The words hung in the air like a blade poised to fall.

"How close?" Alina whispered, her body frozen in place.

Renee checked her screen again, her face growing more tense. "Less than a kilometer from here."

Thomas—who had apparently followed them despite being asked to stay, a discrepancy they'd deal with later—rose quickly from his chair, his eyes sweeping every corner of the small house.

"We need to turn off all the lights," he said quickly. "And find a backup exit in case they actually find

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    The Tables Turned

    Margaret stepped out of the rental car, her two trusted men following behind, their bearing alert but confident.The wooden house looked dark and silent before them, no signs of life visible from outside."Are you sure she's still here?" one of the men asked Margaret, his voice low."My contact's information says so," Margaret answered, her eyes narrowing at the house with cold calculation. "Quickly, before anyone notices our arrival."They approached the front door carefully, one of the men checking the lock with a specialized tool.The door opened without a sound.They entered, a small flashlight dimly sweeping across the empty room.The living room was quiet. The kitchen was quiet. No signs of life anywhere.Margaret felt anger beginning to burn in her chest. "They've already left.""How is that possible?" one of the men hissed. "Our contact said they were still here a few hours ago."Before Margaret could answer, the room's lights suddenly switched on bright, blinding them momenta

    The figure stepped out from the shadow of the trees, and the faint moonlight finally illuminated his face.Adrian."Adrian?" Alina whispered, not believing what she saw. "How can you be here?"Renee lowered her hand, which had been ready to take action, the tension in her shoulders easing slightly though her vigilance hadn't fully faded."I took the first flight the moment I heard about Margaret," Adrian answered, out of breath, clearly having just run through the forest to catch up with them. "I couldn't just sit still at the office while you were in danger.""How did you know we were here?" Renee asked, still wary though beginning to trust Adrian's identity."Salvatore told me the location of the second safe house," Adrian answered. "I just arrived a few minutes ago, and saw you all moving away from that house. I followed you."Alina felt her knees weaken with overwhelming relief, though vigilance still filled every nerve in her body."You shouldn't have come," she said, though her

    The words hung in the air like a blade poised to fall."How close?" Alina whispered, her body frozen in place.Renee checked her screen again, her face growing more tense. "Less than a kilometer from here."Thomas—who had apparently followed them despite being asked to stay, a discrepancy they'd deal with later—rose quickly from his chair, his eyes sweeping every corner of the small house."We need to turn off all the lights," he said quickly. "And find a backup exit in case they actually find this place."Renee was already moving, checking every window, making sure the curtains were tightly closed."How could they know we're in this area?" Alina asked, her voice trembling between fear and confusion. "We just got here.""I don't know," Renee answered, her voice tense. "But this is too much of a coincidence to ignore. It's as if they know our every move before we've even decided on it ourselves."Renee's phone rang again. Salvatore."We found something concerning," Salvatore said witho

    Panic immediately spread through the entire room."How could they know?" Alina pressed, her voice trembling violently. "This place shouldn't be traceable. No one knows this address except—"She stopped, something terrifying beginning to take shape in her mind."Except the people we trust," Renee continued, her voice heavy with the same conclusion.Thomas stood, his face tense. "Are you saying there's a traitor among us?""I don't know," Renee answered honestly, already back to focusing on her laptop, her fingers moving quickly checking every communication channel that might have leaked. "But we don't have time to figure that out now. We need to act."Her phone rang. Salvatore again."Renee," Salvatore's voice sounded tense, different from his usual calm. "Our team lost track of Margaret and her men about twenty minutes ago. They disappeared into a rural area, a spot with few surveillance cameras.""And now they know the address of this house," Renee said, her voice tense."I've alread

    The name Vincent Moretti instantly silenced the entire room."That doesn't make sense," Alina whispered, trying to process what she had just heard. "Why would Vincent's man go with Margaret? Isn't Vincent working with Daniel, not Margaret?"Renee shook her head slowly, her fingers still moving quickly across her laptop keyboard. "That's what makes it even more worrying. If Margaret and Vincent are now working together, without Daniel's knowledge, that means there's a new game being played—a game even Daniel himself might not fully understand."Thomas, who had been listening carefully, finally spoke. "Maybe Vincent is disappointed with Daniel. After everything that's happened—the raid, the investigation going deeper—maybe he's looking for another way to get his revenge on Adrian, regardless of the failure of his alliance with Daniel.""And Margaret is taking advantage of that," Nora added, her voice full of worry. "She needs someone with the right skills and connections to carry out he

    Alina's world felt like it had stopped spinning."How do you know that?" she whispered, her voice barely audible."One of her personal assistants saw her booking a private flight last night," Daniel answered, his voice still filled with genuine panic. "Destination Auckland. She departs in a few hours."Alina felt her body shaking violently, panic taking hold of every nerve."Why is she doing this? What does she actually want?""I don't know for certain," Daniel answered honestly. "But Margaret has always believed you're the root of all this family's destruction. From the very beginning, she's tried to remove you in various ways. Now, with everything that's happened—the investigation, the possibility of me going to prison, Junior starting to hate me—she might think the only way to 'fix' everything is to make sure you never come back."The words struck Alina with a deep sense of dread."I need to warn Renee and Salvatore," she said quickly, already moving to end the call."Alina, wait,"
