    “It wasn’t direct,” Finn admitted, “but Sharon met a branch member of the Gunn family overseas. He mocked her for giving up on Jensen, told her what a big figure he’d be. He asked if she regretted it. Sharon couldn’t stand the humiliation, so she came back determined to steal Jensen away. Even the excuse of her te–stage cancer–that was given to her by him.”


    Natalie lowered her head with a coldugh.


    Yes, there had been outside maniption. But if Sharon had been a woman who knew her ce, she wouldn’t havee back to snatch another woman’s man. And Jensen–if he’d truly loved her, no flimsy lie could have shaken him.


    In the end, it wasn’t fate or schemes. It was simply that the love hadn’t been deep enough.


    Shaking her head, Natalie said quietly, “Flies only gather on cracked eggs. Sharon and Jensen ending up together–maybe that’s their destiny. Finn was right about one thing. I loved too blindly. I was foolish.”


    “Don’t say that about yourself.”


    Baron’s tone was sharp, unable to bear hearing her demean herself.


    But Natalie only smiled at him. “I’ll be fine. If I can face my mistakes honestly, my path forward will be steadier and longer.”


    Shauna nced at her, startled. She had always thought Natalie was fragile, a hothouse flower that needed Mr. Gunn’s protection. Now she realized how wrong she’d been.


    Finn, too, looked at Natalie in a new light. Freed from the chains of love, she was calm, incisive, seeing truths deeper than most.


    Baron, seeing her steady again, felt his own tension ease. His face, however, grew hard.


    “Shauna, find out who that Gunn branch bastard is. I want him to suffer a fate worse than death.”


    “Yes!” Shauna strode out to make the call.


    Finn’s emotions had steadied. He lowered his head. “Mr. Gunn, punish me. I’ve done unforgivable things. I have no one left. Let my life pay for the brothers I cost.”


    “You don’t want revenge?”

    The question snapped Finn’s head up. His heart throbbed with longing. He wanted nothing more than vengeance. But would Mr. Gunn give him the chance?


    Baron’s sigh was low. “There is a chance. The question is whether you’ll take it.”


    “Mr. Gunn, name it. Through fire or des, I won’t hesitate.”


    Baron shook his head. “I don’t need you in fire or des. I need you to leave the organization -and for me to hunt you down.” <fnf6cf> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? F?ndNovel</fnf6cf>


    Finn went rigid.


    Leave? After decades, after rising step by step from a boy at Baron’s side? It felt worse than death.


    “Mr. Gunn… better you kill me now.”


    “Killing is illegal. I don’t break thew,” Baron said tly.


    Even Natalie nearly rolled her eyes–if there was anyone who feared thew least, it was him.


    Finn slumped, despair swallowing him.


    Just then, Shauna returned. She saw his face, snorted, and kicked him in the side.


    “Has your brain gone to the dogs?”


    Finn grimaced in pain. “What did dogs do to deserve that?”


    “You’re worse than a dog.”


    She red at him. “Think. The Gunns destroyed your family, and we already have proof you betrayed your brothers. If you stay here, who would follow you? Better to y along–leave the organization, let Mr. Gunn issue a kill order. What choice will you have but to survive?”


    The realization struck him. “I’d… have to seek the Gunn family out. Pretend to side with them.”


    Baron’s voice was cool. “Call it what you like. I’m giving you a chance to take revenge with your


    own hands.”


    Tears rimmed Finn’s eyes again. This was mercy, and it was also a path–onest bond of brotherhood extended to him.


    He turned to Natalie. Seeing her calm face, herck of resentment, shame burned in him. He knelt and knocked his forehead to the floor.

    :


    “Ms. Summers, I’m sorry. For everything. Please–take care of Mr. Gunn.”


    Natalie flushed scarlet. Take care of Baron? What right did she have to-


    Before she could respond, the sound of rushing footsteps echoed from outside.

    Baron’s face hardened instantly. “Get Ms. Summers back to the sterile room. Activate the security systems.”


    The vi’s design allowed the sterile wing to be reached directly from the lounge, without needing to go through the main doors.
