Episode 13: Torn Between Two Worlds

[Scene: A Safe House – The Aftermath of Chaos 🏚️]

The dimly lit safe house smelled of damp wood and cold air. Elia sat on the worn-out couch, her hands trembling 😰 as she replayed everything that had happened.

Adrian. The gunshot. Zavier saving her.

Her world had turned upside down in just a few hours. Nothing made sense anymore. 💔

Zavier paced in front of her, his jaw tight, his fists clenched. 😠 His frustration was evident, but underneath it, there was something else. Worry.

"You should’ve never been involved in this," he muttered, running a hand through his hair. His normally cold blue eyes flickered with something unreadable. 😤

Elia swallowed hard. "I didn’t have a choice, Zavier." Her voice was barely above a whisper.

Zavier turned sharply, his gaze locking onto hers. "You always have a choice, Elia!" His voice was rough, filled with emotions he didn’t dare name.

She flinched at his tone, but then her own frustration boiled over. "Really? Then tell me—was it my choice to be kidnapped? Was it my choice to be caught between you and Adrian?" 😡

Zavier’s jaw clenched. He had no answer.

The silence between them stretched, heavy and suffocating.

[Scene: A Dark Alley – Adrian’s Fury 🔥]

Meanwhile, in the shadows of London, Adrian stood by his car, his injured arm bandaged. 🩸 His dark eyes burned with fury as he replayed the night’s events.

He had lost her. Again.

One of his men hesitated before speaking. "Boss, what’s the next move?"

Adrian smirked, though his gaze was ice-cold. "Elia thinks she’s safe with Zavier. But she doesn’t know the truth yet." 😏

The man hesitated. "What truth?"

Adrian exhaled, his fingers tightening around his whiskey glass. "That Khan isn’t her hero. He’s just another man with blood on his hands." 🍷

His smirk widened. "And soon… she’ll see it for herself." 🔥

[Scene: The Safe House – A Moment of Truth 💔]

Back at the safe house, the tension between Elia and Zavier was unbearable.

Finally, she whispered, "Why do you keep saving me, Zavier?"

His breath hitched. For a moment, just a moment, he let his guard down.

"Because I can’t lose you." 💙

Elia’s heart skipped a beat. Her fingers trembled as she reached for his hand. But before she could touch him—

BANG! 🔥 A gunshot shattered the night.

Both of them froze.

Someone had found them.
