Chapter 7 - A DESPERATE MOVE

Desperate and unhinged, she grabbed a terrified Lily from her bed, dragging her toward the estate’s private helipad. Elena, who had been pacing the hallways unable to sleep, heard the muffled cries. Without waiting for backup, she sprinted into the torrential rain, her heart pounding as she chased the woman who had stolen her life.
