Chapter 11:Meeting in the Coffee Shop

The coffee shop is located on the outskirts of the city, far from the noisy commercial district. It's a gloomy afternoon with dark clouds, as if foretelling an impending storm. The coffee shop is filled with the rich aroma of coffee, mixed with the scent of freshly baked desserts, creating a cozy yet mysterious atmosphere. Alicia is sitting in a corner, choosing a seat with a clear view of the entrance. She has applied light makeup today and is wearing a plain gray sweater and jeans, trying not to draw attention. Her fingers unconsciously caress the coffee cup in front of her, and her gaze occasionally glances at the glass door of the coffee shop. There are only a few customers in the coffee shop, some of whom are concentrating on their laptops, while others are speaking in low voices. Alicia tries to look like she is just waiting for a regular friend, but her heart is raging within her. Just as Alicia began to doubt whether George would show up, the door of the coffee shop was pus

Chapter 12: Escape

Alicia closed her eyes, as if she could also feel the oppressive atmosphere of that morning. Her father's voice, the one that had always been so confident and powerful in her memory, suddenly seemed distant and vague."Your father's voice sounded urgent," George continued. "He said he had remembered some important things and wanted me to come see him immediately. I still remember the sound of his breathing being a bit hurried and the background noise of searching for papers."George paused for a moment, taking a sip of the already cold coffee. The bitter taste made him frown. "I told him I would go right away. But just as I was about to leave the house, I received a call from the traffic control center. They said... said your father's car had crashed on the winding mountain road."Alicia felt dizzy, and she struggled to control her emotions, but she still felt tears welling up in her eyes."I immediately rushed to the scene," George's voice became even lower, "and it was the most horr

"Damn!" Alicia muttered, as the key wouldn't fit into the lock several times. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Finally, the key was inserted into the correct position.The moment the engine roared to life, Alisha let out a sigh of relief. She slammed on the gas pedal, and the car shot out of the parking lot like an arrow. The tires screeched against the ground, and the car swayed slightly. In the rearview mirror, she saw the man had run onto the road and was already dialing his phone.Alicia's heart was still racing at an alarming rate, but she forced herself to concentrate on the road. Following the route she remembered, she began driving towards the suburbs of the city. The city was bathed in the glow of nighttime lights, and the number of pedestrians and vehicles on the streets was gradually decreasing. Neon lights cast colorful shadows on the car windows, and Alisha felt as if she were in a surreal dream.About twenty minutes later, Alicia noticed that a black SUV ha

"But George, I can't just leave you like this! We don't know what's on that USB stick yet."George reached out and gently placed a hand on Alice's shoulder. His eyes were firm and gentle. "Listen, your father trusts you, and so do I. You're much stronger than you think. Now, you have to believe in yourself. The secret on that USB stick, only you can unlock it."Alice took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She knew George was right, but the pain of parting still tore her heart apart."Okay," she finally said, her voice slightly trembling.Just then, a distant barking sound broke the silence of the night.

In the distance, a luxurious yacht was slowly approaching, and the golden letters "Black Star" on its hull shone brightly in the sunlight. Alicia took a deep breath and composed her expression. She knew that every step from here on out would be crucial. As the yacht docked, a white-uniformed crew member came down and bowed respectfully, saying, "Miss Stewart, welcome aboard.
