Chapter 419:
Sloaneās mind began moving at speed.
A highly secure, isolated, breathtaking beachfront estate. The perfect staging ground.
An hour later, Sloane stepped into the back of her waiting town car. The door had barely closed before she had her phone pressed to her ear.
āEaston,ā she said, her voice pitching up immediately.
She spent the next five minutes giving him a highly dramatized retelling of Coleās humiliating defeat.
āAnd she literally called you āprofessional, efficient, and reliable,’ā Sloane summarized, her voice rising. āEaston, in Juneās vocabulary, that is basically a marriage proposal p>
On the other end of the line, Easton let out a low, rough exhale. He didnāt bother arguing with his cousinās theatrics.
He hung up.

He sat in the quiet of his office, his long fingers tapping a slow, rhythmic beat against the polished wood of his desk.
Juneās praise was a green light. But the detail about the Hamptons estate ā her completely independent safe house ā was the real information. A flawless entry point.
He picked up his phone again and opened his messages to his private real estate broker.
Pull the listing data for the estate directly adjacent to The Crown of Poseidon in the Hamptons. If it is not currently on the market, contact the owner directly. Price is not an object.
He hit send and leaned back in his leather chair, his eyes dark with quiet determination.
The data center inside Mt. Sinai Hospital was freezing.
Massive rows of black servers hummed with a continuous, deafening roar. Air conditioning blasted from the ceiling vents, holding the room at a strict sixty-five degrees.
June sat at an isolated terminal in the corner, wearing a thick anti-static lab coat over her clothes. Her fingers flew across the keyboard, pulling down the latest batch of anonymized clinical trial data for Apex Bioās second-generation drug.
This was the first time since her brutal confrontation with Cole that she felt entirely at peace. The complex algorithms and chemical structures were a perfect, logical sanctuary.
The heavy security door hissed open.
A senior floor nurse walked in carrying two steaming cups of terrible hospital coffee. June knew her ā the undisputed authority on hospital gossip, a woman who held the secrets of every billionaire who had ever checked into the VIP wing.
The nurse spotted June and immediately made her way over, eyes practically brimming with excitement. She leaned in close, pitching her voice just above the roar of the servers.
āDr. Erickson,ā the nurse said breathlessly, ādid you hear? Mr. Comptonās girlfriend ā that Beasley doctor. She just got admitted to the top floor p>
Juneās fingers stopped moving.
Her hands hovered over the keyboard. Her face did not change. Not a single muscle twitched.
The nurse, oblivious to the stillness, kept talking, her words spilling out in a rush.
