Villain Ch 1953. The End of Vacation [Part 2]
She didn't stop.
Didn't care.
Her breath hitched as she made it past the last row of cars, finally reaching the edge of the private lot. She skidded to a halt near a low barricade, palms outstretched on cold steel.
And there they were.
Just ahead.
The two black SUVs gliding toward the private exit lane. No traffic. No red lights. No cameras. Just clean tarmac and a sun-drenched road that opened like a ribbon into the horizon.
They didn't stop.
Didn't slow.
The rear lights faded.
She watched them go, chest rising and falling, breath jagged.
She stood there.
Sweating under her coat.
Heart pounding like glass breaking in her chest.
He was gone.
Just like that.
Like they lived in different worlds now.
Because they did.
The exhaust faded.
Her feet didn't move. Her knees buckled.
And she dropped.
Right there.
In the middle of the road.
She didn't care anymore.
