Love In The Shadows

8."WATCHING HER"

As soon as Lianna stepped inside the rival's office building, she felt her heart race. She tried to remain composed as Rhys led her down a hallway and into the elevator, but her palms were slick with sweat

Are you sure about this?" she whispered to Rhys. "What if we get caught?"

Rhys simply shook his head. "We won't get caught. You're going to do a great job. Just remember, stay calm and have a plan B."

Plan B. Those two words kept ringing in Lianna's head. She had to think of a backup plan in case things went wrong. This was her first  assignment for Kyler, and she couldn't mess it up.

The elevator doors opened, and Rhys led Lianna down another hallway to a door marked "Private." He motioned for her to stay back as he checked if the coast was clear. After a few minutes, he gave her the go-ahead.

Lianna stepped inside the office, trying to look as inconspicuous as possible. She quickly scanned the room, searching for the best place to plant the bug. She settled on a small statue on a bookshelf near the desk. It provided a clear line of sight to the entire room, and she could easily hide the bug behind it.

As she approached the bookshelf, she heard a door creak open behind her. She froze. She knew she only had seconds before the person entered the room.

Without thinking, Lianna lunged for the statue, quickly tucked the bug behind it, and darted behind the nearby couch. A moment later, a tall man in a suit entered the room.

Lianna held her breath as he walked around the room, checking the windows and doors. He stopped in front of the bookshelf, and for a moment, Lianna thought he had spotted the bug. But then he turned, satisfied, and left the room, closing the door behind him.

Lianna let out a sigh of relief. She had done it. The bug was planted, and Kyler would soon have access to the rival's conversations. But as she made her way back to the elevator, she couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right.

Her suspicions were confirmed when she stepped out of the elevator and into a group of men, guns drawn, waiting for her. They were from the rival gang, and they had caught her in the act.

Lianna's heart sank. She had been caught, and she had no backup plan. She knew what was coming next. They were going to kill her.

But then, out of nowhere, Kyler's men appeared, guns blazing. In the chaos, Lianna managed to slip past the fray and run to safety.

As she fled, she couldn't help but wonder how Kyler had known she was in danger. Had he been watching her the whole time?
