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 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

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 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
