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."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlkLyLzMfe
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."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaqHxExDrP
But Annabelle didn't look back. She followed Liam, her heart pounding in her chest.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe96iOKFXne
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."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjWXVLe5y5
Annabelle nodded, her mind racing. She knew Liam was right. Elijah had been manipulating her all along.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yUqd3B4Kh
But she also knew she couldn't give up. She had to keep searching for the truth, no matter the danger.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJNE3zcNR1
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."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9G9Eo6GXc
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPPWmhEYyv
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."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiKYHw7C4O
Annabelle listened, horrified. She had stumbled into something much bigger and more sinister than she had ever imagined.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlUyDUijsG
But she was determined to see it through. She was going to expose the Order of the Veil, no matter what it took.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqJ3Nkf3l7
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.'"
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ374RTucZsH
Annabelle's heart skipped a beat. They had found them already.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQsAxrWVxX
Liam's eyes locked onto Annabelle's, his expression serious. "We need to move," he said. "Now."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5abpTrM2H
Annabelle nodded, her heart racing. They quickly gathered their belongings and left the apartment, finding themselves in a deserted alleyway.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrw3o6ao5q
As they emerged onto the main street, Annabelle saw them. Men in black suits, their eyes scanning the crowd.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiZQZxCa1c
"We have to split up," Liam whispered, grabbing her hand. "Meet me at the old clock tower at midnight."
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjfve4DyHa
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.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y1RRDuu9d
You are going to be alright, he said.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc3DqZQ2Ft
Annabelle nodded, her mind racing. She took off in one direction, the men hot on her heels.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIk98IURYv
She dodged through the crowded streets, her heart pounding in her chest. She couldn't let them catch her.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8s7QEdjro
Finally, she saw a narrow opening between two buildings. She squeezed through the gap, finding herself in a hidden courtyard.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MREUOqGW8
She leaned against the wall, catching her breath. She had lost them.
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJwMbPo89O
But as she looked up, she saw a figure watching her from the shadows.
