Chapter 53

Lucas's eyes locked onto mine, his expression torn. "You're asking me to betray Helix," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

"I'm asking you to do the right thing," I countered. "Help us bring down Helix, and we'll ensure Betty's safety."

Damian stepped forward, his presence reassuring. "We'll protect her, Lucas. You have our word."

Lucas's gaze drifted to his sister, now safely ensconced in our secure safehouse. His shoulders sagged, the weight of his decision evident.

"Okay," he said finally, his voice firm. "I'll help you."

Together, we crafted a plan to dismantle Helix's operations. Lucas provided crucial intel, while James and Maya worked tirelessly to build a case against the corporation.

Nova's financial expertise helped unravel Helix's complex web of transactions, exposing their illicit activities.

As we worked, Rita's presence lingered, a reminder of the complex web of allegiances and rivalries.
