Chapter 1003:

As Chris mulled over this thought, a strange sense of foreboding crept in — as though fate itself had chosen to mock him. The group he had once built from the ground up was now turning its attention toward his wife. He had made it clear to Raegan that Maia was off-limits, yet in direct defiance of his warning, Raegan not only ignored him but also teamed up with another member of The Mask to confront Maia.

Such behavior was out of character, unlike anything that had happened before. Perhaps Raegan had inadvertently revealed something about her identity and was now trying to win back Kiley’s trust by targeting Maia.

But Raegan had made no prior report to him. If she had, he would have shut the plan down immediately.

Then, there was the darker possibility — that Raegan had already abandoned The Mask entirely and was now standing with Kiley.

No answer seemed certain for now. Chris knew he would have to confront Raegan soon and lay down a clear warning. If she had truly turned against them, he was ready to cut her out of the organization without a second thought.
