Chapter 281

Magnus's car was parked not far away.

He'd heard Isadora's voice at the meeting earlier that day, and an impulse he couldn't explain had drawn him to The Vaughan Group's headquarters. He hadn't intended to approach her-just to be nearby, to catch a glimpse of her from a safe distance.

Suddenly, the entire parking lot was plunged into darkness.

A split second later, Isadora's scream sliced through the night.

Magnus flung open his door and leapt out, sprinting toward the spot where he'd last seen her, chasing the faint outline of her shadow.
