THE LAST LETTER THE LETTER
The room fell silent.Emma's hands trembled as she held the faded letter.A tear rolled down her cheek."My father knew Liam would save me..."She looked at Victor."What does this mean?"Victor sighed."I don't know everything.""The letter was meant for you."Emma swallowed hard and looked back at the page.She continued reading.My dearest Emma,If you're reading this, it means I couldn't protect you any longer. First, I want you to know that I love you more than anything in this world. Nothing that happens after I'm gone should ever make you doubt that.There will come a day when people begin asking questions about me. They will lie to you. They will try to make you afraid. But remember one thing... not everyone is your enemy.When that day comes, trust Liam Carter. He may not understand why he's protecting you, but he will never abandon you.Emma's vision blurred with tears.She couldn't continue.Noah gently took the letter."Should I?"Emma nodded silently.Noah continued readi
THE LAST LETTER THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ACCIDENT
Emma couldn't move.Couldn't breathe.Couldn't think.The words echoed inside her head."Your father didn't die in an accident.""No."Her voice was barely a whisper."No."Victor Reynolds lowered his eyes."I'm sorry."Emma shook her head violently."No."Tears filled her eyes."My father died in a car accident.""That's what I was told.""That's what everyone told me."Victor sighed."Because that's the story Marcus Kane wanted everyone to believe."The room fell silent.Noah slowly sat down.Sophia looked equally shocked.Emma felt her knees weaken."My father..."Victor nodded."He was murdered."The world stopped.Emma burst into tears."No."Victor's face filled with guilt."I wish I were lying."Emma's hands trembled."Why?""Why would anyone kill him?"Victor looked away."Because he knew something.""What?"Victor hesitated.Then pulled another photograph from his coat pocket."This."Emma took it carefully.It showed her father standing beside Liam's father.Both men were sm
THE LAST LETTER THE MAN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH
Emma couldn't breathe.The image on her phone felt like a nightmare.The bracelet.Liam's bracelet.Covered in blood.And beneath it—"Next time, we'll send his body.""No."Tears blurred her vision."No."Sophia burst into tears.Meanwhile, Noah grabbed the phone from Emma's trembling hands.His jaw tightened."They're trying to scare us."Emma looked at him."What if they're telling the truth?""They're not.""But what if Liam is—""No."Noah's voice was firm."Liam is alive."Emma wanted to believe him.She really did.But every minute that passed felt like another step toward losing Liam forever.That night, none of them slept.Emma sat by the window.Watching the rain.Thinking.Praying.Hoping.Her phone remained silent.No calls.No messages.Nothing.The silence was torture.Around 3 a.m., a knock echoed through the apartment.Emma froze.Noah immediately stood up."Stay here."Another knock.Slow.Deliberate.Sophia's face turned pale."They found us."Noah moved toward the d
THE LAST LETTER TOO LATE
"No!"Emma screamed."Liam!"But the line had already gone dead.Her hands trembled as she stared at Noah's phone."Noah, call him back!"Noah quickly redialed.Once.Twice.Ten times.Nothing.His calls went straight to voicemail.Sophia collapsed into a chair, sobbing uncontrollably."No.""No.""This is my fault."Emma turned toward her."No."Sophia shook her head."If I never came back into his life—""No.""He wouldn't be suffering because of me."Emma grabbed her shoulders."We're going to save him."Sophia cried harder."What if we're too late?"Noah stood up."We won't be."Both women looked at him.His expression had changed.He wasn't scared anymore.He was angry.Very angry."Liam is alive.""And we're bringing him home."Meanwhile…Liam slowly opened his eyes.Smoke filled the room.His ears rang.Bodies lay on the floor.Blood.Broken crates.Bullet holes.Someone had attacked the warehouse.But not the people who kidnapped him.Someone else.Liam groaned in pain.His ro
THE LAST LETTER THE WOMAN LIAM HID
Emma froze.Sophia Bennett.The woman from the pictures.The woman whose voice she had heard on the phone.The woman Liam had been hiding.And now—She was standing right in front of her.Noah instinctively stepped in front of Emma."Stay back."Sophia shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks."I'm not your enemy."Emma's eyes filled with pain."Who are you?"Sophia swallowed hard."My name is Sophia Bennett."Emma laughed bitterly."I know that."Her voice trembled."I want the truth."Sophia lowered her head."I know.""Then tell me.""Tell me why you've been with Liam all these months."Sophia closed her eyes."It's not what you think."Emma's heart broke."Then what is it?"Sophia looked up.Her eyes were red from crying."Liam never cheated on you."Emma stared at her."What?""He loves you."Noah frowned."Then why the lies?"Sophia wiped her tears."Because of me."Emma felt anger rising inside her."What does that mean?"Sophia hesitated.Then reached into her handbag.
THE LAST LETTER Forty-Eight Hours
Emma's hands trembled.The picture of Liam tied to a chair filled her screen.His face was bruised.Blood stained his shirt.And beneath it—You have forty-eight hours left."No!"Tears streamed down her cheeks."Liam."Noah quickly grabbed the phone.His expression darkened."This is bad."Emma looked at him desperately."We have to save him.""We will.""Noah, look at him."Her voice broke."They hurt him."Noah's heart sank.Despite everything, Liam was still his best friend.And seeing him like that made his blood boil."We need the police.""No."Noah frowned."Emma.""They said forty-eight hours.""What if they kill him?""What if we do nothing?"Emma burst into tears."I can't lose him."Noah gently held her shoulders."We won't."But deep down, he wasn't sure.---Inside the warehouse, Liam coughed weakly.His entire body ached.Across from him sat the scar-faced man.Watching.Smiling.Enjoying every second."You know, Liam."The man lit a cigarette."I almost admire your loy
THE LAST LETTER The voice on the phone
Emma stood frozen.Her phone slipped from her trembling fingers and landed on the couch.Noah quickly picked it up."Emma?"She looked pale."She's alive.""Who?""Sophia Bennett."Noah frowned."The woman from the pictures?"Emma nodded."T-that was her."Noah stared at her in disbelief."What did
THE LAST LETTER CHAPTER THREE: THREE HEART
Emma stared at the final sentence for a long moment."This isn't a goodbye. It's a warning."The words echoed in her mind.A warning?About Noah?The idea felt absurd.Noah Bennett was the last person she would ever be afraid of.He had spent the past six months helping her survive the darkest peri
THE LAST LETTER CHAPTER TWO: A DEAD MAN'S LETTER
Emma stared at the paper in her hands.The rain outside seemed louder now.Every drop striking the window felt like a countdown.For several seconds, she couldn't move.Couldn't breathe.Couldn't think.The words blurred before her eyes.If you're reading this, Emma, then I'm already gone.Gone.Th
THE LAST LETTER CHAPTER ONE: THE ENVELOPE
The television flickered softly in the corner of the room.Emma Parker sat curled up on the expensive cream-colored couch in her apartment, her legs tucked beneath her. The room was dim except for the warm glow of a floor lamp and the blue light from the television screen.Outside, rain tapped gent
