Roberto had Alicia moved to the tower's most secure floor within the hour, every entrance triple checked, every camera feed personally verified by Priya's own hands rather than trusted to anyone else."This is excessive," Alicia said, though the exhaustion in her voice suggested she didn't fully believe her own protest."It's necessary," Roberto said firmly, guiding her toward the private sitting room, refusing to let her out of arm's reach since the moment they'd left the medical facility. "A man with a decade of hidden resources just received payment specifically authorized against you. I'm not taking a single unnecessary risk, Alicia, not after everything we've already survived to get here."She sank onto the sofa, exhaustion finally catching up to her fully, and Roberto settled beside her, pulling her gently against his side."I keep thinking about how close we came to finally being finished with all of this," she murmured. "Ignacio confessed. Doris and I found something like pea

Alicia read the message a fourth time, a fifth, until the words stopped making sense as language and started feeling instead like something physical lodged behind her ribs, sharp and unmoving: ‘Someone you currently trust completely.’She looked up slowly, and found Doris watching her with an open, worried concern, and felt something cold and shameful twist through her chest at the thought that had already, unwillingly, begun forming.“Was it you?”She hated herself instantly for it. Doris had bled for this cause, had stood in a hospital room and forgiven the man who'd built her entire life on a lie, had risked her own safety wearing a wire into her father's estate. And still, for one terrible, involuntary second, Alicia's mind had reached for suspicion before it reached for reason."What did it say?" Doris asked gently.Alicia hesitated, old training warring against the part of her that desperately wanted to simply trust someone, anyone, without immediately calculating the cost of th

Alicia's whole body went cold the moment Priya said the word ‘closing’."Put him on speaker," she said, already crossing the room, her heart hammering so violently she could feel it in her throat. "I need to hear this."Priya complied instantly, the driver's voice crackling through, tense but controlled, the particular calm of a man trained specifically for exactly this kind of moment. "The vehicle's gaining fast. I'm taking the next turn early, to see if it follows the same pattern or breaks off."Alicia gripped the edge of the table, every second stretching unbearably long, Doris's hand finding her shoulder, steady and grounding despite the fear surely running just as sharp through her own chest."It's still with us," the driver said, tighter now. "Mr. Alvarez, stay down."Alicia heard Roberto's voice, faint but audible, steady despite everything. "I'm fine. Do what you need to do."The next several seconds passed in a blur of clipped, urgent instructions, the driver calling out tur

Fear moves fast when it finally has a real place to go. Alicia felt it carry her straight from the kitchen chair into the back of a car, Roberto's hand locked tight around hers, before her mind had even finished catching up to what Priya had just told them."How is that possible?" Roberto asked, his voice tight as the car pulled away. "Security cleared everyone entering that building. Cross's face isn't unknown anymore. We circulated his photograph days ago.""A face can be changed with the right patience," Priya said grimly, working her phone even as the car sped through empty streets. "Facial hair, glasses, a uniform nobody looks at twice. I've already alerted the facility's own security team and requested full lockdown until we arrive."Alicia stared out the window, watching the city blur past in streaks of pale morning light, and felt something strange settle over her fear. Ignacio had spent thirty two years being the danger in every room he entered. Now, for the first time in her

The hospital corridor felt longer than Alicia remembered, every step toward Ignacio's room heavier than the last, as though her body already understood what her heart was still refusing to accept. She had walked corridors like this once before, the night Matt lay dying in his own bed surrounded by people who loved him without complication. This felt nothing like that. This felt like walking toward a grief tangled up with anger, love braided so tightly with harm that she could no longer tell where one ended and the other began.Doris was waiting outside the door when they arrived, her eyes red rimmed, her arms wrapped tightly around herself. "The doctor says it could be hours. Maybe less. He wanted us both here, and Roberto too, if he's willing.""I'm willing," Roberto said quietly, his hand steady on Alicia's back.They stepped inside together, and Alicia felt her breath catch at how small Ignacio looked now, swallowed by the pale hospital sheets, his once commanding presence reduced
