Bethel was a name that was associated with the Christian society, so one would assume that only good and prospereous things would be known about this town.

But in the quiet, snow-covered town, something sinister had taken root. The air, usually still and bitterly cold, now carried a different chill—one of fear.

Someone had been taken, though no one knew it yet.

Olivia Smith sat bound to a chair, her breaths shallow in the dim light of an abandoned warehouse. The walls around her echoed the faint creak of the building, as if the place itself was alive, watching her struggle.

Cold seeped through her clothes, numbing her skin, but it wasn’t just the frigid air that made her shiver. Her wrists ached from the tightness of the rope, her mind racing.

She was a woman used to understanding people, analyzing their behavior, and dissecting their thoughts. Yet here, in this forgotten corner of the world, surrounded by emptiness, her own mind was a cage. No amount of expertise could save her now.

But something wasn’t right. The situation, the capture—it all felt wrong. This wasn’t a simple kidnapping. Whoever had taken her hadn’t made a mistake. It was personal. And even as fear gnawed at her, Olivia couldn’t help but feel there was something deeper, something hidden just out of reach.

Still, in the silence of the warehouse, Olivia’s thoughts wandered to her own secrets—the ones she kept locked away. She was more than just a victim in this story. But who was she really?

Who is Olivia Smith?
