Ethan spent the next few days piecing together what Victor had told him about Tania. The connections between her and Fabian went deeper than he had imagined. This wasn’t just about lust or greed it was about control. Tania’s manipulations had stretched far beyond their marriage.
At the same time, Tania grew increasingly paranoid. She had underestimated Ethan, and now the walls were closing in. But if Ethan thought he could outmaneuver her, he was sorely mistaken.
Tania reached out to Crystal, her longtime partner. “We need to move quickly,” she said through gritted teeth. “Ethan’s getting suspicious.”
Crystal, calm and calculating, offered a sly smile over the phone. “I’ve got a plan. Don’t worry. We’ll tie up all the loose ends including Ella.”
Unbeknownst to them, Ella had been one step ahead. With Rick and Derek’s help, she had infiltrated Tania’s network, tracking every conversation, every move. The pieces were falling into place, but the danger was escalating. One wrong step, and everything could collapse.
Ella sat in the safe house, her heart racing. The twins were playing quietly in the next room, blissfully unaware of the storm that was building. She couldn’t afford any mistakes. Tania and Crystal had become more dangerous than ever, and they wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate anyone in their way including her children. The thought of Tania’s threats pushed Ella further. She glanced at Derek, who was reviewing the latest intel. “We’re running out of time,” she whispered. “We need to hit them before they hit us.”
Derek nodded grimly. “We’ll need to move carefully. One misstep, and they’ll bury us all.”
But Ella’s determination only grew. She had already survived Tania’s attempts on her life once. She wasn’t about to let her win now.
