The moment those terrifying words left my daughter's lips, the mission crystallized. This was no longer just a family dispute; it was a calculated, brutal conspiracy, and I was going to tear it out by the roots. I stayed by Maya’s side at the hospital until she was stabilized in the ICU, surrounded by an armed police detail....

“Where is it?” I asked.
Lily’s eyes moved toward the nightstand. “My phone. The drive is gone, but I copied everything to an encrypted folder yesterday. I sent the access key to Professor Lang at school.”
I almost smiled. Even injured, my daughter had planned ahead.
Morgan didn’t. “Who else knows?”

The cold, unyielding concrete floor pressed hard against my cheek as the tactical agents secured my wrists behind my back in heavy, biting steel zip-ties. They hauled me to my feet without a shred of gentleness, dragging me past the terrified bank staff and shoving me into the back of a heavily armored black SUV. Sirens blared as...

"Let go of me, General," I said, my voice dangerously low. I tried to yank my arm back, but his grip was like solid iron. He didn't even blink. His thumb traced the jagged edge of the star-shaped burn, his hand trembling so violently I could feel it vibrating through my own bones.
"Evelyn?" he breathed out, the name...

I stepped backward so quickly my hip struck the medication cart.
“Don’t call me that.”
Hale lowered his salute.
Clark looked between us. “Sarah, do you know the admiral?”
“No.”
Hale’s voice broke through mine. “Her name was Anna Mercer. Navy lieutenant. Medical Corps support detachment, Ramstein, 2017.”
My hands started trembling.
I hated that everyone could see it.
“Admiral, stop.”
“You were listed as killed.”
“I said...

The underground parking garage was a concrete tomb, the air thick with the smell of exhaust and impending violence. The blinding high beams of the SUV cast long, distorted shadows against the walls as Richard Sterling, Damon, and the trembling assistant, Julian, fanned out to box me in.
"You really thought you could just walk away?" Sterling hissed, his...

Derek tapped the bat against his palm. Victor stood beside a black SUV, coat open, anger replacing the polished smile he had worn in my husband’s room.
A third man waited near the concrete pillar. Thin, nervous, holding a folder. “Rachel,” Victor said, “we’re going to end this tonight.”
