I took a step toward her.
“Always find out who signs the paychecks.”
She tried to aim at me again.
A single dry shot struck the ground beside her foot.
The gun fell.
“Don’t raise it again,” a voice ordered.
Sebastian appeared accompanied by federal agents.
Within seconds, the place was surrounded.
Martha was freed.
Simone ended up in handcuffs.
Julian backed up until he hit a column.
“This can’t be happening.”
Sebastian placed an arrest warrant in front of Simone, related to espionage, conspiracy, and the theft of classified information.
Julian looked at me.
“Rachel…”
I didn’t answer.
“Listen to me. I didn’t know everything. Simone manipulated me.”
“You want me to feel sorry for you?”
“I did love you.”
That sentence almost made me laugh.
“You ordered them to take out my uterus.”
He lowered his head.
“I was confused.”
“No, Julian. You were convinced I was weak.”
He took a step closer.
