Marcus pressed his back against the shipping container, his breathing labored from our sprint across the dock. Blood still trickled from the cut above his eye, but his grip on the bolt cutters was steady.

"You sure about this?" he whispered, glancing toward the massive cargo ship where armed guards patrolled the gangplank.

I nodded, though my heart was hammering so hard I could barely think straight. "Liam's distraction won't last long. We have maybe ten minutes before they realize what's happening."

Through the maze of shipping containers, I could see chaos erupting near the ship's bow. Liam had done exactly what we planned. Smoke was billowing from what looked like a small explosion, and guards were rushing toward the commotion, shouting orders at each other.

"Now," Marcus said.

We ran in a crouch toward the loading area where containers waited to be lifted onto the ship. The massive steel boxes towered above us like a metal forest. Each one could hold dozens of people, and the

    LiamThe taste of smoke filled my mouth as consciousness crept back. My head felt like someone had used it as a punching bag, and every muscle in my body screamed in protest. I was lying on Victoria's apartment floor, surrounded by scattered files and broken glass.How long had I been unconscious? The tranquilizer dart had hit me hard, but something had jolted me awake. A sharp smell. Burning.I forced myself to sit up, fighting through the dizziness. Across the room, orange flames were climbing up the curtains near Victoria's desk. The fire was small now, but it was spreading fast."Damn it." I struggled to my feet, using the wall for support. The apartment was empty. Victoria and her men were gone, leaving me to burn with all the evidence.But they had made a mistake.Victoria's laptop was still open on her desk, the screen glowing through the smoke. She must have left in such a hurry that she forgot to take it. I grabbed it and stumbled toward the door, coughing as the smoke got th

    Ava The sound of gunfire echoed through the underground tunnels as I ran, my bare feet slapping against the cold concrete. Behind me, the screams of women filled the air, mixing with the shouts of armed men who had breached our sanctuary. "This way!" Dr. Chen grabbed my arm, pulling me deeper into the maze of tunnels that snaked beneath the city. Her face was streaked with blood from a cut above her eye, but her grip was steady. "There's an exit that leads to the subway system." My lungs burned as we sprinted through the darkness. The emergency lighting cast eerie shadows on the walls, making everything look like a nightmare. Two days ago, I felt safe here. Two days ago, I believed we were winning. "How did they find us?" I gasped, stumbling over loose debris. "Someone talked," Dr. Chen said grimly. "Or they followed one of the women we rescued. It doesn't matter now. What matters is getting you out of here." Another burst of gunfire, closer this time. I could hear boots po

    VICTORIAI stood over Liam's unconscious body, watching the steady rise and fall of his chest. The tranquilizer dart had done its job perfectly. His face looked almost peaceful in sleep, nothing like the broken man who'd discovered the truth about his precious Isabella just minutes ago."Clean this up," I told my men, stepping over the scattered files. "And make sure he stays unconscious for at least six hours. I have work to finish."The apartment felt different now that all my secrets were out in the open. No more pretending to be the devoted mistress. No more fake tears or manufactured sympathy. After five long years of playing a role, I could finally be myself again.Anna Volkov. Not Victoria Cross, the identity I'd stolen from a dead woman in Prague.I walked to the window and looked out at the city sprawling below. Somewhere out there, Ava was probably celebrating her rescue, thinking she'd escaped the worst of it. Poor fool. She had no idea that her suffering was just beginning

    LIAMThe elevator to Victoria's apartment felt like ascending to hell. I had her key, the one she'd given me months ago when she'd played the role of devoted friend and confidante. Back when I thought she was helping me grieve Isabella's death instead of celebrating it.The hallway was empty at two in the morning. Most of the building's residents were asleep, unaware that a monster lived on the fifteenth floor. I slid the key into Victoria's lock, half expecting it not to work. But it did, and the door opened silently into darkness.I used my phone's flashlight to navigate through her living room. The space looked different than I remembered, colder, more clinical. The family photos and personal touches that had made it feel lived-in were gone. It looked like someone was preparing to leave.But Victoria had left something behind.In her study, filing cabinets stood open, their contents scattered across the floor as if someone had been packing in a hurry. I knelt down and began sorting

    AVADr. Chen led me down a different corridor than the one I'd seen before. This hallway had thicker doors with electronic locks, and I could hear the hum of serious computer equipment behind the walls."The women you met earlier are the ones we've helped escape," Dr. Chen said, stopping at a heavy metal door. "But there are others here. Women who've been fighting this network longer than you can imagine."She pressed her palm to a scanner, and the door clicked open. Inside was a room that looked more like a war room than a hiding place. Multiple computer screens covered one wall, showing security feeds, financial records, and what looked like surveillance photos. Three women sat at workstations, their faces illuminated by the blue glow of their monitors."Ladies, I'd like you to meet Ava Cross."The first woman to turn around made my breath catch. She was elegant, with silver hair pulled back in a perfect bun, wearing a pearl necklace that probably cost more than my old apartment. Sh
