Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 74: In the Shadow of Death
The world was a haze of pain and darkness as Ashley drifted in and out of consciousness. Time lost all meaning; seconds felt like hours, and hours like days. Voices echoed around her, distant and distorted, as if she were underwater. She tried to focus, to cling to some sense of reality, but every attempt was met with a wave of pain that threatened to pull her back into the abyss.When she finally opened her eyes, she found herself in a small, dimly lit room. The walls were bare, the only furniture a single bed on which she lay and a rickety wooden chair in the corner. Her body ached all over, the sharp sting in her side a constant reminder of her injury. She tried to sit up, but the effort sent a jolt of agony through her torso, and she collapsed back onto the bed with a groan.The door creaked open, and a figure stepped inside. It was Jackson, his face a mixture of relief and worry as he hurried to her side.“Ashley,” he said softly, kneeling beside the bed. “Thank God, you’re awake
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 75: Under a Fragile Truce
Ashley woke to the sound of hushed voices. For a moment, she wasn’t sure where she was or what had happened. The room was dim, the only light coming from a small lamp on a nearby table. Her body ached, the pain in her side a constant, throbbing reminder of her injury. But she was alive, and the fear that had gripped her before she blacked out had receded slightly.Slowly, she turned her head toward the source of the voices. Jackson and Victor were speaking quietly in the corner of the room, their faces obscured by the shadows. Amelia sat beside her, her hand still wrapped around Ashley’s, her eyes heavy with worry and exhaustion.Ashley tried to speak, but her throat was dry and her voice cracked. Amelia immediately turned to her, her expression softening with relief. “Ashley,” she whispered, squeezing her hand gently. “You’re awake.”Ashley managed a weak smile. “How long…?” she asked, her voice barely audible.“Just a few hours,” Amelia replied, brushing a strand of hair away from A
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 76: The Calm Before the Storm
The following morning, Ashley woke to a muted sunrise filtering through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. Her body still ached, but the pain was less intense, and her mind felt clearer. She shifted slightly, careful not to disturb Amelia, who was curled up beside her, still fast asleep.The events of the previous night played through her mind, a tangled web of fear, anger, and confusion. Victor’s plan to escape the city offered a sliver of hope, but it was fraught with uncertainty. Trusting a stranger, especially one with ties to the criminal underworld, was dangerous. But staying put was even riskier.Ashley sighed softly, the weight of her situation pressing down on her. She couldn’t afford to let her emotions cloud her judgment. Every decision from this point on had to be calculated, precise, with no room for error.Her thoughts were interrupted by the quiet creak of the door opening. Jackson stepped inside, his gaze immediately falling on Ashley. He gave her a small
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 77: A Desperate Flight
The plane rocketed down the runway, the engines roaring as it picked up speed. The rattling of bullets against the fuselage sent chills down Ashley’s spine, but she forced herself to keep her eyes forward, focusing on the horizon. The cabin was tense, the air thick with fear and adrenaline.Amelia’s hand was clutched tightly in Ashley’s, her knuckles white from the grip. She stared straight ahead, her face pale, eyes wide with shock and disbelief. Ashley could feel her sister trembling beside her, and she squeezed her hand in an attempt to offer some semblance of comfort.As the plane lifted off the ground, a brief moment of relief washed over Ashley. They were airborne, escaping the chaos below. But that relief was short-lived. She knew the danger was far from over. Adonis wouldn’t let them go so easily.Jackson’s voice crackled through the intercom, his tone urgent. “We’re not out of this yet. Stay buckled in. This could get rough.”The plane climbed higher, leaving the airstrip and

The plane continued to soar through the night sky, leaving behind the wreckage of the helicopter that had nearly sealed their fate. The tension in the cabin was palpable, the silence heavy with unanswered questions. Ashley’s mind raced, replaying the events of the past few minutes over and over again. Who had fired that missile? And why? Amelia remained huddled close to Ashley, her breath shallow as she tried to calm herself. The terror of their narrow escape still gripped her, and Ashley could feel her sister’s fear as if it were her own. But amidst the fear, there was also a flicker of hope. They were still alive, and for now, that was enough.Jackson’s voice came over the intercom again, his tone measured but laced with an underlying tension. “We’re clear for now, but we need to make an emergency landing. This plane wasn’t built for dogfights, and I’m not risking another encounter.”Ashley nodded, even though she knew Jackson couldn’t see her. “Where will we land?”“There’s a smal
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 79: Into the Lion’s Den
The night seemed darker as the minutes ticked by, each second pulling Ashley deeper into a world she never imagined she’d be part of. The cold metal of the chair she sat on seeped through her clothes, but it was the icy fear in her heart that truly chilled her. Across the table, Victor and Jackson continued to discuss their next move, but Ashley’s mind was elsewhere.Amelia sat close by, her eyes glazed with exhaustion and fear. Ashley reached out, taking her sister’s hand in hers, offering what little comfort she could. They had been through so much already, but she feared the worst was still to come.Victor’s voice cut through her thoughts. “We have to assume Adonis knows you’re alive. He’ll double his efforts to find you now that you’ve slipped through his fingers.”Ashley nodded, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside her. “What’s our next step? We can’t just keep running.”Victor leaned forward, his sharp eyes locking onto hers. “No, you can’t. But you also can’t face Adonis
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 81: Unseen Shadows
The car ride back from Nikolai Petrov’s fortress was tense, silence hanging heavy in the air. Victor sat in the front seat, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, while Jackson kept a vigilant watch on their surroundings. Ashley and Amelia were in the back, the reality of their situation weighing on them like an anchor.Amelia leaned into Ashley, her voice barely a whisper. “Do you think we made the right decision?”Ashley’s mind raced with the implications of their agreement. Nikolai’s help would be invaluable, but his price—a debt to be collected when he saw fit—was a sword hanging over their heads. Still, they had no other choice. With Adonis hunting them down, they needed every advantage they could get.“We didn’t have a choice,” Ashley replied, her voice firm. “Nikolai’s our best shot at surviving this. We’ll deal with the consequences when the time comes.”Amelia nodded, though her expression remained troubled. “I just hope we’re strong enough to face what’s coming.”Ashley squeezed
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 82: The Wolf’s Den
The cold night air bit at their skin as they pushed through the thick forest. Every snap of a twig, every rustle in the bushes felt like a harbinger of doom. Ashley gripped Amelia’s hand tightly, guiding her sister through the dark terrain, while Victor and Jackson scouted ahead, ever vigilant.Their flight from the compromised safe house had been harrowing, and the reality of their situation was beginning to settle in. They were hunted, and the shadows that followed them were closing in fast. “Where are we going?” Amelia whispered, her voice trembling.Victor turned back briefly, his eyes scanning the area before answering. “There’s another safe house, deeper in the forest. It’s isolated, not even Nikolai knows about it. We’ll be safe there—for a while.”Ashley’s mind raced. If Victor had a hidden safe house that even Nikolai Petrov didn’t know about, it meant one of two things: either Victor didn’t trust Nikolai, or he was smart enough to anticipate every possible betrayal. She hop
