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."

Liam nodded, his eyes never leaving Elijah's face. "Yeah, let's go."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJB9hLqzQ6
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."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCGEqyji0W
But Annabelle didn't look back. She followed Liam, her heart pounding in her chest.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKvImwrUm9
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."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKzGK4NoQ7
Annabelle nodded, her mind racing. She knew Liam was right. Elijah had been manipulating her all along.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C12fZt0fg
But she also knew she couldn't give up. She had to keep searching for the truth, no matter the danger.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaicxx9WbSO
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."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxlFGTLwxr
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.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczqnL7ABtc
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."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w8jQ0xnME
Annabelle listened, horrified. She had stumbled into something much bigger and more sinister than she had ever imagined.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sf8J8l5Od
But she was determined to see it through. She was going to expose the Order of the Veil, no matter what it took.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xW0xt1JYw
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.'"
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMkdHo05Kg
Annabelle's heart skipped a beat. They had found them already.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6qSBHqRn0
Liam's eyes locked onto Annabelle's, his expression serious. "We need to move," he said. "Now."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nzwl0fp20
Annabelle nodded, her heart racing. They quickly gathered their belongings and left the apartment, finding themselves in a deserted alleyway.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3IZHsMCF0
As they emerged onto the main street, Annabelle saw them. Men in black suits, their eyes scanning the crowd.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGNOTKbvjC
"We have to split up," Liam whispered, grabbing her hand. "Meet me at the old clock tower at midnight."
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSXIWjxKJ7
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.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBQNjagg65
You are going to be alright, he said.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg3bEW6luV
Annabelle nodded, her mind racing. She took off in one direction, the men hot on her heels.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA9OxheJmQ
She dodged through the crowded streets, her heart pounding in her chest. She couldn't let them catch her.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGYlevCnkt
Finally, she saw a narrow opening between two buildings. She squeezed through the gap, finding herself in a hidden courtyard.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2OgeiZCwK
She leaned against the wall, catching her breath. She had lost them.
330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpfW0GKEwB
But as she looked up, she saw a figure watching her from the shadows.
