Все главы Master Adonis's Maid: Глава 71 - Глава 80

The forest was eerily silent as they moved, the only sounds coming from the rustling of leaves underfoot and the distant calls of birds. Ashley's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, the weight of the situation pressing down on her like a physical burden. Amelia walked beside her, her face pale and drawn, eyes flicking nervously from one shadow to another. Jackson led the way, his broad shoulders and steady gait a reassuring presence in the otherwise unsettling surroundings.As they made their way to the safe house, Ashley couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched. The dense trees offered concealment, but they also concealed dangers, both seen and unseen. Every snap of a twig, every rustle of leaves, set her on edge, her heart pounding in her chest. She cast a glance at Amelia, whose expression mirrored her own anxiety. Amelia had been through so much already—too much. The thought of her sister suffering more was unbearable, and it fueled Ashley’s resolve to see this through, no matte

The night was cold as they moved through the silent city streets, their breaths visible in the frosty air. Ashley clutched the new passport tightly in her hand, the weight of it grounding her in the moment. This small booklet represented more than just a new identity—it was their lifeline, the key to a future free from the shadows of their past.Amelia walked beside her, her face pale but resolute. Jackson led the way, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings for any sign of danger. They had managed to avoid detection so far, but Ashley knew that every step they took brought them closer to the final, most perilous part of their journey.The smuggling route lay ahead, a dangerous path fraught with risks. It was a trail used by those desperate to escape, like them, and it was heavily guarded by mercenaries loyal to the highest bidder. But it was also their only chance, the only way out of the country without alerting Adonis to their movements.“Stay close,” Jackson murmured, his vo

Ashley woke to the sound of hushed voices. For a moment, she wasn’t sure where she was or what had happened. The room was dim, the only light coming from a small lamp on a nearby table. Her body ached, the pain in her side a constant, throbbing reminder of her injury. But she was alive, and the fear that had gripped her before she blacked out had receded slightly.Slowly, she turned her head toward the source of the voices. Jackson and Victor were speaking quietly in the corner of the room, their faces obscured by the shadows. Amelia sat beside her, her hand still wrapped around Ashley’s, her eyes heavy with worry and exhaustion.Ashley tried to speak, but her throat was dry and her voice cracked. Amelia immediately turned to her, her expression softening with relief. “Ashley,” she whispered, squeezing her hand gently. “You’re awake.”Ashley managed a weak smile. “How long…?” she asked, her voice barely audible.“Just a few hours,” Amelia replied, brushing a strand of hair away from A

The plane rocketed down the runway, the engines roaring as it picked up speed. The rattling of bullets against the fuselage sent chills down Ashley’s spine, but she forced herself to keep her eyes forward, focusing on the horizon. The cabin was tense, the air thick with fear and adrenaline.Amelia’s hand was clutched tightly in Ashley’s, her knuckles white from the grip. She stared straight ahead, her face pale, eyes wide with shock and disbelief. Ashley could feel her sister trembling beside her, and she squeezed her hand in an attempt to offer some semblance of comfort.As the plane lifted off the ground, a brief moment of relief washed over Ashley. They were airborne, escaping the chaos below. But that relief was short-lived. She knew the danger was far from over. Adonis wouldn’t let them go so easily.Jackson’s voice crackled through the intercom, his tone urgent. “We’re not out of this yet. Stay buckled in. This could get rough.”The plane climbed higher, leaving the airstrip and

The night seemed darker as the minutes ticked by, each second pulling Ashley deeper into a world she never imagined she’d be part of. The cold metal of the chair she sat on seeped through her clothes, but it was the icy fear in her heart that truly chilled her. Across the table, Victor and Jackson continued to discuss their next move, but Ashley’s mind was elsewhere.Amelia sat close by, her eyes glazed with exhaustion and fear. Ashley reached out, taking her sister’s hand in hers, offering what little comfort she could. They had been through so much already, but she feared the worst was still to come.Victor’s voice cut through her thoughts. “We have to assume Adonis knows you’re alive. He’ll double his efforts to find you now that you’ve slipped through his fingers.”Ashley nodded, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside her. “What’s our next step? We can’t just keep running.”Victor leaned forward, his sharp eyes locking onto hers. “No, you can’t. But you also can’t face Adonis
