David finally arrived at the amusement park. His car came to a halt, tires crunching over the gravel path that led to the park's main gate. The place looked empty, its sign swaying gently in the breeze.When David had heard the name of the amusement park… he was shocked. It was the same amusement park he had gifted to Emma when they were married! Who knew it was so close?Back then, Emma had said it was the one place that made her feel like a kid again. Safe. Happy. Free. David had never forgotten those words, and when the chief officer had mentioned the location as a possible hideout, something clicked."I’ll head to the railway with my men," the chief officer had told him, not fully convinced about David's intuition.But David was sure and certain. "I’m taking my team to the amusement park. If she thinks she’s safe anywhere, it’ll be there.”And now, standing in front of the rusted gate, he could only hope he was right.He motioned to his men. "Spread out. Search every corner. Quiet
A bucket of cold water splashed across Allison’s face, jerking her awake with a shiver. She gasped sharply, her eyes opening slowly as her soaked hair clung to her skin.A tall figure stood in front of her, holding the empty bucket in one hand and a smirk on her red-painted lips.“Wakey wakey,” Ruby said in a mocking sing-song voice. “Do you miss me?” Ruby looked like she had stepped straight out of some twisted nightmare. Her tight, glossy black latex outfit clung to her body like a second skin, and her long legs were covered in matching high boots that clicked loudly with every step she took. In her right hand, she held a long, black whip, waving it at Allison.Allison coughed and slowly pushed herself up from the cold concrete floor. Her arms trembled, her body felt so sore and heavy from the countless hours of torture she had endured since being brought here. Her once-beautiful dress was now rags, and her skin was marked with bruises and cuts. They had been trying to break her,
David’s black boots crushed small pieces of broken glass as he walked closer to the scene. He had just arrived at the bridge with his men, and the sight before him wasn’t pretty. Twisted metal, broken car doors, and the scent of burning rubber filled the air. His gaze stopped on Felix’s car. It was wrecked, the front part smashed badly, the driver’s door bent out of shape.David’s jaw clenched. He knew Emma had been inside that car.He turned to his men. “Check the area. Now!” he ordered, his voice low but dangerous.His men rushed off in different directions. Some checked the cars that had crashed into each other while others searched along the bridge. David walked slowly, taking in every detail. Two of the bad guys involved in the chase lay on the ground. One was thrown a few feet away, his leg twisted awkwardly. Another was leaning against the railing, his head bleeding and his eyes shut.“Find out if any of them are alive,” David said without hesitation.His men immediately got
Emma’s hands were trembling as she grabbed the steering wheel tightly. Her heart was racing, and sweat dripped down her forehead. She could barely breathe, but she forced herself to keep driving. The sky was getting darker and rainy, but she could still see the two black cars chasing her from the rearview mirror.Emma wiped her tears quickly and pressed harder on the accelerator. Her only thought was to escape. She didn’t want to be caught. Her whole body was shaking, but she told herself to stay strong.Every time she glanced in the rearview mirror, the two cars were getting closer. Suddenly, she noticed something that made her heart nearly stop. The two black cars were no longer behind her. They were beside her, closing in from both sides.When they got closer to her, one of the men leaned out of the car window. His face was cold and fierce. He shouted at Emma,"Hey! Stop the car right now! We just want to talk!"Emma’s knuckles turned white as she gripped the wheel harder. She knew
David paced back and forth, clutching Emma’s necklace tightly in his palm. Every second that ticked by felt like a sharp knife twisting deeper into his heart. The helplessness made him feel weak, something he was not used to feeling.He had done everything in his power, calling in favors, using every resource, every connection, yet Emma was still not found. He had even tried calling Christian multiple times, hoping to get some information or any update from his end, but Christian had vanished. No replies, no returned calls, no messages. It was like Christian had disappeared into thin air when they needed him the most.At least one thing had gone right. The special forces David contacted managed to capture Brian Carter. But even that came with its own disappointment. Brian admitted to abducting Emma but confessed to handing her over to a second man he couldn't identify properly. He did not know where Emma was taken after that.David's phone suddenly vibrated, pulling him from his thoug
"Are you okay?"Emma slowly opened her eyes and blinked. Her whole body was trembling with fear.The first thing she saw was Gavin lying on the dusty floor in a pool of blood, unconscious.Was he… dead?Emma’s chest tightened. She finally looked up and saw Felix standing beside Gavin's body. He was holding a gun in his hand, but his eyes were full of concern.He rushed forward, kneeling beside her, and began untying the tight ropes around her legs.“Are you alright? Did he hurt you?” Felix asked again. His hands moved fast, struggling to loosen the hard knots that had dug into her skin.Emma blinked again, trying to get her mind to work. Her heart was still racing from all the fear and shock. She could hardly believe Felix was here, standing in front of her.“Felix… why… why are you here? How did you… find me?” Emma asked shakily.Felix finally got the ropes off her legs, quickly moving to untie her hands. His fingers worked quickly, but his voice was calm as he explained.“Gavin… Gav
