Vanessa stood in the elevator, her emotions in turmoil.
The doors closed, isolating her from Shi Tian's apartment. The emotions she had suppressed for a long time now surged forth.
Betrayal, anger, hurt – they all mixed together in a bitter cocktail. She felt a sense of vulnerability that she hadn't allowed herself to feel in a very long time.
The elevator descended to the ground floor, and Vanessa stepped out into the lobby of the apartment complex.
She had a lot to process, but right now, she needed a change of scenery. She decided to take a walk, to clear her mind and try to make sense of everything that had transpired.
And naturally, she could sense Cyrus and the rest of the soldiers nearby, following her.
It seemed that they might have noticed her unusualness and decided to stay back a little.
Cyrus signaled for his soldiers to simply conceal their presence while ensuring her safety.
