View MoreAs Don was taken away, Evelyn felt a swirl of conflicting emotions. Part of her was relieved that he had been arrested. But another part was worried that he might escape yet again - so she wondered why he was kept alive and not executed on the spot.Surprised by her unusual thoughts of violence, she brushed them from her mind. She was a doctor and wasn't supposed to think like that. A wave of shame washed over her. Evelyn turned to Rebecca. "Are you alright?" She asked once again.Rebecca sighed. "Yes, I'm okay. I'm just confused...""About what?" Evelyn prodded gently. She knew something was amiss, though she still couldn't understand the confrontation between Rebecca and Don over Victor.Rebecca looked at her friend, unsure how to explain her discovery about Victor. "He - he is human.""What? Who is?" Evelyn's brow furrowed in confusion."Victor," Rebecca elaborated, her voice wavering. "He wasn't wearing his ring when they wheeled him outside. I tried to stop them from taking him
Amid the chaotic raid, Evelyn burst through the doors, frantic. She scanned the lobby desperately, praying Michael wasn't caught in the crossfire between WestHaven's forces and Don's mercenaries. Finally, she spotted him conversing with General Thomas and the police captain. Relieved, she rushed forward. "Michael!" He turned at her voice. Before he could react, Evelyn leaped into his arms, legs wrapped around his waist as she kissed him fervently. Michael was shocked by her presence but quickly lost himself in his wife's passionate embrace. Just minutes ago he had resigned himself to death, wishing to see Evelyn one last time. Now she was here - a miracle.After a moment, they broke apart, foreheads touching. "Evelyn? What are you doing here?" he asked breathlessly."What do you think? I came for you," she said fiercely, dropping back to the floor but clinging to his shirt.Michael glanced around the destroyed lobby, debris littering the floor amidst armed soldiers. "Honey, it's s
There was a thick numbness in the air, Michael could feel his heart racing. He was unarmed, outnumbered and outmaneuvered. He couldn't do anything but glare up at Don in contempt, his knees resting on the ground. Don smirked down at him. "Why the long face? I haven't even done anything yet - except kill several prisoners you helped break free."Michael clenched his fists in silent fury, trying to contain the deep hatred he felt towards Don."Bring them over," Don ordered his men surrounding the captives, including Jocelyn and Irene. They were dragged forward, forced to kneel next to Michael, and bound. In unison, they held their heads high - accepting their fate with dignity. None showed outward signs of being terrified, though shivers coursed down their spines. "There were about twenty of you. Now look at yourselves, reduced to what? Eight? Nine?" Don smirked as he counted the escaped captives.He paced around them and stopped behind the first prisoner, then shot him point-blank
As soon as the elevator was full, Irene flung one last grenade down the corridor before diving in through the closing doors, bullets whizzing past.The car began its rickety ascent with everyone inside tending to the wounded as best they could. Jocelyn gripped her brother's arm tightly, her face pale."That was too damn close..." Michael muttered, catching his breath. He looked at Irene grimly. "What do you think we're going to face when we get up there?"She shook her head soberly. "I don't know. But it's our only way out now."The elevator rattled upwards towards an uncertain fate in the main facility above.Michael and the others gripped their weapons tightly, knowing they would likely face more enemy resistance as soon as the doors opened again. Jocelyn pressed herself against her brother, her eyes squeezed shut as she tried not to think about the firefights they'd already endured to get this far. Michael gave her hand a reassuring squeeze, his jaw set in determination.Irene and
Michael and Irene led the team back down to the prison area. Although they moved swiftly and cautiously through the hallways, they still had to shoot their way through several enemy soldiers. The gunshots alerted more of the enemy forces to their location but they still did their best to pull through.When they reached the door to the prison, Michael quickly unlocked it with the keys he had taken earlier. Jocelyn rushed over, relieved to see her brother was okay."Thank god you're back! We heard gunfire -what's going on?" she asked worriedly."We had a run-in with some of the guards but it's handled," Michael reassured her. "We found Irene's team, so now we can get everyone out of here."Jocelyn looked around to see if Victor was among the men that arrived with her brother. "We couldn't find Victor," Michael said softly when he noticed her gaze on Irene's men.After seeing the reinforcements that Irene and Michael had brought along with them, some of the former captives looked relie
Michael paused after his sister told him that Victor had also been captured, and separated from the rest of the captives."My priority now is to get you out of this place." He ignored her and continued heading for the door. "No, what about Victor?" Jocelyn asked."He can take care of himself."Jocelyn struggled in his arms. "Put me down! I won't leave him behind!" She protested. Michael sighed. "Why the hell do you care about that moron?" He was beginning to tire of his sister's tantrums."He saved my life," she replied weakly.After releasing the rest of the captives, Irene walked up to Michael. "We can't leave now. Not until I find my team," she said."Is that Irene?" Jocelyn asked, surprised to see her brother's ex.Irene brushed the strands of hair covering Jocelyn's face. "Hey, darling. We're going to get you out, I promise.""Yeah, thanks," she replied. Michael looked around at the sunken faces of the people that filled up the prison. There were about fifteen of them, tota
At Wolvetin castle, Evelyn and her in-laws were worried sick about the whereabouts of Michael. They knew it wasn't a coincidence that He and Irene disappeared on the same day. So after several findings and investigations, they concluded that Michael and Irene had both gone to the building where Don was last spotted.Mr. Wolf knew something had to be done to protect his son and family, so he called in favors from friends in various security agencies.Soon, his living room was packed with key figures from the Army and Police - Mayor Solomon Drew, General Thomas Kirk of the WestHaven armed forces, and Captain George Hull of the WHPD.Mr. Wolf welcomed his guests before getting straight to the point. "I requested you all here because of an individual who has been terrorizing our city for far too long," he continued. "I have discovered the possible hideout of this terrorist from a reliable source, and I want your help in taking him down."The mayor cleared his throat. "How reliable is thi
The next day, Irene left her room very early in the morning. She could hardly sleep throughout the night after she ordered her team to check out where the hidden tunnel Don escaped through. She hadn't heard back from her team, so she decided to check it out herself. In the dark, she walked quietly to the main door that led outside when she heard a sound from behind. She turned quickly and pointed her flashlight at the shadow moving towards her. "Michael?" She said quietly. "What are you doing here?" "I know where you are going and I am coming with you" He whispered.Irene sighed. "No, I don't need your help""It doesn't matter and you can't stop me" He walked past her and opened the door. "You coming?" Irene pondered for a few seconds before agreeing. "Alright. But just follow my lead" She said before they both walked outside the door. As quietly as possible, they opened the gate and drove out of the compound. Michael didn't want to wake up his wife and parents because they would
After several minutes, they arrived at Wolventin Castle and were greeted by Michael's parents - they had been worried sick after hearing that their daughter-in-law was attacked in her place of work."Hey, darling. How are you doing?" Mrs. Wolf asked Evelyn after she stepped out of the car."I'm fine, ma'am," she replied to her mother-in-law.Mrs. Wolf hugged her affectionately. "I'm glad that you are alright.""I'm glad too," Evelyn replied.Mrs. Wolf held her cheeks. "You look pale. I'm not sure you've eaten, have you?""No, I haven't since this morning.""Thankfully, dinner is ready. Let's go inside," she held Evelyn's hand.Mr. Wolf walked up to Evelyn and patted her shoulder. "You did well," he said as he made way for Evelyn and his wife to enter the castle.Michael went back to his car to pick up his phone when his father came up to him."Did you learn why Don took a risk to attack Evelyn at St. Anne's Hospital?" Mr. Wolf asked his son."No, Father, no one knows but Evelyn, and I
