Annabelle took a step back, her eyes locked on Elijah. "I don't believe you," she said, her voice firm. "Liam, let's get out of here."
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPowGDEYucS
Liam nodded, his eyes never leaving Elijah's face. "Yeah, let's go."
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhzhgKAovL
As they turned to leave, Elijah's smile faltered, his eyes flashing with anger. "Annabelle, don't be foolish," he spat. "You need me to uncover the truth."
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVvjOhb3NY
But Annabelle didn't look back. She followed Liam, her heart pounding in her chest.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTygxt0Wl2s
As they walked away, Liam turned to her. "We need to find a safe place to hide," he said. "Elijah will stop at nothing to keep you under his control."
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DXYXbf4QH
Annabelle nodded, her mind racing. She knew Liam was right. Elijah had been manipulating her all along.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0nrWiRBf2
But she also knew she couldn't give up. She had to keep searching for the truth, no matter the danger.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstnN3aTXBL
Liam led her to a small, nondescript apartment on the outskirts of the city. "This is a safe house," he explained. "We can hide out here for a while."
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwlFmPKJyF
Annabelle nodded, still trying to process everything that had happened. She couldn't believe she had trusted Elijah, that she had let him manipulate her for so long.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6ENvi4AYd
As they settled into the apartment, Liam began to explain his research on Elijah and the Order of the Veil. "They're a secret society," he said. "They've been hiding in plain sight for centuries, pulling the strings from behind the scenes."
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcCQpDWM0g
Annabelle listened, horrified. She had stumbled into something much bigger and more sinister than she had ever imagined.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYpwM3ij52
But she was determined to see it through. She was going to expose the Order of the Veil, no matter what it took.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbBqpbqZQg
Just then, Liam's phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen, his expression grim. "It's a message from an unknown number," he said. "It says, 'We know where you are. You can't hide forever.'"
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctJnkmmyPD
Annabelle's heart skipped a beat. They had found them already.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQGpHVYJDl
Liam's eyes locked onto Annabelle's, his expression serious. "We need to move," he said. "Now."
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwN8WCHvXL
Annabelle nodded, her heart racing. They quickly gathered their belongings and left the apartment, finding themselves in a deserted alleyway.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwLDhqikpQ
As they emerged onto the main street, Annabelle saw them. Men in black suits, their eyes scanning the crowd.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3jbwlCpHC
"We have to split up," Liam whispered, grabbing her hand. "Meet me at the old clock tower at midnight."
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjUcDrrXCo
Liam wait. Annabelle stopped him, her shivering hands held on to him for dear life. He carefully uncovered her hands from his and placed a tender kiss at the corner of her lips.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqXYzO4GBR
You are going to be alright, he said.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LhvjlAr2X
Annabelle nodded, her mind racing. She took off in one direction, the men hot on her heels.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3fUkfE4zi
She dodged through the crowded streets, her heart pounding in her chest. She couldn't let them catch her.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3k2dyOekH
Finally, she saw a narrow opening between two buildings. She squeezed through the gap, finding herself in a hidden courtyard.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mj6lPvG83
She leaned against the wall, catching her breath. She had lost them.
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVbheIjsUN
But as she looked up, she saw a figure watching her from the shadows.
