Chapter: Click!“What did you do to him, David?!” I asked, emphasizing every word.The atmosphere was still tense, wrapped in fear. I looked at David with deep disappointment, but also a hint of hope. Hope that I would get the answer I needed. That Jack was okay.“Is he still alive?” I asked again, as if trying to make sure David hadn’t killed him.He stared at me for a moment, before finally reaching out to the edge of the laptop and opening it. Then he moved the cursor around, as if he already knew everything inside that device. The cursor stopped at a folder.Click.The folder opened. Two video files instantly appeared. When one of them was clicked, the screen displayed a dark, shaky surveillance recording. The image steadied after a moment, showing an empty room with grimy walls and dim lighting from a single hanging lamp.There, a man sat on a metal chair. His hands were tied behind his back, his body slumped slightly, his head bowed. His clothes were wrinkled, his face partially hidden in shad

Chapter: "What Did You Do to Him?"The sky suddenly turned black. Strange noises buzzed from afar, like whispers twisted into screams. I ran, but the ground turned into thick mud, pulling my body downward. Behind the fog, dark shadows moved closer without a sound. I wanted to scream, but my voice was gone, swallowed by the heavy air. My breath was tight. Cold seeped into my bones. Suddenly, a rough hand grabbed my arm from the darkness. I struggled, but the grip only tightened, burning my skin. "Hanna…"A voice called to me from a distance, dragging my consciousness back.I woke up, breathing unevenly. Reality returned with its dim light, the cold touch on my skin, and a heartbeat still trapped in the rhythm of a nightmare. And there he was, David. He was sitting next to me.“You had a nightmare,” he said softly. I looked at him, still half awake. Cold sweat clung to the back of my neck, and the blanket felt too heavy.He stared at me for a while, as if trying to read the remnants of the dream still clinging to my

Chapter: Ms. Hanna Alxander ThomasThat night, I was still there, in front of the police station. I and several journalists were waiting until Liam came out of the building. The atmosphere was relatively safe and calm. The streetlights glowed dimly, casting a soft reflection on the pavement that had begun to cool with the night dew. Several police cars were parked not far from the entrance, their rotator lights still blinking slowly, as if there was no urgency.The clock had passed eleven. An officer appeared behind the door, glanced toward us, then went back in, as if assessing the situation.“Any minute now,” Sam whispered beside me, either genuinely convinced or simply trying to reassure himself. I didn’t reply. My eyes remained fixed on that door.Liam hadn’t come out yet.And for some reason, my chest was starting to feel heavy. Not just because I was waiting for Liam, but also because of the article Jack had promised earlier that morning. I was waiting for it. Curious, nervous, and slightly anxious.I kept refres

Chapter: He Suspects MeI stormed out of Mr. Bobby’s office, anger and disappointment raging inside me. My steps were hurried, as if I couldn’t get away fast enough from that room that suddenly felt too small, too suffocating, too unfamiliar.The air outside didn’t help much. I walked briskly past empty desks and glowing computer screens that seemed to silently witness my disappointment. Every footstep echoed against the floor like tiny explosions of the fury I tried to contain in my chest.My head was down. My breath, shallow and quick. My fists clenched tightly, resisting the urge to scream at Jack.He replaced me. Deliberately. Offered himself as a replacement. For what? For whom? I didn’t know. I couldn’t think. He knew too

Chapter: Switch..I stepped into the Daily News building. The smell of stale coffee and old paper greeted me. Around me, journalists passed by with tense faces.The elevator dinged softly. Inside, it was just me and my reflection on the metallic wall. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my thoughts.I had been absent from the office for two days. I had no idea how Jack was doing. Ever since that day, I hadn’t heard from him. With my phone destroyed, I tried reaching out to him via email. But Jack never replied. I even asked Jane if she knew anything about him. All she said was that Jack was fine. Just... fine. No further explanation.I had prepared my words to defend myself in front of Mr. Bobby. An envelope containing the draft I intended to give him was ready. Those drafts were part of my promise to publish an article about David. I had asked David over and over again what kind of story I should write about him to satisfy my boss, and David told me to write something about him and Daniel. The exact s

Chapter: The Warning #3“What are you going to do with that photo?”David looked at me. His gaze was deep, as if he was expecting a particular answer.“I’m going to give it to Harry. It’s strong evidence to clear you of the accusation,” I said to David. When I looked into his eyes, I could read something that made me almost freeze.His brow furrowed, as if what I had done was meaningless.“Why? Am I wrong?”He shook his head. “No, you’re not wrong. But your way is.”I frowned. “What do you mean?”He didn’t answer immediately. There was a long pause. The look in his eyes was clear, there were too many secrets that were too dark to reveal.He pointed to the picture in my hand. “Look. What can you conclude from this picture?”I stared at it carefully… and my answer would still be the same. “This picture proves Liam is connected to Carlos.”“And then?” David asked, urging me for a deeper explanation as if my answer wasn’t enough.“Then Liam ordered Carlos to kill me.”“Based on what?”I looked down at the pictur
