Seraphina felt the cold air of the balcony against her skin while the message remained on her phone screen. The bomb is already on the balcony. And Adrian just triggered the timer.
Her pulse increased, but she forced herself to breathe slowly because panic would not help anyone standing there.
Lucien stood only inches away from her. His attention remained focused on Adrian and Victor, yet he noticed the subtle change in Seraphina's posture.
He leaned slightly closer. "What happened?"
Seraphina kept her expression neutral while she lowered the phone. "I just received another message."
Lucien's voice remained calm. "What does it say?"
Seraphina met his eyes briefly. "It says that Adrian triggered a bomb on this balcony."
Lucien did not react immediately. His gaze moved across the balcony while he quietly processed the information.
Seraphina continued speaking in a soft voice that only he could hear. "The device might already be active."
