Emily's determination grew. She would uncover the truth.
Emily arrived at Novatech, her heart pounding. She needed answers.
"Alex, we need to talk," Emily said, her voice firm.
Alex's expression was grim. "What is it, Emily?"
"The truth about Sophia," Emily said. "And your motives."
Alex's eyes locked onto hers. "I'm trying to protect you, Emily."
"Protect me from what?" Emily demanded.
Alex's voice dropped. "Victor's men. They're after Sophia."
Emily's mind reeled. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Alex's expression softened. "I didn't want to put you in danger."
Emily's heart pounded. "I deserve the truth."
Alex nodded. "You're right. I'll tell you everything."
As Alex revealed the truth, Emily's world shifted.
Sophia was in witness protection.
Victor's men had found her.
Alex had been trying to protect Sophia.
Emily's thoughts swirled. What to believe?
But one thing was clear: Emily had to help Alex.
"Let's work together," Emily said.
Alex's eyes locked onto hers. "Together, we can bring Victor down."
The stakes were high.
But Emily was ready.
For the truth.
For justice.
