Jodie escaped.

Ever since Jodie had left the office, she had been paranoid and hadn't dared to return to her rented apartment, knowing Dylan's men could be waiting to pounce. Contacting Erica wasn't an option either.

That woman was more dangerous than Dylan. Erica wouldn't hesitate to silence her permanently.

Jodie had holed up at a friend's place, planning to escape in the late hours of the night. But what she didn't know was that Justin and his team had been watching her every move from the shadows.

In a car parked discreetly down the street, Justin's gaze was fixed on the towering apartment building. He picked up his phone and called Dylan. The line connected after a few rings.

"Jodie is hiding at her friend's place," Justin reported, his tone grim. "We're outside the building. Do you want us to go in and grab her?"
