The previous night.
A restless moon hung over Vancouver that night, casting a pale glow across the cramped apartment block where Marco Ashford arrived in a breathless rush.
His heart thudded louder than his footsteps, though he kept his face carefully composed.
Inside, Florence stood in the faint hallway light, her cheeks streaked with tears, her shoulders trembling.
"Florence, what happened?" he asked, mustering his best tone of concern.
She clutched at his arm, her grip so tight it hurt.
"Marco-oh God-my daughter! They took Sophia! You've got to help her!"
Marco forced a sympathetic frown, fighting the guilt that coiled in his stomach.
"Who took her?" he asked quietly, even though the answer was already gnawing at him.
He'd sold Sophia's address to Hans, and the shame of that betrayal pressed like a cold stone against his chest.
Florence's voice cracked, her tears renewing. "I-I don't know. It was so fast. Please, Marco-you have connections, you can do something!"
He nodded, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Take it easy," he said softly, sounding smoother than he felt. "I'll call my people. I promise they'll find Sophia. Nothing will happen to her."
Florence let out a shaky breath, clinging to his reassurance as though it were the only thing keeping her upright.
"Thank you," she whispered, eyes red and desperate. "You are the only one I believe."
Stepping aside, Marco pretended to dial a number, anxiety tightening his gut.
Returning to her, he wore the mask of a grim messenger.
"I got some news," he said heavily. "Harlan Drake is after Sophia because of Alex. He attacked Drake's prince. Jasper's in the hospital." He paused, letting the gravity of the words sink in.
"Drake's out for blood."
Florence's knees nearly gave out. "My baby... my Sophia..." The heartbreak on her face made Marco's throat close up.
"Don't worry," he lied, gentling his voice. "I've got people on it. She'll be safe, I swear." As he spoke, the hope twisted his
stomach.
Part of him silently wished the entire mess-Alex, Sophia, all of it would just vanish.
His life depended on it.
When the axe entered the forest, the trees said, "The handle is one of us.'
Elsewhere in Vancouver, the tension was a physical thing, crackling through the air like static.
