Damien nodded, meeting his mother’s eyes before turning to his father. “I agree. It’s best for Dad to hold the manor and manage the company’s front while we’re dark.”

Dominic offered a single, solemn nod of acknowledgment-not just a father’s approval, but a

tactical passing of the torch.

“Monroe and James will stay with Hudson to maintain the illusion of my presence,” Damien continued, his voice dropping into a stony, absolute command.

“They’ll keep the decoy bird moving toward Taiwan as planned. Meanwhile, Nick, Max, Cruz, and I will meet the rest of you in Japan.”

On the monitor, Harper leaned in, her smirk replaced by a technical focus.

“And once everything is done and we’ve moved Jamie to a secured location for his recovery,” she

said, her fingers flying across a keyboard off-screen, “Damien, Ashcroft, Max, and Cruz will

dead-head back to Singapore exactly how they arrived-discreetly. From there, we’ll show your departure to Taiwan. We need to create a realistic illusion for Volkov.”

She tapped a key, and a second, jagged flight path illuminated the screen in a bruised violet glow.

“The attack on Ashcroft Pavilion won’t be as loud as the first,” Harper explained, her voice dropping

into a clinical, detached rhythm. “But it will be enough. Enough for Volkov to swallow the bait, and

enough to justify the rest of the group ‘rushing’ to join Damien in Taiwan.”

*She looked around the room, her gaze lingering on the family members who were about to

become ghosts. “Aunt Dahlia stays dark in Japan-we’ll have a carefully vetted security detail at her disposal. Mom returns exactly as scheduled. It’s the only way to keep the profile perfectly, boringly routine.”

Harper shifted her focus to Maya and Lee, her eyes lit by the cool glow of the monitors.

“The three of us will head back together,” she said, her voice reclaiming its sharp, tactical edge. * We’ll make our re-appearance in the country as if we never left.”

She leaned back, her silhouette dark against the scrolling data. “A week later, the seven of you fly home from Taiwan, following the exact same manifest structure as your departure. To the world, it’s just a long, successful business trip. To Volkov, you’ve handled the issue, secured the location, and returned-nothing more, nothing less.”

She offered a slow, cold smirk toward the camera, her eyes glinting with the arrogance of a master

architect.

“The perfect, boring alibi,” Harper said, her voice dropping to a clinical whisper. “By the time Volkov even gets a sliver of doubt, the trail will be cold and we’ll already be sleeping in our own beds.”

Ashcroft leaned back, finally looking more at ease as the last pieces of the puzzle clicked into

place.

“I’ve already scrubbed Jamie’s medical records,” he said, his voice clipped and authoritative.”

Everything is in order. His entire medical team is on standby, fully briefed, and ready to move the moment we get the green light.”

Monroe pushed off from the wall, his massive frame casting a long shadow across the glowing

schematics.

“I’ll adjust the schedule for the new security recruits,” he added, his voice dropping into a low, authoritative rumble. “I’ll have them report tomorrow morning to sync with Hudson and Cruz’s arrival.”

He caught Damien’s eye-a silent, heavy assurance of loyalty passing between them.

“I’ll station our most trusted men in the lobby to oversee the hand-off,” Monroe added, his voice

steady. “It’ll look like our standard protocol for new hires to avoid raising suspicion from the other staff. We’ll keep it routine-no reason for anyone to look twice.”
