Even half-conscious in the hospital, wrapped in gauze, Naomi refused to release the chip.
Doctors whispered that she was lucky to survive.
Officers saluted her as a hero.

But the mission wasn’t over.

Because her partner—Detective Mason Hale—had taken the backup chip.

And betrayed her for $200 million.

He delivered the evidence to Victor Barrington, the billionaire, thinking he had won.
He burned the chip in Victor’s fireplace.
He drank Victor’s scotch.
He believed he was safe.

He didn’t notice the red light blinking above the bar.
A hidden camera.
Recording everything.

A camera Naomi had planted weeks ago—because she knew greed destroys men faster than fire.

When Mason visited her in the hospital, lying to her face, Naomi simply stared.

“You’re sweating,” she said softly. “You only sweat when you lie.”

His world collapsed when her lawyer walked in with the REAL backup chip.

Naomi had never kept all her evidence in one place.
She had never trusted Mason completely.
She had planned every move three steps ahead.

And Isabella Barrington, now arrested, was only the first domino.

Because the tape Mason thought he destroyed?

Naomi already had a copy.

And the Barrington empire was about to burn.
