"I have waited for this day for ten grueling years!" Julian roared, his thumb hovering over the red button. "My father rotted in prison, and now your family will pay with blood!"
But Lily didn't step back at all. She stood tall, her icy, sharp eyes glaring straight at the enemy. She knew any unnecessary movement right now would trigger catastrophic consequences.

Ethan appeared right behind her, bringing absolute authority and utter fury. He had mobilized the entirety of his highest-level security forces to protect his beloved daughter.
Julian panicked and stepped back, about to press the detonator. But a rubber bullet fired with precision from Grace's hand slammed into his wrist, sending the device clattering to the floor.
