A renewed resolve
I reassured Lucas we’d be okay, but my resolve to uncover the truth intensified. Every new piece of information felt like a puzzle begging to be solved.
Lucas was my top priority; keeping him safe meant finding out exactly what Markon was up to. I held onto the belief that knowledge was power.
The urgency of our situation fueled my determination. Markon may have underestimated me; he wouldn’t see what was coming until it was too late.
