view more"What is this place?"I stepped inside, my gaze sweeping across the room. Past the main entrance, a large glass wall stood before me, allowing a full view inside. A laboratory. A fume hood buzzed with ongoing experiments, while shelves lined with bottles and test tubes filled with colorful liquids occupied the space. Bright white lights reflected off the stainless steel surfaces dominating the workstations.David walked to a brown cabinet at the far end of the room, pulling out a white lab coat along with gloves and a mask."Put this on," he said, handing me a full protective suit.I hesitated before taking it. "What are we doing?"David slipped into his lab coat, fastening the buttons as he let out a deep sigh. "Answering your questions about this place."I remained silent, staring at the lab coat in my hands with confusion. My eyes shifted between it and David, who was already securing his mask in place."Do I… really have to wear this?" I asked hesitantly.David stepped closer with
"Is it hurt?" David asked in a low voice, almost a whisper. His hand gently brushed over the red wound on my neck, as if carefully examining each mark.The dim light cast soft shadows on the walls, creating an intimate and thoughtful atmosphere. I lay there, my face slightly lowered, while David, lying beside me, observed the faint wound with a worried expression.I took a slow breath before giving a slight nod. "A little."For a moment, our eyes locked, and in that silence, there was something deeper than words. I could see the concern in his eyes—so genuine, so real. Slowly, David lowered his head, pressing his lips gently against my forehead, as if trying to soothe any pain I might be feeling.I closed my eyes, letting that warmth seep into my chest, calming something that had long felt sore."I hope everything will be alright," I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. "Not just for me, but for you too."When I opened my eyes, David was smiling. His hand was still resting gentl
The car stopped at the service area. A bodyguard who had been sitting in the front seat shifted his position and was now sitting next to me. His movements were calm, but there was something in his eyes that made me wary.“What's going on?” I asked, trying to sound casual.The bodyguard didn't answer immediately. He pulled a box from the back of the chair, opened it and pulled out a pair of handcuffs.“Sorry, ma'am. This is an order.”He cuffed both my hands, then pulled the chain and locked it to the car door handle.“What are you doing?!” I shouted, panicked and confused.“When we get there you can ask Mr.David.” He said casually but firmly. In addition to the handcuffs, he pulled a black kalin out of the box. Then he pulled the cloth over my face and shut my eyes tightly.“What the hell are you doing?!” I struggled, panicking, trying to pull my hands away, but to no avail. The cuffs were tight.Before I could scream again, the cloth had shut my eyes, completely blocking my vision. It
Carlos' words don't reveal any evidence – they're just riddles that leave you more confused. Who was the madman he was referring to, and what secrets did he know?The criminal seemed to be playing games with me, but the words that came out of his mouth seemed to know a lot about the secret.My hands were getting cold, while my mind was trying to find the answer to every riddle Carlos gave.Mr.Raymond approached me just as I closed the door. "So, Miss Harper, what were you talking about inside?" he asked.I swallowed. "He was talking nonsense.""What did he tell you about why he wants to shoot you?"I shook my head. "No, he didn't. He was more like hallucinating."
"Hey, Ma'am." A detective approached me in the medical room. "We are really sorry for what happened to you. We will make sure this doesn't happen again."I gently touched my neck, which was red and throbbing with pain. The imprint of his fingers still lingered on my skin. Finally, I responded, "Yeah, thanks, Sir." I took a deep breath. "What about him?""He is receiving proper medical care." The detective smiled, then pulled a small white card from his pocket and handed it to me.Harry Raymond.A business card with a name and phone number."If you ever need help, you can call me," Mr. Raymond said. "And I hope you won't refuse when I call on you for more information."I reached for the card with a trem
I was worried and sat up straight, ready for anything. The cold air made me feel tense. My breathing got faster, as if I was afraid of the questions.The two detectives sat in front of me, staring intently at my face, and I looked back at them, feeling nervous.One of the detectives took out a photo from the CCTV footage.It showed me getting out of a black car during the mass shooting in front of my office a few days ago.I felt my breath catch and I swallowed deeply.“We saw you on the CCTV during the mass shooting in front of your office,” he pointed at my face in the picture. ”Your car was right in front of the victim's car, and it looks like you were in the car for quite a while.” He looked at me, his eyes narrowed. “What were you doing in the car?”I sighed. “I was meeting a friend. He said he was going to pass by my workplace. So I met him in his car.” I said, trying not to be nervous.The two detectives hadn't said anything yet. They
The lift opened and I got out, walking down the tenth floor's corridor. The usual coffee smell filled the air.I felt my heart beat faster when everyone looked at me in a way that showed they liked me. Some people smiled in a way they never had before, as if they had found something I had said that they liked.That day, the atmosphere felt different, and I felt a little less stressed.The video I uploaded to the public website received sympathy from the public, who liked it and said that my articles and opinions were acceptable.The positives I got outweighed the negatives.“Hey, congrats!” some of my teammates said, hugging me.I didn't know how to respond, but I guess a slight smile would have shown that I was proud of myself, because this was beyond my expectations.
My phone rang repeatedly, disturbing my sleep. When I looked at it, I saw that Jack had sent me dozens of messages. Some of my colleagues had also sent messages, containing something I did not understand. I woke up still with bleary eyes, picked up my glasses on the table and opened the messages one by one.When I opened one message from Jack, my eyes widened.I raised my glasses, hoping I hadn't read it wrong. “This is crazy,” I muttered. I grabbed the laptop on the table and opened it. The article I'd written the night before had been read by over a million people, and had received over a hundred thousand comments.My hands were shaking a bit as I scrolled through the screen, reading the various responses.Then my phone vibrated. It was David.I picked it up straight away. “Hello?”“Are you waking up?” the voice sounded casual.“Yes, I just woke up, and–”“I read your article.” Her tone was flat.There was a pause before he finally said, “Thanks, Hanna.”I smiled. That made me feel be
I shut my room's door tightly. Then, I carelessly set my high heels aside. Then i took out the photos I kept in my dress. There were three different pictures that David had given me. I stared at them, feeling a heavy weight pressing against my chest.In the third photo, there was a line of doctors in white coats standing in a formal-looking formation.I looked closely at their faces. Then, on the far left, there was Dr.John.I quickly opened my laptop. I opened the article I had read about the doctors from Greece who were sent home suddenly. The photos of the five doctors in the article were the same as the five Greek doctors in the photo I was holding.I covered my mouth with my hand, unable to believe what I had found. Everything was about the case of David and his fam
I stood in the midst of all the people dancing to the music that could be heard all the way to the end of the island. A glass of champagne was clutched in one hand and still full, I hadn't had a sip. My eyes were fixed on the object that was the reason I was on this island. David Alexander Thomas, the man rumoured to have an illegal business with blood on his hands. His name was always in my head when I received this business. He stood at the centre of the conversation, surrounded by several women with fake smiles.This man was not just a target. He was a threat, someone who operated under the shadow of the law, with rumours of a business full of blood and dark secrets. I decided to approach him.I gulped down my drink and placed my empty glass on a nearby table, then began to step quietly towards him. As we got closer, he turned his head, as if he noticed me before I even spoke. His smile was small, but there was a sharp look in his eyes.“Mr.David,” I said in a casual tone, as if w...
