Following him, a female anchor took the lead.

[Despite swirling rumors, officials have yet to disclose any name.]

[Still, strange eyewitness reports have emerged, claiming to have seen something 'flying' over the hotel during the attack—an account that the authorities dismissed as part of the chaos of the moment.]

[Adding to the mystery, a video quickly surfaced online, showing what appeared to be a humanoid robot shooting through the hotel amid the attack. Within hours, the video has garnered millions of views, sparking an online frenzy. However, the clip was soon taken down, with a follow-up video asserting that it simply was an AI-generated hoax, designed to incite fear.]

[The government authorities have urged the people not to fall for such fake news used to create the hype.]

[With copyright strikes marking it as misleading, the video disappeared, leaving the public divided over whether it was a genuine leak or an elaborate hoax.]

[Authorities continue to investigate, though many questions remain unanswered. The full story behind the Grand Blue Hotel attack remains in shadow, leaving numerous questions unanswered, but we'll bring more updates as they become available.]

The tragic news report buzzed through the country as every news anchor solemnly recounted the chaos from last night's attack at the Grand Blue Hotel.

High-profile guests had been left unconscious, victims of a potent, unidentified toxin, while authorities kept tight-lipped about suspects or motives. Despite swirling rumors, there was no official mention of figures like Paul or any mysterious technology.

The broadcast faded, leaving the viewer with an unsettling sense of mystery surrounding the night's events.

With a mischievous glint in his eye, Evan whispered, "You've practiced martial arts, and you're so strong, But... your body is so soft, so feminine."

"You!" Suri's cheeks flamed as she looked away, flustered. Evan had never been like this before. Lately, he seemed to hold her close whenever he could, as if afraid that she might slip away.

And, truthfully, Suri found herself loving it.

This feeling of being held, and cherished felt like something out of a storybook. She'd always dreamed of finding someone who would look at her like Evan did as if she were made of stars. In his arms, she felt a warmth, a peace that she'd never known.

The way Evan held her, the way his words wrapped around her with a warmth she'd longed for but never expected, left her feeling... exposed, and vulnerable. And yet, for the first time, she didn't mind feeling like this. She wanted this feeling, this closeness. The fear and danger they faced only made these moments more precious, each one a rare gift she never thought she could have.

Suri closed her eyes, breathing in the cool night air, letting herself remember how safe she was in his arms as a quiet smile tugged at her lips. She had always been strong, confident, and unshakable on her own, but in Evan's presence, she found something deeper—a longing to share that strength, to be more than just herself. It was frightening, yet thrilling.

Evan tightened his hold around her and murmured thoughtfully, "Suri, before we move forward, I should know about your parents. Do you think your father will agree?"

Suri scoffed, her voice laced with contempt. "Do you really think his opinion matters?"

"And your mother?"

"She's been wanting to meet you," Suri admitted softly. "But it's not easy. Dealing with my father is one thing; winning her over might be a challenge."

Evan's only response was a warm smile that was filled with admiration. "Then I'll do everything I can to win her favor. After all, she gave birth to such a beautiful daughter. I should properly express my appreciation."

Suri's heart skipped, stunned by Evan's unexpected charm. But before she could find a witty retort, Evan leaned in, silencing her with a kiss that left her gasping for breath.

"Wu...Wu...Wu...Wu..."
