Theres no way out, Katie, Mitchel said, his voice harsh and unyielding. This hotel is surrounded by your old ally.
Surrounded? What kind of joke is this? Katies face was a mask of terror and disbelief as she knelt, trembling. How could you possibly have gotten Lorenzo to come here?

She finally spoke Lorenzos name, revealing her recognition of him.
Knowing Lorenzo as she did, Katie refused to believe Lorenzo would intervene just because Mitchel asked.
After all, Lorenzo had been blacklisted by Ardlens special forces five years ago and hadnt shown much interest in returning.
Mitchel looked at her with a faint smile. Hes here because his beloved wife has died.
His wife is dead, so why surround this place? I didnt kill her
Katies voice faltered, her eyes widening in sudden realization. She stared at Mitchel, stammering, Was Was it you?
The smile on Mitchels Lips grew more pronounced, and his silence was as loud as any confession.
It wasnt Mitchel who had orchestrated the ambush, but it was on his territory that Lorenzos wife met her tragic end, victim to one of Lorenzos numerous adversaries.

In response, Mitchel had devised a plot to convince Lorenzo that he, Mitchel, was responsible. His aim was clear. He intended to draw Lorenzo into a trap in Ambrosia.
Mitchel knew he was running short of time. As long as Lorenzo was alive, peace was a distant dream for Raegan. After all, Raegan was still in his hunting List.
Driven by revenge and grief over the murder of his wife, Lorenzo, known for his vengeful spirit, would surely seek to harm the woman Mitchel cherished.
To counter this, Mitchel quickly announced his engagement to Katie, spinning a tale of rekindled love with his childhood sweetheart, propelling their fabricated love story into the limelight worldwide.
Mitchel meticulously orchestrated everything, timing his moves perfectly. When Lorenzo appeared at the International Banquet Center, Mitchel had called in the special forces, ready to assist in apprehending Lorenzo, even at the risk of his own life.
Yet, Lorenzos resources and insanity was shocking, having managed to secretly plant explosives throughout the building.
Fortunately, Mitchel had foreseen this possibility. He had arranged for everyone in the building to be evacuated before Lorenzos arrival.
Now, the building stood empty except for Mitchel and Katie.
Mitchel was prepared for the worst. If Lorenzo discovered the trap and attempted to escape, Mitchel was ready to confront him. They would both perish in the explosion.
Mitchel, have you gone mad? Katie exclaimed, her face turning deathly pale.
Katie pieced together Mitchels plan and knew Lorenzo well enough to predict his reactions. If Lorenzo believed that Mitchel had harmed his beloved, he would see her as the next target, tortured her to death. By then, that madman wouldnt spare her, regardless of the truth.
Katie regretted the story she had fabricated in Lorenzos presence, now exacerbated by Mitchels ongoing declaration of their romance.
Lorenzo would surely think she was the woman Mitchel loved. No explanation would change Lorenzos mind, given his vindictive nature.
He was the type to err on the side of excess rather than risk a mistake.
