5 Last Chance


    “I can give you onest shot.”


    Max lifted his chin. “Aren’t you that kid’s private tutor right now?”


    Ann froze. She hadn’t expected the conversation to pivot so fast.


    But she still gave a quiet, honest reply. “Yeah. I’ve spent most of my time at thepany with that kid.”

    Thinking about it made her frown as she asked in confusion, “But even after all that, how could she still be suspicious of me?”


    “Guess.”


    Max crossed his arms and leaned all the way back in his chair.


    “Guess?”


    Ann’s face dropped, and her tone did too.


    “Hah. Ann, Tess is smart. I told you that before you even went in.”


    Max added with a cold snort.


    Ann’s grip on the phone went limp.


    All she could think of were those eyes Tess had fixed on her.


    That smile. That curve of her lips. It looked soft, but it chilled her to the bone.


    Only now did she realize how badly she had underestimated her.


    Max didn’t bother wasting time or sympathizing with her regret. His voice turned sharp.


    “Get that kid out. That’s your final task.”


    Ann’s stomach <i>dropped</i>. In that brief silence, she couldn’t help but think back on all the time she’d spent with Ken.


    The kid was smart. Thoughtful. And this mission had been the easiest undercover work she’d ever taken on.


    Ann let out a long sigh. She felt …plicated.


    She ended the call, but she couldn’t calm down.


    When did she blow her cover? What gave her away?


    She turned it over again and again in her mind as she tossed and turned on the couch. Then she grabbed her phone and sent Ken a


    text.


    “Did you understand everything we went over today?”


    Ken hadn’t gone to bed yet. He replied fast. “Understood it all, Ms. Rushie!”

    Ann stared at the screen. For a second, she almostughed. She had lived in the dark her whole life. And now she was someone’s teacher?


    Her lips twitched into a crooked smile. But she forced herself to refocus.


    “By the way, I might take a few days off. So tomorrow’s lesson will be pretty packed. Come to the office early.”


    She didn’t hesitate. She typed the message and hit send.


    “Got it, Ms. Rushie. I’ll be there early.”


    Ken replied without missing a beat.


    But right after he did, three heads peeked over from behind him.


    “Looks like she’s about to make a move.”


    Raven smirked as she spoke first.


    “Guess we better show up early, too.”


    Tess stretched her arms. “Get some rest tonight, everyone.”


    The next morning…


    Mars Legal…


    Ken and Ann were the first to arrive at the front entrance. The security guard was already up, but thepany doors weren’t open


    yet.


    “Ms. Rushie!”


    Ken’s eyes lit up as he jogged over.


    Ann met him halfway.


    “I brought all my books!”


    Ken grinned as he unzipped his backpack to show her.


    Ann didn’t even look. She just reached out and set his bag down.


    Ken looked confused. He couldn’t figure out what she was trying to do.


    “No one’s gonna steal your stuff. The guard will watch it.”


    Ann bent slightly and looked straight at him, her eyes warm and gentle.


    “So what are we doing? You asked me toe early.”


    Ken scratched his head. He sounded totally lost.

    “Come with me. Learning isn’t just about what’s in a book.”


    Ann grabbed his arm and started pulling him toward the car. Ken was still dazed and trying to catch up. But right then, as if on cue, a ck car rolled to a stop at the curb.


    Ken’s instincts kicked in. He stepped forward like he always did and shouted for the driver not to park there.


    Right after he yelled, the car stoppedpletely.


    Ken’s brow twitched.


    The next second, the back door flew open. A group of men rushed out. Each one grabbed a shoulder and yanked Ken into the car.


    “Hey!”


    Ken’s eyes went wide as he screamed for help. But the teacher he had trusted so much just stood there and watched. Then she knocked on the back seat window. It rolled down, and a pair of cold, menacing eyes stared back at him.


    Ken finally snapped. “You’re in on it! What the hell are you people doing?!<b>” </b>


    He thrashed wildly in panic. But against a bunch of grown men, it was useless.


    “What’s going on here?”


    Right then, the ck SUV’s windows started rising as it got ready to pull away.


    A cold voice with a mocking edge rang out. Ann’s feet froze like they were nailed to the ground.


    She turned stiffly. And right there, waiting with a half–smile on her face, stood Tess.
