Intro.
The night was quiet and still, with only the soft rustling of leaves in the gentle breeze breaking the silence. Suddenly, the sound of a gunshot pierced the air, followed by the unmistakable click of a pistol being placed back into its holster.
Adeline sat up in bed, her heart racing as she looked around her dark room. She could see nothing, but the lingering echo of the gunshot still hung in the air. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps outside her window made her blood run cold.
She held her breath as she watched the window, her mind racing with fear. Who could be out there at this hour?
A shadowy figure slowly climbed through the window, and Adeline felt her heart drop into her stomach. It was Sevika, her bodyguards boss. She stood there in the darkness, her cold eyes fixed on Adeline.
"You think you can just leave me for some other guy?" Sevika's voice was like ice, sending shivers down Adeline's spine.
