THE DEVIL BREAKS LOOSE
The prison alarm blared across the compound.
Guards rushed through corridors, shouting commands. Sirens echoed endlessly.
In Cell 214, Serena's bed lay empty.
"She's gone!" a guard yelled.
"Serena Blackwood has escaped!"

A Nightmare Begins
Elara was at home when her phone rang.
Unknown number.
She hesitated… then answered.
"Hello?"
A familiar, venomous laugh filled her ears.
"Miss me?" Serena purred.
Elara's blood turned cold.
"You escaped…"
"Yes," Serena chuckled.
"And you're next."
The line went dead.
Elara dropped the phone, shaking.

Lucien Loses Control
Lucien burst into the room moments later after getting a security alert.
"What happened?"
"She called me," Elara whispered.
"She escaped, Lucien."
His face darkened instantly.
"I warned them she was dangerous."
He slammed his fist into the wall.
"This is my fault. I should've made sure she stayed locked away."
Elara grabbed his hand.
"No. We face this together."

The Threat
Lucien's phone buzzed.
A message popped up:
Unknown: "You took everything from me. Now I'll take your happiness."
Attached was a photo.
Elara's heart stopped.
It was her office building… taken from across the street.
"She's watching me," Elara whispered.
Lucien pulled her into his chest.
"She won't touch you. I swear."

Security Lockdown
Within hours, bodyguards surrounded their apartment.
Cameras were installed. Every exit was monitored.
Lucien issued strict orders.
"No one gets close to her without my approval."
Elara felt trapped… but safe.

Serena's Hunt
From a dark car parked across the street from Wynn Media Group, Serena watched through sunglasses.
"So pretty," she whispered.
"Perfect target."
Her lips curled.
"You stole my life, Elara. Now I'll steal your future."
