--- "Shairah, listen to us. You need to get away from here. You're not safe!" "Lina, no... what about you? I won't leave you here." I couldn't help but sob out of extreme fear. I didn't know how we ended up in this situation where we needed to hide and escape. "Shairah, listen... if he catches you, it's over for us. You know you're his target." "I don't want that... What if he catches you? Lina, I don't want you to get involved." "Oh sh*t," we looked at Jaynard who was driving. "What happened?" Lina asked Jaynard, who was now hitting the steering wheel in frustration. "Damn it, there's a checkpoint." "Turn, then." "Let's ask the police for help!" I suggested. "He's influential. If we report him to the police, it's like surrendering to him," Jaynard's response worried me even more. What are we going to do now? Where can we ask for help!? Lina and I screamed as Jaynard suddenly turned and sped off in another direction. "D*mn it! I feel like he has eyes everywhere. He's tracking us," Jaynard cursed. "Shairah, give me your bag." My hands trembled as I handed him my shoulder bag. "Wh-why?" She opened the window and threw my bag outside. "Lina, why did you do that!?" "There might be a tracker attached to your bag or phone," she replied, looking at my necklace. "Take off your necklace." Without hesitation, I removed the necklace and handed it to her. Just like my bag, she threw it outside. Memories of happy times with him flashed in my mind. The man I loved and trusted so much. I love him, but I'm scared of him now. After a while, Jaynard suddenly turned again. "Lina..." he called out to the trembling person next to me. I looked in the direction Lina was staring at and almost held my breath when I saw armed men blocking our way. My whole body trembled, and I held onto Lina. "Jaynard, turn back-- damn." We looked back and saw three cars approaching. "D*mn it!!!" Jaynard swore. "Shairah, whatever happens, don't go with him," Lina said, about to open the door before I stopped her. "Lina, are you going crazy!? Don't open that. Don't!!" I sobbed in fear. "Lina, if you go out, I'll go with you," Jaynard unbuckled his seatbelt and prepared to exit. "Shairah, whatever happens, don't get out of this car. Lock the door. After ten minutes, Hexia will arrive with his whole gang to help you escape." I shook my head and tightly held her hand. "I don't want to... Please don't go out, I don't want to lose my sister. Aren't we siblings now?" She nodded, then gently removed my hand from hers. "Just trust me." "LINA!! JAYNARD!!" They finally got out of the car. As per Lina's instructions, I locked the door and positioned myself by the window to watch them. I saw Lux getting out of one of the cars and walking towards Lina. I couldn't hear what they were saying, so I just watched their every move. "Lina, Jaynard, please come back..." I kept praying repeatedly. My eyes widened as I saw Lux forcibly pulling Lina and Jaynard into a van. Lina's words faded from my mind, and I opened the door. "SHAIRAH, GO BACK INSIDE!!!" Jaynard shouted. I screamed as Jaynard suddenly fell and grabbed his stomach in pain. "Jaynard!!" Lina screamed as she struggled. I looked at the man who did that, now staring at me. "Mine, come with me. Let's go home." I trembled as I shook my head. "L-Lux, please don't hurt them. Enough." "Shairah, get in----" "Lina!!! Lux, please don't hurt them!!!" I sobbed as I watched Lina being slapped by one of his men. "As you wish, baby... Now come here and hug me because I'm starting to lose my sanity." I don't know how we ended up like this. I don't know if I'll regret loving him because of what I'm witnessing now. It doesn't feel like love anymore, just fear.
