The road was empty.
Streetlights passed like shadows.
Ayesha drove slowly.
Her hands were tight on the steering wheel.
Her heart felt heavy.
"Why does everything hurt so much…" she whispered.
Suddenly—
Headlights flashed behind her.
Too close.
Too fast.
A black SUV.
Her breath caught.
"Why is it following me?"
She pressed the accelerator.
The SUV followed.
Faster.
Closer.
Her phone rang.
Zayn.
She hesitated.
Then answered.
"Zayn… someone is following me."
"What? Where are you?!" he shouted.
Before she could answer—
BANG!
The SUV hit her car from behind.
She screamed.
The steering shook.
Her car swerved.
"Zayn!" she cried.
"I'm on Riverside Road—"
CRASH!
Her car hit the side barrier.
Glass shattered.
The phone fell.
Disconnected.
Zayn's Panic
"Hello? Ayesha?!"
Silence.
Zayn's heart stopped.
"No… no… no…"
He grabbed his keys.
"Track her phone. Now!" he ordered.
His team rushed.
GPS appeared.
Riverside Road.
He ran.
At the Crash Site
Smoke filled the air.
Ayesha was dizzy.
Blood on her forehead.
She tried to move.
But strong hands grabbed her.
"Let me go!" she screamed.
A cloth covered her mouth.
Darkness.
Adrian's Hideout
Cold.
Metal walls.
Dim light.
Ayesha woke up.
Her hands were tied.
A voice clapped slowly.
"Well done," Adrian said.
He stepped forward.
Smiling.
"Welcome, sister-in-law."
Her blood ran cold.
"You… are Adrian."
He bowed slightly.
"Smart girl."
"Zayn took everything from me," he continued.
"My father. My company. My life."
"So now… I'll take you."
Tears filled her eyes.
"I'm pregnant," she whispered.
"Please… don't hurt my baby."
Adrian's smile faded.
"Then pray," he said coldly,
"That Zayn comes in time."
Zayn Arrives
Police cars.
Security.
Zayn stood at the crash site.
Looking at the broken car.
Blood.
Glass.
"Find her," he whispered.
"Even if I have to burn the world."
Adrian picked up his phone.
Called Zayn.
And said—
"Come alone… or she dies."
