At OMEGA Taskforce HQ, things ran like clockwork. But deep in the surveillance section, Nico sat buried in screens and files—fully absorbed in his assignment from Greyson. It was demanding, but he was in his element.
Suddenly, an operator at a nearby station called out urgently,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0EG6XDgSk
“Hey, Nico! You need to see this—right now!”
Nico rushed over, leaning in. The screen displayed something he wasn’t expecting.
He froze.
“…Holy shit.”
Grabbing his phone, he sprinted to the elevator, already dialing as the screen behind him flickered—warning of the breach Greyson had feared.
....................................................
Greyson was speeding down the road, his car slicing through the wind like a bullet. Suddenly, his phone buzzed. He glanced briefly at the screen, then answered the call through his Air Pod, his voice turning sharp and serious.
“Yes, Nico? What’s going on?”
“Sir,” Nico’s breath was ragged, panic evident in his tone, “your home’s security system has been breached—and the CCTV footage has frozen. Something’s definitely wrong.”
Greyson’s jaw clenched. In a flash, he slammed the brakes. The car screeched to a halt, tires shrieking on the asphalt. Veins bulged at his temples, his fury barely contained.
“Get a team of elite shooters from the agency,” he barked. “Go to my house now. They cannot take Lena.”
He cut the call short and spun the car around, racing toward his home like a storm unleashed.
...............................................
“Thank you,” Lena smiled warmly at the maid, her voice light as she picked up her fork and knife and began enjoying her pancakes with elegant bites. The maid nodded with a polite smile and exited the room quietly.
Tray in hand, she descended the stairs toward the kitchen—but just as she turned the corner, a strong hand gripped her neck and slammed her against the wall.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3cOrVcQsi
The tray clattered to the ground. Her eyes widened in horror as she gasped, trying to see who had attacked her. From the lounge, she caught sight of the others—maids tied up, their mouths taped shut, armed masked men stationed all over the place. The man gripping her neck was clearly their leader.
Terrified, she tried to pull away, her voice trembling, “W-Who are you people? How did you get in?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4H5g02t3F
The man tightened his grip cruelly, then leaned in with a chilling smile.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmj8ow1dy9
“We’re here for your little guest. Help us find her, and I’ll be grateful.”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDMKzQxIie
Tears welled in the maid’s eyes from the pressure on her throat. Finally, he loosened his hold just enough. With a trembling hand, she pointed upstairs.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexZNvTg5pM
He smiled coldly, released her, and calmly adjusted the gun back into his pocket. Then he began climbing the stairs with silent, deadly steps.
Upstairs, Lena was still enjoying her pancakes, blissfully unaware—until her door creaked open. She looked up casually… and froze.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy95tDNAnvA
A stranger had stepped in.
For a heartbeat, her breath caught. The man closed the door behind him and slowly walked toward her.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxQNJV7YfW
Fear surged through her. She scrambled backward on the bed, voice shaking, “Who are you? What are you doing in my room?”
The man smirked.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zqfgyLwb7
“I’m just here to take you with me. I don’t want to hurt you, so don’t waste my time—or yours. Let’s go.”
He took another step forward. Lena pushed herself up from the bed, shifting to the other side—but pain exploded through her injured leg, and she collapsed with a gasp.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd1qDOUC5P
“Oh no,” he said mockingly, feigning sympathy. “You’ve hurt your leg. How will you walk out of here?”28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfHiMZ1kjV
He crouched beside her, voice dipped in a sickening softness.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Hl81vtjy
“No worries. I came this far—carrying you out won’t be a problem.”
Lena’s heart pounded as he reached for her.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktHAIt1Xtr
“Stay back!” she cried. “I’m not going anywhere with you!”
But he lunged—and Lena, in one swift motion, grabbed the knife she had used for her pancakes and slashed it across his hand.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pind7Xh2U
He recoiled with a hiss of pain, staring at the fresh wound… then chuckled.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89LVU0kT8a
“Hm… Interesting. Nice move. But now—it’s my turn.”
Before she could react, he seized her wrists. She struggled fiercely, trying to break free, but he pulled out a rope and tied her hands tightly.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0E7lzTBPd
Ignoring her desperate resistance, he grabbed another rope and began binding her legs—tight, unyielding. Pain tore through her wounded limb. Lena whimpered as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Before she could scream, he slapped tape over her mouth.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VxtdPpFeQ
Now gagged and bound, she squirmed in agony.
But he remained unfazed. With eerie calmness, he hoisted her onto his shoulder like a doll and walked toward the door, her pain completely irrelevant to him.
.......................................................
At that very moment, a convoy of cars screeched to a halt outside Greyson’s house. Doors flung open in rapid succession as a wave of men in black suits stormed out—each armed, alert, and wearing discreet Bluetooth devices clipped to their ears. The air around them was thick with urgency as they swiftly advanced toward the house like a precision-trained strike unit.
Across the street, parked beneath the shadow of an old tree, a sleek black Mercedes stood quietly—almost too quietly.
Inside, on the back seat, sat Damien West.
Expression unreadable, eyes dark and cold, he watched the chaos unfold with unsettling stillness. The flicker of gunmetal in his gaze betrayed no emotion. Not surprise. Not worry. Just quiet calculation.
He tilted his head slightly, observing the incoming force with all the detachment of a man watching a chessboard rearrange itself—every piece moving exactly as he had anticipated.
The moment the shooters burst through the front door, they didn’t give the masked intruders even a second to react. A hailstorm of bullets thundered through the halls, cutting down the armed men with ruthless precision. Within moments, the floor was soaked in blood, and the air hung heavy with the sharp sting of gunpowder. The terrified staff huddled in corners, trembling, whispering silent prayers, too scared to move.
At that same moment, the man descending the stairs with Lena stopped dead in his tracks. His instincts told him the operation was compromised. Escape was no longer simple. He shot a glance at Lena, who was still tied, her eyes defiant despite the pain. Gritting his teeth, he slowly turned back up the stairs, set her down for a moment, and quickly untied her legs.
But it wasn’t mercy.
