"Oh shoot, I'm gonna be late! I'll catch up with you later. Don't worry about the kids, I've got it covered!"
Blossom called over her shoulder to Elysia, then waved at Tarquin before hurrying into the preschool.
Elysia let out a deep breath, finally pulling herself back to the present.
The next few days went by smoothly.
The kids were busy with school, while Clayton and Pamela were up to their ears in renovating the new house.
Tarquin was slammed at work, and Elysia threw herself into studying holistic medicine.
A few days later, thanks to Benjamin's hard work, Victor managed to crack the cure for the virus ahead of
schedule.
The entire medical community cheered-it was a huge breakthrough. No one suspected Elysia or Tracey had
anything to do with it.
It was the best possible outcome. Exactly what they'd been hoping for.
After dropping the kids off at school, Elysia chome, ready to dive back into her research. But then her phone
rang-a call from an unfamiliar number.
She answered, only to hear Zane's voice on the other end.
Her first instinct was to hang up, but Zane was faster. "Elysia, please don't hang up. Just letsay what | have
to say. If you hang up, I'll keep calling until you're sick of it."
Elysia frowned. "What do you want?"

Zane's voice was low and a little broken, heavy with regret.
"I never thought we'd end up like this. | thought if we just toughed it out for a few years, I'd make enough money
to give you the life you deserved. | never imagined..."
"Elysia, | was so close! Just a little more and | would've made it! But then Tarquin ruined everything. He ruined it
alll"
"He's destroyed"
As soon as he mentioned Tarquin's name, Zane's words becjagged, forced through clenched teeth.
He'd mapped out a dozen backup plans for himself, and Tarquin had snuffed out every single one.
Tarquin had been ruthless-no mercy, not even a sliver of hope left.

That big payoff was the reason he'd signed that insane bet agreement with Alpha Thorne in the first place.
Now, with the deal dead, there was no way he could bring in billions in just three months.
Which meant he was doomed to lose the bet.
And that meant he'd have to hand over Central Pharmaceuticals, the company
he'd poured his soul into for years, straight to Alpha.
On top of that, he owed Alpha a massive payout.
But he didn't have the money-not even close.
And losing Central Pharmaceuticals meant he no longer had the leverage to run his human trafficking ring.

He was worse off than a rat in an alley.
At least a rat could hide in a sewer. Zane had nowhere left to run.
No country was safe-he had enemies everywhere.
And it was all Tarquin's fault.
"Elysia, you think Tarquin's sgreat guy, but he's more ruthless than anyone
I've ever met. No one's as cold-blooded as him!"
"He's leftwith nothing-not a single way out!"
