Elowin woke up in a dimly lit, abandoned house. Her head throbbed, and her phone was nowhere to be found. As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she saw Zeyric sitting by the door, watching her with a twisted calmness.
"No one ever really cared for you," he said softly. "Not like I do. I'm going to take you somewhere far away… where no one can come between us."
Elowin's heart pounded. Fear burned through her chest, but she clenched her fists. "You're sick," she said, voice shaking
But Zeyric didn't like that.
He stepped forward, and—slap—his hand met her cheek.
"Why can't you just love me?" I want you, Elowin. You have to be mine.
othet side, Serelina noticed something was off. Elowin hadn't answered any of her texts or calls, and her dorm bed remained untouched. Her gut twisted with worry.
Meanwhile, Zeyric had cut off all communication with Nozaria, leaving her panicked. She never thought things would go this far.
Serelina stormed into Nozaria's room and slammed the door shut behind her. "Where is she?" she demanded.
"I don't know!" Nozaria cried, He stopped talking to me. I swear, I didn't agree to this!
Serelina's eyes burned. "If you don't tell me everything you know, I'll make sure everyone hears the truth—and you won't survive the shame."
Nozaria Scared, gave her the only clue she had an address Zeyric had once mentioned during a call.
Serelina wasted no time. She followed the clue, As she arrived at the location—a run-down house on the edge of town—her hands trembled. She immediately called the police and gave them the address, then stepped inside quietly.
What she saw froze her in place.
Elowin had bruises on her arms and a cut on her lip. Zeyric raised his hand again—but before it could land, Serelina rushed forward and grabbed his arm.
"Don't you dare touch her," she growled, and with all her strength, shoved him into the wall.
Elowin's tear-streaked face lit up at the sight of her.
"Serelina…" she whispered, her voice breaking.
Serelina ran to her and wrapped her in a tight embrace. "Are you hurt?" she asked softly.
"I'm fine… but I'm scared," Elowin replied, her voice trembling.
Zeyric again, this time with a knife in his hand. But Serelina was ready.
She kicked it away and landed a powerful punch straight to his face,blood burst from his nose.
Slap....
Serelina slapped him again and again, The anger finally released—until he collapsed to the ground. Elowin frightened hugged her from behind.
"Stop… please," she whispered. I'm okay now
Moments later, the police burst in,
Zeyric was dragged away, handcuffed and beaten, but he managed to spit out one final sentence as he turned to Elowin
"This isn't over… I'll be back."
