Cain growls, lifting me with one arm as he walks to the door and opening it to take me out of the room, “I’m so fucking sick of you, Georgette.” I struggle and try to break free from his grasp… but not as hard as I could. I hate lying to myself, so I’ll just admit that maybe this was my plan all along. Maybe. { Asheron } A broken pipe in the middle of my new pack revealed a bigger underground problem that I really don’t want to deal with right now. I close my eyes and count to ten before starting to think of solutions. I’m still thinking when the hallway fills with shouting. I immediately know who it’s coming from, so I forget about the pipe problem.

CATALINA I woke up with a jolt when the morning came. The early New York sun is already rising, glistening through the window. For a moment, I forgot everything and the weight of yesterday's revelation slowly settled in me. The Gomez Enterprise is back. The original and historic Gomez Enterprise. The words still felt new, yet they resonated with familiarity after almost a year of fighting for it. I slipped out of bed, careful not to wake Dante. After putting on my robe, I went to Chen’s room to find him still asleep on his bed.

It plummeted past Tristan, a burning comet of scrap metal, crashing into the darkness of the lower shaft. Tristan lay on the swaying cable, breathing hard. He watched the fire fall.

Saoirse was waiting on a lower platform, looking up at him. He began to climb. The war was over. But the escape had just begun. End of Chapter 29

I whisper, and Garrett growls. "Do you feel pain," he asks, and I return his growl with a snarl. "No. It's as if I am half awake. I went from feeling like an over-stressed workaholic to dizzy," I explain, annoyed, and he glances at me. "Something is happening," Garrett says, and panic slaps me in the face. "The siren," I whisper before taking off.

Isaiah handed over the keys like he was used to it. I followed carefully as he entered a private room. Through the partially open door, I saw several young men dressed in sharp suits. They looked like the typical rich heirs you would see in tabloids. Pretending to be on a phone call, I loitered in the hallway near the room. From where I stood, I could see the table piled with dishes like lobster, king crab, and caviar—things I would only ever see on cooking shows. "Isaiah, seeing you in those cheap clothes cracks me up. You're the heir to billions, for crying out loud!"

I could sense my voice trembling now, not with fear but with the tempest raging in my chest. "We saved you, and I kept you in my home, and now you have the audacity to throw yourself at my husband like a bitch in heat?" Georgina's smile twitched, barely. "Make one thing clear to me, let me," I told him, moving in even closer so our faces hovered inches apart. "I'm not the same woman you ran over once. I won't beg, and I won't flee. If you want war, Georgina…" I leaned in, my voice a whisper of ice. "I'll give you one."

The way she had glanced at me like I was just another mistress or something - that’s what my desperation turned me into. He didn’t even try to defend me. I swat my forehead. Why would he? Their voices are as audible as though I were still below with them. Athelia’s upset. Crosswalk tries to calm her down. I run my hands through my hair. Still, I’m glad I shattered their wonderful night. The way he had looked at me still makes my toes curl. I shake my head at the direction of my thoughts. The door slams twice. The engine of his car roars to life.
