POV: EVE
Eve sat at her desk at Phoenix Talent, staring at her laptop screen without actually seeing anything on it.
The quarterly reports were due. She had three client meetings scheduled for tomorrow. Melissa had left a stack of contracts that needed review.
But all Eve could think about was what Dimitri had told her this morning.
Antonio owns an illegal pharmaceutical company.
The Covenant killed his mother with a virus Antonio helped develop.
He's planning to overthrow his father and go to war.
Eve pushed away from her desk, moved to the window.
The city stretched out below her....millions of people living their normal lives, completely unaware that monsters like Antonio Valentino existed. That organizations like The Covenant were out there developing biological weapons and testing them on kidnapped victims.
That the man she loved was planning a war that could get him killed.
Her phone buzzed.
Dimitri: How are you holding up?
