Anna POV

The world felt different immediately she revealed her words to me. My whole inner emotions just started crumbling. The sounds were sharper. Every person walking behind me was a potential threat. Every car that slowed down was a hunter.

Sandra was gone. She had just turned and run, sobbing, leaving Hae-Jae and me standing there, stunned and flabbergasted. She hadn’t answered her phone since. My best friend was a stranger and a traitor. Max’s warning wasn’t paranoia. It was a prophecy.

Two days later, the feeling started.

I was walking home from the cafeteria alone. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I stopped to tie my shoe, glancing behind me. The street was busy. People everywhere. No one looked at me.

But the feeling didn’t go away. I felt like chills run down my spine. Someone was watching. I just didn't see the person but I know what I was saying.

“You’re losing it, Anna,” I muttered to myself, shaking my head. “Max got in your head. That’s all.”

    Anna POV "Anna, that’s not true. Just tell me what happened." He said with a stren voice as if he cared about anything. He was the man villain, but he has been making me see his other co workers as the main villain." Hae-Jae happened. men found him. They beat him bloody. They sent me a video." My voice was filled with rage and some sort of anger."What? Where is he? Is he okay?" He asked with his fake pity voice."You don’t get to ask that. You knew this would happen. You gave me that USB knowing they’d be watching." I yelled out the words as if he was right here with him." I gave you that USB to protect you! To help you see the truth! I didn’t know Hae-Jae would get involved." He say."Don’t. Don’t you dare lie to me again. You used us. You used him. Was it worth it? Did you get what you needed from your little experiment?" I said, with an almost tight throat."You think I wanted this? You think I wanted an innocent person to get hurt?" He said with a pity voice that almost felt r

    Anna's PerspectiveThe man in the black suit stood silently by the car, not moving. He seemed to be waiting patiently. At first glance I thought he would talk up to us in the apartment, but he looked more cool than I even expected."Who is that?" I whispered, feeling my heart pounding in my chest.Sandra was breathing rapidly, clearly anxious. "I don't know his name. No one does. He just works for Mr. Croft, handling issues.""Issues?" Hae-Jae's voice was filled with visible fear. Over the times, thing's had changed, Hae-Jae the once strong man was now acting like a weak person."People who ask too many questions," Sandra hissed, turning to face us, her fear overcoming her immediate anger and rage toward us. "I warned you to leave it alone, but you couldn't help digging things up!""We were just trying to help!" I replied with a harsh tone towards her. She was a betrayal. A woman who is like a chameleon."You were being reckless!" she said with a more thick voice. "This isn't a g

    Anna POVThe silence in my apartment was heavy. It had been days since the gala, but I could still feel Alistair Croft’s eyes on me. I know your face. I feared at every sound, convinced every car that passed by was him and his own men.Hae-Jae watched me pace the room, his face etched with deep concern. “Anna, you need to sleep. Or eat. Or something.”“I can’t,” I said, wrapping my arms around my chest. “He knew, Hae-Jae. The whole time, he knew who I was. It was a game to him.”“And Max got the photo,” Hae-Jae said, trying to find a bright side. “We have a name now. Phase 3. That’s something.”“It’s nothing!” I snapped, my emotions almost over riding me. “A name without a meaning. Max risked everything for a blurry picture of words we don’t understand. And for what? So his friend could smirk at me?”“He told you to get out. He warned you,” Hae-Jae pointed out softly.“After he got me in!” I took a deep breath, trying to calm down. “I’m sorry. I’m just… I’m scared. And I’m angry. At a

    ( A week later)Anna POVThe black shimmer dress, one of the most expensive dresses in my own fashion world. The silk was cold against my skin, and glinting under the shining light in the ball room. I stood at the edge of the glittering ballroom, a stranger in a room full of people who smelled like old money and new secrets. This was the Croft Charity Gala. The lion's den. The place where all my enemies where.My fake ID and borrowed invitation felt like they were burning hole as by chest race by each person pass by. This was insane. But after hitting the digital wall with Argus, it was the only move left. We needed to get closer.A text vibrated from my phone I held.Unknown: You’re here. Don’t look so nervous. You belong here more than they do.I didn’t need to ask who it was. Max. Somewhere in this crowd, he was watching. My eyes scanned the room, finally landing on him. He stood near the podium, the perfect son. A sharp black tuxedo, hair styled, a glass of champagne in his hand.

    Anna POVThe computer cafe was quiet after hours. The only sound was the hum of the standing fan in the room. Number 20 the computer cafe, felt like a secret bunker. Max’s text had been specific. Blind spot. 4 PM.Hae-Jae was already there, his fingers flying across a keyboard. He’d connected his own laptop to the cafe's system, a tangle of wires snaking across the desk.“This is so stupid,” he muttered, not looking up as I walked in. “Taking advice from the enemy. This is how people in horror movies get killed.”“He’s not the enemy right now,” I said, my voice sounding more cooler to my ears. I pulled the strange black USB drive from my pocket. It felt heavier than it should. “The people who broke into my apartment are the enemy and am just using him before I take him back as my enemy."“They’re on the same team, Anna!” Hae-Jae finally looked at me, his glasses slipping down his nose. “Max’s and his entire friend/company group is the enemy. He’s just changing the game.”“Maybe,” I sa

    Anna POVThe silence in the beach house was thick enough to hear the sound of a fallen needle. "Did you tell him?" Max whispered the words to me, in a very low voice and tone.I shook my head, a tiny, slow movement. I hadn’t. I’d done exactly what Max said. I just came here all alone without leaving any trace.“Hae-Jae?” My voice came out as a dry. “What are you doing here?”The flashlight beam came closer to myself and Max. “Looking for you! You scared me to death, Anna. You weren’t home. You weren’t answering your phone. I’ve been driving around for an hour.” His voice was filled with ultimate truthfulness. His expression showed he has been truly search all over. “Then I remembered you talking about this place once. A dumb guess. And I saw his car parked down the road.”He said his car like it was a dirty word or a forbidden word. The Shari beam of the light almost left us blind us for a second.“Get that light out of my face,” Max growled, his voice low and dangerous.“Or what?”
