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.

  • THE LAST LETTER   THE FINAL PIECE

    The field fell silent.Emma stared at the young man in disbelief."...I'm the final piece of the puzzle?"The stranger nodded."I'm afraid you are."Noah stepped in front of Emma."Who are you?""My name is Ethan Brooks.""And why should we believe you?"Ethan reached into his jacket and slowly pulled out a silver necklace.Emma gasped."No..."The necklace had belonged to her father.She recognized the small cross pendant immediately.Tears filled her eyes."Where did you get that?"Ethan looked at her sadly."Your father gave it to me."Emma shook her head."That's impossible.""He died years ago.""I know.""Then how—""He gave it to me the night before he died."Silence.Victor's face turned pale."You knew Michael Parker?"Ethan nodded."He saved my life."Emma's heart pounded."You knew my father?""Yes.""He trusted me."Emma took a step closer."Tell me everything."Ethan sighed."I will.""But not here."Noah looked around."The attackers could still be nearby."Ethan nodded.

  • THE LAST LETTER   THE ESCAPE

    BOOM!The explosion shook the entire building.Glass rained across the floor.Emma screamed as Noah pulled her behind a concrete pillar."Stay down!"Dust filled the air.Sophia covered her head while Victor grabbed Ava's arm."They found us!"A second explosion echoed outside.BOOM!The front door burst open.Gunshots rang out.Bang! Bang! Bang!Marcus Kane's men stormed into the building."Search every room!""Find the letter!""And don't let Emma Parker escape!"Noah peeked around the pillar."There are too many."Ava quickly opened a metal cabinet.Inside were two bulletproof vests, flashlights, and a folded blueprint.Victor looked surprised."You've been preparing for this.""I've had to."Ava spread the blueprint across the floor."This building used to be an old customs office."She pointed to a narrow passage."There's an underground tunnel."Emma looked up."Does it lead outside?""Yes.""But we'll have to reach the basement first."Gunfire echoed again.The attackers were g

  • THE LAST LETTER   BEFORE SUNRISE

    Rain hammered against the windshield as Victor sped through the empty streets.No one spoke.Emma's eyes remained fixed on Ava."You said Liam sent you."Ava nodded."Yes.""When?""Before he returned from London."Emma frowned."That doesn't make sense.""He knew someone was following him."Emma's heart sank."He knew he was in danger?"Ava looked down."He hoped he was wrong.""But he wasn't."Silence filled the car.Sophia wiped away her tears."Why didn't he tell us?"Ava sighed."Because he believed he could protect all of you by carrying the burden alone."Emma closed her eyes."That's exactly what Liam would do."After nearly an hour, Victor pulled the car into an abandoned warehouse district on the edge of the city.Emma looked around nervously."Why are we here?"Ava pointed toward a small brick building."I've been hiding here."Noah frowned."How do we know this place is safe?""We don't.""But it's the only place Marcus doesn't know about."They quickly hurried inside.The

  • THE LAST LETTER   THE ATTACK

    The living room disappeared beneath a thick cloud of white smoke.Emma coughed violently.She couldn't see anything."Noah!""I'm here!"His voice echoed through the smoke."Stay close to me!"Another crash shattered the silence.Someone had kicked the front door completely open.Heavy footsteps rushed into the apartment."Find the letter!" a rough voice ordered."Search everywhere!"Emma's heart pounded wildly.She clutched the letter tightly against her chest."Noah!""Emma, don't let go of my hand!"She reached out blindly until her fingers found his.Noah pulled her behind the couch."Sophia!""I'm here!" Sophia answered between coughs.Victor covered his mouth with his sleeve."They're using smoke to confuse us."One of the masked men suddenly appeared through the haze."There they are!"He charged toward Emma.Before he could reach her—Bam!Noah punched him square in the face.The attacker stumbled backward."Run!" Noah shouted.Emma grabbed Sophia's hand.The three of them rus

  • 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

    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 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.
