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."
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6f69MrfGX
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."
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXlmDi80gr
But Annabelle didn't look back. She followed Liam, her heart pounding in her chest.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2rkAgAY63
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."
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsBEpncv5N
Annabelle nodded, her mind racing. She knew Liam was right. Elijah had been manipulating her all along.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugt4YWXbnT
But she also knew she couldn't give up. She had to keep searching for the truth, no matter the danger.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMTA5JBSZn
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."
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclTvF7hKXa
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGQeLuFuaY
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."
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDx2LMY6nH
Annabelle listened, horrified. She had stumbled into something much bigger and more sinister than she had ever imagined.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvSuXIYjOT
But she was determined to see it through. She was going to expose the Order of the Veil, no matter what it took.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9nfbXVX80
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.'"
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT46R9vAKVh
Annabelle's heart skipped a beat. They had found them already.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxristOhPFl
Liam's eyes locked onto Annabelle's, his expression serious. "We need to move," he said. "Now."
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdsa9R9NGt
Annabelle nodded, her heart racing. They quickly gathered their belongings and left the apartment, finding themselves in a deserted alleyway.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzalIZkcXcQ
As they emerged onto the main street, Annabelle saw them. Men in black suits, their eyes scanning the crowd.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah4eY0ycNK
"We have to split up," Liam whispered, grabbing her hand. "Meet me at the old clock tower at midnight."
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5gEjcVina
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wtzbBjFKv
You are going to be alright, he said.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMV2yvhzXt
Annabelle nodded, her mind racing. She took off in one direction, the men hot on her heels.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qsw9jX4ID
She dodged through the crowded streets, her heart pounding in her chest. She couldn't let them catch her.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe5LfF9rrN
Finally, she saw a narrow opening between two buildings. She squeezed through the gap, finding herself in a hidden courtyard.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtau8n0INGk
She leaned against the wall, catching her breath. She had lost them.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsWepyxNQn
But as she looked up, she saw a figure watching her from the shadows.
