"Wow, you really are something. Because of you... I've changed."
His words hung in the air with no reply, so with a hint of annoyance, he glanced down at her. Selena appeared to be completely wiped out, already fast asleep, her eyes gently shut.
Everett chuckled softly, giving her nose a playful pinch. "You little rascal, able to sleep through anything."
He was left alone to ponder the bittersweet taste of parting.
In the end, he couldn't bring himself to wake her. He switched off the light and joined her in the land of dreams.
The next day, Selena was right on time for her flight.
Everett had reserved the entire business class just for her, with Ava and the bodyguards seated throughout the cabin. Luckily, Bill wasn’t tagging along this time.
It seemed Everett's trust in her had grown enough for him to ease up a bit.
The other bodyguards knew better than to mess with her, and since Ava was on her team, navigating the situation was a breeze.
At exactly ten o'clock, the plane took off.
Selena gazed through the tiny airplane window as the ground slowly disappeared and the plane soared into the clouds. A smile crept across her lips.
Outside the airport, in a sleek black sedan, Everett rolled down the window, his dark eyes fixed on the plane as it ascended through the clouds.
Only when it vanished behind the clouds did he turn away, telling the driver, "Back to the office."
Four hours later, the plane touched down in a Spanish city, serving as a layover with a two-hour stop.
After such a long flight, everyone was visibly tired. Once off the plane, Selena suggested grabbing coffee for everyone.
Ava, who had never left the country before, was on her first international trip and couldn’t stop chatting with Selena, her excitement palpable.
Selena, however, was preoccupied, half-listening as she scanned the area, taking note of every detail.
She had only two hours and needed to make every second count.
After about half an hour in the café, she suddenly clutched her stomach, wincing in pain.
At the restroom entrance, the bodyguard stood watch outside while Ava accompanied Selena inside.
Selena entered the last stall reserved for pregnant women, locking the door behind her. Just as she expected, there was a backpack hanging there.
It was filled with disguises, clothes, and a new ID.
She quickly changed, disguising herself before stepping out.
"Ma'am, you..."
Ava didn't get to finish her sentence before Selena swiftly struck the side of her neck, causing her to slump down.
Selena caught her and gently placed her on a chair.
This was the only way to fully cut ties and avoid being chased.
All that was left was to sneak past the bodyguard outside, and she could disappear into the unknown!
