Love In The City Of Light

Chapter 10: Freedom

Aurélie didn't hesitate. She grabbed Léon's hand, and together they followed Colette and Sophie out the back door.

They sprinted across the lawn, their feet pounding against the wet grass. Aurélie could hear the intruders shouting behind them, but she didn't look back.

Colette led them to a small car parked on the street. They piled in, Colette starting the engine and peeling away from the curb.

As they sped through the city streets, Aurélie felt a sense of exhilaration wash over her. They were finally free.

But as they approached the city limits, Aurélie saw a roadblock ahead. Victor's men were waiting for them.

Colette's eyes met Aurélie's in the rearview mirror. "Hold on," Colette said, a fierce glint in her eye.

Colette floored it, the car surging forward. They burst through the roadblock, Victor's men scattering as they passed.

As they emerged on the other side, Aurélie felt a sense of joy and relief wash over her. They had made it.

Léon turned to her, his eyes shining with happiness. "We did it," Léon said, pulling her into a tight hug.

Aurélie smiled, feeling a sense of closure and new beginnings. They had faced their fears and overcome them.

As they drove off into the sunset, Aurélie knew that she would never forget this journey. She had found her strength, her courage, and her heart.

Congratulations, you've reached the end of the story!
