Adeline's POVI climbed back through the rope system to the surface, leaving Kayden below with Belle and the bomb techs. Every instinct screamed at me to stay, but we both knew what had to happen.Someone had to convince Russio to come.And Kayden couldn't leave the others trapped below.Marco met me as I emerged from the elevator shaft, helping me over the edge. "Well?""We need Russio. Now.""He's not going to—""I know what he's going to say. But it's not up to him anymore." I wiped dust and sweat from my face, looking at the foundry. "Grey made his demands clear. Russio comes, or everyone dies.""And if Russio refuses?""Then we find another way."But we both knew there was no other way.My phone rang before I could say anything else. I answered. "What?"Grey's voice, calm and controlled: "I assume you've discussed the situation with your people by now, assessed your options and realized you don't have any.""What do you want, Grey?""I told you what I want.

The last thing we need is another collapse.""I need to see him—""And you will, in a moment. First—" He pulled me aside, away from the crowd. "—we need to discuss what happens next.""What happens next is I make sure Kayden and Belle are okay.""After that." Russio's voic

Adeline's POV The facility was destroyed. Three levels collapsed from the breach team's explosives leaving smoke still rising from the rubble. And Grey was gone. I stood outside with Kayden, watching Russio's men search the wreckage for survivors. So far, they'd pulled out five injured guards. Three were confirmed dead. All for nothing. Grey had escaped exactly as he'd planned. "Security footage," Russio snapped at one of his tech specialists. "I want every camera feed from the last hour. Find out who breached us and how." The specialist set up equipment in the back of a van, pulling up video files on multiple screens. "Sir, most of the internal cameras were destroyed or disabled during the breach. But we have exterior feeds and one hallway camera that survived." "Show me." The footage played. The timestamp was 2:47 PM. Thirty-two minutes ago. Eight figures in tactical gear approached from the east perimeter, moving fast, coordinated. They cut through the fence like paper, di
