“But you knew Leo was with me.”
“Yes.”
Maya swallowed.
“If you were standing in front of me right now…”
“I know.”
“No. You don’t.”
Her voice trembled.
“You disappeared while I was carrying your child. I buried an empty coffin. I raised him alone. And now I discover you were alive because you decided to turn us into bait?”
“I deserve everything you’re feeling.”
“Stop talking like an intelligence report.”
Silence.
“Tell me why.”
Ethan answered quietly.
“Because the network found the copy.”
Maya frowned.
“What copy?”
“The evidence in your helmet.”
“How?”
“Someone accessed your mother’s shipping information.”
Cold spread through Maya.
“They know it’s going to Madrid.”
“Yes.”
“And this flight?”
“Was supposed to be delayed. Nothing more.”
Maya laughed bitterly.
“That worked beautifully.”
“Reeves was bribed to divert you to the Azores. Celeste discovered the plan and hijacked their remote system to expose it.”
