While James was heading back to the hospital the tension was thick elsewhere.
"We need to accept the truth…this is over." Marco De Luca said, pacing back and forth in the room, biting his fingernails.
"We are still the Circle, and we will remain as we were before." Sophia said to Marco, but he neither listened nor looked at her.
"That's not true." Isabella Russo said, her gaze fixed on Sophia. "Victor is dead, and James almost died too. But worst of all, they killed Rafael. And I'm sure he won't give a damn about us when he burns the city down."
Marco stopped and looked at them. "That's true. He didn't even tell us about Lucian's daughter, nor that he was planning to leave the market." He stepped closer to the table. "And don't forget, you were the target, not Hans and Rafael."
"Yeah, and we were lucky we didn't leave our houses that day." Isabella added.
Sophia stayed silent for a moment, deep in thought.
