up," Enzo said, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, still trying to shake off the remnants of a restless night."Ah, so sorry, sir," Marco apologized, looking contrite, his voice full of empathy.Enzo waved his hand in a dismissive manner, a gesture indicating appreciation for Williams' concern."No need to apologize, Marco," Enzosaid."We need to get started, and I'm glad you're here to help us find Sera ."Enzo's eyes did a sweep of the room, locking eyes with Marsha
