Love At First Sight

The shadows

The library was starting to get heavy as he approached the tall figure slowly and deliberately. Emma's heart pounded in her chest. Each time it beats hard or enough to drown out the eerie silence. Liam instinctively steps in front of her. His protective nature starting to come true, Damian watched as he just licked Puerto. His muscles tensed. As Rosa's lips curled into an unreadable smile.

“Yes?” Emma asked in a steady voice despite the storm of emotions raging within her.

Homme eventually found himself in the shadows. His striking features and sharp eyes were terrifying. But there was something more - something on his face that aroused a vague feeling of awareness in Emma. His hair is dark. Sometimes it's a little gray. And he behaved quietly. With such confidence that it sends shivers down your spine.

“I am a person who knows my country more than anyone else,” he said in a low, calm voice. “His name is Victor. I worked with them long before I got involved in the project that was killing them.”

Liam narrowed his eyes, still standing in front of Emma. “How do we know you're telling the truth? We have many strangers claiming to know more than we should.

Victor: But he doesn't have much of a sense of humor. “You don't need to trust me right away. But you want to hear what I have to say. I'm not here to bias Emma. I'm here to truly present. Which is something your no-nonsense person seems capable of.

Emma Saiu from behind Liam, her curiosity overcoming her meanness. “What truth?” he asked.

Victor turned his gaze to Emma. His eyes softened slightly. “Your country is hardly a researcher, Emma. They are revolutionaries. The work they do isn't just about genetics or formulas. It is trying to breed something the world has never seen before. Progress in human evolution.”

Emma's throat became dry. "evolution?"

Victor agrees. “His country is working on projects that help people unlock skills. Beyond what we already know This formula is not just for curing diseases. But it is also designed to awaken something in someone. Something special.”

Just as the word pair was not like a heavy snowflake, Emma's mind turned to the fugitive memories of nighttime conversations in her hometown. The sheath that surrounds her work She is always aware that there is more to her research. But her research was far from anything she had ever imagined.

Rosa's voice softened the tension. “Victor is right, Emma, his country is drinking something innovative. something dangerous That is why they hide. They know that what I am doing can be put to good use or benefit. or cause unimaginable harm.”

Damian, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up, “What about you, Vitor? What role do you play in all of this?”

Victor's eyes turned to Damian. “I am one of two of their co-workers. But different from others I am not behind fame or fortune. I credit their perspective. I still want But when they disappeared, everything fell apart. I'm looking for you, Emma, because I believe you're the only person who can finish what they started.

Emma's heart was filled with questions. Or what is the meaning for her? Will she really be able to trust Victor? Or is it just more manipulation? Or is it another way to deepen it? without any mystery about her country's work.

Liam's hand lightly touched his arm, signing-a. “Emma, you don't have to make any decisions right now,” he said softly, “but you do have to know what happened or what happened. I am here with you. Let's discover together.”

Emma's heart melted at Liam's words. But the responsibility lies with her. She trusted Nessus. Pesos can? Rosa, Damian, and now Victor. Each claims to know the truth about their country. More than what it really is?

Suddenly, Atingiu had a flashback, a memory she hadn't recalled years ago. She was sitting on her father's table. Sobbing into her lap. Her father sat angrily writing rabiscando in a notebook. His mother stood beside him, frantic.

“We're running out of time to die, John,” his mother whispered hurriedly. “If we don't finish the logo, They will follow us.”

Her father looked at her with a look of hatred that was a mixture of love and fear. “We have to protect Emma. It doesn't matter what happened.

In his memory he disappeared. Leaving Emma without a trace. She is trying to balance herself. Seus pais tinham medo — medo of what? And who is behind them?

Victor is an attentive observer. While he was thinking or thinking about something “Your country isn't hiding two things happening at the same time, Emma. This game has much greater power. It won't stop until you do your research.”

Emma's pulse quickened. "?"

Victor hesitated for a moment. His vision darkened. “The group known as The Vanguard, have been behind the work of their country for many years. They want to use it to control. To create a group of elite people who can control the world as they wish. And now their country has been established. They are turning their backs on you.”

Emma felt the world spin, it was too much – too much to process. Too much to read But now she couldn't find it. If Vanguard was truly strong, If they evaluate in the background You must prepare yourself. She knows the truth precisely.

“Why should I trust you?” she asked, her voice louder than she felt. “How do I know you aren't working with them?”

Victor met or looked at her. Her expression was unreadable, “You can't, but I'm willing to help him discover the truth for himself. And when you think about it You will know that everything or what he has told so far is only part of the story.”
