NOVEL WEB Chapter 17: Threat
Ethan's instincts kicked in. "What do you mean, I'm in danger?"
Sophia's expression turned serious. "Mark was just a pawn. There are people who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets safe."
Rory's eyes locked on Ethan. "We need to protect you."
Ethan's jaw clenched. "I'll take care of myself."
Sophia's voice dropped to a whisper. "You don't understand. They're watching you, Ethan. They're waiting for their chance to strike."
Ethan's gut tightened. He knew Sophia was right.
As they left the base, Ethan felt eyes on him.
He scanned the surroundings, but saw nothing.
That night, Ethan received a mysterious text message.
"You're getting close. Back off now."
Ethan's heart skipped a beat.
Who was behind this threat?
Little did he know, the danger was closer than he thought.
