“Tvanna...
Ivanna..." As I got to the top of the iron tank, I heard Jared's uneasy voice from the bottom.
I felt dizzy, and my steps faltered.
When I slipped, Atlas caught me and lifted me back up.
I couldn't afford to overthink.
Anxiously, I followed the stairs spiraling down from the top of the iron tank.
My trembling voice echoed, "Ivanna! What happened to her?" T could barely make out the
situation below.
A few faint lights swayed at the bottom of the iron tank, and there appeared to be water.
The pungent smell of rust and stagnant water intensified as I descended, chilling me to
the bone.
At the base, Jared's men used their phone's flashlights to illuminate the massive tank.

The lights resembled fireflies.
It was like a veil had covered my vision.
In the darkness, I could only see moving figures.
Theard Jared shout, "Knife!" My heart leaped to my throat.
Why did he need a knife? I cursed myself for wearing semi-high heels.
Even though I was anxious, I couldn’t rush down.
My steps were excruciatingly slow, and my legs trembled.
It took immense effort, but I finally reached the bottom.
Jared had jumped into the stagnant water as my eyes adjusted to the darkness below.
He pulled Ivanna out, her body pale from soaking in the water.
Someone used a knife to cut the ropes binding her hands and feet. Ivanna's eyes were
tightly shut, and her body was limp, barely holding on. "_. Ivanna!" Jared kept calling her
name, his voice filled with agony. "Ivanna, wake up. I'm here!" As he held the nearly
lifeless Ivanna in his arms, he appeared lost.
Figures moved strangely in the dim light, unsettling us when combined with Jared's
desperate calls.
"Jared, quick, get her to the hospital!" Atlas, who had just arrived, shouted urgently.
His voice echoed within the tank.
Jared seemed to snap out of it.
He waded through the filthy water, cradling Ivanna.
Jared's love and concern for her were unquestionable at that point.
He had lost all of his composure.
We made way for him.
Even those still descending the stairs quickly turned around and headed back up, fearing
the slightest delay.
From above came Lauren's cries, "Ivanna! How is she?" All of us swiftly climbed back up
the ladder.
Once we reached the top of the iron tank and descended the spiral stairs again, there was
a bright white light.
1 Tension was in the air as two groups of people squared off on the rooftop.

Her face seemed almost skeletal.
"Jared!" Her voice rang out in the night air. When I finally reached the top after Jared, I was
struck by what I saw.
My heart leaped to my throat.
Jared's body stiffened, but he didn't stop moving.
He stood tall and resolute, cradling Ivanna as he strode toward the exit.
1 “Jared, stop right there!" Trinity's voice was sharp and threatening.
It was Dylan's subordinates who were fighting her now, not Jared's.
"Stay put!" Dylan's voice was commanding.
However, Trinity seemed to ignore them.
Her gaze was fixed on Jared, who was approaching her with Ivanna in his arms.
"Jared, don’t forget who you are, your responsibilities, and everything you have now!" She
said it with a strange expression.
Jared stood firm in front of her, meeting her gaze squarely.
"Are you threatening me?"
