"Liam is under my control now, sweetheart," Ace sneers, tightening his grip.
Amella's eyes blaze with defiance as she confronts him, "Why do you hate him?! Leave him alone!" His hold on her neck loosens slightly.
Gripping her hair tightly, Ace looks...

Amelia groans in pain as she felt a sharp pain in her back due to the hard wall that was where she was resting upon. Her hands were tied up with chains, small cuts were starting to form on her wrists due to that.
She shook Liam who was staring straight, nothing in particular.
Liam blinks and stares at Amelia who was looking at him with a confused face.
"What?" Liam Questions. Amelia stares at him for minutes and then sighs tiredly. She was missing her home, her family and her friends. All this sudden kidnapping was too much for her to take, Liam was aware of that but he was impressed by the way Amelia is calm and collective.
"Let's go now." Amelia replied with a serious face. Liam sighs. He was disappointed with himself. He is the mafia's son but he is not able to do anything. All the years of practice and classes were going just in vain. He thought that no one can do anything to him but the situation he is in right now proved him wrong.
The light in the basement starts to flicker. Amelia and Liam looks around to see any harm near them but it was silent. The darkness and flickering lights were like the ones Amelia has seen in horror movies.
She shivers in fear when a thought comes to her mind; what if there is something paranormal in the basement?
Liam was aware of Amelia's fear of ghosts so he comes closer to her and hugs her tightly. Small tears gather in her eyes and Liam calmly rocks her fragile body. He whispers soothing words in her ears to distract her mind which was not working, unfortunately.
Suddenly, the light goes off. Amelia whimpers in fright, "Liam...what's happening?"
Liam closes his eyes for a second. He was scared too, not of the dark but of what was going to happen next. A little part of him knew what was going on but he wasn't sure about it, "I don't know love. But I promise you that I will keep you safe. I will protect you at any cost."
Amelia knew that Liam will protect her. He won't give up on her. She was grateful to have him in her life. Even though she doesn't remember when they met, she knew that they are best friends since childhood.
The door of the basement opens and a shadow emerges. Amelia was now silent with Liam's body still hugging her tightly. Their breathing was slow and steady. The person takes a few steps toward them though he was still at a good distance from them.
It was then Liam notices something in his hand. It was something small and white in colour.
The person opens the thing that was in his hands; a laptop.
He opens the laptop and his masks glow as the screen's reflections come to his face. The mask was similar to the man who was there not too long ago but it was slightly different from him.
Placing the laptop in front of the two silent figures, he leaves the room silently. The screen was showing another basement. Two figures were lying there which were recognised by Amelia almost immediately.
Her eyes widens when she saw their condition. Beaten up and soaked with blood were her two family members, her brothers...
