Episode 10: A Dangerous Distance

[Scene: Elia’s Apartment – Trying to Move On 😞]

Days had passed since Elia walked away from Zavier. She told herself it was for the best. She needed space, needed to breathe. But the silence in her apartment felt deafening.

She sat by the window, staring at the city lights. 🌆 London felt different now. Like something was missing. Like someone was missing.

Her phone vibrated. A message from Areeba.

📲 Areeba: How’s life in London, superstar? Missing us yet? 😜💖

Elia smiled weakly. She missed home. She missed normalcy.

But most of all, she missed him.

She shook her head, pushing the thought away. She had to focus on herself.

But fate had other plans.

[Scene: The Underground Syndicate – The Plan Unfolds 🕶️💀]

Adrian Locke sat in his office, smirking as he tossed a file onto the table. Inside were photos of Elia.

"She’s been quiet," one of his men noted. "Maybe she’s out of the game."

Adrian chuckled. "Oh, she’s very much in the game. She just doesn’t know it yet."

He leaned back, fingers tapping against his desk. "Zavier Khan will burn this city to the ground for her. And we’re going to use that."

A dark grin spread across his face. "Bring her in. Let’s see how far we can push him." 😈

[Scene: Zavier’s Penthouse – An Unexpected Call 📲🔥]

Zavier stood on the balcony, staring at the city below. Since Elia left, he hadn’t been the same. He told himself it was better this way. She was safer without him.

Then his phone buzzed.

📲 Unknown Number.

He answered, his voice cold. "Who is this?"

A familiar voice chuckled. "I told you, Khan. Everyone has a weakness."

Zavier’s body tensed. "Locke."

Adrian’s voice was smooth, mocking. "You should really keep an eye on your little artist. She’s quite… unprotected."

Zavier’s heart stopped.

"Where is she?" his voice was deadly.

Adrian only laughed. "Come find out."

Click. The call ended.

Zavier’s blood boiled. He grabbed his gun, eyes burning with rage.

No one. No one touched what was his.

[Scene: A Darkened Alley – Elia’s Mistake 😱]

Elia had been walking back from a café when she noticed someone following her. Again.

Her pulse quickened. Not this again.

She turned a corner, hoping to lose them—but ran straight into a man blocking her path.

She stumbled back, heart pounding. "Excuse me—"

The man smirked. "Sorry, darling. No escaping this time ."

Before she could react, a cloth was pressed against her mouth.

The world spun.

Darkness swallowed her.

[Scene: A Warehouse – Elia’s Nightmare 💀]

Elia woke up, her head pounding. She was tied to a chair, the room dimly lit.

A voice spoke from the shadows. "You’re more trouble than I expected."

Adrian Locke stepped forward, smirking.

Elia glared at him. "Who the hell are you?"

Adrian chuckled. "The man who's about to break Zavier Khan."

Her stomach twisted.

"You think he’s coming for you, don’t you?" Adrian mused. "Let’s see how much he’s willing to sacrifice."

Elia clenched her fists. "He won’t play your game."

Adrian smirked. "Oh, sweetheart. He already is."

[Scene: Zavier’s Arrival – A Storm is Coming ⚡]

A black car screeched to a halt outside the warehouse. 🚗💨

Zavier stepped out, his gun loaded, his rage barely contained. His eyes were lethal. 💙🔥

He looked at the building before him. Elia was inside.

And nothing would stop him from getting her back .
