The sound of approaching vehicles broke the morning silence. Camille crouched behind a stack of crates, her heart pounding as Evelyn’s men poured into the complex. They moved with military precision, their weapons drawn, scanning the area for any sign of the ledger.
Evelyn and Conrad entered moments later, their confident strides sending a chill down Camille’s spine. Evelyn’s sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, her lips curving into a faint smirk.
“They’re here,” Evelyn said, her voice carrying through the air. “I can feel it.”
From her hiding spot, Camille watched as her husbands sprang into action. Leo triggered a tripwire, setting off a series of explosions that sent Evelyn’s men scrambling. Noah and Matthew emerged from their positions, taking down guards with calculated precision.
Camille’s breath hitched as the chaos unfolded around her. She clutched the ledger tightly, knowing it was the key to ending this nightmare. But as the fight raged on, Evelyn’s gaze landed on her, and the smirk returned.
“Camille!” Evelyn called out, her voice cutting through the noise. “You can’t hide forever. Come out, and we’ll end this quickly.”
Camille’s hands trembled, but she refused to give in. Instead, she slipped through the shadows, making her way toward the central part of the complex where her husbands were fighting.
The battle was brutal and unrelenting. Evelyn’s men were highly trained, and for every one that fell, another seemed to take their place. But Noah, Matthew, and Leo fought with a fierceness born of love and desperation.
Camille joined them in the heart of the complex, clutching the ledger as she watched Evelyn and Conrad approach. Conrad’s smug grin sent a wave of anger through her, and she stepped forward, her voice ringing out.
“You’ve lost, Conrad. You’ll never have this.” She held up the ledger, her voice trembling but strong.
Evelyn’s eyes narrowed. “Do you really think you can stop this, Camille? That ledger is bigger than you—bigger than all of us.”
“No,” Camille said, her voice steady. “It’s exactly as big as I let it be.”
