Chapter 12 — The Last Move
Emergency alarms screamed through the hotel.
Security rushed into the hallway.
Vivienne stood frozen as Ethan moved in front of her.
For one second, she hated herself for noticing.
He was protecting her.
The same man who had betrayed her…
Was protecting her.
A shadow disappeared at the end of the hallway.
The attacker was gone.
But one thing remained.
A small envelope left on the floor.
Vivienne picked it up.
Inside was a photograph.
Her baby ultrasound.
And a note.
THE CHILD BELONGS TO US.
Her hands shook.
Ethan looked at the note.
His face turned pale.
“They know.”
Vivienne looked at him.
“Who?”
Ethan answered quietly:
“The people who killed your father.”
The hallway went silent.
Because the game had changed.
This was no longer about money.
It was about power.
And now…

They were coming for the one person Vivienne would protect at any cost.
Her child.
