Semua Bab Little Emily: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Xender's POVDriving through the city with my friends, the night air was filled with laughter and the scent of adventure. It was one of those rare evenings where we decided to forget all our troubles and just enjoy ourselves. Kingston was in the passenger seat, while Antonio and Ryan occupied the back, all of us sharing stories and jokes."Man, we haven't had a night out like this in ages," Ryan said, leaning forward to be part of the conversation."Yeah, it's good to just chill for once," Antonio added, his head resting against the window.I nodded, feeling the same sense of relief. It had been a long time since we’d had the chance to unwind like this.As we turned onto a quieter street, the mood suddenly shifted. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a girl sprinting down the sidewalk, her face etched with fear. She glanced over her shoulder, and that’s when I noticed a group of men chasing after her."Guys, look!" I shouted, pointing towards the scene.Kingston’s eyes widened. "Shit,

### Kelsey's POVWalking out of the gym with Mario felt like a small step toward reclaiming a part of myself that I had locked away. The night air was cool and refreshing, and as we headed to Mario's house, I felt lighter, like a burden had been momentarily lifted from my shoulders."Some of the guys wanted me to ask if you would come race again," Mario mumbled as we stepped into his house. "You know it's been a while, dude."Racing. It had been ages since I last felt the adrenaline rush of a race, the roar of engines, and the sheer exhilaration of speeding down a track. It was another sanctuary of mine, a place where the world melted away, leaving only the need for speed."Sorry, man. I'd love to come. I guess I've been locked up for a while," I said with a chuckle. "I mean, my brothers are having fun while I'm here, stuck in my head."Mario grinned. "Well, tonight's the night we change that. There's a big race happening at the old airstrip. Everyone will be there. It'll be like old

Chris stood at the front of his classroom, the morning sun filtering through the windows, casting a warm glow on the eager faces of his students. As he explained a complex physics concept, he noticed their eyes light up with understanding, and he felt a familiar surge of satisfaction. Teaching had always been his dream, a passion he had nurtured since childhood. But no matter how fulfilling his job was, a shadow always lingered in the back of his mind.His baby sister, Emily, was miles away, and the thought of her absence never truly left him. Even now, as he spoke about Newton's laws of motion, his thoughts occasionally drifted to her, wondering how she was doing, what she was feeling, if she missed him as much as he missed her.After class, Chris gathered his things and headed to his office. The hallways were bustling with students, their laughter and chatter a constant background noise. He smiled and nodded at a few colleagues but felt a pang of loneliness as he shut his office doo

"The plan is finally coming together. We sent texts to Austin and Chris. What's next, boss?" The unknown person asked, his voice steady but tinged with curiosity.A deep chuckle echoed from the other end of the line, a sound that sent chills down the listener's spine. "Good," the man replied, his tone dripping with satisfaction. "First, Maya found Xender, and now the texts. What we will do next is tell Maya to make Xender fall for her. Once he’s hooked, we strike. We need to create a scenario that compels Emily to come back to her brothers again."The unknown person nodded, understanding the gravity of their mission. "Understood, boss. I'll relay the instructions to Maya. But what if Xender doesn’t fall for her? He’s known for being cautious."The man on the other end of the line chuckled again, a low, menacing sound. "Oh, he will. Maya is good at what she does. She knows how to play her part. Xender won’t know what hit him."The unknown person took a deep breath, absorbing the weight

Maya's eyes fluttered open, her head pounding with a dull ache. The room around her was unfamiliar, and it took a moment for her to realize she was no longer at the hotel. Panic surged through her as she remembered the last moments before losing consciousness. She sat up abruptly, her heart racing, and looked around the room.It was tastefully furnished but devoid of any personal touches that might hint at where she was. The bed was large and comfortable, the walls painted a soothing shade of blue. However, the door was firmly closed, and she had no idea what lay beyond it."Where am I?" she muttered to herself, trying to recall the events that led her here. The memory of Xender’s eyes, filled with anger and betrayal, flashed in her mind, and she shivered involuntarily.She heard footsteps approaching and quickly lay back down, feigning unconsciousness. The door creaked open, and she could sense someone stepping inside.“She’s still out,” a voice said softly. It was Xender.“Good. We
