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."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdy8gDCdLD
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."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1lObksDZ4
But Annabelle didn't look back. She followed Liam, her heart pounding in her chest.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuZn6GAukW
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."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK0GgYgkmL
Annabelle nodded, her mind racing. She knew Liam was right. Elijah had been manipulating her all along.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ETXs3OqVZ
But she also knew she couldn't give up. She had to keep searching for the truth, no matter the danger.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTD77rC9KW
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."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlITT17Z52R
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgnpP1PuFl
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."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjXLGcb8xs
Annabelle listened, horrified. She had stumbled into something much bigger and more sinister than she had ever imagined.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m2XSPt4oP
But she was determined to see it through. She was going to expose the Order of the Veil, no matter what it took.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQdjVTtHyl
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.'"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBflvZrqHO
Annabelle's heart skipped a beat. They had found them already.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29aygKHMfQ
Liam's eyes locked onto Annabelle's, his expression serious. "We need to move," he said. "Now."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mlAv28BIJ
Annabelle nodded, her heart racing. They quickly gathered their belongings and left the apartment, finding themselves in a deserted alleyway.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQQcFQNJZl
As they emerged onto the main street, Annabelle saw them. Men in black suits, their eyes scanning the crowd.

"We have to split up," Liam whispered, grabbing her hand. "Meet me at the old clock tower at midnight."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFHBWVzpqd
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5LktAK9LC
You are going to be alright, he said.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrDqnCUW1H
Annabelle nodded, her mind racing. She took off in one direction, the men hot on her heels.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymXXLeLcJ5
She dodged through the crowded streets, her heart pounding in her chest. She couldn't let them catch her.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6GxytcHc5
Finally, she saw a narrow opening between two buildings. She squeezed through the gap, finding herself in a hidden courtyard.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfQMUgsKl8
She leaned against the wall, catching her breath. She had lost them.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf5e1tlf4z
But as she looked up, she saw a figure watching her from the shadows.
