The Firewall Breaks

Chapter 71The atmosphere in the Frost penthouse was tense enough to snap a diamond.Zara walked through the front door, shedding her ruined suit jacket and tossing her hard hat onto the entry console. She felt entirely hollowed out, a ghost haunting her own pristine apartment."Mommy!"Leo came barreling down the hallway. He wasn't holding his tablet or his tools. He just threw his small arms around Zara’s waist, burying his face into her stomach.Zara gasped softly, dropping to her knees and wrapping her arms tightly around her son. She buried her face in his dark hair, inhaling the sweet scent of his strawberry shampoo, letting the reality of his solid, living presence ground her."I'm okay, baby.

Zara pulled a single, folded sheet of paper from the inside pocket of her crimson blazer. She didn't hand it to them. She merely held it up, allowing Victor to see the unmistakable Swiss laboratory crest and the highlighted chemical breakdown of Ethan’s blood.Victor’s breath hitched."Say one more word, Chloe," Zara challenged softly, never breaking eye contact wi
