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."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeFN9JitF2
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."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXVstCSwbo
But Annabelle didn't look back. She followed Liam, her heart pounding in her chest.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uVQPYATry
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."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx8xMVhaoA
Annabelle nodded, her mind racing. She knew Liam was right. Elijah had been manipulating her all along.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv3yiIzP4z
But she also knew she couldn't give up. She had to keep searching for the truth, no matter the danger.

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."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziOh0n95BA
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.

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."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxnmvhMJB5
Annabelle listened, horrified. She had stumbled into something much bigger and more sinister than she had ever imagined.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEExlqF5l4z
But she was determined to see it through. She was going to expose the Order of the Veil, no matter what it took.

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.'"

Annabelle's heart skipped a beat. They had found them already.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksN2kggYZ3
Liam's eyes locked onto Annabelle's, his expression serious. "We need to move," he said. "Now."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp5Yi2YrG7
Annabelle nodded, her heart racing. They quickly gathered their belongings and left the apartment, finding themselves in a deserted alleyway.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUebOd77Gu4
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."
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI96jbGyr5W
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.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItEHn3MUBG
You are going to be alright, he said.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr3ABcGE2U
Annabelle nodded, her mind racing. She took off in one direction, the men hot on her heels.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Xtbfiai6
She dodged through the crowded streets, her heart pounding in her chest. She couldn't let them catch her.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9XXH1zegR
Finally, she saw a narrow opening between two buildings. She squeezed through the gap, finding herself in a hidden courtyard.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YGXhZNxS4
She leaned against the wall, catching her breath. She had lost them.
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1QQPWdjGl
But as she looked up, she saw a figure watching her from the shadows.
