Prologue on Retrograde

The campus was eerily quiet as Angela walked through the deserted corridors, her footsteps echoing off the walls. The news of Nicole’s disappearance had spread like wildfire, and the once-thriving campus had become a ghost town overnight.

Angela had enrolled in the university to pursue her dreams of becoming a successful businesswoman, but she soon found herself immersed in a mystery that would change her life forever. It all started when she received a cryptic message from an unknown sender, telling her to look into her past.

As Angela delved deeper into her family history, she uncovered a shocking truth: her father was not her biological father, and her mother had passed away years ago. Determined to find out more, Angela set her sights on the campus where Nicole had disappeared.

But things took a dark turn when Angela’s brother Jack was falsely accused of being involved in Nicole’s disappearance. With her family’s reputation on the line, Angela knew she had to act fast to clear Jack’s name.

As she dug deeper into the mystery, Angela found herself face to face with the kidnapper, who was now targeting her. With her life in danger, Angela had no choice but to fight back with everything she had.

As the campus descended into chaos, Angela realized that the kidnapper was closer to her than she ever could have imagined. With time running out, Angela must use all of her intelligence and resourcefulness to uncover the truth and bring the kidnapper to justice.

Angela’s investigation led her to a group of students who were known for their wild parties and questionable behavior. They seemed to be hiding something, and Angela was determined to find out what it was.

She attended one of their parties, hoping to gather more information, but ended up getting drugged and passing out. When she woke up, she found herself in an abandoned room with a hooded figure standing over her.

Angela’s heart raced as the figure approached her, but she refused to show any fear. Instead, she used her wits to distract the kidnapper and escape from the room.

Once she was free, Angela reported what had happened to the police. But they didn’t take her seriously, dismissing her claims as a drunken hallucination. Undeterred, Angela continued to investigate on her own.

She discovered that the group of students she had been investigating were involved in a secret society that was dedicated to keeping their darkest secrets hidden. They had kidnapped Nicole to prevent her from exposing their secrets, and now they were targeting Angela to keep her quiet.

With the help of a few trusted allies, Angela was able to uncover the truth and bring the kidnapper to justice. The secret society was disbanded, and the campus slowly returned to normal.

But Angela was forever changed by her experience. She realized that she was stronger and more resourceful than she had ever imagined, and she vowed to use her skills to fight for justice and uncover the truth, no matter what the cost.
