The slope of the tunnel steepened, the concrete walls giving way to raw rock. Water dripped from the ceiling, pooling in uneven depressions on the floor. Red emergency lights strobed intermittently, casting fleeting shadows that made the tunnel seem alive.William led, his weapon raised, his jaw set like iron. Adrian followed a step behind, scanning every corner, and Lily stayed close, eyes sharp, her rifle ready.Leonard’s boots pounded somewhere ahead, echoing with a maddening rhythm. He was close—they all felt it.“Sir,” Adrian murmured, voice low but tense, “he’s running out of room.”“Exactly,” William said. “Which means he’ll get desperate.”They rounded a bend and came to a narrow bridge spanning a deep crevasse, old mining supports creaking underfoot. Beyond, the tunnel widened again, dark and slick.Halfway across, a sharp click echoed. William froze. His instincts screamed.“Back—!” he barked, but it was too late.A deafening boom shook the passage. The supports groaned and

The chamber vibrated with tension, the hum of generators blending with the low, rhythmic drip of water from overhead pipes. Leonard stood framed in red emergency lights, calm as a predator. His pistol gleamed in his hand.William’s aim was steady. “Drop the weapon, Leonard.”Leonard’s grin widened. “You’re still thinking like a man who has options.”A sharp metallic click echoed. Leonard fired first, the bullet whistling past William’s head and sparking against a steel support beam. William dove left, firing back in two quick bursts. Leonard vanished behind a stack of crates as more shots rang out.Lily moved fast, crouching low, scanning angles. Her pulse hammered in her ears, but she kept her breathing steady. She spotted movement—one of Leonard’s men creeping from a shadowed side tunnel with a rifle raised.“William!” she shouted, swinging her rifle up. The shot cracked, and the man spun, hitting the ground hard.Another shot zipped past, splintering a crate near her head. She duck

The maintenance lift rattled and groaned as it descended into darkness. Rust streaked the walls, and the old gears moaned under their weight. Lily gripped the railing, her breathing measured despite the thundering of her heart. William stood tall beside her, pistol steady in his hand, his eyes locked on the shifting shadows below.The dim bulb overhead flickered as the lift came to a stop. A cold draft swept up the shaft, carrying the smell of wet stone and something metallic. Lily tightened her grip on her weapon. “Where are we?”“Old mining tunnels,” William said, stepping off first. His boots crunched on loose gravel. “Leonard’s been using these for years to move people and shipments. No cameras, no satellites.”The tunnels stretched out like veins in the earth, dimly lit by ancient bulbs and dotted with crates and equipment. Sofia’s voice crackled in William’s ear. “Sir, my men have visual on Leonard. He’s heading deeper, toward sector C. But be careful—motion sensors are picking

The oak door swung inward with a low groan. The scent of leather and expensive cigars hit William as he stepped into Leonard’s private office, gun drawn, eyes scanning.Leonard Mikhail sat behind a broad mahogany desk, shadows from the lamplight carving harsh lines into his face. His dark suit was immaculate, a glass of brandy in hand, and the faintest smirk curled his lips. Two guards flanked him, rifles ready.“William Thomas,” Leonard drawled, as if greeting an old friend. “I was wondering when you’d finally gather the courage.”William’s grip on his pistol tightened. “Where are the others?” His voice was cold, low, lethal.Leonard chuckled. “Straight to business. Just like your sister was… before she screamed my name.”William’s jaw tightened, the memory of his sister’s murder flashing like lightning behind his eyes. He stepped closer, his gun unwavering. “That’s the last lie you’ll ever tell.”The guards shifted, sensing the tension. Leonard leaned back, sipping his drink. “Do yo

The SUV rolled to a silent stop two miles from the estate. Beyond the treeline, harsh white lights bathed the sprawling compound, the hum of generators faint in the night air. William studied the sight through binoculars, his breath steady.Adrian checked his gear one last time, his voice low. “Security perimeter’s thick. Ten guards visible, more rotating.”Lily crouched beside them, eyes scanning the blueprints on her tablet. “Here,” she whispered, pointing to a narrow drainage culvert. “It runs beneath the west garden wall. It’s tight, but we can fit through.”William glanced at her, a flicker of approval in his cold eyes. “Lead the way.”They moved as shadows through the forest, slipping between branches until they reached the culvert. Adrian dropped first, scanning with his light, then gestured them forward. Lily followed, her knees scraping against the concrete as she crawled through the narrow passage. The smell of damp earth and stagnant water filled the air.On the far side, A

George didn't say anything except raise his eyes. Observing George's expression, Carol gave a fake smile, "Yes mom, George is right. She did this for her own sake. She was kidnapped. What if I was the one who was kidnapped. I would have done the same."George narrowed his eyes and asked, "I never said that she was kidnapped."Both Carol and Mary's faces froze. After a second, Carol said, "Oh George, it's my dad who said this."George gave a little nodding.Both Carol and Mary took a deep breath. Out of blue, Carol asked, "So, you aren't going to divorce Jenny right?"George didn't say anything. He was silently looking at Carol's eyes. Since the day he had met these two women, he always had a strange feeling toward them. This feeling was unpleasant. But he didn't know why, the more he tries to distance themselves, the more they appear in front of him.He stood up and said, "If you want to talk to Jenny, let me send her here."George didn't want to talk to them. So, he decided to let Je

Mary Antao suddenly asked, "Carol, how do you manage to do this? Tell me!"Carol smiled and said, "Mom, that's simple. I was in the mansion when I saw a few men assembled in the hall waiting for dad. I just asked them the reason. They told me that they were having some proof regarding Jenny and they have done their work. I just told them that I would give it to dad.Later, when I checked the Pendrive, I saw these things. So, dad was trying to save his daughter from the world. And I don't want that. So, I call two-three editors of certain newspapers and media agencies and handed those things."Mary Antao was happy. She said, "After Jenny would go to jail, there won't be any chance for Jennifer. Everything would be yours. And what more, you can marry George, he is oh-so-handsome."Carol smiled, "Yeah! I was into him. But I don't know how suddenly Jenny impressed him and did those things."Mary gave a hooked smile, "Jenny isn't a normal person. I have met George. He won't marry any woma

All of a sudden, Jenny's video of killing William Watson got viral all over the country. Everyone in the town started talking about that video. Jenny who wasn't even aware of this woke up at 8:00 am. Just after waking up, she looked around her husband, who wasn't in the room. She sighed! Just as she was about to wake up, her phone rang.Ring Ring Ring Ring.Reluctantly, she walked toward her phone and saw the name of the caller. It was Adriana. She picked up and said, "Hey!"Adriana's sound wasn't looking good. She said, "Have you read the newspaper?"Jenny replied, "No! What's wrong?"Hearing the lazy voice of Jenny, Adriana gritted her teeth and said, "It's already 8:00 am and you just woke up?"Jenny took a deep breath and said, "Yeah! What's wrong?"Adriana said, "Go and check!"Jenny looked around the newspaper and saw that newspaper was lying near the couch. She frowned. George had never thrown a newspaper like this. He always used to fold it and keep it on the table. She picke

The boss paused. He stopped there and looked at Jenny, who was not far from him, but he couldn't grab her. Jenny was also looking at him with the same intensity.The boss said, "Jenny... I had married four years ago. We even had a child. But now, I have nothing left in my life. We were having a great time, but suddenly I don't remember why we started quarreling for some reason and I mistakenly slapped her."Jenny clenched her fist. "How could someone slap a woman?" But she didn't dare to say him. She just acted like she was very keen to listen to him.The boss continued, "My father also used to beat my mother. But my mother never retaliates. So, why my wife was retaliating. I wasn't wrong at all. I just slapped her. I thought that she was angry with me. But to my surprise, she filed divorce against me."Jenny was happy to hear that. But she didn't show any type of expression. The boss continued, "She not only filed a complaint against me, but she also won the case, took my kids and m

"Our Boss's Room!""Your boss's room?" Justin's eyes widened.That man nodded. "Yes sir, one day, I visited his room for some work, I saw some pictures of women including our senior mam and the woman, oh I don't know her name, the woman who died first."Justin nodded, "Ok, then?"That man said, "Sir, I saw the 'tick mark' from a red pen in her photo. That indicated that his plan for her was over. And yes, she was dead. The next photo, I saw was of our senior mam, who wassaved somehow. But, she was also dead.I even saw his girlfriend's photo and also, Jenny's photo. So, I wanted to alarm her every time. But,whenever I used to come near her, that boss used to come up suddenly from nowhere and tried to interfere. Then, I talked to his girlfriend in the car and she told me that he had never invited her to his house. I confirm that in his house, there must be proof of killing."Justin was speechless. How could a person ki

Jenny surfed the internet to find out the biggest hacker in her locality. She just wanted to know the person who was blackmailing her. Suddenly, her eyes sparkled.Her dad!How could she forget her dad? But, should she ask him? Jenny bit her lips."Would he help me?" Thinking about this, she decided to meet her dad. She ordered a cab and left to meet her dad.****In a random restaurant.Jenny and Jerry Antao were sitting in front of each other. Jerry was pretty sure that she had called him for some reason or else she would have never.He took a piece of bread in his mouth, chewed it, and said, "Now tell me, why you called me?"Jenny was biting her lips. She said, "I am being blackmailed."Jerry narrowed his eyes. "Since when?"Jenny replied, "A few days ago."Jerry clenched his fist. "Don't worry, whoever filmed my daughter while changing the clothes would be finished till midnight."Jenny replied, "No,
