S2- Overthinking

Warmth filled the Lancaster house.Meanwhile, Dakota was surrounded by danger.After a quick dinner, she noticed Elias had gone out. She immediately grabbed a signal jammer. It wasn't the kind that filled surveillance monitors with static. Developed on the island, it froze the video feed from any camera within range instead of scrambling it. It was practically indispensable for breaking into secure locations.She switched it on.Once the blinking red light turned green, she quietly approached Elias's bedroom.She wasn't wearing shoes, only socks, and her footsteps made no sound. Pressing an electronic lock decoder against the smart lock, she waited.About fifteen seconds later—Beep.The door unlocked.Dakota slipped inside, quietly closed the door behind her, and pulled on a compact pair of night-vision goggles.Elias's bedroom was unexpectedly minimalist. A large black bed sat in

S2- Flaw

The call had already ended.Those words weren't meant for anyone on the phone.They were meant for the woman standing before him.Dakota wanted nothing more than to twist Elias's head clean off his shoulders.Outwardly, however, her face lit up with delight."Boss..." She smiled eagerly. "So you're finally making your move?"The excitement on her face was impossible to hide. She looked nothing like the real Dakota Lancaster, who treasured her family more than her own life.‘Looks like I really was overthinking it...’"Get lost."Elias had no interest in talking to her any longer. He waved her away dismissively.Dakota obediently left the dining room. Taking out her phone, she was about to make a call when an unfamiliar number flashed across the screen.She frowned slightly and answered."Nathan?"His familiar voice came through the receiver.He'd been missing for se

S2- The Pendant

The makeup artist didn't dwell on it and quickly moved on to celebrity gossip instead.Dakota found herself forced to listen to an endless stream of entertainment-industry scandals and relationship drama.By the time the makeover was finished, she was almost asleep."Miss Donna, we're done. Open your eyes."Dakota looked into the mirror.Her dark hair had been curled into soft, voluminous waves that cascaded around her face like clouds, spilling over her shoulders and down her back.Her crimson lips stood out beautifully against her porcelain skin. Her features were striking and vivid, while a soft blush swept across the outer corners of her eyes, making them look naturally flushed.The makeup artist had even placed a tiny beauty mark where the line from the outer corner of her eye met the line extending from the side of her nose.It subtly transformed her entire aura.Combined with features already so exquisite they wer

S2- The Operation Begin

Dakota didn't believe a single word. She had absolutely no faith in a lust-driven man like Elias.She merely smiled before gently placing a hand against his chest. Her palm landed directly over the pendant. Watching him from beneath lowered lashes, she caught the split-second flash of vigilance that crossed his eyes.Before he could suspect anything, she quickly withdrew her hand and lowered her head shyly."There are too many people watching. We can talk later, when we're somewhere more private."Elias studied her for a long moment. He couldn't tell whether she was genuinely shy or merely testing him. More importantly, she'd touched the pendant. He couldn't afford to gamble. Replacing it now would be far too obvious, so he'd have to wait until he found a chance to leave.Watching Dakota walk away, he smiled indulgently.Neither of them realized they were thinking the exact same thing.‘Make a move the moment we get outside.

S2- I've Caught You

The gala finally came to an end shortly after nine o'clock that evening.Everyone hidden in the shadows became even more alert.At that moment, Elias gently shook Dakota awake.Looking down at her from above, he said, "Go home and get some proper sleep. There's no rush."Toward the end, Dakota had actually dozed lightly, but the instant anyone approached the sofa, she had become fully awake.She yawned as though she had just woken up, then stretched lazily.Her fair, slender arm swept briefly through Elias's line of sight before dropping back to her side.It was like dangling a piece of meat in front of a starving wolf, only to snatch it away at the last second.Elias's Adam's apple bobbed.Bracing one hand against the sofa, he leaned down, intending to kiss her.The undisguised lust in his eyes made Dakota's skin crawl.She sprang to her feet in one smooth motion.Turning around, she found him still

S2- The Evidence

The speeding vehicle smashed headlong into one of the empty cars being used as a roadblock.The impact crumpled the vehicle.A second later, gasoline began pouring from the driver's compartment, dripping onto the pavement.Then...A lit lighter was tossed out from the driver's seat.Reid's pupils contracted."Get back!"Flames raced along the trail of gasoline with terrifying speed.Only seconds after engulfing the driver's compartment—A deafening explosion erupted.The driver's seat...The front passenger seat...Even the rear cabin...Everything exploded.The vehicle was blown beyond recognition.The people inside were reduced to mangled flesh so badly burned that they were no longer identifiable.Tongues of fire licked at the charred remains, filling the air with the nauseating stench of burnt flesh."...An attack." Reid's expression darkened.Turni

S2- Final

Here's a polished version in natural American English that keeps the tone consistent with the rest of your novel while fixing the grammar, awkward phrasing, and fragmentation:Reid glanced at Elias before turning back to Dakota."She claims she's his younger sister. According to her, Elias kept her imprisoned for years, and she's willing to testify against him. She can confirm his involvement in the organization's criminal operations.""Take her into protective custody," Dakota ordered. "What about Ava?"Reid answered without hesitation."Before coming here, she sent Sophie to Elias. We found Sophie's body at the Payne estate along with all the evidence."He paused briefly before continuing."Since Ava worked with Elias, it wasn't difficult to uncover evidence linking her to the incidents that led to the Lancaster family's deaths. She was taken into custody by the authorities and will most likely be committe
