Chapter Eleven

It was late in the evening, Emma sat in her living room thinking about the threat message earlier. I tried to focus on my kids, but the threat keep ringing in my head. my phone buzzed, and hurriedly pick to check if it’s another threat. It was a news app notification, flashing a headline: “CEO Jeff Anderson Accused of Fraud.”Her heart raced. It was the same man she had been warned about. What had he done this time? Was he really capable of more than just intimidation? She opened the article with trembling fingers. Suddenly, a thought came to her mind. What if i turn the tables? What if i gathered evidence against Jeff instead of waiting for the next threat? But then the fear crept back in, was that not too risky?Getting evidence against the man i had kids with.Emma was lost in thought when her phone rang. It was Mrs. Williams. Emma answered, feeling a mix of anxiety and determination.“Emma, I just wanted to check on you. How are you holding up?” Mrs. Williams asked, her tone wa

Chapter Twelve

As the car speed off from the office, Emma’s mind raced and her heart pounding continuously with possibilities and fears. She couldn’t stop thinking and the image of Jeff lurking in the shadow, a threat she had underestimated for too long.“Where are we heading to?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady. “To a safe house owned by a friend. It’s discreet and secure. We’ll lay low until we figure out our next move.” Your kids are in safe hands too, you need not to worry, Mrs Williams said. Emma nodded, her heart still pounding. The thought of hiding felt terrifying and but necessary. She glanced out the window, watching familiar streets blur past, feeling a mix of sadness and relief. Everything was changing so fast. When they arrived, the safe house was unassuming a small, well-kept bungalow nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Mrs. Williams led Emma inside, and the warm atmosphere calm her nerves.“I’ll be here with you,” Mrs. Williams assured her. Emma pulled out her laptop, eager to

Chapter Thirteen

As Emma and Mrs. Williams prepared to leave, a sense of urgency filled the air. They quickly gathered essentials, a flashlight, pepper spray, and Mrs. Williams's trusted burner phone. “We have to stay focused, no matter what happens,” Mrs. Williams reminded her as she handed Emma the phone.“Are you sure about this?” Emma asked, anxiety creeping back in. “What if it is a trap?”Mrs. Williams looked her in the eye. “We can’t let fear set us back. We need Knowledge; if this person knows where you are, we must find out how.”With their hearts pounding, they stepped outside into the cool night. The neighborhood was quiet, the stars hidden behind clouds. Mrs. Williams led the way to the car, her senses alert for any signs of danger.Once inside, Mrs. Williams glanced at Emma. “Are you ready?” Emma took a deep breath, nodding. “I'm in, let's do this.”They drove to the warehouse in a quiet and sober mood, and the car at a very high speed. Emma’s mind raced, and lots of questions running thr

Chapter Fourteen

As they speed through the dark streets, Emma’s mind drifted to her twins. Jeff had barely acknowledged them in their early years, more interested in his schemes than in being a father. But now, that Jeff was aware of our location and our intentions, she feared he might try to use the twins to manipulate her.Suddenly, the car stopped as a thumping noise grew louder. “We’re losing a tire!” Mrs. Williams shouted, gripping the wheel tightly. They pulled over on a scary and deserted road, and the man scanned their surroundings anxiously. “We’re too exposed here,” he said.Just then, Emma’s phone buzzed. It was an unknown number—again. Fear gripped her heart, her hand trembling as she picked up the call. “Hello?”“Emma,” Jeff’s cold voice crackled through the line. Her blood ran cold. “You’ve taken something from me, you left with my PA and also worked with my rival to pull me down, now it’s my turn. I have the twins.”Emma’s heart dropped. “No… Jeff, you wouldn’t dare!”“Oh, but I would.

Chapter fifteen

With the determination in Emma's eyes, the team wasted no time in preparing their next steps. They reached the safe house and immediately began to sort through Derek’s evidence, cataloging each document and preparing a digital file to send directly to the authorities. Every paper, every transaction was another nail in Jeff’s coffin, but Emma knew they had to move fast.As Alex worked to encrypt the files, Mrs. Williams approached Emma. “We have an hour, maybe less if Jeff decides to change the terms. Are you sure about this?”Emma nodded. “I can’t let him have this hold over us anymore. My kids deserve to be free of his influence.”A short time later, Alex announced, “It’s ready. This information is going directly to my contact at the FBI. They’ll know everything about Jeff’s network, his finances, and his crimes. He won’t be able to escape this.”Emma clenched her fists, taking a deep breath. “Good. Now we just need to keep him distracted long enough for the authorities to act.”Just

Chapter Sixteen

As Emma and her twins stepped outside, the dawn's light breaking over the horizon, she felt a deep sense of relief—a fresh start finally within reach. But then, one of the FBI agents approached her, his expression solemn.“Emma,” he said quietly, pulling her aside. “We’ve just decrypted an additional file from the evidence you provided. There's something you need to see.”Emma glanced over at her twins, ensuring they were safe with Mrs. Williams, and followed the agent to his car. He pulled up the file on a tablet, his voice laced with urgency. “The documents mention a secondary account—a network of assets and operatives scattered in hidden locations. Jeff’s operation goes much deeper than we realized.”Fear gripped Emma and her heart sank as she scanned the file. In plain text, there were references to influential names—politicians, corporate executives, and even a high-ranking law enforcement official. They were all part of Jeff’s network, benefiting from his illegal dealings.The a

Chapter Seventeen

The first step in taking down The Collective was understanding its structure. They all spent sleepless nights pondering over the gathered data, connecting dots, and building a map of the organization. The names, locations, and activities formed an impenetrable web of deceit and corruption.Alex tapped his laptop, which displayed a cluster of names on the screen. "We need an insider," he said, a weak link in their chain, someone who can get us more information without raising suspicion."Emma nodded, her gaze fixed on the screen. "What about this one?" She pointed to a name: Dr. Eliza Morgan. "She’s listed as a biotech consultant for The Collective. If we can get to her, we might have a chance."Mrs. Williams furrowed her brow. "You’re assuming she’s not fully loyal to them. What if she’s just as dangerous?""We won’t know until we try," Emma said firmly. "If she’s complicit, we’ll handle it. But if there’s even a chance she’s in over her head, she could be our way in."Alex sighed. "I

Chapter Eighteen

***At the Cabin***The peaceful isolation of the mountain retreat was an illusion, and Emma knew it wouldn’t last. Mrs. Williams had become increasingly uneasy after spotting movement in the woods days earlier. She hadn’t mentioned it to Emma, not wanting to add more stress, but her vigilance had doubled.That evening, as the twins dozed by the fire, Mrs. Williams heard a faint rustling outside. She froze, her eyes narrowing as she reached for the rifle by the door. Steeling her nerves, she peeked through the window and saw the glint of something metallic—likely a scope or a camera lens.Her heart pounding, she backed away from the window and whispered urgently to the twins. “Upstairs, now. Be quiet, and don’t come out until I say.”The twins obeyed, their eyes wide with fear, sensing her seriousness. Once they were safely out of sight, Mrs. Williams crept toward the back door, positioning herself in the shadows. If someone was out there, they wouldn’t get in without a fight.***Emma’

Chapter Nineteen

The safe house was eerily quiet except for the occasional crackle of the fireplace, it illuminated the room a little bit so it wasn't completely dark.Emma sat by the window, staring into the dark woods that surrounded the cabin and the oppressive silence seemed to grow louder with every passing moment, pressing down on her like a weight she couldn’t quite shake off.She couldn’t escape the feeling that danger was closer than ever, lurking just beyond the trees, right behind her, she could feel it on the back of her hair. The soft chirping of crickets offered no comfort, only a strong reminder of how alone they truly were.On the table beside her, a stack of files sat untouched.They weighed heavily on her, each page containing damning evidence about The Collective’s reach but she knew it wasn't enough.Evidence wasn’t enough to stop them, it wasn’t enough to protect her children, her fingers curled into a fist and her jaw was locked tightly as frustration mounted.“You're still up?”

David’s sobs echoed in the room, filling the air with a heavy sense of betrayal.Emma stood frozen, her mind racing as she processed his confession while the others remained silent, their gazes darting between David and Emma, waiting for her next move.Finally, Emma stepped forward, her voice cold and measured, “Explain. Now.”David lifted his tear-streaked face, his words tumbling out in a panicked rush, “They….. they approached me months ago.”Flashback to three months agoDavid's felt the hairs on the back of his neck standing, he was being watched by someone. He didn't know who or why but he didn't like it. He thanked the barister as his coffee was handed to him and immediately ran out of the café. He didn't want to draw too much attention to himself so he tried to be subtle about it. Though anyone who watched him closely could tell he was walking faster than usual but that was just to anyone. The moment he turned at the next corner, David knew he had walked into a trap. A bunc
