Rolex Something's not right,” I said, eyes fixed on the laptop. Kay glanced up. I hovered over his shoulder, watching lines of code and maps flicker across the screen, while Kay sat at one of the terminals, fingers moving across the keys.“Why do you say that? We’ve gotten his location, all we need to do is go there,” Kay said unreasonably. Well, only I knew how crafty the old man could be.“We’re not going there until he calls first. There’s no way he could have called me knowing I could easily track his phone,” I told him. He went silent afterward, realizing he’d already thought of the same possibility.“It’s a trap, a trap meant to lure us. He’s up to something, he’s playing games,” I said, tapping the desk with a restless rhythm, watching my phone face-down on the wood as I waited for his call.Then it vibrated.I knew it was him. I waited a while, with Kay giving me that look, ’you’ve been waiting for his call, why not pick it up?’ The phone stopped ringing, then started again b

MiaFeeling my body in a strange, uncomfortable position, I slowly fluttered my eyes open. For a few seconds, everything was a blur. Where was I?I wasn’t in that same room anymore. This was different, it was an open space.The last thing I remembered was the old man injecting me before everything went dark. Now, I could feel my arms again, but they weren’t tied to a bed this time. My head jerked up, and what I saw made my blood freeze. My wrists were bound, suspended high above my head, tied to the roof of an open structure.What the hell?!Panic shot through me as I looked down and saw what was beneath me….a massive deep pool of water, and reflecting the harsh lights above. A cold shiver ran down my spine. I started struggling against the ropes, twisting and pulling with all my strength to break free.“The more you struggle, the faster the rope cuts,” a familiar voice echoed through the space.I froze immediately. My gaze darted toward the entrance as he stepped inside.I glanced

Rolex“If anything happens to her, pray I don’t catch you,” I hissed. “When I do, I’ll make your death so slow and painful you’ll beg for it a thousand times, and I still won’t give you the mercy of it.” I threatened coldly.The line crackled. He chuckled darkly a pleased sound like a man enjoying a magician’s trick. “You should’ve thought of that before going to save your girlfriend first.”My jaw clenched in frustration. This was my last option. If he didn’t reveal his location himself, I wouldn’t be able to find Mia. It had already been hours, I just hoped it wasn’t too late. I swallowed hard and forced the next words out.“Send me your location, and I’ll come meet you!” I barked into the phone.There was silence for a few seconds before his voice came again. “Sure. Let’s hope today will be your last day on earth… walking straight into your own death trap.”The line went dead.Moments later, the location came through. My phone rang again….it was Kay.“Where are you, Rox?” he asked

Mia“You promised not to hurt him!” I snapped, the words coming out louder than I meant. Levi chuckled lowly, like a sound someone makes at a terrible joke. What was funny about it? Rolex didn’t respond. He stood silent, watching Levi with that dangerous calm I’d learned to fear, and I could feel him watching Levi like a man who had already counted the moves ahead. He always felt like he was holding back something.I knew him well enough to know he wouldn’t come here unprepared. He was calculated, he never walked into a trap without a plan or a safety net. Maybe he knew this would happen. Maybe he already had a backup. Or maybe he’d brought Kay. If I could get a message to Kay, he could come for Rolex.“You actually believed everything I told you?” Levi asked me in a mocking tone. The question landed heavily. He was lying again…just like always. So, what had been true? Was he even my father like he claimed? Was the contract he made me sign another one of his cruel games? “Of cou

MiaWas it just the mirror… or was it real?I raised my hands hesitantly, touching them. They felt different… firmer and heavier. I had never been this… endowed before.Something was definitely wrong with me.I leaned closer to the mirror, my fingertips brushing against my reflection. No… this wasn’t a trick of the light. My body really had changed.I tried to laugh it off, maybe I was hallucinating. Maybe it was just from being bedridden too long. Still, the unease in my gut wouldn’t leave. I washed my face and stared a moment longer, searching for something familiar. But I didn’t recognize the woman staring back.After a few minutes of freshening up, I turned to leave the restroom, but froze when I heard voices in the room outside. One was Sister Rafaella’s, the other, a man’s voice..likely the doctor’s.I hesitated, pressing my ear against the door.“I fear how she’ll react once she finds out,” Sister Rafaella said quietly. Her tone carried a deep worry I’d never heard from her b
