Whatever it took, Westley was going down.

Hadley watched Bennett steadily, something steely flaring in her eyes. She nodded.

“We’re going to release Kitty—” David began.

“What?” Bennett barked.

“She needs to do her normal routine and be at the wedding. She’ll be monitored.”

Bennett cursed and ran a hand through his hair.

“So, we’ll all be at the wedding,” Hadley said.

“Yes, undercover,” David said. “Killian and Hadley, you’re going in as guests, along with your man Bram. Knightley, you’re too recognizable.”

“I’m going,” Bennett bit out. There was no way in hell he’d not be there.

David’s mouth flattened. “Listen—”

“Bennett can go undercover with the catering team,” Hadley said. “No one will be looking for a billionaire serving food and drinks.”

Bennett shot her a grateful look.

The MI6 boss’ face twisted but he finally nodded. “Fine. I’ll have agents seeded throughout the guests. It’s a country estate with a stately home, just outside of London. I’m sending in a tech team today to put up cameras. It will be fully monitored.”

“I guess I need another dress,” Hadley said.

Bennett couldn’t help but smile. Of course, she had to go shopping. “So, by tomorrow afternoon we could have this bastard.”

“Wewillhave him,” Hadley said.

“All right, go,” David said. “Keep up your regular work routine. Don’t arouse any suspicions.”

Bennett pulled in a breath. Tomorrow this could all be over.

“Come on, boss.” Hadley elbowed him.

“Hmm, I like you calling me that.”

She rolled her eyes.

Hadley really,really liked Bennett’s Bentley Continental GT. It was sleek classy, but not too flashy like the Ferrari.

They were headed to the Secura office, and she was eager to plan out the operation for the wedding tomorrow.

Finally, they could catch this Westley. Her belly tightened. She didn’t want Bennett hurt.

She glanced at him in the driver’s seat, gaze tracing the strong line of his jaw. She knew how far he’d go to protect his company and people.

Just a week ago, she’d thought him just another rich, pushy man with his own agenda.

Now, everything had changed.

“We need to prep for tomorrow,” she said.

He nodded.
