She glanced at her watch almost reflexively. It had been ten minutes. Why hadn't the sound of an explosion rocked the base yet?
Leopold's gaze was sharp as an eagle's, piercing through her thoughts with ease. "Don't bother waiting," he said, his voice cutting through the tension. "We’ve shot the one who wanted to trigger the doomsday device. Remember the secluded island in the Caribbean? It was for you. You'll spend the rest of your days there. It's the greatest mercy my mother, uncle, and I could offer."
With a sweeping gesture, several figures in black emerged from behind the rocks, swiftly apprehending Tanya and her aide.
Tanya's fists clenched. The game wasn't over yet. As long as they couldn't locate Geoffrey, she still had a shot at turning the tables. She was confident they would never be able to find Geoffrey.
After a fierce firefight, most of the AK Group's base personnel were arrested or neutralized, with only a few managing to escape in the chaos.

On a lazy Sunday afternoon, Aurelia took Ramona to the hospital to visit Ramona’s parents. After receiving the serum, the doctors had eradicated the virus plaguing their bodies.
Ramona had decided to come clean about her "crimes" and apologize to Rocky. She refused to hide like a turtle in its shell.
Rocky's parents forgave her, and after some deliberation, the school board decided to issue a verbal warning as a deterrent to others.
Megan received word of the AK Group's downfall at Azure Skies Villa. Jewel had fled into the night.
She couldn't fathom how Leopold had dismantled such a vast organization in a single night.
Then Kevin arrived with divorce papers.
"From now on, you have nothing to do with Mr. Leopold."
She collapsed like a deflated balloon, her voice desperate. "I don't consent to this divorce. I won't agree to it! In life, I belong to Leopold. In death, I'll haunt him!"
Kevin looked down at her as if he was despising a dying ant. "The truth is Mr. Leopold was never married to you. Your marriage certificate is fake."
Each word struck Megan like thunder, scorching her to the core.
"It can't be true. I don't believe you. You're lying! I bore his child!"
Kevin's voice was ice cold. "Mr. Leopold never touched you. The man you were with wasn't him."
