The rain intensified as Daniel drove us toward the outskirts of the city. My hands were shaking in my lap. I demanded he tell me everything.
He sighed deeply, his knuckles white on the steering wheel.
“The people I got involved with… they didn’t just threaten me because of money. They wanted me to marry their boss’s daughter to strengthen their network. But the biggest reason they forced me to leave you was because they discovered something about your family. Your father… he used to work with them many years ago. He owed them a large debt before he passed away. They saw you as leverage.”
A chill ran down my spine. My late father had always been secretive about his past business, but I never imagined anything like this. I felt betrayed, confused, and terrified all at once.
Daniel continued, “When I found out, I panicked. I left to protect you, thinking I could solve everything and come back. But things got worse. Now they know I’m trying to expose them. And if they find out we’re together again…”
Suddenly, bright headlights appeared behind us. A car was following closely. Daniel cursed under his breath and sped up. My hoảng loạn tột độ reached its peak as I gripped the seat.
“Emma, if something happens to me, there’s a USB drive in my apartment with all the evidence. Take it to the police. Promise me.”
We eventually lost the tail and arrived at a quiet villa on the edge of the city. Inside, Daniel poured us both a drink and pulled me into a tight embrace. For a moment, it felt like old times — warm, safe, full of unspoken love.
“I never stopped loving you, Emma. These eight years destroyed me too,” he whispered against my hair.
Tears fell from my eyes as I held him. Despite everything, my heart still ached for him. But as we stood there, my phone suddenly vibrated with an unknown number. The message made my blood run cold:
“We know where you are. Bring Daniel out, or both of you will pay for what your father started.”
I showed the message to Daniel. His face hardened with determination and fear.
“This ends tonight,” he said. “But I need you to trust me completely. Are you ready to face this together?”
Standing in that villa with the man I once planned to marry, now entangled in a dangerous web from the past, I had the biggest decision of my life to make. One choice could save us… or destroy us both.
