My heart beat faster than usual.The hoodie added a layer of anonymity to my appearance, allowing me to blend in with the surrounding crowd. As I stepped out of the airport, I waved down a passing cab and stopped one."Please take me to the nearest hotel," I said, trying to hide the fear from my voice.The cab driver replied, "Alright, the nearest hotel in London Docklands is about 35 kilometers from here.I responded, "I think that's better, since it's not far from the airport or the London hospital."I was making sure I could get to Olivia on time.

58. On the run

MARK'S POV "He'll never set his eyes on you again." I spoke in a low tone, “You're not going back to that mansion," I whispered into her ear. My worried eyes fixed on her pearl-like eyes.

I declared, "She's not going back, no matter what the agreement of the contract is, no matter how hard it gets, no matter who he is.

MR GEORGE’s POV "You think you can betray me, do you think?" I bellowed loudly in front of Harrison in my underground warehouse."I'm so sorry, Mr. George," Harrison tried to plead for his betrayer. "Oh, now you can beg me after you've sold intel to Lorenzo about my whereabouts and my business?" I spoke thoughtfully, giving a potential smile in front of him.I noticed a wave of relaxation wash over his face as he thought I had forgotten and forgiven him for what he did.

He painfully exclaimed,After the groan, he spat out blood on the floor, staining my beautiful marble tiles. "How dare you?" I declared, speaking in parables about what he did to me.
