*Chapter 23: Betrayal
Eva "rooftop now we are already surrounded anyways"
Eva held Mira hands as the headed quickly for the rooftop not for escape but Eva had an unfinished business with Mira she should have taking care since but couldn't bring her to she just felt something between her and Mira she's not the type that pitys but here she was ...
But as they reached the rooftop
Mira's world crumbled as Eva pointed a gun on her. "I'm sorry, Mira," Eva said, her voice laced with regret. "But I have my orders."
Mira looking at her eyes already wet now she kinda wished she didn't run off atleast Leo wasn't willing to kill her for now but here she was at gun pointed
«All of a sudden »
Leo emerged from the shadows, a triumphant smile spreading across his face. "Well done, Eva," he said, his voice dripping with approval. "You're every bit as skilled as I thought you'd be."
Mira's eyes widened in shock as Eva tried to shoot Leo, but he was too fast. He disarmed her and shot her in the arm, the sound echoing through the air.
As Eva clutched her wounded arm, Mira felt a pang of betrayal. "Why?" she whispered, her voice trembling with anger and hurt.
Eva's eyes locked onto hers, a mixture of sadness and determination in her gaze. "You didn't know the rules, Mira I had no choice its my job," she said wih a smirk, her voice barely above a whisper. "Venom told me to help you escape, not for escaping sake but to kill you he wants you dead you hold way to many secrets that even you yourself don't know You're a pawn in a much larger game venom will send more just like he sent jade."
Mira's mind reeled as Eva's words cut deep. "How did you know about jade ?" she asked, her voice shaking.
Eva smiled weakly. "There are lots of things you don't know, Mira. Lots of hidden secrets. You need to be careful who you trust not every will spare you as I did ."
With that, Eva turned and fled, holding her wounded arm. Mira watched her go, her heart heavy with shock and betrayal.
Leo just stood there he could have killed her if he wanted to but he had sent one of his loyal guard to follow her he needs answers so they had to be alive..
Leo's laughter echoed through the air, his eyes glinting with triumph. "You're mine now, Mira," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "And you'll do exactly as I say."
Mira's eyes locked onto Leo's, a spark of defiance igniting within her. She knew she had to escape, no matter what it took...
