Chapter 177

ADAM'S POV

The airport was buzzing with activity when I arrived. The bright lights reflected off the polished floors, and the noise of people rushing to catch their flights was overwhelming.

I adjusted my bag on my shoulder and glanced around, looking for Finn. A dozen bodyguards surrounded me, their presence heavy and serious, as if we were preparing for war.

Just then, I saw Finn leaning against a pillar near the private jet terminal. He looked up as I approached, his expression unreadable.

“You’re here,” he said simply, pushing off the pillar and walking towards me.

“Of course I’m here,” I replied, my voice tight. “We don’t have time to waste.”

Finn glanced at the group of bodyguards behind me and raised an eyebrow. “You really think you need all of them?”

I gave him a sharp look. “I’m not taking any chances, Finn. If something’s happened to Aria, we might need them.”
