I stood firm, anticipating Sophia's reaction. Her face twisted in anger, and she lunged at me. But instead of attacking, she laughed – a cold, calculated sound.
"You think you're clever, don't you?" she said, her eyes glinting. "But you're just a pawn, Liam. And pawns are expendable."
Suddenly, security guards appeared, surrounding me. Sophia's smile grew wider.
"Escort Liam out," she ordered. "He's no longer welcome here."
I knew I'd pushed too far. As I was led away, I realized my actions had consequences. Sophia would retaliate, and I needed to be prepared.
But what would she do next?
As I was escorted out, I knew I'd underestimated Sophia's reach. The guards handed me over to a waiting team, who "escorted" me off the premises.
I emerged into the cool night air, my phone buzzing with messages. One caught my eye – an unknown number: "Meet me at the usual place. We need to talk."
The message was cryptic, but something about it felt familiar. Could this be an ally or a trap?
I hesitated, weighing the risks. Who was behind the message, and what did they want?
I decided to take a chance, heading to the designated location – an abandoned café on the outskirts of town. The dimly lit interior revealed a familiar figure – Alexandra.
"You took a risk coming here," she said, her voice low. "Sophia's watching your every move."
I sat down, grateful for the warning. "What do you know about Eclipse?" I asked, getting straight to the point.
Alexandra handed me a folder containing classified documents. "This changes everything," she said, her eyes locked on mine.
The documents revealed shocking truths about Sophia's plan and the true extent of her power.
