The days blurred together as Benjamin and his team worked tirelessly to fortify their defenses. Clara, true to her word, stayed involved, offering insights and support wherever she could.
But Evelyn was always one step ahead.
It started with a seemingly harmless shipment of flowers delivered to the shop Clara had been trying to rebuild. She thought it was a kind gesture from Benjamin, but the truth was far more sinister. Hidden among the blooms was a listening device, giving Evelyn access to their plans.
When Benjamin discovered it, his rage was volcanic. "She's not just targeting me—she's coming for you," he growled, his fists clenching.
Clara's resolve hardened. "Then we make her regret it."
Their bond strengthened as they faced each challenge together, but the pressure was taking its toll. Evelyn's attacks became more brazen, and the line between ally and enemy blurred further.
