LUCAS' POV

The attention in the room suddenly shifted from Audrey to me and I let out a nervous laugh as I finally sighed in defeat. They wouldn't stop until they got the truth from me.

“Alright, I'll tell you what happened. But I'm absolutely fine, okay?” I reassured them, and they both nodded immediately while Aiden simply stared at me like I was a storyteller.

“I was on my way to the office when a cat started tailing me. I wasn't fully sure that I was the one being tailed until I went fast and furious mode and they followed after me immediately. I was waiting for a police officer to flag me down so that I could tell them that I was being chased but there was none. Not even when I crossed a red light without stopping.” I started to explain and they all stared at me with a concentrated expression, causing me to chuckle.

“Well, continue, Mr Fast and Furious,” Claire said, and Audrey nodded in agreement as I raised my hands in surrender.

“Fine. There was a huge traffic in front of me a

    Audrey's POVHe circled his fingers around my hand, his eyes locking mine in the darkness of the van. "Audrey, I promise you, our love is our armor. Michael will not win. I will protect you and Aiden, no matter what." His words were a rope to cling to, although I could see the tension lying deep within his eyes—a reflection of the storm brewing outside and within our hearts as well.We reached the extraction point—a very secure checkpoint on the city edge. The van came to a stop with a screech, and Lucas escorted me and Aiden out. In the open space, pandemonium broke out. Gun-wielding security guards hastened back and forth, and howls of approaching sirens commingled with the distant muted hum of urgency-filled radio transmissions. I eyed Lucas as we were taken through to an anteroom functioned as a security monitor post. His metal-hard face set in absolute resolve tinged with extreme concern and I both loved him and worried for him in equal measure. Our love will carry us through."I

    Audrey's POVThe van hurtled down rain-soaked roads, neon lights a blur of streaks as we drove towards where we were headed. Lucas's hand still held mine—a promise in the chaos. My mind reeled with questions and terror as Michael's threats echoed in my head. Every second that passed was a ticking time bomb; every beat yelled of fear and determination."Lucas, how do we know this will work?" I demanded, voice trembling as hard as I could fight it.He regarded me over the glass, his eyes black and resolute. "Audrey, we don't have a choice. Michael has pushed us to this, and I promise you, tonight we bring him down—or die trying." His vow and challenge sent shivers down my spine.I grasped his hand firmly, holding his strength as we came out in front of a rundown factory complex. The building loomed above the angry sky like a wounded beast, its broken windows and rusty iron a record of time and neglect. It was our choice of battleground—a place where Michael had fought back for the final

    Audrey's POVTime slipped away from me. Every minute dragged with the horror of losing him. I paced the room, restless, my mind filled with visions of our wedding day, our wedding vows, our laughter and giggle-filled moments that had mapped out our gentle bliss. I heard Lucas's voice in every whisper of the wind, his stern face at night. Lucas is safe. He’s secured the main hall. We’re ready for extraction.”A rush of relief surged through me, but it was tempered by a new message on my phone:"Final reckoning: surrender or be consumed."My heart dropped. I grasped Daniel's arm, and he raised an eyebrow in ire. "Audrey, sorry, but Michael's not finished. We have only one choice remaining to make."I cast around the room with my gaze, the overwhelming scope of what was being inflicted on us smothering me. "What choice?" I shook out.Daniel's voice was resolute. "You make a decision now—do you fight, or do you submit and allow Michael to claim your family?"My head reeled. The notion of

    Audrey's POVI bore our crisis within me to the very bone marrow of my body. This was not Michael's threat against me, this revolting conduct. We were suspended as a family, and whatever we stirred up by doing at each step now existed or perished in a smoldering schism.Lucas took me to a tiny room at the rear of the hall. "Stay here with Aiden," he instructed the guard, then turned to me. "Audrey, I have to go out and recon our perimeter. I need to know where Michael's guards are."I caught his arm, my vision clouding with tears. I nodded, my words trembling. "I know you will, Lucas. But I'm afraid."He held my face in his palms, his own face set in a determined expression with a bit of desperation. "I do know. I'm scared too. But our family—our love—is the only thing that makes me brave enough to fight for something. I won't let them destroy us."The guard shut the door on Lucas, and I was left in the tiny room with Aiden not moving. I bounced him on the floor, and tried to clear my
