Evelyn's POV:Less than ten minutes after the helicopter disappeared toward the estate, the first drop of rain hit the broken car window.Then the sky opened up.Rain poured into the overturned vehicle, and the water quickly rose over my ankles.A voice crackled in and out over the bodyguards' radio."The rain's too heavy. Route 9 is flooded... The ambulance is at least 50 minutes out."I looked at Sophia. Dr. Harris was stabilizing her neck.She had an oxygen mask over her face, and her skin was gray, like porcelain that might shatter at any moment."We can't keep waiting," I said."Ma'am, Sophia can't handle being moved without medical support.""The rain's pouring in. She can't take being drenched in here either.""Ma'am—"The monitor suddenly let out a long, piercing alarm.Sophia's heart rate shot from 120 to over 200. The green trace bunched into a jagged blur."V-tach again!"Dr. Harris turned up the oxygen at once. The nurse pressed the defibrillator pads back down firmly."Eve

Evelyn's POV:Florian Keller was the top pediatric heart and transplant specialist in Zurich.Six years ago, he'd asked me out, and I'd said no.But Dante still didn't like him.Florian's calm, professional voice put me at ease. "Send me her full medical records. Give me 20 minutes."Twenty-two minutes later, he video-called me.He got straight to the point. "My team and I have talked it over. We can get the RSV under control first, monitor the brain bleed, and then do the transplant as quickly as possible. But you'll need to fly her here on a medical jet, and it could cost several million dollars or more.""Money isn't a problem."When I hung up, I was shaking with excitement.I hurried to Dr. Carter's office and asked him to start the transfer paperwork.When I walked out of his office, I froze. Dante was standing at the door of Sophia's ICU room, his head tilted, frowning at me.The armed bodyguards behind him had silenced the entire floor."Where did you go? Sophia's lying in there

Evelyn's POV:When the plane touched down, I looked out the window and saw a pediatric critical care ambulance waiting at the end of the runway. Six armed guards in dark coats stood beside it.To protect Sophia's privacy, every vehicle transporting her had been registered under a Swiss medical company.We hadn't filed a public flight plan when we left New York, and we'd changed call signs once along the way.I didn't know how long these measures could keep Dante in the dark, but as long as Sophia made it into the operating room, he couldn't order the pilots to turn back.We got to the hospital quickly, and I saw Florian again for the first time in years.He nodded to me by way of greeting, then wheeled Sophia into the exam room with his team.Ten minutes later, Florian came out."The bleeding in her brain hasn't gotten any worse. We can remove the hematoma with a minimally invasive procedure. As for the RSV, we have an antiviral drug that hasn't officially come to market yet. It's stil

Dante's POV:After the video cut off, I kept staring at the screen.Sophia's face was so pale it almost blended into the pillow.If it hadn't been for the numbers changing on the monitor, I wouldn't even have known she was alive.For the past few days, I'd kept telling myself that keeping Sophia in New York was the safest choice.But Evelyn had defied my orders, taken our daughter, and pulled a hundred million dollars out of my business.I should have been furious, but now I couldn't deny that Evelyn had succeeded.She'd found a new heart and gotten our daughter through the surgery alive.If she'd obeyed me, Sophia might still be lying in a New York ICU, waiting for her failing heart to stop."Have you traced the signal?" I asked, turning my head.One of the men standing in front of me shook his head. "They're routing it through three encrypted nodes. The last one is inside the hospital in Zurich, but the cameras on the whole VIP floor have been cut."I turned to Dario, my second-in-co

Evelyn's POV:Seven years had passed, and he was taller than I remembered. At nearly six foot three, he even stood above Dante.His dark hair fell carelessly over his forehead. There was a faint new scar over his left brow, and his shoulders had grown broader.Only those gray-green eyes hadn't changed."Every one of Savino's men has been dealt with. No one gets onto this floor without my permission.""Did Dante send you?"Renzo was silent for a moment."He agreed to hand over Palermo if the rescue failed, but Corrado was watching his planes the whole time. If he'd left New York himself, you and Sophia would have been killed immediately."Florian had injured his right arm during the firefight and wouldn't be able to work for a while.Luckily, the rest of the transplant team was alive. Sophia's heart rate had spiked from the fright, but her new heart showed no sign of rejection or other trouble.Seven hours later, Dante arrived in Zurich.Dante walked into the ward looking grim. His eyes
