kis capture.

In his eyes, I saw tilgnation.

“Leave us,” I instructed, keeping my voice steady despite my mnge.

When alone, I studied him silently–the loyal assistant who had betrayed me.

“She’s gone,” I finally said, stating the obvious. “Where is she?”

My fingers flexed involuntarily, “Because 1 punished you? Was this your revenge–liberating them like some righteous savior?

Rodriguez leaned forward raghly. “He betrayed you, sir look your money, your resources, the stabbed you in the back, In my opinion, he deserves to offer. And someone more… loyal should talk his position.”

His transparent ambition imitated me. First, find them.

My patience evaporated. “Is Tavid all you can think about?

Alone, I lit a cigarette despite having quit years ago. The harsh smoke filled my lungs as I stared out at the Mediterranean.

Why did the run? What did Sean Shaw offer that I couldn’t provide?ive years of supporting her, caring for her children, patiently waiting to warm her heart—and still she fled.

My body rejected the smoke with a violent cough. A guard rushed over, but I waved him away.
