“Olivia! Where are you going? Can’t you hear the gunshots outside?” Marcus’s voice was frantic, laced with desperation as it cut through the tense silence that had gripped the house. I didn’t have time to stop. I didn’t have time to explain. I was already halfway to the door, driven by a single thought, Samuel. My son. My heart was pounding so hard in my chest I could feel it reverberating in my throat.

1 glanced at Marcus over my shoulder, barely registering his words. “Samuel is out there,” I muttered, though I wasn’t sure if I was speaking to him or to myself. The words felt empty, hollow, like an echo of the dread that had taken root in my bones.

His eyes widened in shock as realization hit him. He took step forward as if to stop me, but I didn’t have time to wait. My legs were already carrying me toward the front door. I reached for the handle, my hand trembling, and pushed the door open.

What greeted me outside made my blood run cold. It was worse than anything I had ever seen. Worse than the worst scene from any movie. It was the aftermath of something I couldn’t comprehend. It was like stepping into a war documentary, one that captured the raw brutality of conflict, but with the horrifying difference that the war was not over, it was still happening.

Istaggered back, my breath catching in my throat as I looked out at the chaos unfolding before me. The front yard was littered with bodies, men, bloodied and broken, scattered across the ground in every direction. The stench of death filled the air, thick and suffocating. The world outside my front door had become a battleground. But the worst part? The war wasn’t over. It was still ongoing.

I scanned the area, my eyes darting frantically over the scene, desperately searching for any sign of Samuel. My breath came in ragged gasps, and my heart raced with the unbearable weight of my fear. But all that greeted me were the dead.

Bodies in various stages of lifelessness, sprawled across the ground in grotesque, unnatural positions. I recognized some of them. The men in all black, Xander’s men. Their cold, unfeeling eyes now staring into nothing. And then there were Marcus’s and Luke’s men, their uniforms slightly different, but no less grim in their finality.

I wanted to scream, wanted to cry out for Samuel, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t let fear consume me. I had to find him. I had to make sure he was okay.

My mind raced. I couldn’t understand how many men Xander had sent. How had he managed to orchestrate such a brutal attack? Had he known that his plan on the island would fail and devised a contingency plan, a backup strategy to guarantee his victory here? How far had he gone to ensure his success?
