Liam's eyes were fixed on Sophia, his mind racing with fear. He knew that he had to act fast or risk losing Allison's father forever.
Sophia's smile grew wider, her eyes glinting with triumph. "You have two options, Liam," she said, her voice dripping with malice. "Either you kill Allison, or I'll kill her father."
Sophia said, passing over Allison's dad to one of her men,
Liam's heart sank, knowing that he was trapped. He couldn't kill Allison, but he also couldn't let Sophia kill her father.
Allison's eyes were fixed on Liam, her face pale with fear. She knew that Liam was torn, that he didn't know what to do.
Jake and Emily were watching in horror, their eyes wide with fear. They knew that Liam was in an impossible situation.
Suddenly, Liam's eyes locked onto Sophia's. He saw the determination in her eyes, the willingness to do whatever it took to get what she wanted.
With a surge of courage, Liam made his decision. "I won't do it," he said, his voice firm. "I won't kill Allison."
Sophia's smile faltered for a moment before she regained her composure. "Very well," she said. "If you won't kill Allison, then her father will die instead."
The man holding Allison's father tightened his grip on the knife, his eyes cold and unyielding.
Liam's heart racing, he knew he had to act fast. He lunged forward, determined to save Allison's father.
But as he did, Sophia's men closed in, blocking his path. Liam was surrounded, with no way out.
The situation was dire, with Allison's father's life hanging in the balance. Liam knew he had to think fast or risk losing everyone he cared about.
And then, just as suddenly, Liam remembered something. He remembered a weakness in Sophia's plan, a flaw that he could exploit.
With newfound determination, Liam began to stall for time. He knew that he had to keep Sophia talking, to give himself time to come up with a plan.
"So, Sophia," Liam said, his voice calm. "What's the point of all this? What do you hope to achieve?"
Sophia's smile grew wider, her eyes glinting with triumph. "You'll see," she said. "You'll see soon enough."
Liam's eyes locked onto Sophia's, his mind racing with possibilities. He knew that he had to keep her talking, to give himself time to come up with a plan.
And so, Liam continued to stall for time, asking Sophia questions and keeping her talking. He knew that it was a risk, but he also knew that it was his only chance.
As the standoff continued, the tension grew. Liam's friends were watching in horror, their eyes wide with fear.
Allison's father was still being held hostage, and the knife still pressed to his throat.
But Liam remained calm, his mind racing with possibilities. He knew that he had to think fast or risk losing everyone he cared about.
And then, just as suddenly, Liam saw his chance. He saw a way to save Allison's father to defeat Sophia and her men.
With newfound determination, Liam made his move. He knew that it was a risk, but he also knew that it was his only way to save all of them.
Liam's eyes locked onto Sophia's, his mind racing with anger. He knew that he had to act fast or risk losing Allison's father forever.
Without hesitation, Liam grabbed Sophia, his hands locking onto her neck. He twisted her around, holding her in a tight grip.
"If you don't release Allison's father," Liam hissed, his voice low and menacing, "I'll kill you."
Sophia's eyes widened in shock, but she had no choice but to listen to Liam. She nodded, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Okay, okay," she said. "I'll release him."
Liam's grip on Sophia's neck tightened. "Do it now," he growled.
Sophia nodded, her eyes darting to the man holding Allison's father. She gave a slight nod, and the man released Allison's father.
Allison's father stumbled forward, gasping for air. Allison rushed to his side, embracing him tightly.
Liam's grip on Sophia's neck remained tight. "You're not going anywhere," he hissed.
Sophia struggled against Liam's grip, but he held firm. He knew that he had to keep her contained or risk her escaping and causing more harm.
Jake and Emily watched in awe as Liam held Sophia captive. They knew that Liam was capable of great things, but they had never seen him like this before.
Allison's father turned to Liam, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Liam," he said. "Thank you for saving me."
Liam's grip on Sophia's neck remained tight. "It's not over yet," he said. "We still have to find out what Sophia's plan is."
Sophia struggled against Liam's grip, but he held firm. He knew that he had to keep her contained or risk her escaping and causing more harm.
As they stood there, Liam's mind racing with questions, Sophia suddenly spoke up.
"You'll never stop me," she spat. "My plan is already in motion. You'll never be able to stop it."
Liam's grip on Sophia's neck tightened. "What is it?" he demanded. "What's your plan?"
Sophia smiled, her eyes glinting with malice. "You'll see," she said. "You'll see soon enough."
And with that, Sophia's smile grew wider, her eyes glinting with triumph. Liam knew that he had to keep her contained or risk her escaping and causing more harm.
But as they stood there, Liam's mind racing with questions, he knew that he had to think fast. He had to come up with a plan to stop Sophia before it was too late.
The battle may have been won, but the war was far from over. Liam and his friends had to be vigilant, ready for whatever Sophia threw their way.
And as they stood there, Liam's grip on Sophia's neck remaining tight, he knew that he would do whatever it took to protect his friends, to stop Sophia's evil plan.
