The cabin smells of pine and antiseptic.Guest’s
cries echo against wooden walls as armed shadows patrol outside. Dante's hand trembles against yours, his knuckles white.

Then his phone rings.

The room freezes. Vincent stands by the window, expression unreadable. Marco's hand drifts toward his holster. Your husband's jaw tightens as he listens, his eyes darkening with a fury you've never seen.

Someone in this room sold you out. Someone knew you'd be vulnerable, defenseless, giving life while they planned to take it. The cabin wasn't just a safe house. It was a trap to catch a rat.

Dante ends the call. His gaze sweeps the room like a blade.

The traitor is here. And everything you thought you knew about trust is about to shatter.
