"We're finally here." As the plane slid down the runway, Andrew let out a small laugh.
Natasha looked tense, her face unusually pale.
Andrew glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong, Natasha?"
She lowered her head slightly and glanced around nervously. "Darling, ever since we got on the plane, I've had this feeling… like someone's been watching us. And it's not just one person. There are several heavy presences around us, and it's terrifying."
Andrew smiled faintly. "Yeah, I felt it too. But don't worry. As long as I'm here, I'll protect you."
Natasha shook her head. Despite her fear, her voice was firm. "I'll always stay by your side. If anyone wants to hurt you, they'll have to go through me first."
Andrew let out a quiet sigh. Natasha really was a tender and resolute woman. She might not know what he was about to face, but her loyalty to him had never changed. For his sake, she was not afraid of anything; she was willing to do anything.
And that kind of woman was exactly what Andrew needed.
"Come on. Time for you to meet the Lloyd family royals. You'll see soon enough, they're not as impressive as they think they are," he said casually, standing up to leave the plane with her.
Their flight had landed on an eerily empty runway. Besides the two of them, not a single passenger had been on board. Whether it was a coincidence or not did not matter to Andrew.
He knew someone was waiting for him.
If others wanted his life, then he was just as ready to take theirs. Everyone understood the game being played, so the truth would be decided with fists and steel.
The cabin door opened, and Andrew and Natasha descended the narrow staircase together. Behind them, no one else. Ahead, only a long runway
Andrew did not mind and walked forward alongside Natasha. Throughout the entire airport, they could not see a single crew member.
It was the kind of scene where you could almost believe in haunted places.
