Anna's POV

I woke up to find myself in a dimly lit room, the air thick with tension and the faint smell of dampness. As my eyes adjusted to the dim light, I realized that I was not alone. Victor, my love and partner, was beside me, also stirring from his slumber. Confusion and alarm flashed across his face as he took in our surroundings.

"Anna, what's going on? Where are we?" Victor's voice held a mix of concern and determination, a reflection of the emotions swirling within me.

    Anna's POVI stood in Victor's lavish office, my heart pounding in my chest, as the realization sank in. The person I trusted most, the one who had been by Victor's side through thick and thin, was nothing more than a double agent, a traitor working against us all along. The evidence was undeniable, and I felt a mix of anger, betrayal, and disbelief coursing through my veins."Markus," I uttered his name, my voice trembling with a mixture of shock and disappointment. "How could you do this? How could you betray us?"Markus, a man I had known for years and considered a friend, looked at me with cold, calculating eyes. There was no remorse, only a twisted sense of satisfaction in his gaze. "Anna, my dear, you should know by now that loyalty is a fickle thing in our world.

But what intrigued me the most was the emblem on the envelope—a symbol I had seen before, but couldn't quite place.With trembling hands, I carefully opened the envelope, revealing a single sheet of paper. The words written on it were stark and menacing: "Time to pay for your sins, Victor. I have what you treasure most, and I won't hesitate to use her against you."My breath caught in my throat as I read the words again, each syllable resonating with a chilling certainty. Someone from Victor's past had resurfaced, someone with a vendetta against him, and they were now targeting me as a means to draw him out.I rushed to Victor's office, the letter clutched tightly in my hand. I found him engrossed in a stack of paperwork, his brow furrowed in concentration. The room was adorned with reminders of his succes
