Departure

The night was calm and quiet, the stillness broken only by the sound of rapid footsteps approaching the estate. The guards, ever vigilant, snapped to attention, their hands reaching for their weapons as the shadows of men came into view. But these were not enemies, they were Liam's men, and they were in bad shape.Blood stained their clothes, their bodies hunched over in pain and exhaustion. Liam, who had been enjoying a quiet evening, rushed to meet them, his eyes wide with shock. "What happened?" he demanded, his voice heavy with concern."It was a trap," one of the men gasped, his breath coming in ragged bursts. "Henry's men knew we were coming.

But now, as he looked at the wounded and weary survivors, he realized that he had sent them into a death trap."They were waiting for us," another man said, his voice thick with grief

Pain

Henry stumbled into his home, drunk and disoriented. As he made his way through the dimly lit hallway, he caught a glimpse of Mia, but in his inebriated state, he saw Arla's face instead. A smirk played on his lips as he moved closer to her, his voice slurred, "Oh, what are you doing here?"Mia, shocked and frightened by Henry's strange behavior, instinctively took a step back, her heart pounding in her chest. But Henry, still believing he was with Arla, closed the distance between them, pulling her into a tight embrace. He tenderly tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, his gaze lingering on her brown eyes, which were now filled with fear and uncertainty.Suddenly, Henry twirled her in a dance-like motion, their bodies moving in an awkward harmony as he held her hands and pulled her into a silent dance.

Just as he finished speaking, Vivian alighted from the bus and approached them. "What's happening?" she inquired, her gaze shifting between Liam and Laurette. Liam's voice was strained as he replied, "Arla's missing."Vivian's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Oh, we couldn't bring her along because you locked

Attack

Amy, one of Henry's maids, stepped into his room to tidy up. She made her way to the bathroom, intending to collect the laundry. Suddenly, her eyes caught sight of Mia, lifeless on the floor. A scream pierced the air, echoing through the room and catching Jason's attention. As Henry's second-in-command, he rushed into the room, his eyes falling on Mia's beautiful body, as still as a statue.In an instant, Jason was at Mia's side, carefully scooping her up in his arms.

The Stranger

Liam glanced back towards the shooters and realized they had stopped firing and weren't pursuing them. He turned to the driver, one of his loyal men, and said, "Is it just me or did that son of a bitch stop shooting?" The driver peered through the side glass and said, "Seems like they retreated, sir." Liam scoffed and leaned back against the leather seat of the moving car.He looked to his side and found Arla staring intently at him. "What?" he asked, meeting her gaze. He hadn't really had time to calmly study her face before.Arla had a medium-shade skin tone that was flawlessly smooth. She had a beauty mark close to her lips, and her black hair was so dark it was enchanting. Liam's eyes darted to her lips, plump with life and invitingly pink. She looked like a lost goddess. The depth of her brown eyes seemed to pull him in, and he absentmindedly tucked her hair behind her ears, smoothing it before meeting her gaze again.Arla didn't retract her gaze either and was just staring at hi

Liam's phone illuminated, prompting him to open his eyes and peruse the message he received from his primary supplier his most significant client.

She rubbed her eyes and gazed at Liam with a puzzled expression.Liam turned to address his driver, "Inform the others, we're heading to the warehouse. They took Donna," he revealed.

Hidden Connections

Arla's heart pounded in her chest as she watched Liam exit Donna's room, his expression unreadable. She tried to swallow the lump in her throat, but it refused to budge, just like the questions and doubts that swirled in her mind. Their eyes met for a fleeting moment, Feigning nonchalance, Arla leaned against the staircase, her arms folded across her chest as she summoned the courage to confront him. "Is she alright?" she asked, her voice slightly trembling, betraying the storm of emotions within her.Liam hesitated, his eyes darting between Arla and the door to Donna's room. "She's just exhausted," he replied, his tone carefully measured.
