Hazel's car sped through the quiet night streets.
Her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as her mind replayed Abi's frightened voice over and over again.
"They took me… please hurry."
Hazel pressed harder on the accelerator.
She didn't even notice how fast she was driving.
All she could think about was her sister.
No matter what had happened between them…
Abi was still family.

Back at Valeria's house, the atmosphere had turned tense.
Valeria stood near the window, watching Hazel's car disappear down the street.
Something about the situation felt terribly wrong.
She quickly picked up her phone and dialed Luca.
He answered almost immediately.
"Valeria?"
"HazeI just left," she said.
"What do you mean she left?"
"She said Abi was in trouble. Someone called her."
Luca's voice hardened instantly.
"That doesn't make sense."
"I know," Valeria replied.
There was a brief pause before she continued.
"I think it's a trap."
Luca didn't hesitate.
"I'm on my way."
Valeria ended the call and turned toward two security men standing nearby.
"Follow her," she ordered.
"Do not let her know you're there."
The men nodded and immediately left.
Valeria crossed her arms as worry filled her chest.
"Please be careful, Hazel," she whispered.

Meanwhile, inside an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city, Camilla paced impatiently.
"This girl should be here by now," she muttered.
Abi sat nearby, pretending to look frightened.
Inside, however, her mind was calculating every move.
Camilla thought she was the one in control.
But Abi had her own plans.
Once Hazel was out of the picture…
Camilla would be the next problem to disappear.
Abi hid a small smile.
Two birds.
One stone.
Across the room, Camilla stopped pacing and looked at her.
"You really hate your sister that much?"
Abi shrugged casually.
"She's always been in my way."
Camilla studied her carefully.
"You're colder than I thought."
Abi smirked slightly.
"You haven't seen anything yet."
Camilla turned away.
But inside her own mind, another thought was forming.
Abi might be useful now…
But she was far too dangerous to keep around.
Once Hazel was gone…
Abi would no longer be needed either.
Both women were smiling quietly.
Each believing the other was simply a tool.

A few minutes later, headlights appeared outside the warehouse.
Hazel's car slowly pulled to a stop.
Her heart was racing.
She stepped out quickly, looking around nervously.
"Abi?" she called.
The large metal door creaked open.
Inside, Camilla stood waiting.
Hazel froze instantly.
Her blood ran cold.
"You…"
Camilla smiled slowly.
"Hello, Hazel."
Hazel's eyes widened in horror.
Then she saw something that hurt even more.
Abi.
Standing behind Camilla.
Free.
Untied.
Perfectly calm.
The truth hit Hazel like a storm.
"This was a trap," she whispered.
Abi crossed her arms.
"Finally figured it out?"
Hazel's heart shattered.
"You lied to me…"
Abi's expression was cold.
"You're too easy to fool."
But neither of them noticed something else.
In the distance…
Several black vehicles had quietly stopped.
Security teams stepped out silently.
And inside one of the cars…
Luca watched the warehouse with dark eyes.
The trap had been set.
But the hunters were about to become the hunted
