The first faint streaks of dawn were just beginning to bleed across the horizon, leaving her dark SUV entirely unnoticed on the shoulder.
Minutes later, a sleek luxury van cruised up the main ramp toward the VIP drop-off zone.
Helena jammed the vehicle into gear, the massive engine growling to life.
Her gaze locked onto the van with predatory focus.
She rolled out of the shadows, tailing the vehicle smoothly until it pulled into the departure level.
The van rolled to a stop by the curb, and Janetta's Assistant hopped out first.
Janetta finally stepped out, exuding an air of insufferable arrogance.
She was dressed immaculately in a designer trench coat layered over perfectly tailored traveling clothes.
Her hair was pinned up in a chic style, her face partially obscured by dark sunglasses and a mask.
She looked flawless from absolutely every angle.
There was no denying she was incredibly beautiful.
A stunning exterior wrapped around a soul completely rotting with malice.
Helena watched the performance from behind the wheel, her face a mask of terrifying calm.
As Janetta began her slow stroll toward the terminal entrance, her security detail and assistant hurried ahead to clear the path.
They needed to create the perfect unobstructed frame for the paparazzi.
This carefully choreographed 'candid' routine was a staple of her public relations strategy.
The Gossip Bloggers would soon flood social media with glowing reports of her effortless airport glamour.
It was all part of a relentless campaign to maintain her untouchable goddess persona.
A calculated move to dominate the news cycle.
Her publicists had the routine down to a science.
Often, she would ensure Sebastian was prominently featured in these shots.
Spinning the narrative of the perfect, powerful billionaire power couple.
Helena knew every single one of these pathetic tricks.
After all, she had watched Sebastian orbit around Janetta for years while she suffered in the shadows.
It had torn her heart apart for longer than she cared to remember.
That slow-burning humiliation had been etched into the very core of her being.
She narrowed her eyes, the sheer hatred finally overwhelming the grief.
She gripped the gear shift, locking it into drive.
The massive steel grill of the SUV was aimed dead center at Janetta's back.
And then, Helena slammed her foot down on the accelerator, pinning it to the floor.
The heavy vehicle roared like a beast, launching forward with terrifying speed directly toward the woman.
The surrounding travelers barely had time to register the screaming engine before the chaos exploded.
No one could have possibly anticipated such raw, unhinged violence in the middle of a crowded terminal.
Janetta spun around at the noise, her arrogant posture shattering into absolute terror.
