Chapter 79 Out With The Old

• Ruby’s POV
• The night felt colder than usual. As I stood in Dominic’s office, watching the city lights flicker beyond the large windows, I could feel the weight of everything pressing on me. The threat from the Gustavos had loomed over me for weeks, casting a shadow on every moment of peace I tried to build. But tonight, it was ending.
• I glanced over at Dominic, who was pacing the room, his jaw clenched in thought. He hadn’t told me much about the sting operation. He didn’t want to share unnecessary details, especially when it came to something this dangerous. But I trusted him. He’d assured me that the police were handling it, that I was safe. And for once, I had to believe him.
