Ava felt strange about Alexander's change in demeanor. It felt like a breath of fresh air after a devastating storm. On one hand, she felt happy—because Alexander seemed softer and more open. On the other hand, confusion enveloped her mind.

"Why did he change so quickly?" she wondered.

She recalled Alexander's anger from yesterday, and guilt resurfaced. But at this moment, Alexander appeared calmer, as if everything that had happened was in the past.

"I don’t need to beg for his attention," Ava thought, feeling relieved.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Ava asked, trying to keep her voice calm despite her racing heart.

Alexander took a deep breath.

"I just want to make sure you’re okay. I don’t like seeing you sad, and I don’t want to make you feel pressured."

Ava nodded and quickly went in the indicated direction. Her journey was hurried until she got out of her online taxi. Ava had lost the car she last drove since the incident of her abduction yesterday. However, when she arrived at the penthouse, she was surprised. Ava found her car parked in the penthouse garage in perfect condition. "Am I seeing things?" Ava murmured to herself. She quickly checked her car, looking at everything related to it, including the engine. Strangely, there was nothing wrong with her car.

    Despite her doubts, Ava felt a desire to understand more. “Alright, I will try to trust. But only if I feel safe,” she said firmly.The mysterious person nodded. “That’s a good first step. This afternoon, when you’re free, everything will start to be revealed. Prepare yourself.”Ava was struck by the mystery of their identities, which were entirely beyond her knowledge. To Ava, all of this felt sudden and unexpected, something she couldn’t have predicted.Ava felt turmoil within herself, recalling how her life had suddenly changed.

    "Alright, if you need my help, I will feed you. Because I can’t untie you yet," said the mysterious person firmly. "Why?" Ava asked, feeling curious. "One day you will understand the purpose of our actions. It just takes time to reveal the truth behind all this.

They are not far from here.”Ava was shocked. “Who are they? Why didn’t I know about this before?” Her voice was full of curiosity and a hint of hope.“They operate in the shadows, just like us.

    Ava felt confused as to why they were talking about her safety, which she herself didn’t fully understand. But she began to think about her issues with Sophia and the people behind her.Ava paused for a moment, reflecting on the words she had just heard. Thoughts of Sophia and the people behind her made her feelings even more tangled."What do they really want from me?" she thought. She tried to remember small details that might have been missed, but everything felt hazy.Ava knew that Sophia was not someone easy to deal with. There was something dark and mysterious behind her enticing smile. Perhaps all of this was connected to the decision Ava had made some time ago, a decision that had trapped her in a game larger than herself.Ava thought that all of this must be related to them. Yet, she still wondered who exactly those supporting her were. What were their interests in this matter? Ava found herself deep in thought that night, trying to analy

    The mysterious figure looked at her with doubt. Their expression changed as if considering her request. "Are you really struggling?" they asked, their tone showing a hint of empathy.Ava nodded, trying to appear weak and helpless. "Yes, I just want to eat properly. If you help me, maybe I can be calmer and talk to you."After a few long seconds, the figure finally stepped closer.

    "It's alright, it's your right to do so, sweet lady. But you must remember to wait a while here until you can be safe out there!" said the figure in a serious tone. Ava jolted at the figure's words. Her mind immediately drifted to various possibilities. "What does that mean?" She felt there were things she didn't know about everything that was happening. When the figure said she had to wait to be safe, there was an undertone she couldn’t grasp. Was this all part of a larger evil plan?However, Ava tried to push those thoughts away. She was afraid of getting trapped in the mysterious person's mental game, putting her full trust in them only to find it was a trap. She had to remain vigilant and not let herself be ensnared in any lies that might be told.While stifling the pain in her knee, Ava shifted her focus. "I have to get out of here," she thought.
