Two hours earlier, the special forces had received information that Lorenzo, a ruthless man with many killings to his name, was at the International Banquet Center. They monitored the centers entrance closely and managed to evacuate everyone safely. Initially, they had planned for the informant,

Mitchel, to leave as well.
However, Mitchel claimed it was too late and Lorenzo was specifically targeting him. He stayed inside to assist with the operation.
Although everything seemed perfectly arranged, Lorenzo had still managed to place explosives at the banquet center undetected, a bold move indeed.
Now, Mitchels life was in immediate danger. The situation was critical and required swift action.
After confirming Matteo was clear, the commander didnt hesitate and said, Make the call.
Matteo used the satellite phone.
Raegans phone was designed for such critical situations. It could be tracked via satellite and was resistant to signal jammers, enabling calls through satellite connection.

Raegans phone emitted a long series of monotonous beeps. No one picked up.
In her room, Raegan was crouched in the corner by her bed and the wall, hands clasped over her ears. The blast just now had almost burst her eardrums.
Thankfully, the blankets had muffled the sound while she slept, or the shock might have knocked her out, putting her life at risk.

Raegan was aware that Mitchels wedding was taking place in the hotel but lacked the courage to attend. Moreover, Mitchel had explicitly barred her from returning to the country. Given it was an enforced stopover, she chose not to cause any trouble, deciding instead to stay in her room and sleep.
She had slept until nearly evening when the explosion jolted her awake. Disoriented, she initially thought it was an earthquake and dashed from her bed to the corner for safety.

Raegan was confused. Wasnt Mitchel supposed to be amid of a wedding?
How could something have happened to him?
After Matteo quickly explained the situation, Raegan blinked, still processing the revelation silently. She didnt expect Mitchel to be suffering from a severe illness nor did she expect the cause of his illness stemmed from the syringe Lauren had injected into him, the injection originally meant for her. All these things went beyond her wildest dream.
Then, Raegans mind shifted to Mitchel. Had he been suffering all alone this whole time?
In an instant, she felt completely overwhelmed, panic consuming her.
