White hadn’t always been in the spotlight. It wasn’t until about ten years ago that his family suddenly began to value him.

That timing was just a little too convenient.

Coincidentally–or perhaps not–that was also around the time Johnathan’s own research had been stolen. He couldn’t help but connect the dots.

The man who’d died in the last incident had finally been identified. No notable background. Which only convinced Johnathan further, he hadn’t been the mastermind.

A conspiracy of this scale couldn’t be run by someone without deep roots.

And for an organization to have operated this long in complete secrecy, its backers had to be beyond powerful.

Johnathan had once suspected White. He’d put those suspicions aside for various reasons–but now, they resurfaced, stronger than ever.

Through weeks of observation, Johnathan had come to a conclusion. White was not only a master manipulator, but also arrogant–too arrogant to accept failure.

Someone like that wouldn’t back down.

This time, Johnathan was ready. He was going to bait him into a trap.

He didn’t keep these thoughts from Sierra. She knew the plan and was already helping him set the stage.

So, Sierra gradually began drawing White into their inner circle. When spring arrived, she and Johnathan hosted another mountain gathering–like the one before–but this time, she invited her mentor, fellow researchers, and of course, White.

“Are you sure it’s safe?” Sierra asked, hesitant. “What if he tampers with the security system?”

The mountain estate had top–tier defenses. Everyone who entered went through strict screening.

“Don’t worry. He won’t,” Johnathan said confidently. “White’s not that stupid.”
