Vincent's POV After I calmed Glydon's nerves down, I headed to the old family warehouse where secret businesses were being conducted. Silence settled inside my office like a living thing. For a long moment, I stared at the dark screen of my phone, every muscle in my body locked tight. Chloe. Of all people... She wasn't family by blood, but she'd been by Glydon's side long before I came into the picture. If anything happened to her, it wouldn't just destroy Chloe. It would destroy Glydon. I couldn't let that happen. I pressed the intercom. "Han. War room. Now." Less than three minutes later, the private security command center beneath the Rognez Empire was buzzing with controlled urgency. Massive digital screens lit up with maps, satellite imagery, and live traffic feeds. Analyst
