They all turned and began running. Just as they reached the entrance, the bomb detonated. The explosion ripped through the air, shaking the ground beneath their feet. A deafening roar swallowed their screams as the building collapsed.

Zach barely had time to react. He was thrown back by the sheer force of the blast, crashing to the ground along with the police officers. The world around him became a blur of dust, smoke, and crumbling debris. Pain shot through his body as he landed hard on the cold floor, his arms instinctively bracing for impact. His hands and legs burned from the force, even though he wore a protective suit. It didn’t matter. The damage had been done.

Around him, the police officers lay scattered. Some were crushed under the weight of fallen concrete blocks, others impaled by sharp shards of metal. Moans of pain filled the air, but none of them were dead—yet. The blast had spared their lives, though at a steep cost.

Zach struggled to push himself up, his limbs t

    Anna struggled to pull Zach up, her muscles trembling with the effort as she dragged his limp body toward the car. Just when she thought she'd collapse, a masked man stepped out of the vehicle, his movements swift yet deliberate. Without a word, he grabbed Zach's other arm, and together, they lifted him into the back seat. Anna quickly slipped in beside Zach, her heart pounding in her chest.The masked man took the driver’s seat and, without hesitation, floored the gas pedal. The car zoomed forward, its tires screeching on the asphalt."We need to get to the hospital. Fast," Anna urged, her voice edged with panic.“That’s exactly where we’re heading,” the man replied, his tone calm but firm.Anna squinted, her nerves taut, unsure of who this stranger was. Her mind raced with questions. As she bit her lip, she finally gave in to curiosity. “Who...who are you?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.The man reached up, tugging at the mask. As it came off, Anna’s breath caught in h

    After Chris finished his phone call, he turned to the men standing around, his voice cold and sharp.“Hey, watch her. Make sure nothing goes wrong. If anything does, you're screwed."He didn’t wait for a response. His orders were final, and everyone knew it. Without a second glance, he strode out of the room, his long coat trailing behind him. I heard the engine of his car rumble to life, the sound vibrating through the walls. And just like that, he was gone, leaving me alone with these brutes.One of the men stepped forward, the one in charge now. His face twisted into a sickening grin, one that made my stomach turn. The moment Chris left, his demeanor changed entirely, as if he’d been waiting for this moment.I stared at him, refusing to show any fear. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that fear gives them power. The second they sense weakness, they pounce. And I wasn’t going to give him that satisfaction.He crouched down in front of me, his breath reeking of c

    I looked at Chris, then at the men. Their expressions were clear—I could see fear etched on their faces. It was ironic, really. A short while ago, these same men had danced around me in mockery, taunting me, laughing as if I were a joke. Now, I stood there, watching them tremble in fear. The power shift was overwhelming. I didn’t want them to drop dead like they were cursed, but the thought crossed my mind. What if? What if they fell? What if I could make them pay for how they humiliated me? I clenched my fists, lowering my head to avoid their eyes. The heaviness of Chris’s presence lingered, but I kept my silence. I couldn’t let myself be consumed by the moment, no matter how tempting it was. Chris’s eyes stayed on me, unwavering. “Come on, Audrey, don’t be scared. I promise they won’t hurt you. Just tell me what happened.” His words were calm, but I knew better. There was a tension there, a coiled spring waiting to snap. I could feel it in the air. The others could feel it to

    Hearing the low rumble of the car approaching, my heart pounded in my chest. This was it. The chance I’d been waiting for. Freedom was so close I could almost taste it, but I couldn’t afford to make a mistake. Every second mattered. I darted out of the building, my legs moving faster than I’d ever thought possible. Cold air hit my face, snapping me into focus. As I neared the gates, my instincts screamed at me not to run. If they saw me sprinting, they'd know something was wrong.I scanned my surroundings, frantic. There—a large drum near the gates. Without thinking, I dove behind it, pressing my back against the cold metal, my breath coming in sharp, shallow bursts. I held my breath as the car slowed to a stop right in front of me. My pulse thundered in my ears, threatening to give me away.The car doors creaked open, and I peeked through a small gap between the drum and the wall. I could see their legs—five men, all of them armed. The leader, a tall man with a scar that ran from his

    Audrey raised her trembling hands in defense as Chris's grip tightened around her throat. The cold muzzle of the gun pressed hard against her temple, sending waves of fear through her entire body.“Chris... please... let me go,” Audrey pleaded, her voice barely above a whisper. Her eyes searched his, desperate for the man she once knew, but all she found was rage.Chris's lip curled into a sneer. “Shut up, you ungrateful bitch!” His voice cracked with fury. “After everything I did for you... this is how you repay me? I killed for you, Audrey. I killed!” His grip tightened, making it harder for her to breathe.Audrey's heart pounded in her chest as the weight of his words sank in. The Chris she knew was gone, replaced by someone she barely recognized.“Stop this, Chris!” Zach’s voice echoed. He stepped forward cautiously, hands raised in a gesture of peace. “Just let her go.”Chris laughed—a harsh, cruel sound. “Let her go? You think it’s that simple? Shut up, Zach! One more word, and

    “Shut up, you ungrateful bitch!” His voice cracked with fury. “After everything I did for you... this is how you repay me? I killed for you, Audrey. I killed!”Audrey gasped, her chest rising and falling rapidly as the weight of her past memories hit her like a wave, forcing her upright. She wiped the sweat off her forehead, her breath coming in shallow bursts, a cold sweat breaking out across her skin. The room felt too small, too confining. With a heavy sigh, she finally stood, trying to shake off the haunting scene replaying in her mind—Chris being shot, over and over again. Each repetition was a dagger, stabbing at her sanity.She forced herself into the bathroom to brush her teeth and shower, hoping the routine would clear her mind. The familiar motions usually provided some solace, a semblance of normalcy amid the chaos. But as she brushed, an unsettling irritation crept into her chest, tightening like a noose. Her mind betrayed her, still replaying Chris’s death, his eyes wide

    Never mind; she’s just a child, I thought, trying to brush off the weight of the moment.I stood up, still in shock from the recent events swirling in my mind. With shaky breaths, I walked to catch up with Zach, my heart thumping loudly in my chest. As I walked, I admired the internal structure of the house around me. The chandeliers hung like sparkling stars, casting soft light that danced across the walls. They were beautiful—there were so many of them, each unique in its design, shimmering like jewels. The house was massive and wide, a labyrinth of rooms and hallways that seemed to stretch on forever, filled with the echoes of laughter and memories yet to be made.Finally, I caught up to them—Anna, Zach, Jake, and his adorable daughter, Chloe, who seemed to harbor a deep-seated resentment toward me. The air around us felt heavy, charged with the unspoken tension between Chloe and me.When I arrived, chloe turned and glared at me, her little face twisted in contempt, a fierce expres

    I laid on the bed, my mind swirling with thoughts of Chloe. The events of the day had left me drained, yet sleep wouldn’t come. The soft, ambient hum of the night filled the room, and the bed beneath me felt unfamiliar, like I wasn’t meant to rest here—at least not yet. Just as my heavy eyelids started to close, a sudden knock broke the stillness, pulling me from the edges of sleep and back into the present moment.“Who is it?” I asked reluctantly, my voice betraying how little energy I had left. I swung my legs over the side of the bed, the coolness of the floor meeting my feet as I stood, slightly annoyed by the interruption. Slowly, I made my way to the door, my movements sluggish and unsteady, as if the very air in the room was too thick to move through.When I opened the door, I was greeted by the sight of a butler standing in the dimly lit hallway, my luggage in his hands. His presence startled me for a moment. It wasn’t often that I interacted with the staff, especially after s

    THE NEXT MORNINGI woke feeling refreshed and full of anticipation for the day ahead. The previous night with Zach had been unforgettable—one that would remain etched in my memory forever.Sliding out of bed, I stretched and headed to the bathroom to freshen up. The soft sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm glow across the room. Once in the bathroom, I began to undress for a shower, savoring the quiet moment of solitude.But the peace didn’t last long.The door creaked open, and Zach stepped in casually, his mischievous smile lighting up his face.“Zach! What are you doing here?” I asked, trying to cover myself with a towel.“I want to take a shower with you,” he said, completely unfazed by my protest.I narrowed my eyes, trying to look stern, but a smile tugged at the corners of my lips. “Really? Now, of all times? You’re one naughty man, Zach.”He grinned, pulling me close by my waist. The warmth of his touch melted my resolve, and soon the rest of the morning became

    I walked into the big organization, hoping I would find Zach in his office.Once inside, I headed straight to the counter and found the same rude lady who had called the guard on us the last time.“You,” she said, quickly recognizing me. “What are you doing here? Hope you're not going to cause a scene.”“Shut the fuck up,” I yelled. “I’m here to see my husband, Zach.”The woman chuckled. “Husband? I thought Mr. Zach made it clear last time that he doesn’t have a wife.”I glared at her as my patience wore thin. I could feel the urge to slap her rising within me.“That’s because he didn’t know I was the one coming to see him,” I snapped. “Now, before my patience snaps, tell me: is Mr. Zach in his office? I’m not standing here to explain myself more than I already have.”“Sorry, ma’am, but you can’t see him,” she replied.I heaved a heavy sigh. “And why is that?” I asked, my eyes already turning red with frustration.“It’s because Mr. Zach didn’t come to work.”“What do you mean he hasn’

    AUDREY'S POVI was wrongly accused of cheating, and I couldn't do anything to defend myself. My hands trembled as I stood up from my chair, tears stinging my eyes. The room felt suffocating, but my anger gave me strength.I marched up to Frank, my vision blurring with fury, and delivered a hard slap across his face.“How dare you slap my son!” Keira shot up from her seat, her voice shrill and cutting through the tension.But I wasn’t in the mood for her antics. I turned to her, my voice firm and unyielding. “Quiet!”She froze, her eyes widening as she saw the anger burning in mine. I caught a flicker of fear in her gaze before she sat back down.Turning my attention back to Frank, I grabbed his collar, my voice trembling but forceful. “Tell them! Tell them that everything you just said is a lie!”His smirk only fueled my rage, and I slapped him again, harder this time.“You were the one who came to my room last night!” I accused. “You tried to force yourself on me, and when I kicked y

    FRANK'S POVAfter Nora had given that beautiful night of pleasure, there was nothing I wouldn’t do for her. The memory lingered in my mind as I left my room, a sense of satisfaction and purpose fueling my steps. I needed more of her.But for now, I had another task to handle. I began heading toward Audrey's room.Once I arrived, I stood outside her door and heaved a heavy sigh. My fist hovered for a moment before I knocked firmly on the door.********Audrey’s night had already been ruined once, thanks to Nora. The bitter memory of being interrupted still burned in her mind. She had finally managed to drift back to sleep when another knock echoed through the room.Groaning, she sat up, her eyes heavy with exhaustion.“I swear, if it’s Nora again, I’ll rip her skull apart,” she muttered, rubbing her temples.Dragging herself out of bed, she made her way to the door, each step fueled by irritation.

    I stared at her as a smile tugged at the corner of my lips. I began walking, wanting to go inside, but she held me by the neck and pushed me back outside."I said, what do you want, Nora?"She sneered at me again."Nothing much," I replied. "Just came to say congratulations. I heard you're getting married, and I just want to say you better watch your back. There are lots of problems which come to many people on their wedding day. Lots of problems."After speaking, I could see her clenching her jaw in anger, and the satisfaction I had was indescribable."See you later," I said lastly as I turned and began walking away down the hallway. I heard the door slam shut with a heavy thud, and I couldn't help but give a slight chuckle.You don't know what's coming your way, Audrey, I thought. I'm your worst nightmare.While I kept walking down the hallway, I stumbled across a room. Music came coming out from the room—it was loud, and I knew only one person could be this dumb: my pawn, Frank.I

    I stared at her, tightening my jaw unintentionally. My anger flared up, but I kept it under control.“Jake, what happened to your house? How come it's on fire? Oh my God, Jake, what are you going to do?” Nora said, her voice filled with panic as she began acting.Her expression changed into a sad one, and tears welled up in her eyes.Wow, this girl is a good actor, I thought. Why didn't she go into the movie industry instead of trying to steal other people's husbands?Jake placed his hands over his head and bent down.“Don’t worry, Jake. Everything will be fine, okay? Just calm down. Calm down, okay?” I reassured him.“No, Audrey,” Jake said. “Everything’s not gonna be okay. That house was handed to me months ago, and here I am hearing it’s been burnt to nothing but ash. Where am I going to stay? How am I going to live, Audrey?”I glanced at Zach. His expression was perfectly composed, but I noticed the subtle twitch of his lips as he tried to hold back laughter. I knew it was because

    My brother had told me about a girl he wanted to be his life partner. He said he was going to bring her home so I could meet her, and surprisingly, it was that good-for-nothing Nora.I stood there momentarily shocked. Nora stood there smiling at me, while Jake wore an opulent smile on his face.I clenched my fists as my jaw tightened. I didn't hesitate for a second. I stormed toward her, not caring about Jake's presence or what he would think. I raised my hands and slapped Nora across the face.The slap tilted her face to one side, and she held her cheek."AUDREY! What's wrong with you? Why did you slap Nora?" Jake said as he held Nora tight in his arms."Never mind him," my eyes kept staring at Nora. "So because you couldn't get Zach, you wormed your way into my brother's life?""AUDREY, what are you talking about? Nora is my girlfriend. We've been dating for months now!"

    I walked out of the warehouse soon after Frank and strolled down the road to hail a cab home. I knew my plan was a solid one, and there’d be no room for pitfalls.With each step, a smile tugged at the corner of my lips. A family of fools, I thought. They're so gullible.I saw a taxi approaching and quickly flicked my hand to signal the driver to pull over. As soon as he stopped, I got into the car and closed the door.The rest of the journey was pleasant, filled with thoughts of my plan in motion. Soon enough, the taxi pulled up at the street leading to my house.With deliberate steps, I walked down my street toward my house. Once I reached the front door, I searched my bag for my keys. Surprisingly, I couldn’t find them.“Where could I have put it?” I muttered under my breath.My mind quickly darted back to the warehouse. Shit, I cursed. I had been so focused on my plans that I’d forgotten my keys there.I sighed. “What am I going to do now? Should I spend the night at Jake's?” An id

    Frank’s sharp gaze pinned Nora in place as he leaned against the edge of the desk, arms crossed. “Has the plan started?, what do you mean the plan 's started? " A sly smile spread across Nora’s lips. She tilted her head slightly as she took a slow step toward him, the heels of her shoes clicking softly against the tiled floor. “Oh, baby boy, I’ve got two pawns up my sleeve now—oops, sorry, allies.” Her voice dripped with mock sweetness, but her eyes betrayed the cunning behind her words.Frank’s jaw tightened. “I’m not your pawn, Nora,” he said, his voice firm and edged with warning.She blinked innocently, placing a manicured hand over her chest. “Did I say you were my pawn?” she asked, feigning surprise. “It was just a slip of the tongue.”Frank took a step closer, the air between them crackling with unspoken tension. His voice dropped, low and threatening. “I know very well that wasn’t a slip of the tongue, Nora. You meant every word.”For a moment, she faltered, her smile flicker
