Third person POV

At the same time, in his penthouse, Gavin received the same update.

Sir, it’s confirmed. He got away.” Neil’s voice was crisp over the speakerphone. “But our people are still watching the main residence. The old lady hasn’t made a

nove.”

javin had tossed his phone on the desk, speaker on. His expression was grim. “Keep watching. Don’t blink,^

Yes, sir.” Neil was about to hang up when Gavin added another order,

And keep an eye on Zane, too. See what he’s been up to lately.” Gavin had a strong feeling that Elara’s sudden, icy distance was tied to whatever Zane had been igging up.

fter Neil acknowledged, Gavin ended the call and immediately dialed another number.

Your grandmother.”

Piss off.” Aiden laughed. “My grandparents were childhood sweethearts. They didn’t play the kinds of games the Windsor matriarch does.”

oking aside, Aiden got serious. “Anyway, that crash was no accident.”

I know.” Gavin had come to the same conclusion. He glanced out the window at the city lights, his eyes narrowing. “To go to such lengths, creating that much haos just to disappear and reinvent himself… he’s planning something big.”

iden voiced his own doubt. “Are you sure, though? That the shootout seven years ago–the one that nearly killed you–was the work of Saxon’s people?”

Gavin’s eyes lowered slightly, a terrifying, ruthless glint flashing in their narrowed corners.

Back then, even though the old woman held the reins of the Windsor family, mobilizing that level of underworld force wouldn’t have been easy for her alone. ventually, all his suspicions had settled on Saxon.

fter Saxon was imprisoned, his network of influence likely fell into the hands of the Windsor matriarch. That was the source of her arrogance, her sense of nvincibility.

ut then, for some unknown reason, after that shootout, that network vanished. Went to ground. Perfectly hidden. For years, it hadn’t caused a single ripple

within the country.

Whoever this is, they’re trouble. You need to pay extra attention to Elara’s safety.” Aiden couldn’t help but warn. “If you have to, keep some distance. Right ow, the enemy is in the shadows, we’re in the light. We need to watch and see what he’s planning with all this drama.”

If he reconnects with your grandmother…. it’s probably to help her seize power. And if that happens, given your relationship with Elara, she’ll be the first

arget.”

Don’t worry.” A faint, self–mocking ripple passed through Gavin’s eyes. “This time, she ran faster than a rabbit. All on her own.”

He didn’t need to worry about her at all.

she really had grown up.

Where?” Eleanor scoffed, the picture of exasperated affection. “He must have done something to upset her. I called him a few days ago and found out she’s not peaking to him at all now!” She’d actually called to ask if he still wanted to meet me.
