Chapter 4 - chapter 4 Every step

To relieve her exhaustion, Alia went to her favorite coffee shop. As she sipped her coffee, she felt a moment of peace. After finishing her drink, she left the shop and got into her Lamborghini. As she drove, her eyes caught a familiar face-the same guy she had seen a while ago. However, Alia ignored him and continued driving.

While on the road, she sensed that something was off. Suddenly, a group of mafia members started chasing her in their cars. Instead of panicking, Alia accelerated, expertly maneuvering through the streets. She thought fast, planning her next move to gain control of the situation.

After some time, Alia finally brought her car to a stop. She knew this moment would be a big challenge for her. As she stepped out of the car, she stood still for a moment, as if time itself had paused in the face of her bravery. Before her was a turning point in her life, and she was aware that this was a test she had to pass.

Her mind was calm and steady. Though danger surrounded her, her unwavering confidence pushed her forward. A strong determination burned within her, inspiring her to overcome any obstacle.

She wasn't just an ordinary girl. No matter what dangers lay ahead, she was ready to carve her own path. She knew that after this moment, the most significant chapter of her life would begin.

The Mafia's Invitation

A mafia member handed Alia a letter, and she stood before them, her eyes burning with an unseen fire. She knew she didn't need to say anything-her strength spoke for itself. She unfolded the letter and read it carefully.

One of the mafia men looked at her and said, "You have to come with us. Right now. Otherwise, we'll make you understand another way."

There was no hesitation on Alia's face. She calmly folded the letter and put it in her pocket before meeting their gaze. "I'm not going anywhere," she said.

The mafia men smirked, but Alia knew they couldn't intimidate her. This was her test, and she was ready to pass it. Her eyes shone with an intense confidence-the kind that would guide her through the darkness.

After a brief silence, Alia slowly pulled out a gun and aimed it at them. The mafia members tensed, caught off guard. Before they could react, Alia took a step forward. "Tonight, I shape my own fate," she declared, her voice cold and unwavering.

The first man lunged at her aggressively, but she met his gaze and fired a perfect shot. He collapsed instantly. As another mafia member tried to attack her, she swiftly took him down with a single move.

She knew that each step she took was shaping a new chapter of her life.

The remaining mafia men hesitated, watching her warily. But before they could make a move, Alia made her decision-there was no room for doubt anymore. Every fiber of her being was engaged in this battle. One by one, her enemies fell, and Alia stood victorious.

"Don't ever try to scare me again," she warned.

When everything settled, Alia stood in silence. There was no excitement in her eyes, only a calm but firm certainty. She knew that the power to survive this moment had come from within her.

That night, she didn't just use physical strength against them-her courage, determination, and sheer willpower had made her unstoppable. And with the beginning of this new chapter, she knew that an even greater struggle awaited her.

Victor's Arrival and the Aftermath

As the last bullet was fired, Alia stepped back. But before she could take another shot, a familiar presence arrived-Victor. He swiftly took down the remaining mafia members, ensuring their safety.

They escaped and made it home safely. Alia, feeling relieved, turned to him and said, "You saved me. I don't even know how to thank you."

Victor remained calm and replied, "It's my job."

Without another word, he left. Alia sat quietly, lost in thought.

The next morning, exhaustion weighed heavily on her body. Last night's chaos-the mafia attack, Victor's help-had drained her. She drove slowly to her best friend Orin's house.

Orin saw her and asked, "What happened, Alia?"

Alia hesitated before saying, "Lately, life has become so complicated. After everything, I need to ask you something-if I ever need help, will you be there for me?"

Orin smirked and replied, "What do you need? Just pay me, and everything will be taken care of."

Alia frowned. "Why money?"

Orin laughed. "It's for your safety! You need a bodyguard."

Alia understood her friend's blunt logic. "Oh, I see! You're saying a boyfriend is fine, but security is expensive?"

Orin nodded. "Exactly. You don't like spending much, but you need to be sure about your safety, right?"

Instead of wasting more time on the topic, Alia changed the subject. "Alright, let's do a car race. Let's see who's the best!"

Orin smirked, and they all headed out for the race. The competition was fierce, but Alia expertly outmaneuvered everyone and took the lead. She knew moments like these made her stronger.

As the race ended, Alia turned to her friend. "Now you've seen it! I'm not just the best at racing-I'll be the best in life, too."

Her friends laughed. "You always spend so much money! But hey, if you're hiring bodyguards and boyfriends, make sure you pay us too!"

Alia chuckled. "Money or no money, I know how to handle things."

Her friends were amazed by her confidence. "Not only did you win the race, but you'll win every race in life, too," they said.

Alia knew that no matter what challenges came her way, she would never stop moving forward.
