2024-10-29 19:42:56In a far off country, a ship was strolling through the sea. The air was biting cold while the water was icy. The cold wind hit the ship and an eerie silence engulfed the whole place.
There were only a handful of people on the large ship. It was not for passengers but a private ship built for only research purposes. The crew were on the lower deck, busy working on the ship. Their big boss was on the upper deck and they were all nervous.
“How long will this expedition last?” one of the sailors asked.
“I don’t know!” his partner muttered. “The boss is looking for something and is desperate to find it. He switched off all his phones and cut off contacts because he’s obsessed with this thing he’s trying to find.”<

“Hmm,” Malorie said thoughtfully. “He warned you about Jenna?”“Yes!” Alya exclaimed. “Cain told me to be careful of her. It came out of nowhere! Why would he be nice to me?”They were at a cafe which was not far from Alya’s office. Malorie told her to meet her there for lunch so that Alya could fill her in on what Cain told her.“This is worrying,” Malorie muttered. “If Cain warned you then it means she’s up to something. You should be careful. Don’t go anywhere alone!”I wouldn’t worry about that, Alya said in her head. Aloud she said, “Don’t worry about me. I’ll be careful. But Cain saying this is rea

Jason and Cain sped towards the factory. Cain was on the phone with his men, giving them instructions.“My men just informed me that Heath Seo was spotted outside that factory we’re heading to,” Cain told him. “How did you know he’d be there?”“I just do,” Jason muttered.

Jason pulled up in front of a restaurant when he suddenly felt the familiar sensation in his heart.“Agh!” he winced when his chest became cold. He was gasping for breath and closed his eyes to lay his head on the steering wheel.“What the hell?” he muttered. “Why is that sensation happening again?”He touched his heart and it was colder than the earlier attacks. Jason was sure that it was a warning sign and that Alya was in immense danger. Flashes of her running through the rain were popping in his head.“Why is she outside?” he whispered. He was so engrossed in his pain that he did not notice a familiar Maybach pulling up behind his car. There was a knock on his window and to his surprise, it was Cain.

Malorie quietly followed Cain to the patio and waited for him to talk. He was quiet for a while before turning to face her.“You should have told me about this,” he began. “That my mom was threatening you. We could have worked something out.”“I wanted to find our child first,” she replied in a small tone. “If I had told you, she might have gotten alerted and killed Billy. I couldn’t take the risk.”Cain stared at her for a while before sighing. “We’re both idiots,” he muttered. “We talk about being on our own but in the end, we let my parents manipulate us…”Malorie was staring at her fingers, unable to understand what to do.
