WHY ME Chapter 78
**Escaping the Lion’s Den**The cold Berlin air stung as Ayesha and her team emerged from the underground stairwell, their bodies tense, adrenaline still pumping through their veins.They had the data.They had escaped.But they weren’t safe. Not yet.Behind them, the sound of shouting and heavy boots echoed in the stairwell. The guards were coming.Priya’s voice crackled through the earpiece. “They’re tracking you. You need to keep moving.”Ayesha took a sharp breath, gripping the encrypted drive in her pocket.Failure wasn’t an option.“Ravi,” she called, “where’s the car?”“Two blocks down,” he answered, scanning the streets. “We need to go. Now.”They sprinted into the darkness, weaving through the industrial alleyways, their footsteps muffled by the thick fog settling over the city.The Chase BeginsAyesha could hear their pursuers behind them—fast, organized, and relentless.Davos had prepared for their infiltration, but he hadn’t expected them to escape with the data.Now, his

**The Firestarter**The world had been thrust into chaos. The first signs of the financial collapse were subtle—small ripples in stock markets, a few percentage drops here and there. But then, like a tsunami gaining momentum, the tremors became earthquakes.Ayesha sat in the middle of the safe house, her fingers trembling slightly as she read the news reports flashing on her screen. Panic was beginning to take hold of the global financial systems, and Davos had orchestrated it all.“Phase Two is in full motion,” Priya muttered, her eyes glued to her own laptop. “We’re witnessing the first stages of what could be a total economic breakdown. It’s spreading faster than we expected.”Ayesha’s jaw clenched. They had only just discovered the extent of Davos’ plans, and now it was too late. The ripples were no longer just ripples. The world was teetering on the edge of something far darker.“This is what he’s been setting up all along,” Arman said, his tone colder than Ayesha had ever heard

**The Final Move**Berlin was alive with chaos. The financial collapse that Davos had triggered was spreading faster than even Ayesha had feared. Stock markets had halted trading. Banks were on the verge of failure. Entire governments were scrambling to stop the bleeding.And in the middle of it all, Ayesha and her team were preparing for their most dangerous mission yet.Davos thought he had won.He was wrong.The PlanInside a dimly lit safe house on the outskirts of the city, Priya worked furiously at her laptop, trying to stay ahead of Davos’ next move.“Okay,” she said, exhaling sharply. “I’ve managed to trace his command center. He’s in an underground bunker beneath the Berlin Financial District.”Leena smirked. “How cliché.”Arman studied the blueprints Priya had pulled up. “Security will be insane. There’s no way we walk in undetected.”Ayesha nodded. “We don’t need to walk in. We just need to make him think we already have.”Adrian leaned back, crossing his arms. “A psycholog

** Nowhere Left to Run**The streets of Berlin were burning. Sirens blared from every direction. The financial district was in ruins, and every news outlet in the world had the same breaking story:Ayesha Shah and her team were the most wanted criminals on the planet.Ayesha stood frozen for a split second, staring at the giant digital billboard above her.Her own face stared back."Global Terrorists Responsible for Economic Collapse.""Wanted: Ayesha Shah, Leena Shah, Adrian Blackwell, Priya Kapoor, Arman Malik, and Ravi Singh.""Dangerous. Armed. Approach with caution."Adrian swore under his breath. “We just became public enemy number one.”Leena’s voice crackled through the earpiece. "Ayesha, MOVE!"That snapped her out of it.She ran.The Hunt BeginsThe streets weren’t safe.Ayesha and Adrian weaved through alleyways, dodging patrols, moving fast but careful enough not to draw attention.Above them, drones scanned the streets with infrared detection.Below them, police barricade

** Ghosts in Istanbul**The SUV rolled into Istanbul under the cover of darkness, weaving through the city's labyrinth of narrow streets and bustling night markets. The air smelled of spice, sea breeze, and something else—uncertainty.Ayesha sat in the front seat, her body tense as she scanned their surroundings. Istanbul was a place where secrets were currency, and right now, they were the most valuable targets on the planet.Leena exhaled from the back seat. “So where’s your mysterious ‘guy’?”Adrian checked his burner phone. “He moves locations often. No paper trails. No digital footprints. Only face-to-face meetings.”Ravi, gripping the wheel, glanced at Adrian. “Sounds paranoid.”Adrian smirked. “That’s why he’s still alive.”The ContactThey arrived at a quiet dockside café just outside the Grand Bazaar. The place was nearly empty, save for a few locals drinking tea under dim yellow lights.Adrian led the way, his usual smirk replaced by caution.At a table in the back, a man sa

**The Cost of Betrayal**The safe house was eerily quiet, save for the hum of Malik’s laptop as he worked. The numbers on the screen flashed rapidly—millions disappearing from Davos’ offshore accounts every second.Ayesha watched from across the room, arms crossed. She could feel it—the shift in the game.They weren’t just running anymore.They were fighting back.But Davos wouldn’t let this stand.And that meant he was coming.The WarningPriya was the first to notice. Her laptop beeped with an incoming encrypted message.She frowned. “That’s… not good.”Ayesha walked over. “What is it?”Priya’s voice was tight. “A kill order. On Malik.”Silence.Then Malik cursed under his breath. “Well. That didn’t take long.”Adrian smirked. “You expected a thank-you card?”Ayesha didn’t hesitate. “Pack up. We need to move. Now.”Leena exhaled, grabbing her gear. “Davos isn’t just sending hitmen. He’ll send his best.”Ravi tightened his grip on his weapon. “Then we better not be here when they arr

**The Locked Room**The windows were sealed. The doors were locked. The elevator was dead.Ayesha’s heartbeat pounded in her ears as she scanned the penthouse. Davos had trapped them, and Monroe was just sitting there, watching them like it was a game.Adrian exhaled sharply. “Well. This is cozy.”Leena tilted her head. “How much time do we have before his men get here?”Priya’s voice crackled through the earpiece. “Not long. Security teams are already moving toward the penthouse.”Ayesha turned to Monroe. “Open the doors. Now.”Monroe smirked. “I don’t think so.”Ayesha grabbed the gun tucked in her waistband and aimed it directly at his head.Monroe’s smile didn’t fade.“You won’t shoot me,” he said smoothly. “I’m the only person who can tell you where Davos is.”Ayesha didn’t blink. “I’ll take my chances.”The Race Against TimePriya’s voice was urgent. “I can hack the lockdown system, but it’ll take at least five minutes.”Ayesha glanced at the security cameras embedded in the cei

**Ghosts in the Water**The cold canal water wrapped around Ayesha like a suffocating vice as she surfaced, gasping for air. The escape had worked—but just barely.Leena was already swimming toward the edge, Monroe spluttering beside her.Adrian shook the water from his face. “Remind me why we always end up jumping off things?”Leena grinned. “Keeps life exciting.”Ayesha ignored them, scanning the area. The helicopter was gone, taking the drones with it. But that didn’t mean they were safe.Davos wasn’t the type to give up.Regrouping in the ShadowsThe team pulled themselves onto a narrow dockside alley, shivering from the cold. The canal smelled of salt, oil, and city grime.Monroe collapsed onto the pavement, groaning. “I am never doing that again.”Leena smirked. “Oh, you will.”Priya’s voice crackled through their earpieces. “Good news: you lost the drones. Bad news: Davos’ men are sweeping the city looking for you.”Ayesha exhaled. They needed to disappear.Adrian glanced aroun

** A Love on the Brink**Ayesha barely had time to steady her breath before Adrian rested his forehead against hers. His hands lingered on her waist, his touch warm despite the cold night air.“This doesn’t change anything,” she whispered, though her voice lacked conviction.Adrian let out a low chuckle, his fingers tracing slow circles against her back. “You keep saying that, but I don’t believe you.”She pulled away, creating space between them. Space she desperately needed. “We can’t afford distractions right now.”Adrian’s expression darkened, the light teasing in his gaze replaced by something far more serious. “Ayesha, look around you. This war isn’t waiting for us to figure things out. We either take what little we can, or we lose everything.”She clenched her jaw, unwilling to admit how much his words rang true. She had spent her entire life choosing the fight over herself. Choosing survival over emotions.And now?Now, Adrian was forcing her to see a future she wasn’t sure sh

** A Love Caught in the Crossfire**The world outside was chaos. The remnants of battle still echoed in Ayesha’s mind—gunfire, betrayals, and the impossible return of her sister, Reva.But inside this dimly lit hideout, everything was still.For the first time in what felt like years, Ayesha wasn’t running.Wasn’t fighting.Wasn’t plotting her next move.She was just… here.With him.Zayn sat across the small, makeshift living room, wrapping his wounded arm in fresh bandages. His usually sharp, calculating eyes were softer than usual, flickering with something Ayesha hadn’t seen before.Something she wasn’t sure how to name.She swallowed. "Let me help."Zayn looked up, smirking slightly. "You? Helping? That’s new."Ayesha rolled her eyes but moved closer anyway, grabbing the bandage from his hand. He didn’t resist.She worked in silence, gently wrapping the fabric around his arm, aware of how close they were.The tension was different this time. Not from battle. Not from fear.But fr

**Whispers of the Heart**A Moment of StillnessThe night was quiet, save for the rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the shore. Ayesha stood near the balcony of their temporary hideout, overlooking the moonlit ocean. The past few days had been nothing short of chaos—escaping from the Genesis Facility, discovering the horrifying truth about Kier’s plans, and confronting the sister she thought had died.But now, for the first time in what felt like forever, she had a moment of stillness.A warm breeze swept through the open doors, ruffling the thin fabric of her shirt. Despite everything, the air smelled clean here—untouched by war, by blood, by betrayal.She should be thinking about their next move. About how to stop Kier before The Final Protocol took effect.But instead…Her mind kept circling back to him.Ayesha let out a slow breath, glancing over her shoulder.Zayn.He stood a few feet away, leaning against the wooden railing, watching her in that quiet, unreadable way he al

** Hearts Collide**The night was electric with anticipation, the full moon casting an ethereal glow over the sprawling garden. It had been weeks since they’d truly spoken to each other, their silence deafening despite the few interactions they shared in passing. Their love, once a burning flame, had turned cold — distant, untouchable, yet never quite extinguished.Sophia stood by the window, her fingers tracing the cold glass as her thoughts swirled around her. She had been waiting for Ethan to come to her, to tell her everything, to end this tension that hung like a thick fog between them. But he hadn't. And she didn't know why. Maybe it was pride. Maybe it was fear. Or maybe... it was something deeper — something they both needed to confront.As she gazed out into the darkened sky, the soft sound of footsteps broke her thoughts. She turned slowly, her heart quickening at the sight of him.Ethan.He stood in the doorway, his silhouette bathed in the pale moonlight, his face unreadab

**A Moment to Remember**The early morning sun spilled through the curtains, painting the room in a soft, golden glow. The air was cool, with the promise of a new day, yet the warmth of the previous night lingered. Emma lay on her side, her head resting on Lucas's chest, her hand curled gently around his. His steady heartbeat was a comforting rhythm beneath her ear, a sound that felt like home.Last night had been different. There had been no grand gestures, no forced confessions—just the quiet, tender moments they shared as they talked, laughed, and simply enjoyed each other's company. It had been the kind of night they both needed, a chance to reconnect, to find each other again after so much time apart. She could feel the love between them growing stronger, like a thread weaving their hearts closer together."I don't want to leave," Emma whispered, her voice barely a breath, her fingers tracing small circles on his chest. "Not today, not ever."Lucas's hand gently cradled the back

** The Breaking Point**Ayesha gasped as Reva’s dagger pressed against her throat.The sharp edge bit into her skin, just enough to send a trickle of warmth down her neck.For a heartbeat, everything stopped.Zayn had his gun trained on Reva. “Let her go.” His voice was steady, but Ayesha could hear the tension in it.Reva barely spared him a glance. “If you fire, she dies first.”Ayesha’s mind raced.Reva wasn’t bluffing.Her sister—**her own blood—**was about to kill her.And Ayesha was running out of options.The Fight for SurvivalAyesha moved.With a sudden, brutal twist, she jerked her knee up, slamming it into Reva’s stomach.Reva grunted but didn’t let go.Ayesha grabbed Reva’s wrist and wrenched it away from her throat, twisting hard until the dagger clattered onto the floor.But Reva was too fast.She lashed out with a sharp elbow, catching Ayesha across the jaw.Pain exploded in Ayesha’s head, stars dancing in her vision.She stumbled back—but so did Reva.Zayn took his cha

**The Ghost of the Past**Ayesha’s pulse thundered in her ears.She couldn’t move.She couldn’t speak.Because standing before her, alive and breathing, was a woman who had died years ago.Her sister.Zayn’s gun was up in a flash. “Ayesha?” His voice was tight, uncertain.Ayesha barely heard him. Her mind reeled.This wasn’t possible. It couldn’t be.She had buried this part of her past.She had grieved. She had bled.And yet—“Still slow to react, little sister?” The woman tilted her head, dark eyes gleaming with amusement. “Some things never change.”Ayesha’s fingers tightened around her gun.Her body screamed at her to shoot. To move. To do something.But she couldn’t.Because standing in front of her wasn’t just anyone.It was Reva.Her older sister.The sister who had died in a fire that Ayesha had started.The Fire That Changed EverythingYears ago, before Ayesha became who she was now, before she even knew the truth about her past—She had been someone else.She had been a girl

** Beneath the Surface** The Tunnel of Secrets The air in the tunnel was thick, damp, and laced with the scent of rust and decay. Every breath Ayesha took felt heavy, laced with the weight of unanswered questions. She led the way, flashlight in one hand, gun in the other. Behind her, the team moved carefully, their footsteps echoing off the narrow metal walls. Adrian’s voice was low, cautious. "How long does this tunnel go?" Damien, who had been eerily silent since they escaped, finally spoke. "About a mile. It leads to an old dock. If we keep moving, we’ll reach a safe house before sunrise." Zayn scoffed. "Safe? Funny word coming from you." Damien didn’t react. Ayesha, however, had had enough. She stopped abruptly, turning on her heel to face him. The flashlight beam landed on his face, casting shadows across his sharp features. "Talk." Her voice was sharp, demanding. "You knew this was coming. You knew they were going to attack us. You’ve been hiding something this entire

** The Betrayal Within**Unmasking the TraitorAyesha’s fingers tightened around the list, her breath coming slow and controlled as she stared at the name at the bottom.A name she recognized.A name that shouldn’t be there.Her gaze lifted, scanning the faces around her. Zayn, Priya, Adrian—all looking back at her with a mix of concern and curiosity.She swallowed hard. "One of them is here."Adrian frowned. "What do you mean?"Ayesha took a slow breath and slid the paper across the table.Adrian’s eyes widened the moment he saw the name. "No way."Zayn leaned in, his jaw tightening. "That’s not possible. It has to be a mistake."But Ayesha knew better.Priya’s fingers hovered over the keyboard. "If this is real… then they’ve been inside our team this entire time."Silence.The weight of Damien’s words settled over them like a dark cloud. The room felt smaller, the air thick with tension. Ayesha’s pulse pounded in her ears as she kept her gun trained on him, her finger hovering over
