Chapter 218: Angered
Saira’s pulse thundered in her ears. Her eyes darted between the agents, calculating angles, distance—anything that might give her an advantage. But she found none. The walls had closed in before she’d even realized what had happened.
"This isn’t possible!" Saira shrieked, her voice high and trembling, eyes wide with disbelief. She stormed a step forward, pointing a shaking finger toward Melanie. "No one else knew! No one! I planned every step—I burned every file, erased every trace! This was mine! Only I knew the location! Only me!" Her breath hitched as rage and panic twisted together inside her chest at the thought of losing him. "How the hell did you find me?!"
And then, in one sharp, sudden movement, she lunged toward Melanie. Only one thought in her mind... If Melanie was gone, Adam would be hers. She knew she might not be able to kill her but she was desperate. If nothing else, she could harm the bitch’s smug face.
She got no more than two steps before three officers closed in. One grabbed her arm, twisting it behind her back. Another shoved her down to her knees with the cold barrel of a gun pressed lightly against the back of her neck.
"Let me go! I have to kill her!"
But the officer would not let her move and Saira could only struggle as she spat, "You think you’re so clever. This place—it was scrubbed. There were no records. No digital trail. How did you find me so soon?"
It was not Melanie who answered but another man as she stared at him with crazed eyes,"Because you made one mistake. You assumed Adam wouldn’t have done anything to protect himself."
Saira froze.
Who was this man? She was sure she had seen him somewhere.... but where? And why did he look so dangerous?
