DIVORCED, I QUICKLY MARRIED A BILLIONAIRE의 모든 챕터: 챕터 71 - 챕터 80

The safe house alarm went off at six in the morning.Not a slow alert.A full military evacuation protocol.Officers moved through the building fast. They grabbed Maya and Marcus without explanation."What is happening?" Maya demanded."The location is compromised," an officer said. "We are moving you. Now."They were loaded into an armored vehicle.As it pulled away, Maya looked back.Three black vans were pulling up to the safe house entrance.Not military vans.Unmarked. Dark. Professional.The Phoenix.They had found the location.The vehicle sped through the city. No destination announced. Radio chatter was encrypted. No one told them where they were going.Agent Cross called Marcus's phone."We have a problem," she said. "Bigger than Damson.""What?" Marcus asked."Catherine Wei is talking," Cross said. "She is giving us intelligence in exchange for a reduced sentence. And she just told us something that changes everything."She paused."Damson's mother was not the second in com

The cells were underground.Concrete walls. Metal doors. No windows.Maya and Marcus were thrown into separate cells.She could hear him through the wall. Breathing. Alive."Marcus?" she called."Here," he said. "You okay?""No," Maya said.Hours passed. Or days. No way to track time.Then footsteps.A guard stopped at her cell.He opened the door."Come with me," he said. "Quietly.""Why?" Maya asked."Because Catherine Wei sent me," he said. "And if you want your son back, you move now."Maya stood up fast."Where is Marcus?""Being freed now," the guard said. "There is no time. Move."She followed him down the corridor.Marcus appeared from another passage. Another guard with him.The guards led them through the compound quickly. Not running. Walking like they belonged there."How did Wei reach you?" Marcus asked."She did not," the guard said. "She reached someone she knew. That person reached me. The Phoenix is not as unified as Damson thinks. Some of us do not believe in what is

The extraction happened in minutes.Damson's team moved Marcus, Leo, and Wei out of the compound through a tunnel system no one knew existed.Three black vehicles. No markings. Military-grade security.Marcus was unconscious. Beaten. But breathing.Leo was sedated. Not awake to see what was happening.Wei rode in the second vehicle with two guards. Still playing her part. Still undercover.Damson was in the lead vehicle. Driving himself. Eyes on the rear-view mirror. Watching for pursuit.The convoy moved fast through the mountains.Military assault teams arrived at the compound twenty minutes later.Empty.Completely empty."They are gone," Cross said through the radio. "All of them. Damson, Marcus, Leo. Everyone."She was in a command vehicle tracking the movements."Where did they go?" an investigator asked."Unknown," Cross said. "No vehicles left the compound. No helicopters. Nothing.""They did not just disappear," the investigator said."Check the underground," Cross said. "The

Wei was in a federal holding facility.Not a prison. Not a cell. A secure conference room with guards outside.Maya, Marcus, and Cross entered for the interrogation.Wei was sitting at a table. She looked thinner. Older. But her eyes were still sharp."Hello," Wei said. "I am glad you made it out alive.""You sent us into a trap," Maya said."I sent you to save your son," Wei said. "Which you did. That was not a trap. That was a rescue."She looked at Cross."I am ready to talk," Wei said. "But I want my deal confirmed first. Full immunity. New identity. Safe location.""Confirmed," Cross said. "As long as your information is accurate.""It will be," Wei said. "I have been planning this for years. Waiting for the right moment to burn the Phoenix from the inside."She pulled out a folder.Inside were documents. Names. Locations. Operations."This is everything," Wei said. "Thirty-seven active Phoenix cells worldwide. Four hundred million dollars in assets. Two hundred and fourteen memb

Two weeks after Patterson's escape, Leo had his first good day.He laughed. Actually laughed. At a cartoon Maya was showing him.Marcus sat beside them.For the first time in weeks, they felt like a family again.The federal facility was comfortable. Safe. But it was still a facility. Still surrounded by guards. Still a prison of sorts."When can we leave?" Maya asked an agent."Soon," the agent said. "We are setting up a new location. New identities. New life.""And Wei?" Marcus asked."Wei is testifying against the remaining Phoenix members," the agent said. "She is being kept in protective custody. But eventually she will be free."Leo signed to Maya."Can we go home? Real home?"Maya did not know what to say.Home did not exist anymore.Everything had changed.That night, an alarm sounded.Not the evacuation alarm.A different alarm.A breach alarm.Maya woke up immediately.Guards rushed through the facility."Stay in your room," an officer said.But Maya grabbed Leo and ran to M
