SWNOVELS Chapter Threat And A Familiar Face
Just as the man took off his mask, Elena and Amy flinched in their chairs, gripping their chests and trying to calm their fast-beating hearts. They were both startled and trying to regain their composure. Amy took a closer look at the man, and she was shocked to see that she didn't recognize him at all. Elena had the same reaction and was equally confused.
"Who are you, and why are you sitting at our table?" Elena asked as she adjusted her seat and tried to sit up straight.
Amy kept staring at the man, her eyes wide with confusion. He looked familiar, but she couldn't place him. Her heart was racing, and she felt uneasy.
"I thought you were a strong woman who could face anyone," the man said in a mocking tone, his gaze fixed on Amy and ignoring Elena.
Amy was known for her courage and confidence, but this man made her feel a chill. He looked like something out of a horror movie.
Even though he was handsome, with a deep, calm voice, there was something about him that was unsettling and almost demonic.
"Stop talking nonsense. You were asked a question. Why are you here?" Amy said, her voice sharp and commanding. She was trying to maintain control and show that she wasn't scared.
Elena shot Amy a worried glance, her eyes pleading for calm. She was visibly frightened and was taken aback by how quickly Amy's mood had shifted from calm to hostile.
"Don't raise your voice at someone you don't know woman!" the man said, making both women even more confused and anxious.
"Let's just leave," Elena said, reaching for her bag and preparing to go.
She was uncomfortable with the man's presence and found him very unsettling. His appearance and demeanor were making her nervous.
"Go ahead and leave if you want to risk your life. I'm sure you wouldn't want that," the man said, causing Elena to look around nervously and roll her eyes.
"Life? Risk?" Elena asked with a trembling voice as she slowly sat back down. She looked at Amy and could see that Amy was trying hard not to show her fear, though she was clearly anxious inside. Amy didn't want to appear scared. She knew that people often take advantage if they sense you're afraid. She had learned that the hard way.
"What are you talking about? Why are you making threats?" Amy asked, her tone sneering. She was trying to sound confident despite her fear.
"Just try not to do anything that will endanger your life, because it's already at risk. That's all I'm saying. It's not a threat but a promise," the man said, standing up and preparing to leave.
Elena tried to ask him something, but her fear made her words falter. The man was already walking away, leaving them both stunned and confused.
Amy took a deep breath to calm her racing heart and quickly drank the juice that was on the table, trying to steady herself.
She drank it for the second time and until she was sure she had calm down a bit
"We need to get out of here right now," Elena said urgently, grabbing her bag and hitting the table to get Amy's attention.
"I'll handle the bill," Elena said and left Amy alone at the table. Elena hurried off to pay, eager to leave the unsettling situation behind.
"I'll stay here and wait," Amy said, looking around for any sign of the man in the mask, her anxiety growing.
As soon as Elena left, Amy's phone rang. She rushed outside to answer it because it was getting late, almost 9:00 PM, and she was worried about her children or if her maid had important news. "Arrrggghhhh Arggghhhhh!" Amy screamed as she collided with a tall man with broad shoulders. Her phone flew from her hand and landed on the floor with a clatter.
She was about to fall, but she found herself caught in the man's strong arms, his cologne filling her nose. The night air was cool, and his scent was both comforting and alarming. "His cologne smells familiar," she thought to herself, trying to make sense of the situation.
She quickly tried to step away from him and thank him for catching her, only to see that it was Ryan, her ex-fiance.
For a moment, she felt a wave of frustration and anger for having wasted time on his freaking arm. But deep down, she couldn't deny that she still had a small spot in her heart for Ryan. "Are you blind?" she barked at him, finding her voice after the shock.
"You're the blind one here. Shouldn't you be thanking me?" Ryan said, brushing dust off his shirt as though it was nothing.

"I gave you my card and invited you to visit me. Why didn't you come?" Ryan asked, sounding bossy and self-assured.
"I don't accept invitations from people who lack common sense or who cheat, like you," Amy said sharply, remembering all the pain he had caused her in the past. "You're mine, and I'll be back soon. I see you still think about being with me. Don't miss this chance," he said with a mocking edge to his voice.
"Pervert! Excuse me," Amy said, glaring at him as she bent down to pick up her phone, ignoring the buzzing call.
"I can help with your son's health, you know," Ryan said, making Amy stop in her tracks.
Amy laughed inwardly, thinking how foolish Ryan was. His offer seemed as devilish as the man in the mask.
"Do you think you can use that to control me? My son is fine," Amy said, glaring at him and trying to ignore her ringing phone.
"Take your call. Time will tell," Ryan said and walked away, his tall figure disappearing into the night as his shadow followed him. Dive into the next chapter and see what happens next.....
