Chapter 14

• ADIRA
• Before we landed in New York, we had finalized the plans for Andronikos nefarious activities- a task that felt equal parts exhilarating and damning. With a little time to spare, I decided to freshen up with a quick shower, hoping to rinse off the weight of what we’d just put into motion, By the time I stepped out, the pilot’s voice crackled through the speakers, calmly announcing our impending descent and reminding us to fasten our seatbelts.
• After a while, the jet landed with a smooth thud, and I let out a sigh of relief. It wasn’t the flight that had me on edge though. It was the company. Andronikos, the annoying pest, sat across from me, sipping his drink like he owned the universe- which knowing him, he might as well have.
