Location: Isabella’s private command suite, La Moraleja Compound, Spain
Time: Midnight (CET)
International Secure Business Call
The room was dark, lit only by the blue hue of five massive screens. Isabella sat at the head of a long obsidian conference table. One hand on her espresso cup, the other resting beside a locked file labeled Classified: Verona Ops. Her expression? Cold. Calculated. Ready.
As the encrypted call connected, four boxes flickered to life:
Ali – Spanish underboss, from her tactical suite in Valencia Hills Penthouse. Her brows furrowed.
GG – Live from Zagreb, legs up on her desk, lighting a cigarette.
Mari – In a sleek conference bunker beneath NYC’s eastside safehouse, already tapping notes into her digital screen.
Thomas – From London HQ, holding a glass of scotch, a devil’s grin barely hidden.
Off to the side, physically present with Isabella in Spain, were William and Enry — standing close, visibly protective, both watching the screens like predators.
> Isabella’s voice was sharp. Controlled.
> “We have a problem. And I’m done keeping it quiet.”
She pressed play.

Silence. Then:

Reactions from the Commanders
Ali leaned forward, eyes cold:
> “This man. He played you. Which means he played us. You want me to fly out?”
G G flicked her ash, deadpan:
> “Want him in pieces or burned whole?”
Mari rolled her shoulders, voice steady but deadly:
> “I’ll scrub his records from the NYC syndicate. We’ll make sure he has no place left to hide on this continent.”
Thomas, slow and lethal:
> “You trusted him. So he either has a death wish… or he's more dangerous than we assumed.”

Isabella’s Order
She rose from her chair — black silk blazer sharp over a gunmetal grey top.
> “No one touches him until I say so. He knows something. And he’ll lead us to more.”
