They say working with your nemesis is a recipe for disaster. Add in a covert operation and a dark web of secrets, and you've got a night that could either destroy my carefully crafted career or make me the most intriguing woman in Chicago's underbelly. I never wanted to team up with Grant-his smirk and overconfidence set my teeth on edge. But here we are, locked in an alliance so razor-sharp it's downright thrilling. The stakes are high: a secret network hidden behind a veil of power, a string of shady allies, and whispers of betrayal so close I can almost taste it. Sure, his charm and reckless ideas are infuriating, but there's something undeniable about him that stirs up trouble in more ways than one. And as the line between professional and personal blurs, I start to wonder-am I really ready to find out what he's hiding, or am I just playing with fire? One thing's for sure: if we survive this, I'll have one hell of a story to tell.
