"Don't recognize her?" Edward's voice held a razor-edged delight. "How cold of you. After all, she was the woman you loved for over a decade. Burned beyond recognition and suddenly she's a stranger?"Dave lunged forward, pressing both hands against the glass as if he could somehow rip the phone out of Edward's grip.But Edward had already pulled it away."Do you know how she died?" Edward swiped the screen again, tone eerily calm. "The fire didn't kill her. She was shot first—three times.""One in the chest. One in the left leg. And the last…" He lifted his gaze, locking eyes with the ashen-faced Dave. "Right between her eyebrows.""No…" Dave's legs buckled and he collapsed to his knees. "You're lying… that's impossible!""Do you know why her death was so brutal?" Edward's voice dropped into something cold enough to freeze marrow. "Because she lost her mind. She watched her son die in front of her—hit by a car. She snapped instantly. She clutched Giles's body like a torn rag doll, hid

The rest stop along Route 305 was packed during the late-night rush.The parking lot was overflowing, and the entrances of every restaurant were crowded with travelers, the air buzzing with noise and movement.Cecilia was wedged between two men nearly six-and-a-half feet tall, escorted straight into the farthest corner of a hotpot-style restaurant.The moment Radomir sat down, regret flickered across his face—they'd been so focused on keeping a low profile that they forgot their massive builds were impossible to ignore in a crowd.A server hurried over with menus, then was immediately called away by another table.Cecilia picked up the pencil, her tone light."How about some drinks? It's not like you're worried about sobriety checkpoints."Sergey scanned the room behind his sunglasses, every muscle tense."There are too many people. We can't stay long.""I feel like she's playing us," Radomir muttered in Russian, lowering his voice.They continued in Russian, clearly assuming Cecilia—

When Liam pushed open the car door, a faint sense of unreality still clung to him--everything had gone far too smoothly.The moment his men reported that the target vehicle had appeared at a highway rest stop, he immediately dispatched dozens of people.But before his team even arrived, they were quietly intercepted by another group lying in wait.Only now, seeing the well-trained operatives forming a perimeter around the rest stop, did he understand the cost behind that so-called smoothness.Ferdinand had mobilized the Hawk Units controlled by Eliot.Thirty elite operatives were spread across seven rest stops along the route, each team accompanied by a trained negotiator.And the final directive was brutally simple:If negotiations failed, eliminate the target on the spot.The moment Cecilia saw that familiar silhouette, the cup in her hand slipped from her fingers.She stumbled toward him and clutched the front of his jacket, her voice breaking apart in sobs."Why were you so late?

The air froze.In the open-air restaurant, only the rustle of wind through the vines remained, along with the barely-there sound of their breathing.Beck stayed exactly where he was--down on one knee, ring in hand, eyes locked on her face.Eleanor stood stiff and trembling, her fingertips icy cold."Beck..." Her voice was barely more than a sigh. "Can you... give me some time to think?"He didn't lower the ring.Instead, he rose to his feet and took her hand, firm and unyielding.A second later, the cold touch of metal slid around her ring finger.Eleanor's eyes flew wide as she watched the band being pushed past her knuckle. She tried to pull her hand back, but he laced their fingers together and held her in place.The unfamiliar weight of the ring pressed against her skin like an invisible shackle."I already gave you time," Beck said quietly.The warmth had drained from his smile, replaced with something heavier, sharper. "You didn't refuse. That means yes."Eleanor stumbled back t

Gordon froze on the spot, gripping the bouquet in his hands as though he could disappear into the hallway if he just wished hard enough.Ever since the chaos at the wedding, he'd been deliberately avoiding these two--one he didn't dare provoke, and the other he simply couldn't afford to.Today was just unlucky. He'd run into both of them at once.Liam spotted him and suddenly remembered something. "Caesar's in this hospital too."Cecilia wiped the corner of her eyes and nodded. "We dragged him into this mess. We should visit him.""Yeah." Liam took her hand.Gordon's pulse spiked. He had assumed the two would leave after their little moment in the hallway. Instead, they walked straight toward him.Cecilia led the way. When she passed Gordon, she greeted him with a bright smile. "Gordon. What a coincidence."A chill ran down his spine--that smile looked way too calculated."We're going to see Caesar," Cecilia added, sweetness sharpening at the edges. "You're here to visit someone too,
