But she doesn’t know who she’s dealing with.”Damien’s lips pressed to her temple. “And I know I’m lucky to have you. Always.”The conference room was packed.

They’re going to love seeing them.”May’s smile softened. “And I… I’m glad they’re coming.

The city hummed with quiet energy, the streets awash in amber light as the evening deepened. For most, it was a peaceful night. But for May Austin, danger lurked just beyond the glow of streetlights—a threat meticulously orchestrated, patient, and lethal.Evelyn sat in a dimly lit room, her fingers drumming on the polished mahogany desk.

Every detail of May’s life had been observed, logged, and analyzed.“They think they’re untouchable,” Evelyn whispered, eyes glinting. “They don’t know the storm coming.”Her hired men were professionals—experienced, ruthless, and utterly loyal.
