The Bakery Encounter

The Bakery Encounter
A seemingly ordinary day at the bakery takes a terrifying turn when Jules witnesses a violent act and is kidnapped. Abducted by mysterious men with dark secrets, she finds herself trapped on a plane, hurtling towards an unknown fate. Can she escape and uncover the truth before it's too late?

The scent of fresh bread and pastries filled the air of the bakery, a comforting constant in the uneasy atmosphere of London. As I handed a customer their change, my mind drifted to the shooting incidents that had everyone on edge.

"Jules, could you help the next customer?" Margaret's warm voice called, pulling me back to the present.

I smiled, moving to the till. "How can I help you today?"

A deep voice replied, "Three scones and three cappuccinos."

I looked up, meeting a pair of intense, dark eyes. A shiver traced down my spine.
