"Hardly. She's the key to your vulnerability."
Luka's eyes narrowed.
"You'll never succeed."

"What's wrong? " she asked.
Luka hesitated, not wanting to burden her.
But Kate's intuitive gaze saw past his facade.
"Tell me, " she insisted.

"We'll face this together."
Together, they devised a plan to counter Victor's attacks.
Luka's team rallied around him.
But just as momentum rebuilt, Victor landed a crushing blow.

"We'll face this together."
But Luka feared losing everything they'd built.
